      History

      The Accounts Branch was established in 1961 to provide a centralized office responsible for the financial affairs of the Department of Public Works. Prior to that year, the department had several officials responsible for accounts, such as the Secretary and Accountant (up to 1955), Accountant (1955-1958) or Chief Accountant (1958-1960). The branch was headed by a Chief of the Accounts Branch, later known simply as the Director.

      The branch was discontinued in 1972 with the creation of the Ministry of Government Services. General responsibility for this area was assumed by the Finance Branch of the new Ministry of Government Services.
