    History

    The Financial Information and Accounting Policy Branch was established in 1972 within the Taxation and Fiscal Policy Division (renamed Finance Policy Division in 1973) of the Ministry of Treasury Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. It was essentially an amalgamation of the Government Accounts Branch and the Government Accounting Methods Branch in the former Department of Treasury and Economics.

    In 1978, the Financial Information and Accounting Policy Branch became part of the new Ministry of Treasury and Economics.

    In 1993, the Financial Information Accounting Policy Branch became part of the Ministry of Finance; it was then abolished, and was replaced by the Financial Information Branch and the Central Accounting Branch.
