The Audit Services Branch was created within the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations in 1978. Auditing functions formed a part of the Administrative Services Branch prior to 1978, and two years prior to that were assumed by the Finance and Program Evaluation Section of the former Management Secretariat.

The branch originally formed part of the Program Services Division, but from 1981 to 1983 reported directly to the deputy minister. In 1983, when the Support Services Division was created, the Audit Services Branch was moved to that division. It became part of the Corporate Services Division in 1990.

The branch has had several minor name changes: it was known as the Internal Audit Branch from 1976 to 1986, and after 1990, it became known as the Operational Review and Audit Branch. In 2000, it was known as Internal Audit Services.

The Audit Services Branch reviews and appraises management, financial and information-technology controls throughout the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. It also provides assurance or recommendations for improvement. The branch also coordinates activities with the Office of the Provincial Auditor.
