History
The Audit Services Branch was created in 1972 within the newly-formed Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism. The branch reported directly to the Deputy Minister.
In 1974, the branch was replaced with the Operational Review Section (later the Operational Review Branch) of the Administration Division. In 1981, however, it was named the Audit Services Branch once again, and in 1982, became part of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Since 1982, the branch has formed a part of the following divisions: the Information and Support Services Division (1982-1984); the Administration Division (1984-1989); the Corporate Resources Division (1989-1996); and the Corporate Resources and Agency Relations Division, since 1996.
