      History

      The Finance and Accounting Branch was created in 1972 as part of the new Finance and Administration Division. In 1990 when the ministry was reorganized, this divsion was eliminated and thus the Finance and Accounting Branch reported directly to Corporate Services. In 1992 this Branch formed part of the Corporate Management and Support Group.

      In 1994 the functions of the Finance and Accounting Branch were absorbed by the Supply and Financial Services Branch.
