History
The Audit Services Branch has its origins in the Ontario Department of the Attorney General's Internal Audit Branch, which was established in 1968. This branch was placed within the Administration and Finance Division (later renamed the Corporate Services Division). When the Department of the Attorney General was replaced with the Ontario Department of Justice in 1969, the Internal Audit Branch remained as part of the Administration and Finance Division of the new Department.
With the reorganization of the Ontario government in 1972, the Department of Justice was replaced with the Ministry of the Attorney General and the Internal Audit Branch was renamed the Management Audit Branch. The name was again changed in 1978, this time to the Audit Services Branch. In 1997, the Corporate Services Divisions of both the Ministry of the Attorney General and the Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services were merged together to form the Integrated Justice Corporate Services Division; a common division responsible for the administrative policy development and financial management of both Ministries. With the amalgamation, the branch was renamed the Audit and Quality Assurance Branch.
