History
A centralised administration and finance division for the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General was established in 1964 to provide general office support to the Ministry and the agencies reporting to the Attorney General. The division was at that point in time called the Internal General and Financial Administration Division. Since then, the name of the division has been changed four times: in 1965, it was renamed the Administration and Finance Division; in 1973 it was changed to the Programmes and Administration Division; in 1990, it was once again renamed the Administration and Finance Division; and in 1994, it was changed to the Corporate Services Division.
Responsibility for the coordination and administration of the division rested with the Executive Director of Administration and Finance. With the change in name of the division in 1973, the head of the division became the General Manager of Programmes and Administration. In 1990, the director of the division acquired Assistant Deputy Attorney General status, becoming the Assistant Deputy Attorney General - Administration and Finance, and in 1994, Assistant Deputy Attorney General - Corporate Services.
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 combined to create the Integrated Justice Corporate Services Division, responsible for administrative policy development, financial and administrative standards, and provision of corporate support services for both Ministries.
