History
The Municipal Finance Branch was established within the Department of Municipal Affairs in 1963 when the former Municipal Auditing and Accounting Branch was divided into the Municipal Finance Branch and the Municipal Accounts Branch.
During its history, the branch has been moved between a large number of Departments and Ministries. In 1972 it was transferred to the new Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs where it remained until 1978. In that year the Ministry of Treasury and Economics was established with the Branch as a part. In 1980 the Branch was transferred to the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs. In 1981 it was transferred to the new Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, while in 1985 it formed a part of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. When Municipal Affairs and Housing was re-established in 1995 the Municipal Finance Branch became a part of that ministry.
