History
The Finance Branch was responsible for budget preparation, inventory control, distribution of learning materials, coordination of capital projects, grants and audits, facilities planning, and the operation of student loan programs. In addition, it provided leadership and direction with regard to the efficient use of resources. Finance operated as an independent branch until 2001, when it became a division of the newly formed Corporate Services Branch.
