The Department of Finance (Kazulianisk: Finansdepartementet) is a department of the Government of Kazulia responsible for assisting the government across a wide range of policy areas to ensure its outcomes are met, particularly with regard to expenditure, financial management, and the operations of government.
The head of the department is the Minister of Finance and the Economy, presently Karsten Bertelsen. He is assisted in administrating the government department by the State Secretary for Finance and the Economy, who is assisted by the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Finance and the Economy.
History[]
The Department of Finance can trace its history back to the Royal Treasury of the Royal Household. It was where the King kept most of his treasures and prizes possessions. The head of the Treasury was the Royal Treasurer.
Posterior to official formation of the nation's modern government in 3519, the Royal Treasurer and the Treasury was separated from the Royal Household and placed under the direct administration of the Office of the Statsminister with the aims of having a direct influence in the collection of taxes. It was not until 3667 did the Government allow for the Treasury to become its own division of a much larger government department called the Ministry of Finance and the Economy.
Although throughout its time under the Office of the Statsminister, the Treasury maintained its formal position as being the treasure storage apparatus of the Royal Household, it was soon brought to an end with the formation of the Exchequer of the Royal Household.
Upon becoming a federal republic, the Ministry of Finance and the Economy changed its naming to the Department of Finance.
