Prior to 1959, the financial workings of state government were conducted in various staff divisions of the governor’s office. These offices had titles such as Division of Accounts and Division of Budgeting, but did not have departmental status. The Reorganization Act of 1959 created the Department of Finance and Administration (F&A), consolidating financial and monetary matters of state government into one cabinet-level department.
