Nova Scotia. Treasury Board

In 2009, Treasury and Policy Board was divided into a Policy and Priorities Committee and a stand-alone Treasury Board. In general, the mandate of Treasury Board was to ensure that plans and policies for the operation of the government are implemented in a coordinated and fiscally responsible manner. In particular, the board's mandate included review and analysis of business plans of departments, offices and government agencies and recommendations to the Executive Council on the allocation of financial and other resources to those departments, offices and agencies; establishment of values, standards, publicly-published policies, results and targets for the administration, operation, management and accountability of government, including areas related to human resources and information technology; making recommendations to the Executive Council on the broad structure and allocation of responsibilities to individual government departments, offices and agencies, and approval of structures and functions within those departments and agencies; examination and reporting to the Executive Council on all matters related to the financial management, commitment of funds, and expenditure of funds provided by the Province to departments, offices and government agencies; examination, reporting, and direction on matters relating to the development, recommendation and execution of policies, programs and plans respecting the management of the internal operations of government, including administrative, expenditure, human resource and information technology policies; establishment of policies, procedures and processes related to the commitment and expenditure of all monies provided by the Province to departments, offices, or government agencies; establishment of reporting requirements to ensure the full reporting and accountability of departments, offices and government agencies for the allocation of and results obtained by the use of financial, human, information technology and capital resources; determination of the management information systems to be used in the ongoing management and operation of departments, offices or government agencies; and taking any action deemed appropriate to ensure the ongoing governance and operation of departments, offices or government agencies in compliance with the Act. Treasury Board was assisted in carrying out its duties by the Treasury Board Office. In 2013, Treasury Board ceased to be a standalone committee when Treasury and Policy Board was recreated as a committee of the Executive Council.
