Our Vision
This mission emanates from a vision of a government that obtains and manages the financial resources necessary to meet its obligations and provides open, timely and accurate information on Nunavut’s financial position and the environmental dynamics that influence the position. The department has a vision of:
a Nunavut where priorities are developed and pursued to maximize the use of the territory’s fiscal resources in harmony with the expectations of its citizens and where residents have productive choices for economic participation.
Strengthening Financial Management
The department of Finance is continuing to improve overall financial management by developing and maintaining strong financial controls, refining the basic accounting structure and continuing to develop effective revenue and expenditure strategies, as well as, providing training and direction to GN staff and Nunavummiut for future technical jobs in the field of Finance.
The department of Finance will continue to build on these initiatives and will focus on strengthening financial practices across GN’s departments, and public agencies.
