VPRS 9458 General Correspondence Files, Annual Single Number System

Full description

This series contains files created by the Department of Management and Budget (VA 1022) 1984-1990, the Department of Treasury (VA 3007) 1990-1994 and the Department of Treasury and Finance (VA 3745) 1995-ct.

Note that records originally serialised as VPRS 9458/P8 are now VPRS 16340/P1. The records in P8 relate specifically to the Transport Reform Unit, which was established in 1997 as part of DTF, to oversee the first franchising process of public transport. As of December 2009, this function is the responsibility of the Department of Transport.

For the period 1995 to 1997, although the Department of Treasury and Finance had responsibility for the functions of both the former departments of Treasury and of Finance, separate electronic databases were used to control the records created in the different functional areas. The Department of Finance files are located in VPRS 2553 General Correspondence Files. From 1997 the correspondence from both functional areas (Treasury and Finance) was registered in the Treasury recordkeeping system.

In some instances correspondence from the previous series, VPRS 1207, may have been top numbered into this series. It is therefore difficult to determine the earliest content date of this series.
