Department of Finance (Jonathia)

The Department of Finance (DOF) is the national treasury and finance department of the government of Jonathia, where it serves as an executive department. The department oversees the Jonathian Bank Note Company and the National Mint. These two agencies are responsible for printing all paper currency and minting coins, while the DOF executes currency circulation in the domestic fiscal system. The DOF collects all federal taxes through the Inland Revenue department; manages Jonathian government debt instruments; licenses and supervises banks and thrift institutions; and advises the legislative and executive branches on matters of fiscal policy. The department is administered by the Secretary of Finance, who is a member of the Cabinet. The treasurer of Jonathia has limited statutory duties, but advises the Secretary on various matters such as coinage and currency production. Signatures of both officials appear on all Reserve Bank notes.
The department was established in 1920 to manage government revenue. The first secretary of the treasury was Lindsey Trump, who was sworn into office on December 3rd, 1920. Trump established the nation's early financial system and for several years was a major presence in prime minister Graham Follings's administration. The current Secretary of Finance is Kris Dantejo, while the current Treasurer of Jonathia is Courtney Bairstow.
