What it does

Internal Services are those groups of related activities and resources that the Federal Government considers to be services in support of programs and/or required to meet corporate obligations of an organization. Internal Services refer to the activities and resources of the ten distinct services that support program delivery in the organization, regardless of the Internal Services delivery model in a department as per Section 6.2 of the Guide on Recording and Reporting of Internal Services Expenditures.

History and lineage

First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
