During the Second World War the accountancy work of the Board of Trade expanded greatly especially in connection with the administration of wartime controls. From 1942 the work was carried out by the Industries and Manufacturers Department, mostly at a regional level, and continued into the post war period. It undertook accountancy work involving the emergency schemes introduced for controlling the production, distribution and price of consumer goods. Professional staff within the Branch dealt mainly with the examination of manufacturers' and distributors' records to ensure compliance with the regulations. Investigations into known, or suspected, offences were also undertaken. As controls were relaxed, the work reverted to normal accountancy services for the board, and provision of accountancy services for other government departments. An Accountants Division, later Accountancy Services Division was established in 1951 to handle this work.
