Canada's Defence Team
The Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Forces are in the business of providing defence services at home and abroad to ensure the safety, security and well-being of Canadians, continental security, and international peace operations. Civilians of the DND provide operational, departmental and regional support to the CF.

According to recent DND studies, we will soon need more financial management professionals.

Financial Management
The Department of National Defence manages one of the largest budgets in the Canadian government. DND employs finance professionals to administer the budget and track spending, as well as to implement financial policies, procedures and systems, do business planning, handle accounting and internal control, and provide relevant advice to the organization
