[4] The State Treasury employs approximately 300 people and has offices at Hakaniemi, Helsinki, at Sörnäisten Rantatie 13.

Prior to the establishment of the State Treasury, these tasks were the responsibility of the Bank of Finland.

Emperor Alexander II approved the establishment of the State Treasury on June 30, 1875.

From 1901 to 1932, and again from 1965 onwards, it was also responsible for the supervision, accounting, and financial statements of state cash transactions, which at other times belonged to auditing authorities.

In addition, the State Treasury's organization includes Internal Audit directly under the Director-General's supervision.
