In 2009 the CERN management changed and adopted a new organizational structure. Finance Department was renamed Finance and Procurement Department (FP) reporting to the Director for Administration and General Infrastructure.

FP Department was responsible for the financial operation of the organization which included accounting, payroll, handling of team accounts, procurements activities, certain tasks of technology transfer and sales.

In 2016, with the appointment of a new Director-General, the FP department was discontinued.

The Financial and Accounting Services joined the Finance and Administrative Processes (FAP) Department, while Procurements moved to the Industry, Procurement and Knowledge Transfer (IPT) Department. FAP and IPT Departments were integrated into the new Finance and Human Resources (FHR) Sector.
