 Of all ministerial positions, the Controller-General was the least stable, especially during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, to such a point that the Controller-General's official seat was called the "Residence of Removals" ("hôtel des déménagements").Unlike other government departments of the French monarchy, the "Contrôle Général des Finances" was organised in a highly systematic manner.It was divided into several services under the immediate authority of the Controller-General.
