Komunikowanie się a podejmowanie decyzji finansowych przez władzę publiczną

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to assess an impact of communication between public authority and a society about financial decision-making by that authority. In this article authors consider “social communication” as a term referring to reliable information sharing about a process of public funds management. In that regard they see it as a mean of implementation of a principle of transparency, which is known in public finance science. The above mentioned purpose of the work is based on crucial problem: what are socio-political area effects (e.g. on financial decisions making or on an active citizenship) of providing various information to citizens about a process of collecting and spending public funds. Authors claim that currently in Poland methodology of delivering such information might be inappropriate (incomprehensible) from the social addressee’s perspective. This is due to the fact that it causes the process of public authority’s communicating with society is significantly distorted.
