Abstract
The issue presented in the article refers to the disclosure of legal violations revealed by regional chambers of audit (RCA) as a result of financial audits of local government units. The article also assesses the financial implications of the various types of irregularities. Given the scale of the irregularities disclosed, the article addresses the concept of management control as a new category of financial goal. According to the assumptions of the legislature, this goal is to support the realisation of the aims and tasks of local government. Bearing in mind the desire to reduce risk factors generating the formation of irregularities, the article presents the essence of control mechanisms in the operation of financial management. The article presents the violations most frequently disclosed by the RCA as regards the operation of the financial management of local governments. It offers a review of the literature and examines RCA activity reports prepared by the National RCA Board. A secondary analysis of the legislation was also carried out. The study covers the years 2006–2014, a period that saw financial law change profoundly.
