The Act of 23 July 2003 on the Protection and Guardianship of Monuments has never been flawless and the historic preservation milieu has been aware of the consequently deteriorating monument protection system. This article explores the following problems existing in the area of cultural heritage: description and evaluation of cultural heritage, document production rules, sources of financing works carried out to heritage, effectiveness of legal processes, professional development of members of staff, organisational structure of historic preservation offices, and cooperation opportunities on different levels of state and local government administration bodies dealing with protection of monuments and sites. While reading questions provided in this article, one may be willing to ponder on directions of expected changes and ways of introducing them in Poland.

In the opinion of the author, Deputies have the right to exercise their powers of control over government and local government administration bodies pursuant to the provisions of the Act on the Exercise of the Member’s and Senator’s Mandate. The author points herein to companies with the State Treasury’s shareholding, state and local government establishments and enterprises as well as social organisations and non-state economy units. The analysed regulations do not explicitly name foundations among these entities. On the other hand, the subjective scope of Deputy’s control covers State Treasury foundations established on the basis of statutes, and the scope of control of State Treasury foundations is determined by the contents of binding statutory rules and internal statutes of such foundations.

The article explores directions of possible changes to be made to the model of monument protection. It not only recommends specific provisions but also focuses on a model understood as a structure of definitions and relations existing among them. This allows for rough description of a selected aspect of reality. The analysis comes down to deliberations on monument protection system, including necessary duties and competences of government and local government administration bodies. Effects of the principle of subsidiarity and decentralisation of Polish historic preservation administration were brought into special focus. Additionally, narrow scope of duties was determined for state and local government administration bodies.

The article is devoted to the actual issue – institutional analysis of initiative budgeting and territorial public selfgovernment, as well as the possibility of their integration. Over the past few years, a system of civil participation in budget decisions has been built in Russia, the regulatory framework of practices has been created, thousands of employees of state and local government bodies have been trained, project centers have appeared for ensuring development of initiative budgeting. Citizen participation in budget decisions can significantly accelerate the development of the lower level of local government. Initiative budgeting is an innovative instrument of public finance and at the same time a social technology allowing for the real involvement of citizens in the issues of state and municipal governance. Initiative budgeting development programs make it possible to transfer financing of projects aimed at solving local issues with the participation of citizens onto a systemic basis. The results and materials of this study can serve a foundation for theoretical understanding of the institutional development of public finances at the regional and local levels. At the same time, this practical area that was intensively developing in recent years requires deep institutional analysis.

ABSTRACT Both the business media and the popular press have emphasized the underfunding problems associated with pension funds that are set aside for state and local government workers, a group that also includes teachers and professors at state-affiliated colleges and universities. The realization that pension funds are typically underfunded stems from the fact that the accounting standards associated with state and local government employee pension funds have led to greater transparency since 2011. This paper examines, explains, and interprets the historical development over the last 70 years of accounting standards for state and local government pension funds in the United States. Changing accounting standards, along with economic and social change, have led to consequences such as employers transforming their pension programs to avoid substantial costs and significant liabilities, for example by changing from defined benefit to defined contribution plans.
