The Police as the largest uniformed law enforcement agency in Poland (more than 100,000 functionaries) with strictly hierarchical command structure is capable of entering into cooperation with external entities including non-governmental organizations. NGOs are all entities which are not public administration organs or units and which operate on a non-profit basis. A characteristic feature of an NGO is the lack of links to the public authorities. In Poland the status of NGOs is regulated by the Public Benefit and Volunteer Work Act of 2003 which introduced an extended definition of non-governmental organizations as entities engaged in public interest and charitable activities (ngo.pl, 2018).

Abstract Considering the massive environmental problems occurring in Malaysia, the media and the ENGOs are said to play pivotal roles in delivering environmental information to the mass society in order to increase their awareness, knowledge and practices towards the environment and sustainability. This study sought to shed the light on the type of roles can be played by the Malaysian media and the ENGOs in environmental sustainability communication. For the purpose of this study, 24 interviewees encompassing 13 media interviewees from two media organizations, namely Utusan Malaysia and The Star, as well as 11 ENGOs interviewees from two ENGOs organizations, WWF and MNS. The result of this study indicated that although both media and ENGOs seem to have different organizational backgrounds, particularly the media is a profitable organization whilst ENGOs are more non-profit oriented, when it comes to environmental communication, most of them agreed that they share quite similar roles particularly in informing and educating the public about environmental issues and in conducting research on environment and sustainability matters.

The issue of social and professional readaptation of convicts is the subject of research and discussion in the field of social and legal sciences and practice around the world. In Poland, the system of assisting prisoners includes not only the Prison Service and probation officers, but also the Public Employment Services, social welfare institutions, and non-governmental organizations. Helping former convicts and returning them to the paths of social functioning brings benefits that go beyond the individual dimension and pays off not only in the local space, but also in the long term – affecting subsequent generations and shaping their resources and patterns of functioning. The article draws attention to the essence of social and professional reintegration and re-adaptation of people leaving prisons, taking into account the basic goal of institutional and social interactions, which is change. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of the functioning of institutions and non-profit organizations in the world that implement various programs of social and professional reintegration and re-adaptation of people at risk of social exclusion due to their criminal past. The good practices presented in the article may be an inspiration for planning and implementing programs on the basis of Polish post-penitentiary aid.

Persons without a fixed place of residence currently constitute a certain social group, characterized by a constant growing trend, in particular, due to persons released from prison, which increases its social risk, expressed in the potential environment for crimes, social danger, as well as the degradation of an individual as a whole. The activities of state institutions of the social support system for homeless persons are primarily related to the restoration of a person's status in various fields, including in the legal sphere in the form of restoration of lost documents and in the labor sphere — job search. The solution to these problems involves the inclusion in social support of non-governmental organizations that have low requirements for the status of homeless people and assume work on their «territory», which implies the complete absence of any barriers. In this regard, it is necessary to develop intersectoral interaction between the state and the non-profit sector in the system of social support for people without a fixed place of residence.

A combined version of the structure of sub-accounts of targeted funding and targeted rev-enues of public associations is proposed, which provides for the opening of analytical accounts of the second and third orders in terms of individual projects and budget items. Typical operations for public associations that determine the specifics of their accounting are: accrual and payment of membership fees, receipt of property from various sources, settlement with contractors in the implementation of individual projects, calculation of exchange rates, recognition of income and expenses.Keywords: accounting, public association, public organization, public union, targeted funding.
