Action taken by counties in this area can be considered as insufficient. Despite the declarations of complex administrative structures responsible for the supervision, counties do not have the knowledge not only about the management processes used in the subordinate entities, but also the state of their finances. What counties call a supervision is to a large extent a control – sampling and formal. Information gap between the supervisor and the supervised is so large, that significantly affect the ability of supervision by the counties on the subordinated entities.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Public Governance}, author={Kautsch, Marcin}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={63–76} }
