The Constitutionally Determined Scope of Jurisdiction of Regional Chambers of Auditors over Participatory Budget Resolutions

The relevance of the constitutional category of supervision over the activities of local self-governments implies the necessity to study the relatively new institution of public participation, which is the civic budget (synonymously participatory budget). On the scientific ground, it is worth considering whether the legislative changes made in 2018, creating a statutory and – in principle – obligatory status for it, have affected the supervision of legal acts undertaken by authorised bodies of the local self-government within the framework of the civic budget procedure. An important and practically significant research problem is therefore which of the constitutional supervisory bodies is materially competent to undertake supervisory actions over legal acts in the field of participatory budget. Its resolution, based on a dogmatic method, is the main objective of this study.
