Checks and Balances in the Budget Procedure in Poland
The article presents the checks and balances in the budget procedure in Poland. In the first place, the article explains the term checks and balances. Next the article discusses the constitutional regulation of the budget procedure and the public authorities that participate in this procedure. These considerations allow to distinguish “budget checks and balances” and describe them from the point of view of the relationship between the public authorities participating in the budget procedure. The article also presents the legal nature of the state budget and the legal norms contained therein, the differences between the state budget and the Budget Act and the issue of the draft budget versus the principle of discontinuation of works of the parliament.
