In 1921, the Jews accounted for approximately 10% of the population in Zawiercie district and for some 20% in the town of Zawiercie itself. The regaining of independence by Poland coincided with the establishment of local branches of Jewish political parties in Zawiercie region. A lot of influence was wielded by the Zionists (the centrist Zionist Organization and the right-wing Mizrachi) as well as the conservative Agudas Israel. The full development of the Jews' socio-political life in the region occurred in the late 1920s. That was when many diverse associations came to life. The Great Crisis led to a surge of activity of Zionists parties and associations, including extremist ones. The influence of right-wing Zionist revisionists was rising, but so was that of the leftist Poale Zion, and of Hehalutz and Hashomer Hatzair. In the late 1930s, the prolonged economic crisis caused a decline in the activity, or even the disintegration of some political parties and civic organizations affiliated to them. The popularity of the Zionist Left was rising, but Mizrachi and the Zionist Organization also preserved a lot of their influence. It was only at that time that the socialist Bund began to operate in the region.

The ripples of the Reformation reached the territory which later came to known as the Dabrowa Coal Belt in the middle of the 16th century. Whereas the western part of the Duchy of Siewierz, which belonged to the Bishops of Cracow, remained largely unaffected by the various reformist stirrings, they made a perceptible impact on some of the town- and landowners in the eastern part of the Duchy, which was part of the Voivodeship of Cracow. The next wave of Protestantism came to Dabrowa with migrants in the first half of the 19th century: many of the skilled workers attracted to the region by its rapidly developing industry were Protestants from Upper Silesia and Saxony. Their numbers kept rising in the second half of the 19th century in line with the industrial expansion. This article analyzes the key characteristics of the newly-formed Protestant community of the Dabrowa Górnicza region, ie. its spatial distribution, material status, denominational break-down, as well as the initiatives to set up their own places of worship.

Until recently, in ministries there were over 160 regulations of various types related to auditing, while some of other offices did not have any regulations whatever in the field. It was therefore necessary to introduce urgently some systemic changes that would strengthen the audit function in the government administration. The Act on auditing in the government administration, in force since 1 January 2012, does not repeal all detailed procedures binding so far, still it introduces unified standards for audit proceedings. The new Act clearly states their criteria and stages, the rights of the parties, a list of evidence and manners of audit documenting. Moreover, one document has been introduced to replace the audit protocol and the post-audit statement. This marks the beginning of a new stage in the functioning of institutional auditing in the government administration. On the basis of the Act, audit standards have been also developed, which comprise fundamental requirements as for managing, performing and ensuring audit quality. They are also meant to provide the basis for evaluating the quality of audit units in the government administration. At the same time, works on developing and implementing a system for specialist training have been started in the area of human resources management, to satisfy the needs of the audit staff. They are aimed at increasing the quality of the staff, so that to make the results of their work reliable and, consequently, to provide the basis for the heads of ministries and offices to take up managerial decisions and to improve the functioning of the government administration. The authors describe the provisions of the Act, and the activities of the Office of the Prime Minister that led to the development and adoption of the Act, and those related to its implementation.
