Samodzielność finansowa gmin wiejskich województwa lubuskiego

Abstract

The aim of the article was to identify and evaluate the indices used to establish the financial independence of municipalities and formulate judgements in this respect in relation to 40 rural communes in the Lubuskie Voivodeship. The indices were calculated in accordance with the formulas suggested in the literature, based on the data included in the annual financial statements RB-27S, RB-N and RB-PDP, as well as in the Local Data Bank. The study was concluded with a discussion of the results and the submission of proposals that could be the basis for further research into the manner of determining the financial condition of local government units in Poland.(original abstract)
