Summary The aim of this article is to present the essence and significance of information and communication in public administration in the context of the management control. Broadly understood information in public administration allows both to control the activity of this administration and to make correct decisions and actions in order to perform public tasks effectively. Therefore, the existence of a proper system for sharing and exchanging information is an essential component of the management control, ensuring the execution of the tasks and objectives in a way that is consistent with the law, effective, efficient and timely. The article points to i.a. the types of information and means of communication that may be deemed effective or legally acceptable tools for conveying information and communicating in public information. In this context it should be emphasised that - in particular - sharing public information requires that a relevant form be retained and a proper sharing procedure be followed.

The regulations on debt limits introduced in 2014 caused adapting by local government units two ways of proceeding. The first consists in "classic" adaptation to the provisions of the Public Finance Act, through the restructuring of budget expenditures and the devel-opment of a financial surplus, allowing for safe incurring of new obligations and possible servicing of "old" debt. The second way is what can be called the form of the "Creative accounting", involving the use of non-bank financial institutions (quasi-banks) or the use of financial operations other than bank loans and municipal bond issues. These are lease-back agreements, reverse sale of real estate, as well as unnamed agreements causing debt restructuring (e.g. subrogation, forfeiting or factoring), installment payments, as well as subsidies to the capital of municipal companies.

Local government in Poland functions as an independent entity in the public finance sector. It performs tasks (most often taking the form of public services) for its residents on its own responsibility. For this purpose, this unit is obliged to organize financial guarantee the implementation of both (own and commissioned tasks in the field of public administration). While in the second case, as a rule, can count on support in the form of targeted subsidies from the central budget, local government should secure own tasks independently. This means that local governments have the possibility (in the aspect specified by legal acts) for financial independence in terms of organizing and collecting budget revenues.

The article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of the functioning of public finances. In Ukraine, public finances account for more than 40% of gross domestic product. Public finances provide funding for state functions, including territorial integrity, law and order, health care, education funding, pensions, social protection, infrastructure development, environmental protection, and more. The formation of an effective system of public finance has become one of the key tasks of the current stage of development of the Ukrainian economy. Its solution requires the creation of a holistic concept of formation, development and improvement of the public finance system of Ukraine. In the domestic economic literature in the study of the problems of state finance, its revenues and expenditures, the phrase “state finance” was common. The term “public finance” is considered by experts to be a relatively young category of Ukrainian science, the active application of which began with the implementation of public administration reform. The purpose of the article is to clarify the nature and composition of public finances as a necessary resource for the functioning of the state, local governments, public needs of society. The article analyzes the definitions of “public finance”. It is concluded that Ukrainian economists have not yet agreed on the essence and components of the public finance system. The author presents arguments in favor of an expanded interpretation of this category, proposed his own definition of public finance. It is proposed to include the budget system, extra-budgetary trust funds, and finances of state and communal enterprises, financial and non-financial public corporations, enterprises within the framework of public-private partnership to public finances. Such an expanded interpretation of the structure of public finances will clarify the mechanism of their management, develop a system of incentives, forms of influence and control, and in particular by drawing more attention to the activities of state and municipal enterprises, develop clear criteria for quantitative parameters of public sector enterprises and their financial indicators.
