The increased intensification of internal control in banks caused by the growing number of the regulations has become a contribution to the creation of this elaboration.

To this end, the method of critical literature review was used, allowing to verify the research hypothesis. Literature items in the field of economics (also in English) and regulations applicable in the Polish and European legislation provided the main source of research material.
