Summary/Abstract: Statutory provisions regulating the functioning of local government do not include a prohibition regarding assuming the function of a member of an audit committee by a person married to a person holding the function of a head of commune, mayor, starost (head of a district board) or marshal of a voivodeship. Main regulations concerning counteracting conflicts of interest in a local government unit concern the prohibition of combining public functions, restrictions on taking up economic or commercial activities outside the sphere of public administration and exclusion of a councillor from voting, if a vote concerns his legal interest.
