Komisje skarbowe jako organy kontroli – Kiedy powstała kontrola państwowa w Polsce?

That is why we have recently celebrated the 200th anniversary of the existence of state auditing in our country. However, if we take a closer look at the history, doubts arise as for the correctness of this landmark. Did state auditing not really exist before that?
