AUDIT BODIES AND AUDIT SYSTEMS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM FINANCING (Organy i systemy kontroli przeciwdzialajace finansowaniu terroryzmu)

Combating symptoms of financial support for terrorism, as well as cutting off resources of terrorist organisations are those methods of fighting terrorism financing which are more and more frequently used. In the Polish legal system, these issues are regulated in the Act on Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing. A special role has been assigned to direct and indirect control, which is regarded as an effective preventive measure. The article is dedicated to an analysis of the provisions of this act that regulate the status and mandate of bodies established to exercise control in the field. It also describes procedures that are meant to allow for discovering cases of financial support for terrorism.
