This article aims to assess the level of operating surplus as an indicator determining the financial stability of local governments, and to show the amount of financial expenses that prove the investment potential of the government entity. The following methods were used: literature analysis, analysis of budget indicators (income and current expenses, financial expenditure, operating result) and methods of descriptive statistics. The analysis adopted financial data of all types of local government units in Poland: 16 voivodships, 314 poviats and 2478 communes for the years 2014-2017. The conducted analysis allowed for a positive verification of the hypothesis, according to which the operating surplus determines both the level of financial stability and the level of local government units’ investment potential.
The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of production factors on farms of the Visegrad Group countries. The research covered farms participating in the European system for collecting accounting data from FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) farms. Under the main objective, an assessment was made of the productivity and profitability of land, labour and capital. The research period covered the years 2014-2017. Based on the analyses that was conducted, it was found that the most effective use of land resources was on farms in Hungary and Poland, and the least effective in Slovakia. Considering labour and capital productivity, the highest results were achieved by farms in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, while the lowest by Polish farms. On the other hand, Hungarian farms were characterized by the highest profitability of labour and return on assets, where the analysed indicators were higher than the EU average.
The aim of the study was to determine the level of financial independence of 81 small communes of Poland’s Lubelskie Voivodship (up to 5,000 inhabitants per commune) and to assess its significance for their financial stability. The following methods were used: literature analysis, ratio analysis and diagnostic survey.

It was established that in the opinion of these leaders, income potential and financial independence are important factors affecting the financial stability of small communes, and their low level poses a threat to this stability. Three ratios were used to assess financial independence. The analyses showed that small communes were characterized by a low level of income independence and a high dependence on revenues transferred from the state budget, which is evident in the value of the expenditure independence ratio achieved.
