Electronic document and electronic signature in control proceedings

<ns3:p>The issues raised in the article focus on the possibility of using in control proceedings carried out on the Act of 15 July 2011 on control in government administration and the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 19 January 2023 on control of defense tasks, digital instruments such as electronic documents and electronic signatures.In the authors opinion, in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the control procedure, the possibility of using the indicated digital instruments is not only advisable, but even necessary.The authors draws attention to the fact that the use of digital instruments in public administration, although common, is marginal in the case of control proceedings. In their opinion, this is largely due to the lack of appropriate regulations in particular legal acts relating to the methodology of control taking place in public administration.</ns3:p>
