The Regional Chamber of Auditors in Łódź conducted in October 2025 ad hoc control of the financial economy of the city of Piotrków Trybunalski in the field of municipal property management, focusing on the activities of the Sports and Recreation Centre.
In a follow-up speech of 15 December 2025, the RIO identified a number of irregularities resulting from the infringement and the deficiency of effective management control.
This is the second RIO study in fresh years, which shows shortcomings in the functioning of urban units (read: > ‘Peters. More about the RIO study and its consequences”).
The most serious deficiencies concern the conclusion of contracts without the required approval of the chief accountant, although this is provided for both by the OSiR regulations and the power of lawyer given by the city president. no of the controlled contracts had specified a signature.
The RIO besides challenged the method of making the Relax Hall available free of charge to StrikeKing from Krakow for a combat athletics gala in October 2024. The contract does not impose on the company the work to cover the costs of the media, although this is straight attributable to the civilian Code. Moreover, the president agreed to usage the facility free of charge for 16 hours on 1 day, while in practice the hall was made available for 34 hours in 3 days. According to the calculations of OSiR controllers should charge at least PLN 2.250 for the exceeded time.
Further reservations concern the deficiency of interest for late payment for rent of the hall and non-execution of contractual provisions. In 1 case, the tenant paid after the deadline, which under the agreement should consequence in its expiry. Nevertheless, the organization was held without any consequences.
RIO called President Piotrków Trybunalski to analyse and strengthen management control procedures at city level in order to guarantee appropriate management of municipal assets and to respect the decisions of the executive body. The city received 30 days to inform the home of the way in which control applications were implemented or the reasons for their failure.
The Court of Justice asked the city office: what business activities were undertaken by the management body towards the management of the OSiR in relation to the irregularities detected, including the harm to the entity?
The answer was given by Monika Jarzębska, head of the Center for Contacts with Residents:
Action was taken to analyse the functioning management control procedures at level II. In the Sports and Recreation Centre in Piotrków Trybunalski, in the second half of 2025, the interior Auditor carried out an advisory task entitled “Provisional support of OSiR for planned organisational changes”. Changes to the interior regulations of the Centre are presently being prepared, which will be updated on an ongoing basis, as required and in the current legislation. The management of the OSiR followed the conclusions of the post-audit Regional Audit Chamber and was required to comply with the applicable law, with peculiar respect to the principles of appropriate management of the City's property, dedicated to the OSiR on a permanent board.
The city does not indicate any sanctions against the management of OSiR, focusing solely on procedural changes and audit advice. In practice, this means that the work for identified weaknesses remains formally unenforced, and actions are limited to improving control mechanisms, without individual consequences.
