Summary/Abstract: Purpose: presentation of theoretical models of relations between the statutory auditor and internal auditors in Polish entities and conditions for improving the cooperation between them. The study attempts to organize theoretical issues related to the improvement of the relations and cooperation between the statutory auditor and the internal auditors in the studied units. Based on research conducted in public finance and financial sector entities, four theoretical models of relations between the statutory auditor and internal auditors are described, and conclusions about the practice of using these models in entities are presented. The original list of control questions is also presented in the article. These questions take into account the new guidelines of the International Auditing Standards in the context of many of the requirements that result from the application of the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditors. The article sets out conditions to improve cooperation between the two auditor groups. Methodology: preparing the paper involved a review of literature, current law and regulations, and a critical analysis of internal documents and surveys carried out in the studied public finance sector units and public interest entities.
