  We consider some aspects of conformal symmetry in a metric-scalar-torsion
system. It is shown that, for some special choice of the action, torsion acts
as a compensating field and the full theory is conformally equivalent to
General Relativity on classical level. Due to the introduction of torsion, this
equivalence can be provided for the positively-defined gravitational and scalar
actions. One-loop divergences arising from the scalar loop are calculated and
both the consequent anomaly and the anomaly-induced effective action are
derived.
