The conformal anomaly and anomaly-induced effective action are useful and economic ways to describe semiclassical contributions to the action of gravity. We discuss the anomaly in the case of a background formed by metric and scalar fields and formulate the induced action in two standard covariant forms. The analysis of the induced action at low energies reveals a connection to the renormalization group and effective potential. The classification of anomalous terms is extended to the scalar background, and ambiguities in the total derivative terms in the anomaly are considered using Pauli-Villars regularization.
