In particular, the method of account of fuel and energy resources is utillized in practical activity VAT „NPK is Galichina” (i. Drogobich, certificate from 04.06.2007 № 13-14-141), the method of taking of inventory of production supplies is utillized in practical activity the company „Kherson oil-processing factory” certificate from 22.01.2008 № 1-10).Separate theoretical positions, викладені in dissertation work, utillize in the educational process of the Ternopilskyi state technical university the of I.
