During the last year, an experiment was conducted on the basis of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and the SFS, and now with the STS, on the use of the newest RCO. Applications from 8 producers have been accepted, 6 software products have been tested to date” – said Serhii Verlanov.

On the contrary, it is a chance to streamline the business, show banks a picture of the day, picture of the week, picture of the month, picture of the year without hiring highly qualified or accounting companies or spending extra resources - in order to avoid taking the loans and start to develop the business to earn more, be more efficient and competitive” - emphasized Serhii Verlanov.
