Annotation: The article raises the issue of creating an appropriate valuation methodology for the organization’s buyers in order to formulate a credit policy. Nowadays, the practice of granting trade credit has become widespread in order to attract buyers and increase sales.

For the acceleration and convenience of assessing the solvency of the organization, it is proposed to use automated technology using a computer program. The article provides recommendations for further improvement of customer assessment methods. Further research and development of normative values and ranges of deviation of financial indicators, taking into account the specifics of the industry, is proposed. It is also recommended to formalize the qualitative assessment indicators and develop a methodology for their further application.

Annotation: The state regulation of tariffs is effected in the water supply industry. Its goal is in equal measure ensure the interests of consumers (quality and price) and the development of the industry. Statistical data from 2010 to 2018 indicate that goals have not been achieved: there is no significant improvement in the technical condition of the water supply network, the annual share of replaced water supply networks in their total volume in Russia is 1.1 % (the recommended standard is 4 %), and the net loss of water supply companies is 11.75 billion rubles. First of all, this situation is determined by the used regulation methods. In the same time the health and well-being of about 120 million Russian people directly depends on the stable functioning of the water supply sector.

In particular, the article defines the need to amend the regulations and the composition of the disclosed indicators, the use of the FSIS EIAS system as a platform for disclosure.
