In turn, the modified verision of iosik model was used to assess the impact of REM practices on the frequency of large losses in tested sample. Results of the research: The obtained results show that the REM implemented by means of overproduction, granting above-average rebates and a liberal approach in the field of trade credits may be considered an important path of intentional deepening of the net loss in public industrial companies.
