Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economy, especially in Bantul Regency, where they significantly contribute to the Gross Regional Product(GRDP) and job creation. Despite a rise in MSMEs numbers from 2021 to 2024, their long-term viability is hindered by issues like insufficient funding, inadequate accounting skills, and underutilization of e-commerce platforms. This research investigates how businesses, accounting knowledge, and e-commerce adoption impact MSME sustainability in Bantul Regency. Employing a quantitative method, it collected primary data via questionnaires from 100 MSME operators selected through purposive sampling. Analysis involved multiple linear regression. Findings indicated that business capital had no significant influence on sustainability, while accounting knowledge and e-commerce use positively and significantly boosted it. The R2 value of 29% show that these factors collectively explain 29% of MSME sustainability variance, with the remaining 71% attributed to external variables. The study highlights the need to enchane accounting education and digital tools to boost MSME competitiveness and resilience.

This study presents a meta-analysis of open-access accounting information systems (AIS) literature in Indonesia during the digital transition period of 2015-2025. The primary objective is to identify and map the taxonomy of Independent Variables (X) and Dependent Variables (Y) predominantly used in academic and practical research. Through a systematic review of 15 key accredited articles with Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), this research finds that AIS success determinants (Variable X) have evolved from purely technical factors to integrative clusters encompassing Human Capital (competence, training), Organizational (culture, management commitment), and Technological (infrastructure, internal control) aspects. Meanwhile, Dependent Variables (Y) have shifted from mere technical user satisfaction to strategic impacts such as financial report quality, operational efficiency, and MSME business performance. These findings indicate that AIS research in Indonesia is heavily influenced by public sector regulatory contexts and cloud technology adoption in the MSME sector. This report serves as a reference framework for future researchers to explore emerging variables such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity behavior within the accounting ecosystem.

In Indonesia, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have long been recognized as a very important business sector due to their various real roles in the economy. However, MSMEs often face many obstacles in running their businesses. More incentive support from various parties, especially the government, is needed for the development of MSMEs. In order to overcome the problems faced by MSMEs and support their sustainability, a KKU (Business Field Study) activity was carried out by Group 15 at the KKU-11 of the Institute of Technology and Business (ITB) Adias Pemalang at the MSME “Ev_Kids Product.”After conducting an observation phase, several problems faced by the SME were identified, including the lack of social media for marketing, failure to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and maintain simple accounting records, absence of a business logo, banners, promotional image designs, organizational structure, business profile, product catalog, stamps, receipt books, and product attributes. Additionally, the SME had never produced a production video or promotional video.After conducting the observation phase, KKU actors formulated several business development assistance programs, namely creating social media accounts, calculating the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), creating simple bookkeeping, creating a business logo, banners, promotional image designs, organizational structure, business profile, product catalog, stamps, note books, and product attributes in the form of hangtags. They also created production videos and promotional videos.

This study was conducted to analyze the implementation of financial management and accounting practices at a Coffee Shop in South Jakarta operating within the MSME sector, with a focus on the importance of structured financial management and the application of standardized accounting as a fundamental element in supporting business sustainability. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, direct observations, and document review. The findings indicate that the Coffee Shop has applied a cash-based recording system and utilizes a simple point of sales (POS) application to monitor cash flow and sales transactions. However, the recording of fixed assets, depreciation calculations, and the recognition of liabilities have not fully complied with the guidelines of FAS MSMEs, resulting in financial information that remains limited, lacks transparency, and does not provide a comprehensive overview of the business’s financial condition. Therefore, this study highlights the need to improve human resource capabilities in accounting and to implement simple yet credible accounting software to support more accurate, efficient, and accountable financial reporting. With more professional financial management, business owners will be better equipped to make strategic decisions, strengthen stakeholder trust, and enhance the competitiveness and long-term sustainability of the Coffee Shop.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle in the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Kedai Kita, which still relies on a simple financial recording system. The principle emphasizes the importance of separating personal and business finances to ensure that financial statements accurately and objectively reflect the entity's economic condition. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through direct interviews with the business owner to gain an in-depth understanding of the financial management practices implemented. The findings indicate that the application of the Economic Entity Principle at Kedai Kita has not been fully realized, as evidenced by the ongoing mixing of personal and business funds, the absence of a formal bookkeeping system, and inconsistent recording of cash flows and expenditures. The main factors hindering the implementation of this principle include limited accounting literacy, lack of time for bookkeeping, and the absence of a structured accounting system. Nevertheless, the business owner has begun to recognize the importance of separating finances as a foundation for more accountable business management. These findings imply the need for the adoption of simple recording applications, the provision of basic accounting training, and increased understanding among MSME actors regarding the benefits of structured financial statements. This study provides practical contributions for other MSMEs by demonstrating that the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle is a fundamental step in enhancing financial transparency and accountability, as well as strengthening opportunities for access to formal financing.

This study aims to assess the quality of financial reporting at the Arda Jaya Diesel car repair shop on Jalan Dg Hayo Antang 3. The data used are numerical data or quantitative methods. The study was conducted by collecting data from the repair shop's financial reports, such as revenue, expenses, debt, inventory, and fixed assets. The assessment was carried out by examining whether the repair shop has followed accounting principles, how to record transactions, and whether the profit and loss statements and balance sheets are accurate and reliable. The method used is a case study supported by interviews and direct observations at the repair shop. The results show that many repair shops still record their finances simply and do not follow proper accounting standards. Therefore, financial reports need to be improved to assist business decision-making and meet the reporting needs of external parties such as creditors and investors.

This study aims to synergize the importance of simple accounting records for MSMEs with Q.S. al-Baqarah verse 282. Where many MSMEs do not implement accounting records even though they are simple. If MSMEs implement this, it can help business sustainability. Allah SWT has commanded business people to record transactions in Q.S. al-Baqarah verse 282. This study uses a qualitative method. The results of the study show that Surah Al-Baqarah verse 282 provides practical and moral guidance that is very relevant to the needs of accounting records in MSMEs. The principles of honesty, accuracy, and justice in this verse are in line with accounting practices that aim to create effective, professional, and sustainable financial management. By implementing these values, MSMEs can face modern business challenges with a strong foundation and oriented towards business sustainability and social harmony. In addition, the application of Qur’anic values can enhance business partners’ trust and improve transparency in transactional relationships. This study recommends that MSMEs strengthen Islamic value-based accounting education to create more trustworthy and competitive financial governance.

Digital transformation in the field of information technology requires Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to improve the quality of financial management to be able to compete sustainably. One effort that can be done is through the implementation of the Financial Management Information System (MISK). This study aims to analyze the implementation of MISK in MSMEs, examine the benefits obtained, and identify obstacles faced in the implementation process. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The object of the study is the culinary MSME "Dapur Lestari Jambi" which has implemented a digital financial recording application and Point of Sale (POS) system. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of MISK can increase the accuracy of transaction recording, accelerate the preparation of financial reports, improve cash flow management, and support data-based managerial decision-making. However, the implementation of MISK still faces several obstacles, especially related to limited human resource competency, consistency of recording, and adaptation to technology. This study concludes that the Financial Management Information System has a strategic role in increasing the efficiency, transparency, and professionalism of MSME financial management, and is an important factor in supporting business sustainability in the digital era.  

This community service activity aims to assist the Ibu Jum Tempe Home Industry MSME in Bandar Lampung in implementing the process costing method as a more accurate, measurable, and efficient production cost calculation system. To date, MSMEs still use simple cost recording without a clear separation between raw material costs, labor, and factory overhead, so that product selling prices often do not reflect actual production costs. To address this problem, this activity was carried out through several stages, namely interviews to explore MSME needs and problems, production process observations, socialization regarding the importance of cost accounting systems, and direct training in the preparation and implementation of process costing. The results of the activity showed an increase in MSME owners' understanding of cost classification, unit cost calculations, and the preparation of production cost reports. After the process costing method was implemented, MSMEs were able to calculate costs more systematically and consistently, thus being able to determine more appropriate and competitive selling prices. In addition, the implementation of this method also contributed to increased cost management efficiency, transparency of financial information, and the managerial ability of business actors in making more appropriate decisions related to cost planning and control.

This study aims to explain how the implementation of a Financial Management Information System (MISK) can improve decision-making capabilities in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). In the digital era, MSMEs are required to manage their finances quickly, accurately, and in an integrated manner to compete in a dynamic market. The SIMK offers a solution to simplify the process of recording, analyzing, and reporting financial information in real time, enabling business decisions to be based on valid data. Analysis of various studies shows that the implementation of a MISK can improve operational efficiency, financial reporting transparency, and the quality of managerial decisions. However, its effectiveness is greatly influenced by financial literacy, digital readiness, and the ability of human resources to operate the system. Many MSMEs still have not fully utilized technology due to limited capital and accounting knowledge. With training and government policy support, the implementation of a MISK is expected to strengthen the competitiveness of MSMEs, increase productivity, and achieve professional financial governance.

This study aims to analyze the management of short-term debt and its impact on cash flow smoothness in Toko Madura micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Surabaya City. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research was conducted through in-depth interviews and field observations at Toko Madura Barokah located in Pasar Wonokromo. The results show that short-term debt management is characterized by flexibility and trust-based relationships between store owners and suppliers, with payment terms ranging from 10 to 14 days. Debt management is carried out adaptively according to sales fluctuations and cash flow conditions. The average ratio of short-term debt to monthly cash flow is 17.2%, indicating that the debt level remains within a safe and manageable range. However, the financial recording system remains simple and lacks separation between personal and business finances, which may cause inaccuracies in cash control. Overall, short-term debt management contributes positively to cash flow stability through trust and payment discipline. Nevertheless, improving financial literacy and implementing a more structured accounting system are necessary to support sustainable business growth and better financial decision-making.

This study aims to identify and analyze the preparation of financial statements based on the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM) in the Mebel Kerajinan Jepara business. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using primary data obtained directly from business owners. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, observation of accounting records, and documentation of transaction evidence and records used in preparing financial statements. The data were analyzed descriptively to present systematic, factual, and accurate information about the actual accounting practices in the field. The findings reveal that the preparation of financial statements at Mebel Kerajinan Jepara has not yet fully complied with SAK EMKM. The business only keeps simple records of income and expenses in a notebook without producing complete financial statements such as the statement of financial position, income statement, and notes to the financial statements. The main constraints identified are the limited understanding of the business owners regarding the importance of accounting and the absence of human resources with accounting expertise. These findings highlight the need for assistance, training, and capacity building for business owners in the field of accounting to produce standardized financial reports, enhance business credibility, and support decision-making as well as access to financing. Thus, this study is expected to serve as a reference for local governments, educational institutions, and other related parties in providing accounting guidance to micro and small business actors.
