Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are business activities that have an important role in expanding employment opportunities and providing broad economic services for the community. However, the obstacles faced by MSMEs are the lack of ability and understanding due to low education and the assumption that the implementation of financial report recording is difficult. Therefore, this study is very interesting because it aims to test the application of SAK EMKM in the preparation of financial statements, especially regarding the application of SAK EMKM in the preparation of financial statements understood by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This study uses descriptive research with qualitative methods. The data collection used was interviews, observations, and documentation. Based on the findings of the research discussion, it can be concluded that Batik Lea Collection MSMEs have not implemented SAK EMKM in the preparation of their financial statements. This is mainly due to the owner's limited knowledge and understanding of accounting and financial reporting standards. Although the owners know about the existence of SAK EMKM, they lack knowledge about its implementation. Evidence from direct observation and documentation shows that Batik Lea Collection MSMEs only record cash inflows and outflows. Owners create bookkeeping reports that can only be understood by themselves

Women entrepreneurship in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) plays a vital role in the local economy. However, women entrepreneurs often face complex emotional and psychological challenges due to their dual roles as housewives and entrepreneurs. Market uncertainty, social pressure, and lack of support from their environment further burden their workload. This study aims to explore the subjective experiences of women micro MSMEs, particularly in dealing with the psychological pressures of carrying out these roles. The research method used is a qualitative phenomenological approach with seven informants from the culinary, handicraft, and online trading sectors. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation, then analyzed using a thematic approach based on the Miles & Huberman model. The results of the study revealed four main themes: (1) the pressure of dual roles that often trigger stress and emotional exhaustion (burnout), (2) chronic anxiety related to fear of business failure and income instability, (3) spirituality and religious activities as meaning-based coping mechanisms, and (4) the importance of social support from partners, family, and community as a balance of emotional conditions. These findings confirm that the success and sustainability of women's businesses depend not only on economic capital or technical skills, but are also significantly influenced by mental health and the strength of social networks. Therefore, empowerment programs for women's MSMEs need to be designed holistically, encompassing psychosocial aspects, coping strategy training, and strengthening supportive and inclusive social networks.

In this study, researchers used a qualitative approach with the case study method. The data used is primary data obtained from direct interviews with business owners.

Thus, the results of this study indicate the need for further education and socialization efforts to partnership owners regarding the importance of applying SAK EMKM in preparing financial reports. With adequate knowledge and understanding, it is hoped that Cipadas Coffee and Chill will be able to prepare financial reports in accordance with applicable accounting standards, thereby increasing transparency and financial accountability.

This research is expected to contribute to the preparation of digital marketing strategies for MSMEs in the digital era.
