This study aims to analyze the impact of digital innovation on financial management in Purbalingga Regency, focusing on two main systems: the Regional Government Information System (SIPD) and the Village Financial System (SISKEUDES). Digital innovation is considered important to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public financial management (Lips, 2020; Agostino, Bracci, & Steccolini, 2022). The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study supported by in-depth interviews with application users and previous research (Daffa, 2024; Nadaa & Priyanti, 2023). The findings show that the use of SIPD and SISKEUDES has successfully increased transparency and efficiency in financial reporting in Purbalingga through data integration and public access to information. However, technical issues, limited human resources, and lack of inter-agency cooperation remain obstacles. Efforts by the local government, such as routine training, system updates, and digital literacy improvement, have strengthened digital-based financial governance. Overall, this study shows that the success of digital innovation in public financial management is influenced not only by technology but also by institutional readiness, a culture of transparency, and community involvement in overseeing regional financial management.

Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) function as important economic institutions that contribute to enhancing the welfare and independence of rural communities. BUMDes Maju Rahayu, as one of the rapidly developing BUMDes, requires a reliable and effective accounting information system to support transparent and accountable financial management. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the accounting information system at BUMDes Maju Rahayu using a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with BUMDes managers and direct observation of financial recording and reporting processes. The findings reveal that the existing accounting system still faces several challenges, including incomplete documentation, limited internal control, and dependence on manual bookkeeping. These issues hinder the accuracy and timeliness of financial information. The study recommends capacity-building for human resources, adoption of technology-based accounting systems, and strengthening of internal control procedures to improve financial management quality and organizational performance in BUMDes operations.

The availability of information and easy access to information related to the village can provide opportunities for outsiders to get to know Bergas village, thus opening up opportunities for creating collaboration between the village and outside parties. One effort that can be made to provide access to information about villages is by digitalizing villages. Village digitalization is a priority program for the Ministry of Villages in 2021.

Case Study of Bergas Village, Semarang Regency, Central Java Province. This research produced findings. Creating a digital village itself has several conditions that must be met. Digital villages require the availability of adequate information and communication networks, whereas digital villages must have good communication networks because this is a factor that is used to use online-based systems. Second, to create a digital village, quite large funding is needed. Currently, digital villages are the result of collaboration between regional governments and the central government through the Communications and Information Telecommunication and Information Accessibility Agency (BAKTI) and other parties. Third, the availability of human resources (HR) who manage various online information technology-based services. The implementation of a digital village has a broad nature and concerns the interests of society, so it must be implemented in an integrated and directed manner by the government, business entities, and the community. The community has a very large role in implementing the undertaking of digital villages to realize equal distribution of welfare with the support of providing telecommunications and information infrastructure in the form of public services.

MSMEs are the most important pillars in the Indonesian economy. The most famous copper craft center in Indonesia is Tumang Village, Cepogo, Boyolali, Central Java. It is called a craft center because of the local residents, some of whom are copper craftsmen. The problems that occur are the limited information technology and the ability to access technology and information from outside, as well as management that has not been implemented properly that can support the craftsman development program, both from the point of view of the professionalism of its human resources as well as in terms of product development, craft design equipment and management. In addition, sales systems and data processing are still carried out conventionally, resulting in limited marketing opportunities and transaction processing. The lack of literacy of SMEs towards information technology is the cause. Only about 25% of all business actors in Tumang have utilized technology for marketing and financial management. The implementation of this Community Service is intended to provide socialization and training as well as assistance to improve skills and knowledge for craftsmen to market their products on a global scale and provide electronic sales applications for craftsmen so that customers can get information quickly, and can make online shopping transactions. As well as a digital accounting information system that will increasingly provide convenience in creating accountable, transparent, and secure financial reports. This PKM activity was carried out by the Community Service Team (PKM) from the Management Economics Study Program at the Islamic University of Batik Surakarta through the 2021 Matching Fund grant. The PKM activity was aimed at brass and copper metal craftsmen in Tumang, Cepogo Boyolali. The methods used are socialization, training, and mentoring.
