Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMNeg) in Makariki possess regional economic potential. However, business managers face cash flow recording obstacles. They have not implemented standard bookkeeping. This community service aims to provide training and mentoring in financial document preparation using the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities framework. The implementation method consists of preparation, execution, and evaluation stages. The execution stage includes initial testing, material presentation, interactive discussion, and final testing.

This community service activity aims to enhance the capacity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in preparing financial statements based on the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM) through the digitalization of financial recording in UMKM Pasadana. The main problems faced by the partners include low accounting literacy, unstructured and simple financial recording practices, and the limited utilization of digital technology in financial management. The implementation method adopts a participatory approach consisting of several stages, namely socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The training focuses on understanding the basic concepts of SAK EMKM and the practical use of simple and applicable digital financial recording applications. Mentoring is conducted directly to ensure that MSME actors are able to implement financial recording independently and sustainably. The results of the activity indicate an improvement in the knowledge and skills of MSME actors in conducting systematic financial recording in accordance with SAK EMKM principles. In addition, MSME actors begin to adopt digital technology in recording transactions, which improves efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of financial statements. This activity also encourages a shift in mindset, where financial recording is no longer viewed as merely administrative, but as a basis for business decision-making. Thus, this community service activity provides a practical contribution to improving the quality of MSME financial management through the integration of accounting literacy and sustainable digital technology utilization.

This study aims to analyze the effect of education level on the quality of financial statements based on SAK EMKM, with accounting information systems as a moderating variable, focusing on coffee shop micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Kediri City, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 32 business owners or financial managers selected by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS software.The results indicate that education level has a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial statements, suggesting that higher educational attainment enhances accounting understanding and compliance with SAK EMKM. However, accounting information systems were found to weaken this relationship, indicating that system complexity, limited digital literacy, and insufficient technical training may reduce the effectiveness of education in improving financial reporting quality. These findings highlight that improving financial reporting quality among MSMEs requires not only higher educational capacity but also appropriate technological support and continuous technical assistance. This study contributes to the accounting literature by emphasizing the contextual role of accounting information systems in shaping the relationship between human capital and financial reporting quality in MSMEs.

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.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in driving Indonesia's economic growth, but still face limitations in systematic financial management. The use of digital accounting applications is one solution to improve the quality of MSME financial recording and reporting.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economy. However, most business actors have not fully implemented proper inventory accounting in accordance with standards. This study aims to analyze the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of raw material inventories at Pabrik Super Jaya and evaluate their compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with primary data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that inventory recognition is still manual, using notebooks without formal evidence. Measurement is based on raw material costs, labor, and daily expenses, without formal methods such as FIFO or average. Financial reporting is limited to a simple income statement without detailed inventory or notes to financial statements. Disclosure is limited to physical quantities and nominal values. Thus, Pabrik Super Jaya’s inventory practices are not fully aligned with SAK EMKM standards

The purpose of this community service activity is to improve the capabilities of micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) entrepreneurs in the field of preparing financial statements according to tax regulations and preparing annual tax returns (SPT). The goal is to provide useful knowledge for MSME entrepreneurs to better manage their financial administration in accordance with applicable tax regulations.

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.

This research aimed to examine the presentation of financial statements at the Angkringan Lestari food stall and to evaluate the preparation of financial statements based on Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities for MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) operating at Angkringan Lestari. This research used a qualitative approach using the Miles and Huberman analysis method, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the financial recording system applied by the Angkringan Lestari MSME was very simple, limited to recording expenses, income, and debts. Consequently, the MSME faced challenges in preparing its financial statements, including the owner's limited understanding of Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities and the absence of dedicated staff responsible for financial statement preparation.

This study aimed to analyze the enhancement of the competitiveness of the MSME Magewair Production through the optimization of financial statement preparation. As one of the key pillars of Indonesia’s economy, MSMEs often face challenges in financial management, particulary in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting standards. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach, where data were collected through in-dept interviews with the management of Magewair Production and the analysis of existing financial statement documents. The results indicate that although Magewair Production has routinely carried out financial recording, the reports produced remain simple and have not complied with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). The main constraints include a lack of accounting knowledge, limited technology, and insufficient training. Optimizing financial statement preparation can improve operational efficiency, access to funding, business growth, and the reputation and trust of stakeholders. This study recommends SAK EMKM training, the utilization of simple accounting technology, and guidance from government or academics to assist MSMEs such as Magewair Production in preparing better financial statements, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the market.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have an important contribution in supporting the national economy, especially in terms of job creation and strengthening the local economy. However, most MSMEs still face challenges in compiling financial statements that are in accordance with applicable accounting standards. This study aims to analyze the extent to which the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK-EMKM) has been implemented by MSME actors, as well as identify the obstacles faced in the process. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive, with data collection techniques through interviews, direct observation, and document review. The findings of the study show that the level of understanding of MSME actors towards SAK-EMKM is still low, and the implementation of these standards is not evenly distributed. The main causative factors include limited accounting knowledge, lack of professional assistance, and lack of access to technical training. In addition, most MSMEs still rely on manual recording without referring to correct accounting principles, making it difficult in the audit process or applying for loans to financial institutions. Another obstacle is the lack of digital literacy in financial management, as well as the assumption that the preparation of financial statements is not a top priority. In fact, well-structured financial statements can be an important tool in business decision-making and open access to funding. This study recommends the importance of collaboration between the government, academics, and financial institutions to provide training, mentoring, and a simple reporting system that is in accordance with the characteristics of MSMEs. This effort is expected to increase the awareness and ability of MSMEs to manage finances in an accountable and transparent manner, as well as support business growth and sustainability in the long term.

This community service activity aims to improve the financial literacy of MSMEs in Giling Village, Pabelan District, Semarang Regency, through training on preparing simple financial reports. The training was conducted over one day and attended by 20 MSMEs from various business sectors, such as culinary, handicrafts, and trade. The methods used in this training included socialization of basic accounting materials tailored to the level of understanding of the participants, as well as hands-on practice in preparing financial reports, such as profit and loss statements and balance sheets. The material was presented in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, so that participants could immediately apply it to their businesses. Evaluation was carried out by observing the process of preparing financial reports by participants, using the provided practice sheets, and a feedback questionnaire that measured the extent of participants' understanding and changes in attitudes. The results of this activity showed that most participants were able to understand basic accounting concepts and were able to prepare simple financial reports quite well. This was also followed by an increase in participants' awareness of the importance of neat and orderly recording of daily transactions in running a business. Furthermore, this training succeeded in motivating participants to apply what they had learned in their respective businesses independently. Although this activity was short-lived, it had a very positive impact in building a strong foundation for more orderly and transparent financial governance among MSMEs. Therefore, it is recommended that follow-up training and regular mentoring be conducted to ensure the skills acquired can be applied sustainably and improve the ability of MSMEs to manage their finances professionally. Furthermore, this activity also provided a deeper understanding of the importance of sound financial planning for those wanting to start a business.

Financial reports are an important tool for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in measuring their performance and financial health. This study aims to design a simple financial reporting system that can be implemented by Big Bites, a culinary business located in Bekasi City. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with stages of observation, interviews, and documentation during a three-month internship (October–December 2024). The results of the study indicate that before the design, Big Bites did not have a good financial recording system and still relied on manual records. Through the design of Microsoft Excel-based financial reports that include a general journal, ledger, trial balance, income statement, statement of changes in equity, and balance sheet, MSMEs can understand their financial condition more clearly and accurately. The implementation of this system is expected to assist MSMEs in business decision-making, financial planning, and increasing business credibility.

Accurate financial record-keeping is essential for MSMEs, yet many still rely on manual methods. Arsi Dekorasi, for example, had not produced formal financial reports such as income statements or cash flow reports. Digital transformation through accounting applications offers a solution to improve the efficiency and accuracy of financial records. This study aims to explore how the implementation of the Akuntansiku application enhances financial recording efficiency at Arsi Dekorasi. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the Diffusion of Innovation framework. The findings reveal that prior to using the application, records were manually kept and incomplete. After adopting Akuntansiku, financial recording became more efficient, accurate, and capable of generating automatic reports. Initial technology-related challenges were resolved through mentoring. The digital transformation proved to positively impact both the efficiency and quality of financial records. The study highlights the crucial role of management in sustaining and developing financial digitalization through continuous training and capacity building.

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  

This study investigated the influence of financial report preparation skills, financial literacy, and accounting information systems on the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Cirebon Regency. The research adopted a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. Data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires distributed to 100 culinary-sector MSMEs selected using purposive sampling. The data analysis involved validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that financial report preparation skills, financial literacy, and accounting information systems had both partial and simultaneous positive effects on MSME performance. Specifically, the ability to prepare financial statements and the use of accounting systems significantly enhanced operational efficiency and financial outcomes, while financial literacy contributed to better financial decision-making. The study concluded that improving financial competencies and adopting technology-based accounting practices are key drivers for strengthening MSME performance in the region
