This study aims to examine the implementation of the Village Financial System (SISKEUDES) information technology by applying the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Daleman Village, Lawu Village, and Baran Village, Sukoharjo Regency. By adopting a qualitative descriptive approach and triangulation methods, the research establishes that internal control mechanisms under the COSO guidelines are being applied productively. Such compliance is demonstrated through the mandatory cross-verification process conducted by the Financial Officer and Village Secretary, supported by the analytical capabilities of the system’s built-in audit trail. From the TAM perspective, village officials show a high level of technology acceptance, since the system is perceived to provide considerable ease of use and significant benefits in improving the efficiency of financial reporting. Nevertheless, several technical challenges remain, particularly server congestion during peak reporting periods. In addition, there is still a limitation in external transparency, as the dissemination of financial information through digital platforms such as village websites has not been optimally socialized to the community. As a result, many residents continue to rely on conventional information channels such as information boards and village meetings. Therefore, although internal accountability has been well established, improvements in digital infrastructure and communication strategies are necessary to strengthen transparency in village financial management

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the key pillars of the rural economy, including in Karangkuten Village. Although they exist in significant numbers and possess considerable economic potential, most rural MSMEs still face various limitations in the marketing aspect, particularly in utilizing rapidly developing digital media. This Community Service Program (KKN) of the Faculty of Economics aims to support the digitalization process of MSMEs through the creation of engaging promotional videos integrated with the official website of Karangkuten Village. The implementation method of this program includes stages of socialization for MSME actors, video recording in six hamlets, a systematic editing process, as well as uploading and handing over the results to the village government. The results of the activity indicate that this program successfully produced MSME promotional video content that is not only engaging and informative but also suitable for publication on the village website as a digital promotional medium. In addition to increasing the visibility and branding of MSMEs, this program also contributes to strengthening the image of Karangkuten Village as a culinary village and a center for innovative creative MSMEs. This program is expected to provide long-term impacts in improving the competitiveness of MSMEs and encouraging sustainable and inclusive rural economic growth.

The Community Service Program (PKM) collaboration organized by LLDikti Wilayah III represents a synergistic initiative among higher education institutions to support village digitalization based on the Smart Village Smart Governance concept. The program involved Universitas Nasional as the lead university, in collaboration with Universitas Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. HAMKA and Institut Transportasi dan Logistik Trisakti as partner institutions, and was implemented in Kademangan Village, Mande District, Cianjur Regency. The activity focused on developing and socializing the Kademangan.net village service website as a digital platform to enhance transparency and efficiency in public services, including access to village information, public complaints, and MSME promotion. The program began with a socialization session at the Village Hall involving village officials and residents, followed by field surveys at the local Posyandu and residents’ homes to identify community needs and preferences regarding digital services. The results indicate that village service digitalization improves accessibility and time efficiency for residents, although assistance is still needed for those less familiar with technology. Overall, this collaborative PKM initiative contributes to strengthening digital-based village governance and serves as a sustainable model of inter-university collaboration in empowering rural communities through information technology.

The development of digital technology affects tourism promotion strategies. Promotion of cultural tourism in remote areas. The Tarung Traditional Village (KA) is one of the trains located in West Sumba district that has cultural heritage and historical value but still cannot be promoted properly due to the lack of digital media. Therefore, the researcher created a website as a medium for promoting cultural tourism destinations for Tangung Train. The system development method applied is the waterfall model with phases of needs analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. Information collections are carried out through literature studies, observations with traditional and community managers, and direct interviews. The process of developing this system must be able to meet the community's information needs related to the profile of customary areas, customary houses, customary ceremonies, photo galleries and tour guides of the Tarong Train. The result of this research is to get promotional media for the Tarung Train in the form of an informative site about the potential of the Tarung Train containing train profiles, traditional houses, traditional ceremonies, photo galleries, and tourist guides. As well as promotion in the form of a website that is able to increase access to information from the general public and also introduce cultural image.

The development of information technology has encouraged improvements in public service quality, including at the village government level. In Sunggal Kanan Village, Sunggal District, Deli Serdang Regency, the process of submitting public complaints and aspirations is still carried out manually, resulting in issues related to documentation, transparency, and follow-up actions. This study aims to design and develop a web-based Village Public Complaint and Aspiration Information System using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. The RAD method was chosen because it emphasizes fast system development through iterative stages involving active user participation, namely Requirements Planning, User Design, Construction, and Cutover. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and literature studies. The developed system provides features such as user registration and login, complaint and aspiration submission forms, report status tracking, and an admin dashboard for managing and following up on reports. The results show that the system improves efficiency, transparency, and accountability in managing public aspirations. Through this system, citizens can submit reports online without visiting the village office and monitor their report status in real time. The implementation of the RAD method proved effective in delivering a system that meets user needs within a relatively short development time.

This community service activity aims to enhance participants' digital competency through responsive web design training conducted using integrated webinar and workshop methods. The background of this activity is based on the increasing need for adaptive web development skills across various devices to support digital personal branding. This activity involves university students and the general public and is conducted online utilizing modern communication platforms. The implementation method consists of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. In the implementation stage, participants attend webinar sessions to strengthen conceptual understanding of responsive web design principles, followed by workshop sessions that emphasize hands-on practice in website creation using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Evaluation is conducted through pre-tests and post-tests to measure program effectiveness. The results show a significant increase in participants' digital competency with an average score increase of 55.8%. These findings indicate that the integration of webinar and workshop methods is effective in improving participants' conceptual understanding and technical skills. This activity is expected to serve as a model for community service based on applicable and sustainable digital competency development.
