Pelatihan Penyusunan Laporan Keuangan bagi UMKM di Kota Banda Aceh

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises' (MSMEs) understanding and ability to prepare systematic, accountable financial reports. The activity was held in Banda Aceh City and involved 41 participants from diverse business backgrounds. The implementation method employed a discussion and question-and-answer approach. In the initial stage, the resource person presented material on the basic principles and procedures for preparing high-quality financial reports. Next, the discussion stage included a question-and-answer session and direct practice in preparing financial reports by participants, with guidance from the implementation team. The activity results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the importance of financial reports as a tool for business evaluation and decision-making. Financial reports serve not only as indicators of business performance but also as a basis for designing sustainable business development strategies. This activity is recommended to be continued periodically and to be developed in line with the current needs of MSMEs.
