Strengthening the Digital Capabilities of Wedang Uwuh MSMEs Through Training in the Use of Digital Financial Reporting Applications as a Strategic Step in Digital Transformation

Abstract

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a strategic contribution to local economic growth, including in the Bantul region of Yogyakarta. However, there are still many MSME players, especially Wedang Uwuh producers, who have not implemented a digital and structured financial recording system. This service activity aims to provide training and assistance in preparing digital financial reports using simple applications, such as Sepran: Financial Records. The methods used include observation of the initial conditions of MSMEs, basic accounting training, digital financial recording practices, and evaluation of training results. The results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the importance of financial statements, as well as skills in preparing daily cash books and profit and loss statements digitally. It is hoped that this training will be able to help MSME actors manage their business finances more efficiently, adaptively, and sustainably in the digitalization era.
