Abstract

Mentoring was carried out in Bojongsoang Village, Bandung Regency, precisely in the MSMEs community of Someah Kampung Digital Bojongsoang. The MSMEs community has been able to compile financial recording and reporting using smartphones practically. However, there are still problems related to the consistency of its implementation due to the lack of knowledge about the benefits of the financial information presented in financial statements to make business decisions. The proper assistance will help MSMEs to develop, from micro, small to medium scale, it can even become the forerunner to the emergence of large-scale industries if they are consistently managed professionally and adequately. This activity was carried out using a method hybrid, namely online through the WhatsApp (WA) application group and offline in face-to-face training in 1 meeting while still paying attention to health protocols on Saturday, March 27 2021. Based on discussions held with the MSMEs Community Someah Bojongsoang and Bojongsoang Village Officials, this partnership can be continued with programs that reach the wider community. This assistance is expected to bring out the consistency of MSMEs in recording, reporting and analyzing financial statements most simply, but still professional.
