Merry Anna Napitupulu — 2026-07-03

Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) constitute a cornerstone of Indonesia’s rural economic development strategy, yet inadequate financial reporting capacity among their managers continues to erode organizational accountability and governance credibility. This community service activity tackled that challenge through a three-phase participatory mentoring program involving 25 BUMDes managers from three villages in Samosir Regency, North Sumatra namely BUMDes Marsada Tahi, BUMDes Hutanamora, and BUMDes Saoloan. The intervention progressed sequentially through a needs-assessment Forum Group Discussion (FGD), a two-day intensive SAK EMKM-focused workshop, and four rounds of direct field mentoring. Effectiveness was measured using a one-group pre-test–post-test design and analyzed with a paired-samples t-test. Findings revealed a highly significant improvement in mean knowledge scores from 42.6 to 79.3 (an 86.2% gain; t = −18.42; p < 0.001; df = 24). At program conclusion, 88% of participants had independently produced SAK EMKM-compliant financial statements encompassing income statements and statements of financial position.
