This community service activity aims to improve financial literacy and the efficiency of financial report preparation for MSMEs under the guidance of IWAPI (Indonesian Women Entrepreneurs Association) in the Aceh Province through digital accounting education using the SIAPIK application. This initiative was carried out due to the fact that many MSMEs still lack proper financial record-keeping systems and tend to record transactions manually, making them less accurate and inefficient. The training and mentoring program, involving 36 participants from various business sectors within IWAPI Aceh, was conducted through workshops, mentoring, and consultation approaches. The results of this activity show that 80% of the participants experienced significant improvements in their digital accounting skills, particularly in using SIAPIK to record transactions and prepare financial statements. The activity also produced outcomes in the form of increased financial accountability and transparency for the participating MSMEs, and opened opportunities for participants to continue using SIAPIK independently. However, challenges such as limited access to technology for some participants remain. Overall, this activity successfully had a positive impact on financial literacy and the financial management efficiency of MSMEs under the guidance of IWAPI in Aceh, and has the potential to be implemented in other regions.
