Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of cash management training on mitigating financial distress among microenterprises, particularly in developing economies. It explores how internal capabilities and external factors influence the effectiveness of cash management practices and contribute to the financial resilience and sustainability of microenterprises. Research Design and Methodology: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, analyzing recent academic articles, peer-reviewed journals, and scholarly publications on cash management, financial distress, and microenterprise sustainability. The research synthesized findings across various contexts to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Findings and Discussion: The study found that cash management training significantly enhances the financial resilience of microenterprises by equipping owners with essential skills for managing cash flows. The effectiveness of these practices is influenced by external factors such as supportive government policies and access to financial services. The research highlights the importance of adaptability in cash management, particularly in volatile economic conditions, and underscores the role of both internal and external factors in sustaining microenterprises. Implications: The findings suggest that policymakers and financial institutions should focus on creating an enabling environment that supports microenterprises through targeted training and financial inclusion initiatives. The study also provides practical insights for microenterprise owners to continuously adapt their cash management strategies, ensuring long-term business sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose: This community service project aimed to enhance the financial recording skills of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Desa Kapita through hands-on training with Android-based accounting applications. Research Design and Methodology: The project employed a mixed-methods approach, including pre-and post-training evaluations via questionnaires, interviews, and practical exercises. Involving 25 SME owners in Desa Kapita, Kecamatan Bangkala, and Kabupaten Jeneponto, the training focused on the Wave application for transaction recording, expense management, and financial report generation. The program featured interactive workshops, simulated business scenarios, and follow-up mentoring. Findings and Discussion: Post-training evaluations revealed significant improvements in financial recording skills. 80% of participants developed a solid understanding of basic accounting concepts, and 85% effectively utilized the Wave application for managing finances. The training enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of transaction recording and financial report generation, leading to improved financial oversight and business decision-making. Implications: The findings indicate that targeted training can effectively close the digital literacy gap among SME owners, promoting the use of modern financial tools. Future efforts should incorporate regular mentoring and the creation of local support networks to maintain and broaden the benefits of digital financial management solutions for MSMEs.
