Abstract

The presence of Women's Cooperatives in Indonesia holds significant importance, despite the limited number of large-scale Women's Cooperatives. These cooperatives play a crucial role in supporting the government's efforts to address national challenges such as unemployment reduction, enhanced health outcomes, improved education, and the resolution of gender-related issues. Analysis of the objectives of this initiative reveals two primary issues: 1) Women's Cooperatives heavily rely on savings and loan business units, leading to elevated levels of bad credit in the women's cooperatives of Blitar Regency; 2) Administrators of women's cooperatives struggle to diversify their businesses beyond savings and loans. The initiative commences with preliminary activities, involving a literature review followed by field research utilizing secondary data. Subsequently, a focus group discussion (FGD) is conducted to assess the actual conditions of women's cooperatives in the field, engaging with the Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) Department. Through mentoring endeavors, the aim is to reinforce cooperative management, enabling the development of diversified business ventures beyond savings and loans. This is to be achieved through improved financial planning and activities. Additionally, the initiative aspires to instill in management a comprehensive understanding of business risk management.

Abstract

The cottage boarding school serves as an Islamic educational institution focused on studying, comprehending, deepening, appreciating, and practicing the teachings of Islam, placing particular emphasis on instilling religious morals as daily behavioral guidelines. Moreover, these Islamic boarding schools, in their role as agents of change, not only contribute to religious and societal education but also actively participate in societal development and social transformation. Recognizing the pivotal role of cottage Islamic boarding schools in the community, especially in economic development, this study proposes the reinforcement of Islamic boarding school cooperatives (Kopontren) as economic driving forces within their environments. Initial observations highlight two key challenges: 1) Manual financial reporting based on outdated methods without utilizing SAK ETAP guidelines, and 2) The lack of financial performance analysis by Kopontren managers. The research commences with an introductory phase involving a literature review, followed by an in-depth exploration through secondary data analysis. Subsequently, an internal focus group discussion (FGD) is organized to gain insights into the actual cooperative conditions of cottage boarding schools. This FGD engages with the Department of Cooperatives and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). To ensure the seamless progress of the activities, the execution team will coordinate with the District Cooperatives and MSMEs Service in Blitar, serving as a governmental institution officially supporting the establishment of cooperative cottage boarding schools.

Abstract

Regency Blitar is one of the districts in East Java province with a high number of SMEs. One sector that is growing rapidly in this area is cooperative production. Cooperatives with production business units have the potential to become key drivers of economic growth on a small scale in the Blitar Regency. However, despite the high potential for business development through cooperatives, the progress of business unit growth under cooperative management is still classified as low. Based on the analysis of this activity, several problems were identified: 1) The majority of cooperatives are developing business units without conducting feasibility analyses, making them very vulnerable to business failure. 2) Cooperative managers lack the ability to diversify their businesses. 3) The cooperative administrators' abilities in financial management and reporting are still low. This activity began with introductory activities that included a literature review, followed by field studies through secondary data. The next stage involved an internal Focus Group Discussion (FGD) aimed at identifying the real conditions of cooperatives in the field, conducted with the Blitar Regency Cooperatives and MSMEs Service. To ensure the smooth running of the activities, the executing team coordinated with the partner institution, namely the Blitar Regency Cooperatives and MSMEs Service, which is the official government body responsible for fostering cooperatives.

Abstract

Cooperatives are one of the important pillars in the economic development of the community, especially in Blitar Regency. However, many cooperatives still face serious challenges in accountable and transparent financial governance. The low understanding of Private Entity Financial Accounting Standards (SAK EP) and the limited use of information technology are the main obstacles in preparing reliable financial reports. This community service activity aims to transform cooperative financial governance through the development and implementation of the Cooperative Accounting Information System (SIKOP) based on SAK EP. The approach used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), involving 30 production cooperatives in Blitar Regency as partners. The activities were carried out through the stages of identifying needs, developing systems, intensive training, and assisting in implementation and evaluation. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in the understanding and skills of cooperative administrators in preparing financial reports according to standards, as well as increasing the efficiency and accuracy of recording financial transactions. With the implementation of SIKOP, partner cooperatives also showed increased transparency and accountability which had an impact on member trust and potential access to funding. This program shows that digitizing SAK EP-based financial reports through SIKOP can be an effective solution in building professional, accountable, and sustainable cooperative governance.
