This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of digital literacy and financial literacy on the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), with accounting information systems as a mediating variable. The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Primary data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 MSME owners/managers domiciled in Blimbing District and Lowokwaru District, Malang City. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results indicate that improvements in MSME performance are influenced by the digital literacy and financial literacy of MSME actors. However, the use of accounting information systems as a mediating variable does not show a significant effect, due to the limited understanding among MSME actors regarding the role of accounting information systems in overcoming decision-making barriers. This lack of understanding hinders their ability to utilize accounting information systems to comprehend financial conditions, plan business strategies, control costs, and enhance accountability.Keywords: Digital literacy, financial literacy, accounting information system, msmes.
