Difficulties in preparing proper financial reports remain a common issue among small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly in producing information that is accurate and useful for decision-making. This condition highlights the importance of determining the main factors that contribute to enhancing the effecttiveness of financial reporting practices. This study examines the role of financial literacy, the use of accounting information systems, and training in enhancing the effectiveness of financial reporting among SMEs. A quantitative approach was applied using survey data collected from 100 SME actors in Boyolali Regency, selected based on specific criteria. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after passing instrument testing and classical assumption procedures. The findings reveal that financial literacy, the utilization of accounting information systems, and training each contribute positively to the effectiveness of financial reporting.
