<![CDATA[Community fund management by neighborhood associations (RT/RW) in Tambak Sumur Village still relied on manual cashbooks without standardized formats or digital backups. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen accountability and transparency through spreadsheet-based bookkeeping. It involved 13 RT/RW administrators and comprised a needs assessment, State-Defense Accounting socialization, Excel and Google Sheets training, guided practice, and performance evaluation. An observation checklist assessed four tasks: opening the template, entering cash receipts and disbursements, verifying the automatic balance, and saving and reopening the file. By the end of the session, all participants completed these tasks with varying assistance, and the partner received a standardized digital cashbook template. The governance gap was the absence of a shared bookkeeping format and data backup. The novelty lies in integrating responsibility, openness, and collective-interest values within a State-Defense Accounting framework for microsocial bookkeeping. Because the program did not use a pre-post test, audit cash turnover, or verify public access through WhatsApp, outcomes are reported as observed skills and instrument readiness rather than a percentage increase in literacy or public transparency. Practice-based assistance offers an initial step toward more orderly and sustainable community fund governance.]]>
