Keywords:
Training, Financial Recording, Fisheries, Community Empowerment, MSMEsAbstract
This community service activity was carried out at the Rahayu Fisheries Group in Semarang Regency, Central Java, which operates in freshwater fish farming. The main problem faced by partners was a weak financial recording system that caused difficulties in managing cash flow, determining the cost of production, and calculating business profits and losses. The objective of this activity was to improve the financial management skills of business actors through simple financial recording training based on the needs of the fisheries sector. The implementation method included problem identification, participatory training, technical assistance, and evaluation of results. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding and skills in financial recording, with 90% of participants starting to implement a daily recording system based on cash transactions. This improvement also impacted the ability of business actors to plan and control operational costs. This activity is a tangible form of synergy between universities and the community in developing professional and sustainable fisheries-based MSMEs.
