DIGITAL ACCOUNTING TRAINING FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SEMARANG

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology today has brought about changes towards the era of digitalization, with many business activities being carried out digitally. One such example is the accounting recording system, which is transitioning toward digitalization in the processes of identifying, classifying, and summarizing transactions using digital technology. SMA Kristen YSKI Semarang is one of the private schools located in Semarang that has not yet implemented technology-based learning to support business activities. As a result, students are unfamiliar with the digital applications commonly used in the business world. One of the most commonly used digital applications in the business world is the digital accounting application Spreadsheet. Therefore, the objective of this Community Service activity is to provide training to students in introducing and teaching the use of digital accounting applications to record business activities in the business world and to enhance the skills of SMA Kristen YSKI Semarang students so they can compete in the job market after graduating from school. The training was conducted by directly applying the use of a Spreadsheet based on the case studies provided. Based on the results of the students' questionnaire responses, there was an increase in understanding of digital accounting (Spreadsheet application) before and after the training.
