Designing an Accounting Information System to Facilitate Zakat Calculations for Jam'iyyah Businessmen (Persis Banjaran)

The information system was designed and developed on Jam’iyyah (Persis Banjaran) businessmen in Bandung Regency. One of the main problems faced by these business actors is the inability to record economic transactions and compile them in adequate financial reporting to determine how much zakat should be paid accurately. This is due to the lack of knowledge of business actors about the importance of good financial reporting as a basis for calculating zakat by the Al-Quran and Al-Hadist. Designing the correct accounting information system and developing it according to the needs of business actors can solve the problems faced by Jam’iyyah (Persis Banjaran) business actors. The design and development of this accounting information system resulted in an application named Kaashir as a result of excellent thinking and collaboration between the community services team at Universitas Islam Bandung (Unisba) and the information technology development team from the Persis Banjaran Youth group. The accounting information system design process has progressed to the application development stage, specifically with the Kaashir application. The current stage of development involves beta testing to evaluate the application’s preparedness for the implementation stage, which will encompass a broader range of users in the coming year. The development of accounting information systems in the form of the Kaashir application will continue so that all business people in Indonesia can widely use this application.
