Strengthening Entrepreneurship and Financial Reporting Training for The Bali Pande Keris Craftsmen Group Tapakkarya in Denpasar

For Balinese people, traditional weapons such as keris are considered to have high spiritual value, so it is not surprising that the Balinese people themselves greatly glorify these traditional weapons. Keris is considered a symbol of resistance against evil spirits. Keris is also commonly used as a complementary weapon for Hindu religious ceremonies. One of the keris SMEs targeted by the Community Partnership Empowerment activity is the Bali Tapa Karya Pande Keris Craftsmen Group. The location of this PKM Partner is on Jalan Ratna Gang Pacar Denpasar. Based on the results of observations and interviews, the problems faced by partners are low knowledge of the concept of entrepreneurship, lack of understanding of managerial aspects, especially simple bookkeeping techniques for SME actors. Lack of basic entrepreneurship education and training for SME actors and assistance in calculating the cost of finished products. There are three activities carried out in Community Partnership Empowerment, namely providing counseling and training in bookkeeping, mentoring and direct practice regarding the process of calculating production costs, education regarding the importance of management in business and literacy of basic entrepreneurial concepts. The results of the program implementation show that after mentoring and socialization activities, partners are able to make financial records more structured, thereby reducing errors during the financial recording process and being able to calculate the cost of products, can improve business management to be effective and efficient, and increase entrepreneurial motivation.
