Training on Preparing Company Financial Position Reports
Backgrounds: Accounting plays a vital role in recording business transactions and documenting a company’s assets and financial position. Financial statements are essential tools for presenting a company’s financial condition, with the statement of financial position providing a snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time. However, high school students often have limited understanding of this report, which can hinder their financial literacy and readiness for further education or practical application. Objectives: This training activity aimed to enhance accounting knowledge related to the preparation and understanding of the statement of financial position among grade XII students at SMA Kristoforus 1. Methodology: The training was conducted through face-to-face sessions in October 2025. The program began with identifying partner needs, particularly students’ limited comprehension of the statement of financial position. The teaching team designed interactive training sessions supported by structured modules, theoretical explanations, sample problems, group exercises, discussions, and quizzes to assess understanding. Findings: Students showed high levels of enthusiasm and active participation throughout the training, including asking questions and engaging in discussions. Quiz results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ understanding of the statement of financial position, indicating that the training effectively strengthened their accounting comprehension. Conclusions: The training program proved effective in improving students’ understanding of the statement of financial position and enhancing their financial literacy. Interactive learning methods and practical exercises were key factors contributing to the success of the activity, suggesting that similar approaches can be applied to accounting education at the secondary school level.

Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold and Preparation of Income Statement at MSME Dapur Mamak
Backgrounds: The rapid expansion of SME-scale restaurants, driven by social media culinary reviews, highlights the growing need for effective financial management in small business operations. Despite their increasing presence, many SME owners lack awareness of proper accounting practices and their impact on business sustainability. Dapur Mamak, an SME-scale restaurant established in 2023 and operating in the canteen of Tarumanagara University 2, West Jakarta, illustrates this condition. The business currently determines selling prices based on rough estimates and does not maintain formal bookkeeping. Objectives: This community service initiative was conducted to assist in designing a feasible food court model from marketing and management perspectives, strengthen MSME capacity in branding, promotion, and operational management, and build collaborative community involvement to support the establishment of a sustainable culinary centre. Methodology: The implementation methods included initial observation, MSME needs mapping, focus group discussions, marketing strategy mentoring, tenant management training, and the development of a comprehensive food court blueprint. Findings: The results indicate that the food court initiative provides an effective strategic solution for MSMEs by offering a representative business location, increasing collective brand visibility, and enabling marketing synergy among tenants. Conclusions: The community-based food court demonstrates strong potential as a sustainable MSME marketing hub. To ensure long-term sustainability, the programme should be further developed through partnership schemes, community-based branding, and collaborative village business models.

From Stall to Screen: Increasing MSMEs Exposure and Sales in Pering Village Through Online Marketing
Limited marketing access remains a major obstacle for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Pering Village, Blahbatuh District, Gianyar Regency, Bali Province, leading to low sales volumes and profits. Although these enterprises have the potential to produce various superior products, their market reach is constrained, partly because digital technology is still used primarily for personal rather than business communication. To address this issue, a community service program was implemented that included digital marketing training, product photography assistance, the development of compelling promotional narratives, and support in creating business accounts on appropriate digital platforms. The program has enabled MSME actors to expand their marketing access and become more prepared to compete in the digital marketplace, thereby supporting increased sales performance and business growth. Participants improved their digital marketing skills, creating better product photos and promotions. They applied this knowledge by setting up Google Business profiles and social media accounts, expanding their online presence.

Synergy Between Academics and the Community in Increasing the Added Value of Local Food Products through Packaging Innovation: Duwet Polinema Catfish Nuggets
Food product packaging plays a crucial role in determining market competitiveness, particularly for local food products in rural areas. Proper packaging not only preserves product quality but also significantly influences consumer purchasing decisions and product marketability. Despite the growing recognition of packaging importance, many small-scale food producers in Indonesia still face challenges in implementing standard packaging practices due to limited knowledge, resources, and access to modern packaging technology. This Community Service Program (PKM) was carried out by a team of lecturers from the Business Administration Department of the Malang State Polytechnic as an effort to increase the added value and competitiveness of the local food product “Duwet Polinema Catfish Nuggets” in Duwet Village, Tumpang District, Malang Regency. The main problems faced by the producer community are limited knowledge of product packaging and labeling, a lack of effective promotional strategies, and the unavailability of modern packaging equipment. The activities were carried out using a participatory approach through stages of socialization, technical training, promotional assistance, and the provision of vacuum sealer machine grants. The results of the activity showed an increase in the community's skills in packaging according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) principles, an improvement in product quality through hygienic and aesthetic packaging, and a strengthening of digital promotion capabilities. The synergy between academics and the community proved to be effective in increasing the added value and competitiveness of local products based on fishery potential, while strengthening the community's economic independence in a sustainable manner.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Stakeholders Engagement: The Role of Community Participation in Nigeria
CSR is becoming a strategic approach in fostering long-term commitment with stakeholders, building trust, and addressing pressing socio-economic and environmental challenges. This study employs a quantitative research approach to examine CSR and stakeholder engagement among Nigerian firms listed on the NGX. The research focuses on 40 community leaders and 5 non-financial firms, drawing 42 respondents, which makes the population and sample size 82 respondents, which implies a purposive sampling technique. The population and sample size ensured a complete and statistically motivated analysis of CSR implementation and community participation. The study utilises the quantitative techniques, this technique allows the study to provide empirical insights into how firms participate with local communities in CSR decision-making and the overall efficiency of the participating strategies. The study findings revealed that there is low confidence in CSR, as the firms' openness about CSR strategies is still questionable to a large extent. Also, the study result indicates that community-specific resource allocation, firms' corporate transparency, and trust-building efforts must be strengthened to ensure that communities can play a meaningful role in CSR initiatives. The study concluded that CSR initiatives are widely implemented, but community involvement in decision-making as regard CSR remains inconsistent, with many firms adopting top-down approaches which tend to limit community CSR-specific needs and thereby create a lack of genuineness for stakeholder influence. It was recommended that community participation in CSR; therefore, firms should ensure communities are involved in their CSR initiatives, thereby showing transparency through proper communication.
