Factors That Influence MSMEs to Adopt Technology-Based Accounting Information Systems

Abstract

MSMEs frequently use manual accounting techniques, despite the fact that they can be time-consuming and occasionally inaccurate. One solution to this problem is the implementation of technology-based accounting information systems (AIS). These systems can help MSMEs manage their finances, prepare financial reports, and integrate business data. While the implementation of technology-based AIS can improve business efficiency and help MSMEs face the challenges of Industry 4.0, it can also bring challenges for MSMEs. If they are unable to keep up with technological advances, they may fall behind, ultimately leading to a decline in income. This study intends to investigate the variables, such as perceived utility, usability, and computer literacy, that affect MSMEs' propensity to adopt technology-based AIS. A survey of MSMEs in the Greater Jakarta Area is employed as a quantitative technique to carry out this study. For policymakers and other stakeholders in the MSME sector, the study's findings will offer useful information about how to encourage the use of technology-based AIS and aid MSMEs in successfully adjusting to Industry 4.0.A questionnaire will be used to gather the data, and There will be 122 recipients. The data will then be processed using SmartPLS software.
