Type: article
Abstract: Effective, efficient, and transparent financial management constitutes a fundamental prerequisite for educational institutions in ensuring accountable governance and enhancing institutional quality. However, at SMK Triguna 1956, financial recording and reporting processes are still conducted manually, resulting in several challenges such as fragmented data, potential loss of information, delays in financial reporting, and limited accessibility for stakeholders. These issues significantly hinder accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency in the school’s financial governance. To address these challenges, this Community Service Program aims to develop a web-based financial management system that operates in real time, is fully integrated, and tailored to the school’s operational requirements. The system will be developed using PHP and MySQL technologies, featuring digital transaction recording, automated report generation, and user access control to strengthen data security. Furthermore, the program integrates a financial literacy component for teachers, administrative staff, and students through training sessions and workshops focusing on financial planning, budget management, and the application of basic accounting principles. The implications of this program extend beyond technical upgrades. It fostered a digital culture within the school, strengthened institutional accountability, and positioned SMK Triguna 1956 as a replicable model for other vocational schools. Limitations included infrastructure constraints and limited time for advanced training. Future community service efforts should adopt phased implementation models, integrate student-led digital ambassador roles, and promote inter-school collaboration to scale impact. This initiative underscores the importance of pairing digital innovation with human capacity-building to achieve sustainable transformation in educational governance.
