Pelatihan dan Pendampingan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi dan Pendanaan Digital untuk Modernisasi Keuangan Pondok Pesantren Al Ajwa Al Islamy

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools need accountable financial administration and broader funding access, yet many institutions still rely on fragmented manual records. This community service program aimed to improve the capacity of Al Ajwa Al Islamy Islamic Boarding School managers in digital accounting information systems, crowdfunding, and financial literacy. A participatory training and direct-assistance approach involved eight participants, comprising a management coordinator, administrative staff, finance staff, teachers, and a foundation representative. The program was implemented in two five-hour sessions through needs assessment, pre-test, guided practice, system implementation, discussion, and post-test. The average competency score increased from 66.3 to 85.8, equivalent to a relative gain of 29.4%. The largest improvement occurred in crowdfunding knowledge, from 58.8 to 90.0, followed by digital accounting information systems from 70.0 to 85.0 and financial literacy from 70.0 to 82.5. The assistance also supported the digitization of 150 student records, the use of a digital tuition-payment matrix, and the preparation of a digital fundraising campaign. The program strengthened operational readiness, although follow-up assistance is required to evaluate sustained use and actual fundraising outcomes.
