    UNIKOM PKM Team Helps SMEs Level Up Through Excel-Based Financial Reporting Training at Kios Bos Kecos

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — On Friday, April 24, 2026, Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM), community service team, consisting of lecturers, alumni, and students from Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), carried out a community service activity as a contribution by the university to the empowerment of the micro-business sector. The PKM activity was led by a lecturer from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ely Suhayati, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., with team members including lecturer Fakhrian Fadlia Adiwijaya, S.Kom., alumna Dini Fitriyanti, A.Md., and Nasya Rizqiana, a student in the Accounting Program.

    The PKM program was made possible through an internal grant from UNIKOM via the Community Service and Empowerment Division (DP2M). Under the theme “Preparing Financial Reports for Kios Bos Kecos Using Excel,” the program also partnered with the SME Kios Bos Kecos, located at Jl. H. Mansyur No. 117, RT 09/RW 04, Bojongsoang, Bandung Regency, West Java 40288.

    Kios Bos Kecos is a productive micro-enterprise operating in the garment tailoring service sector and has been in operation since January 2021. Initially, the business handled contract work for other parties. Over time, its strategic roadside location has helped it become increasingly well-known within the local community.

    However, throughout its development, Kios Bos Kecos has faced several challenges in business management, particularly in operational and financial aspects. These challenges have resulted in limited business promotion, while financial record-keeping has remained manual, preventing a comprehensive overview of business performance. As a result, it has been difficult for the business to formulate financial strategies or prepare the financial reports required to access financing.

    To address these challenges, the UNIKOM PKM team conducted outreach on the basic accounting cycle and provided training on preparing financial reports using Microsoft Excel. The use of Microsoft Excel, combined with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), was chosen for its ease of implementation, time efficiency, and flexibility in correcting input errors without the need to start over. This system is designed to be directly operated by SME owners.

    The activity was implemented using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and direct field surveys. To measure the program’s success, an evaluation was conducted through a post-activity questionnaire, along with consultation services during the system implementation process, whether via telephone, WhatsApp, or direct discussions.

    Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ely, as the PKM team leader, stated that through this activity, partners received practical training in financial management that is more organized, systematic, and easy to implement. Additionally, the team provided guidance on utilizing Google Maps and social media to expand the reach of business promotion.

    Through this PKM program, the community service initiative is expected to encourage Kios Bos Kecos to adopt more orderly, efficient, and transparent business management practices. Improved capabilities in preparing financial reports are also expected to support more informed decision-making and strengthen access to financial institutions, thereby opening up broader opportunities for future business development.

    FEB UNIKOM and the Directorate of Artificial Intelligence and New Technology Ecosystems Komdigi Promotes the Digitalization of Preschool and Madrasah Tsanawiyah through PKM in Sukabumi

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — Supporting Preschool and Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) is a strategic investment in building sustainable human resource quality, as both levels play a fundamental role in shaping the academic foundation, character, and literacy of students. To achieve this, the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) collaborated with the Directorate of Artificial Intelligence and New Technology Ecosystems of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) to carry out Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM), community service, activities at Preschool and MTs Yayasan Tarbiyah Islamiyyah (YASTI) Sukabumi. The activity aims to strengthen the digitization of education in the region through the provision of learning facilities and increasing the readiness of schools to utilize technology adaptively.

    The implementation of PKM FEB UNIKOM is part of the implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education) as well as a manifestation of the commitment to expanding access to more equitable education. Through collaboration with KOMDIGI, FEB UNIKOM encourages the strengthening of supporting facilities so that schools in the region are able to develop more effective learning processes, including in improving administrative management and preparing learning materials based on digital devices.

    During the PKM implementation, FEB UNIKOM had the opportunity to distribute assistance to Preschool YASTI in the form of a set of stationery. Meanwhile, MTs YASTI not only received assistance in the form of stationery, but was also equipped with learning support devices based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT). These various forms of assistance are expected to support the smooth running of the teaching and learning process while increasing the effectiveness of school administration management.

    The Dean of FEB UNIKOM, Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M.Ak., Ak., CA., in her speech said that support for educational facilities is FEB UNIKOM’s commitment to strengthening the quality of learning in a sustainable manner, especially in areas that still need strengthening of educational support facilities.

    Director of the Directorate of Artificial Intelligence and New Technology Ecosystems KOMDIGI, Aju Widya Sari, S.T., M.T., emphasized the importance of strengthening devices and literacy in the use of technology in regional educational units. She stated that appropriate technological support will help schools build a learning ecosystem that is relevant to the times, while expanding opportunities for students and school administrators to access more modern learning.

    Through this PKM collaboration, FEB UNIKOM and KOMDIGI hope that the benefits provided will not stop at the delivery of assistance alone, but can serve as a catalyst for strengthening the capacity of schools in the region to adopt technology gradually, so that the digitization of education can be realized more inclusively and sustainably.

  • The PKM-PM “Peka Toksin” Team Unikom Empowers Karang Taruna of Pamekaran Village through Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology to Prevent and Detect Black Mold

    The PKM-PM “Peka Toksin” Team Unikom Empowers Karang Taruna of Pamekaran Village through Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology to Prevent and Detect Black Mold

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The Student Creativity Program Team in the Community Service category (PKM-PM) from Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has successfully implemented a community empowerment program “Peka Toksin” in Pamekaran Village, Soreang, Kabupaten Bandung. The PKM program is one of the innovations of UNIKOM students in combining artificial intelligence (AI) technology with environmental health education, particularly in the early detection of black mold, which has the potential to harm the respiratory system.

    The “Peka Toksin” PKM program was born out of the students’ awareness of the dense and humid environmental conditions in Pamekaran Village, which are two factors that are very risky for the growth of mold that produces mycotoxins. Through “Peka Toksin,” the team presented an AI-based application that can help the community quickly identify the presence of black mold while strengthening the role of Karang Taruna as a driving force for health education at the community level.

    The “Peka Toksin” team consists of students from the Information Systems and Informatics Engineering Study Programs, with Team Leader Nur Aisah (Information Systems), Rizki Dwi Sya’bana Nugraha (Information Systems), Rizka Dwi Putri Ningsih (Information Systems), Rhadith Eka Erlangga Shaputra (Information Systems), and Abdul Malik Febrian Zulkifli (Computer Engineering), accompanied by their advisor, Dr. Hj. Supriyati, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., ASEAN CPA., C.PI., CIAP., AMKI.

    This activity also received support from the Director of Student Affairs UNIKOM, Andrias Darmayadi, S.IP., M.Si., Ph.D., who emphasized that the synergy between students and the community is a manifestation of UNIKOM’s vision to provide technology-based solutions that have a direct impact. “This program is a concrete form of our commitment to empowering the community through student innovation. Thank you to the village government and Karang Taruna of Pamekaran Village for their collaboration and support,” he said.

    This program is funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek) through the 2025 PKM-PM Grant Scheme and has been running from July to November 2025. The program was implemented systematically through several stages, including 1) Observation and Field Analysis Stage (July 2025): The team conducted field observations on July 22 to understand the real conditions of the community and held discussions with the Village Head, Hamlet Head, and Karang Taruna. The results of the observations were used as the basis for planning training and socialization; 2) Technology Development Stage (July 25-28, 2025): The team optimized the “Peka Toksin” application and installed the system on the mobile phones of cadres and residents to ensure readiness for use; and 3) Socialization and Empowerment Stage (August 2025). Activities began with the formation of Karang Taruna cadres and the handover of guideline books, followed by a demonstration of the application to residents on August 18, and continued with technical training for cadres on August 23.  The program ended with intensive assistance to residents’ homes on August 25, to ensure that the cadres were able to carry out their educational and detection functions independently.

    The enthusiasm of the Pamekaran Village community is proof of the success of the student team’s participatory approach. Iwan Wahyudin, Head of Hamlet III, expressed his appreciation. “We really appreciate the initiative of UNIKOM students. This innovation is real and relevant to the needs of the residents. The socialization helped us understand the dangers of black mold and how to prevent it,” he said.

    Meanwhile, Dini Nurjanah, Chair of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) of Pamekaran Village, said that the program had a positive impact on increasing community awareness. “Previously, many residents were unaware of the dangers of black mold. After the socialization, they became more vigilant and understood how to prevent it. We hope this program will continue,” said Dini.

    Support also came from Fajar Sumirat, Leader of the Karya Mekar Karang Taruna, “Thank you to Kemdiktisaintek and UNIKOM for the very useful education. The knowledge we have gained will help us maintain the cleanliness and health of the environment independently,” he said.

    More than just a technology project, PKM-PM “Peka Toksin” is an example of the integration of digital innovation and social empowerment. The program produced an AI-based application and strengthened the social capacity of the village community through cadre development and continuous training.

    Dr. Hj. Supriyati hopes that Karang Taruna Desa Pamekaran can become a pioneer in maintaining technology-based environmental health while also serving as a model for the implementation of education and AI-based “smart villages” for other villages in Indonesia.

    Through the synergy between student innovation, government support, and active community participation, UNIKOM once again demonstrates its role as a university committed to sustainable development and technology-based empowerment. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
