OPTIMIZING THE COMPETENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM OF ACCOUNTING TEACHERS IN USING ACCURATE SOFTWARE

Based on the observations made, problems were found including accounting records that were
still manual and a lack of understanding regarding accurate software. The lack of expertise in
the use of technology in the accounting process creates a new problem, which is difficult to get a
decent job for job seekers. Among job seekers, there are various educational backgrounds, ranging
from high school graduates, vocational schools, as well as undergraduate graduates from various
universities. The Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo University Community Service Center conducts
training on Accurate accounting software for teachers and vocational students in Sidoarjo.
Training is provided using Accurate software. The purpose of this training is to provide training
to teachers and students in understanding and operating various features in Accurate related to
transaction accounting which are expected to improve skills in using this software. The method
in this service uses the PAR method which involves the teacher. The stages of implementing
community service use the PAR method, namely initial mapping, implementation, and
monitoring/evaluation. The results of the service carried out at the Muhammadiyah University
of Sidoarjo went smoothly and the teachers succeeded in increasing teachers' understanding in
using accurate applications.
