Stivan H. Ester M. Introduction Village-Owned Enterprises, hereinafter referred to as BUMDes, have an important role in village development in Indonesia. Law Number 32 of 2004 concerning Regional Government in Article 213 paragraph . states that "Villages can establish village-owned enterprises in accordance with the needs and potential of the village". The substance of this law confirms the promise of fulfilling demand in the context of village-level development. The logic of establishing BUMDes is based on the needs and potential of the village, as an effort to improve community welfare. With regard to planning and establishment. BUMDes are built on community initiatives, and are based on the principles of cooperative, participatory, ('userowned, user-benefited, and user-controlled'), transparency, emancipative, accountable, and sustainable with member-based and self-help mechanisms. Of all that, the most important thing is that the management of BUMDes must be carried out professionally and The establishment of BUMDes is intended to accommodate all activities to increase community income, both those that develop according to local customs/culture, as well as economic activities that are handed over to be managed by the community through Government and Local Government programs/projects. As a village business, the establishment of BUMDes aims to: . encourage the development of economic activities of rural communities. increase creativity and opportunities for productive economic enterprises . of low-income members of rural communities. encourage the development of informal sector micro-enterprises for employment for people in villages who are free from the influence of loan sharks. Community economic empowerment through BUMDes has the following objectives: . the service of the community in the village in developing productive businesses. the availability of various business media in supporting the economy of rural communities in accordance with the potential of the village and the needs of the community. To achieve the goals and objectives of BUMDes, it is very necessary to implement professional management. If BUMDes are managed properly, the progress that occurs will be able to absorb labor and advance the economic level in rural areas. According to Permendagri No. 39 of 2010 which regulates Village-Owned Enterprises. BUMDes are village businesses formed/established by village governments whose capital ownership and management are carried out by village governments and communities. The purpose of establishing BUMDes is to: . prevent village community members from the influence of providing high-interest money loans that harm the community. increase the role of rural communities in managing other legitimate sources of income. maintain and improve the customs of community mutual assistance, like to save in an orderly, orderly, and sustainable manner. encourage the growth and development of economic activities of rural communities. encourage the development of informal sector businesses to be able to absorb community workers in villages. Increase the entrepreneurial creativity of low-income village community members. The establishment of BUMDes has principles: empowerment, diversity, professionalism, efficiency, transparency, accountability, participation, and democracy. To form BUMDes, it is necessary to participate in government capital obtained through APBDes, community savings, government assistance, provincial and district governments, loans, and/or capital participation of other parties or profit-sharing cooperation on a mutually beneficial basis. The composition of the Management Organization as referred to in Article 11 consists of Commissioners (Advisors and Directors (Operational Executive. and the Head of the Business Unit.

Seen on youtube, several TV broadcasts and travelers who have visited the village. It's just that the tourism has not been well organized, for example access to villages and tourist attractions, the existence of these tourist attractions has also not been exploited properly, the lack of supporting facilities and this requires the management of BumDes management not only in the tourism sector but in other sectors, which of course in the future can increase income for the village and the welfare of the village community. However. BUMDes managers have not been able to develop business units based on the village's potential. Based on the results of an interview with the Head of Maraffenen Village, it is known that BUMDes managers do not have adequate BUMDes management skills, so the ability to see opportunities for business development has not been maximized. In addition, it is also realized that the ability of BUMDes managers to identify business opportunities for the development of BUMDes business units is still very low. Similarly, the ability of BUMDes managers to start a business is still low. In general, it can be said that the management skills of BUMDes managers are still inadequate. Article 26 of the Regulation of the Minister of Villages. Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia Number 4 of 2015 states that the results of BUMDes' business can be distributed in accordance with the provisions agreed in the BUMDes' Articles of Association/Bylaws. With this division, of course. BUMDes managers are required to compile an adequate accounting An adequate accounting system in preparing financial statements includes the preparation of account codes, account names, general journal books, cash books, bank books, accounts receivable books, goods books, and balance sheets. In the process of preparing these financial statements. BUMDes also needs to determine the accounting policies adopted. The accounting policy to be selected is available in the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro. Small and Medium Entities (SAK-EMKM) published by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants . Human resource (HR) skill factors, regulations that quickly change or increase, and the relatively new age of BUMDes, are predicted as triggers for the lack of proper financial statements. The description above confirms that there are several problems in BUMDes management, namely: the management and financial skills of BUMDes managers are still relatively low, the ability of BUMDes managers to identify business opportunities for the development of BUMDes business units is also still very low, and the skills of BUMDes managers to start a business are still low. Thus, management and financial training is needed to improve the management skills of BUMDes managers in BUMDes governance, in identifying business opportunities for the development of BUMDes business units, and in starting a business.
