INTRODUCTION 

Small and medium enterprises have a very large and crucial contribution to the macro economy, this can 
be seen in the report of the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of the Republic 
of Indonesia (RI) which reports that in total units, the company has a share of about 99.99% (62.9 million units) 
of the total businesses in Indonesia (2017), while large businesses only as much as 0.01% or about 5 400 units. 
Micro Enterprises absorbed approximately 107.2 million workers (89.2%), Small Businesses 5.7 million (4.74%), 
and Medium Enterprises 3.73 million (3.11%); while Usaha Besar absorbs about 3.58 million people. combined 
small and medium enterprises absorb about 97% of the national workforce, while Big Business only absorbs 
about 3% of the total national workforce (Haryanti, 2018).  
Small and medium enterprises in Bali is one of the growing companies as confirmed by the Ministry of 
Communication and Informatics (Saputra, et.al., 2019) RI assesses the existence of small and medium enterprises 
in Bali is very advanced. kemenkominfo assesses the progress because balinese people are so creative and 
innovative that anything can be a work of art (Suadnyana, 2018). According to the Central Statistics Agency of 
Bali province recorded the largest number of small and medium-sized companies in Bali is in the city of 
Denpasar as many as 97,277 companies. 

In this Asean Economic Community (MEA), in order for small and medium enterprises to survive and 
continue to increase their contribution to the country's economy must be able to compete in the global market 
(Waqas, et.al., 2020). To achieve this, it is necessary to record and report to assess the company's performance 
(Priliandani, et.al., 2020). Performance measurement can be done using profitability ratio or rentability used to 
measure the effectiveness of management in managing the company (Maulida & Ashadi, 2008). The data is in the 
financial statements, to produce financial statements required Accounting Information System. Important 
functions formed accounting information system in an organization, among others (Mariyatni, et.al., 2020).  
Collecting and storing data about activities and transactions, Processing data into information that can be used in 
the decision-making process and Conducting precise control over organizational assets (Sara, et.al., 2020). 
Considering that small, and medium enterprises are still constrained by the preparation of financial stat ements 
as seen in the results of Salmiah et al (2018) research conducted in pekanbaru city proves that small and dairy 
businesses in the new week city do not have a high understanding of accounting standards. According to 
Hariyadi (2013) in addition to capital and market access that can make it difficult for small and medium-sized 
companies to grow, many companies cannot afford to be large because they do not have systematic bookkeeping, 
as a result of which there is no separation between personal money and corporate money (Ekayani, et.al., 2020).

the results of brief interviews with several small and medium-sized companies that it is true that there are some 
small and medium-sized companies can not measure the performance of the company well because it does not 
record accounting properly (Saputra, Darma, et.al., 2019). Based on this, this research will discuss whether the 
application of accounting information system and company category affects the ability to compile financial 
statements of small and medium enterprises in the city of Denpasar Bali.

In accordance with Law No. 20 of 2008 on Small and Medium Enterprises. In the regulation, companies are

entities that are not subsidiaries or non-branches of companies owned, controlled, or become part of either

this Law (Saputra, 2018). Medium enterprises are stand-alone productive economic enterprises, conducted by 
individuals or business entities that are not subsidiaries or branches of companies owned, controlled, or part of 
either directly or indirectly with Small companies or large companies with the amount of net worth or annual 
sales proceeds as stipulated in this Law (Saputra, Anggiriawan, et.al., 2019). Medium enterprises are stand -alone 
productive economic enterprises, conducted by individuals or business entities that are not subsidiaries or 
branches of companies owned, controlled, or part of either directly or indirectly with Small companies or large 
corporations with the amount of net worth or annual sales proceeds as stipulated in this Law (Ezeagba, 2017).

Measurement of The Company's Financial Performance 
Financial performance can be measured by analyzing and evaluating financial statements. Financial position 
information from past financial performance is often used as the basis for predicting the company's future 
financial position and performance and things that directly attract users such as dividend payments, wages, price 
movements, securities and the company's ability to meet its commitments when it matures (Iriyadi, et.al., 2018). 
The method commonly used to measure a company's financial performance is the financial ratio method. 
"Financial ratio analysis is a method of calculating and calculating financial ratios to assess the performance and 
status of a company (Abanis, et.al., 2013). 
Financial Performance Measurement Objectives 
The objectives of measuring financial performance are; 1) To know the level of liquidity, namely the ability of the 
company to meet financial obligations at the time of billing. 2) To know the level of solvency that is to show the 
ability of the company to meet its financial obligations, if the company is liquidated both short-term and long-
term liabilities.  3) To know the level of profitability that is to show the ability of the company to earn profit 
during a certain period. 4) To know the level of stability, namely the company's ability to conduct its business 
steadily as measured by considering the company's ability to pay installments regularly to shareholders without 
experiencing obstacles (Munawir, 2011:31). 
Understanding Accounting Information System 
According to Krismiaji (2010), accounting information system is a unit of system components that process data 
and transactions in order to produce useful information to plan, control, and operate the business. To be able to 
generate the information required by decision makers, accounting information systems must carry out the 
following tasks: (1) Collect transaction data and other data and enter it into the system, (2) Process transaction

decision making.

study is primary data obtained by distributing questionnaires. The population in this study was MSMEs in 

Denpasar district as much as 97,277. The amount of sample size that must be taken in a study in order for 

the results of the study to be valid, related to the purpose of sampling (Sekaran, 2006). The samples in this 

study were as many as 100 companies. Sampling techniques used in this study using random sampling, 
namely the way of sampling by sampling members of the population is done randomly regardless of the 

strata in a population. This is done because members of the population are considered homogeneous

information system in a sample of companies in the city of Denpasar BALI.

public sector orgasnization services in the community. Abdulrazak (2013) which states the accounting 
information system helps the owner in controlling operational costs related to sales, setting the selling price 

of a product, relative to the costs incurred to produce the product.
