Learning about accurate is still being a discourse so far and it requires teachers to improve their abilities and knowledge. This makes all high school especially Accounting Vocational High school teachers need to be trained about accurate learning. The purpose of this training is to develop their knowledge related to computers and fulfill the needs of companies who need to use the accurate program. As a result, this program will bring benefit for graduated students so they will easily find a job in the future. To solve this problems, the writer did the assistance on the Subject Teacher Organization (MGMP) Accounting group in Surabaya by providing accurate training. The average results of pre and posttest increases 18.25 points. The result obtained from pre and posttest is very satisfying which 87.5% of teachers received higher point after doing the training.

There are 131.55 million people who enter as the labor force, 124.54 million people who work and the rest 7.01 million people are confirmed unemployed. The number of unemployed people who came from the Vocational High School (SMK) ranks at the top of 9.27%. The contribution of SMK graduates to the number of unemployed people in Indonesia is partly due to the low specialized skills or soft skills of SMK graduates (except those whose competencies have been tested), quoted in http://detikfinance.com. This is reinforced by the findings of Djashan (2017) which states that changes in scope of work demand is faster than changes in school curricula. The ability to recognize accounting software earlier will help students adapt more easily to the working environment. The development of Information Technology (IT) which is increasingly rapid in the current era of globalization has an impact on the world of education, especially the existence of the industrial revolution 4.0. This requires the teacher to adjust the development of IT to improve the quality of learning. These qualities can be improved by innovating the development of attractive and communicative teaching materials. This indicates that the teacher needs to do the right strategies in delivering material at school. The development of the industrial revolution has actually been applied to schools, especially vocational high schools by providing subjects using computer application programs. For 59 example, at Al' Fatah Kalitidu Bojonegoro Vocational High School, the teachers have taught the accounting computer program MYOB V 18 TRIAL program. Along with the addition of a new accounting program, the teachers also need to learn and practice so that when there is a change in the computer accounting program, the teachers are not preoccupied with seeking for more training. The problems experienced by accounting teachers give us a discourse to provide assistance in the form of accounting faced training for teachers, one of which is accurate training. ACCURATE Accounting Software was created by Putra / Putri Bangsa Indonesia, which is under the auspices of PT. Cipta Piranti Sejahtera, known as CPSSoft, located in Jakarta. ACCURATE Accounting Software is the first software developed by CPSSoft. In developing software, CPSSoft always uses the basic principles of 3M, namely Murah (Cheap), Massal (Mass), and Manfaat (Advantageous). Accurate accounting is a software that is used to simplify the management of financial data with a high degree of accuracy so that it produces financial reports and balance sheets more quickly. The advantages of this accurate program besides being very easy to use, it has been equipped with tax features that are suitable with Indonesian taxation. Most programs still do not have this feature but accurate accounting has. In addition to have used the accounting standards applied in Indonesia, this accurate accounting program is able to calculate transaction values up to 15 digits, meaning transaction that can be calculated is around 920 trillion. After analyzing the situation, most companies have started to use this computer accounting programs besides MYOB. It makes the graduated students of high school / vocational high school become less valuable, so the chairwoman of MGMP East Java delivered a discourse about the change in material that will be taught to students. One of the discourses is the change of learning material for accounting practices from the MYOB program to the accurate program. The discourse makes teachers need training that is not learned just once because accurate pr LITERATURE REVIE Improving the good quality of human resources is a challenge faced by teachers, because the success of an education is determined by the way the professionalism of educators teach.

Common problems that occur are: 1. Difficult to track items going in and out and difficult to monitor stock 2. Difficult to monitor vendor/customer’s debt, difficult to monitor the age of debt 3. Expect to monitor earnings quickly and require to have ready-made financial reports 4. Miscalculated of debt payment and non-deposited payments from customers There are many problems faced by financial report users and they can be solved when our choice in selecting the tools (in this case is accounting computer applications) are suitable with what is needed by users. All modern businesses have accounting software as a tool to facilitate and speed up administrative tasks that require accuracy and high security. Accurate accounting software is one software that offers several advantages that make it easier for users in making financial reports. One of them is that this software helps to complete financial reports even though the users do not really understand the basics of accounting. Transactions in this software include sales, purchases, inventory, service sales, make a cost notes up to the preparation of financial reports in a few steps precisely and accurately. METHODS This community service program used teaching methods, discussion training, and feedback to the teachers. The assistance was focused on the training by using computer program. The method of this community service program could be presented in the figure as followed: Figure 1.1 Activity implementation framework The method of implementing community service activities began by coordinating with Mrs. Setyo Budi as a deputy chairwoman of the Accounting Subject Teacher Organization Coordinate with Surabaya MGMP representatives Training accurate software for accounting teachers Coordinate with vocational high school teacher related to the problems faced Coordinate with the new accounting program Outcome: able to teach what the accurate program is accurate software training assistance (test) Preparing draft for publication Publication of the National Seminar on Community Service Report on Community Service activities 61 (MGMP) who is also a teacher staff at SMKN 1 Surabaya. In this coordination, it was conveyed that knowledge of computer accounting was still limited to the subjects presented. The subject matter was presented in the form of accounting practices using MYOB. Based on the phenomenon, the head of Subject Teacher Organization (MGMP) East Java began to inform accounting teachers to learn using the accurate computer program because the MYOB program would be replaced with the accurate program. The coordination was very much accepted by the deputy chairwoman of MGMP Surabaya so that the implementation of this activity would fully coordinate with Mrs. Setyo Budi. The results of the coordination found that the training plan was started for the teachers of State Vocational High Schools in advance where on average their schools had an accurate program. In addition, State Vocational Schools would more quickly implement accurate programs on their students even though this program was still not being a compulsory subject. This activity was planned for 20 Vocational High School teachers in Surabaya who would be informed via the Surabaya Accounting MGMP group. This community service was held in stages for two to four days where the activity starts with an explanation of theory, practice and test. It was intended that vocational high school teachers are able to understand and practice the program accurately. This activity was carried out from the last June at STIE Perbanas Surabaya. The main stage of the activity was determining the participant who would be involved in this activity, namely: 1. Schools / education offices that identified the needs of the organization in preparing future challenges 2. Principals who were the ones who are most responsible for the success of a job and who know best what type of training needs are needed 3. The teachers who were given the opportunity to take part in a particular training program, where the teacher is certainly intellectually mature and explores his potential to need a learning effort. The training activity is a budget that is provided by the school itself. So that every training must be carefully analyzed needs that provide benefits for teachers and schools. So, those who attend the training must be competent and have benefits for the teachers, the school and for students. Training in this service activity was expected to be practiced for students through training for students. Based on the needs analysis, then set various targets to be achieved from a training activity, both technical and behavioral in nature. For organizers, the determination of these objectives has important meanings as: (1) later benchmarks to determine the success or failure of the training program; (2) materials in an effort to determine the next steps, such as determining the contents of the program and the appropriate training methods. As for the participants, the goal setting is useful in preparation and effort what they should do in order to get the maximum benefit from the training activities that they participate in. This activity will produce output in the form of accurate easy learning modules and publication of national seminars that will be carried out by the Indonesian Management Forum in 2019. The overall planned activities above can run smoothly with the support and participation of the training participants. Active participation provided includes: 1. Willingness to discuss issues related to the needs of teachers and students both high school and vocational high school. 2. Willingness to attend training until they are proficient in using accurate programs 62 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION These training activity partners are teachers who are members of the MGMP Group in the Surabaya and surrounding areas. After coordinating with Mrs. Setyo as MGMP Accounting deputy chairwoman, the activity is followed by choosing the school representative to participate in this activity. Of course the basis for the election is to prioritize state schools because their infrastructure is already supporting by having a computer laboratory. This does not discourage private schools because we also choose a private school that is competent with computer programs. In addition to the priority of the state, the accurate program which is still a discourse replaces the MYOB program, will later be applied to public schools for the first time. That is why we prioritize state schools to take part in this training. The names of schools participating in this activity are from: 1. SMKN 1 Surabaya 4 teachers 2. SMKN 10 Surabaya 2 teachers 3. SMKN 10 Surabaya 2 teachers 4. SMKN 6 Surabaya 2 teachers 5. SMKN 1 Bangkalan 2 teachers 6. SMKN III Bangkalan 1 teachers 7. SMKN 1 Sampang 1 teachers 8. SMK Al Fatah Bojonegoro 3 teachers From 8 schools, 17 teachers were obtained from Surabaya, Madura and Bojonegoro. Training activities for teachers are basically an integral part of management in the field of personnel in schools and are efforts to develop teacher knowledge and skills so that in turn teachers are expected to gain competitive advantage and can provide the best possible service or in other words they can work more productively and be able to improve the quality of performance. The implementation of accurate training activities is carried out for 4 meetings with details of 2 times face to face and 2 independent assignments. This activity was attended by 18 teachers from Surabaya and surrounding and 80% of whom came from State Vocational Hig Schools. Pre-test and post-test are used to see the extent of improving the ability of teachers in this training activity.
