Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Denpasar City have a strategic role in the regional economy, particularly through job creation and contributions to local income. Despite their potential, many MSMEs still encounter challenges in financial management, which can hinder their development and sustainability. The emergence of information technology offers solutions, including cloud-based accounting systems that provide convenience, efficiency, flexibility, and accessibility—features that are especially beneficial for small business actors. This study aims to explore the factors that influence MSMEs’ interest in adopting cloud accounting systems in Denpasar City. The research uses a quantitative method with a survey approach involving MSME actors who currently use or have the potential to use cloud accounting. The independent variables in this study include personal ability, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived data security risk, while the dependent variable is the interest in using cloud accounting systems. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the effect of each factor on the dependent variable. The results show that personal ability, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness have a positive and significant influence on MSMEs’ interest in adopting cloud accounting systems. In contrast, perceived security risk has a negative and significant effect, indicating that concerns about data privacy and cyber threats may hinder the adoption of this technology. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of technology acceptance among MSMEs and highlight the importance of strengthening digital competencies, improving user-friendly system design, and enhancing cybersecurity measures. These insights are expected to support government and developers in formulating appropriate strategies to accelerate digital transformation within the MSME sector, especially in the context of financial technology. The implementation of such strategies can improve business performance and competitiveness among MSMEs in Denpasar and beyond.
