Application For Managing and Reporting Financial data Case Study: Imanuel Lalao Chruch

Abstract

Rapid technological developments provide opportunities for every organization to increase efficiency in managing and reporting financial data in a structured manner. However, until now, the Imanuel Lalao Church still manages finances conventionally, using books and Microsoft Excel, which are prone to recording errors, data inaccuracies, and the risk of losing information. The lack of transparency in financial reports is also a major problem, because it causes the congregation to distrust the management of church finances. Therefore, a more transparent, structured, and accountable system is needed to facilitate the process of managing and reporting finances. This study uses the waterfall method with the aim of building an application that can replace conventional methods in managing and reporting church financial data. The results of the study are an application that is able to increase transparency and accountability in financial management, as well as produce faster, more accurate, and more efficient financial reports.
