The data was analyzed using correlation test. The results show the maturity level of the SMEs accounting system is at the third level (defined), which means that the accounting system development activities have been determined but are not yet optimal. Key maturity activities that are related significantly are planning and organization, business process management, risk management, and problem management, as well as system standardization and measurement.
