Abstract
Accounting profession is rapidly evolving with the integration of digital technologies, requiring early exposure and training of future accountants. The community service program focused on high school students aimed to educate them about accounting digital transformation through a seminar and hands-on workshop using the Accurate Online accounting application. The program combined service learning with experiential learning structured using IPARD model to enhance students’ knowledge of cloud-based accounting systems and practical accounting skils. The event, which consisted of grades 11 and 12 high school students, demonstrated significant engagement and increased comprehension of digital tools in accounting practices. The program is not only expanded students’ awareness of cloud-based tools but also established a foundation for long-term educational collaboration
