The informants in this study were MSMEs in the culinary sector located in Ambon City by taking 4 informants representing each range of Micro, Small and Medium. Data analysis techniques used data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the four informants had never received socialization from the government, but there was a perception factor of MSME actors that made them want to implement SAK EMKM. The educational background of accounting is relevant to financial reports, making informants able to implement SAK EMKM, and vice versa. MSME actors with medium business sizes can not only implement SAK EMKM but small and micro businesses can also.
