Cooperative & BMT Accounting
Savings and loan cooperatives and BMT have special accounting characteristics: equity comes from member primary and mandatory savings, as well as reserves from undistributed SHU. Recording must separate savings as liabilities or equity according to their nature. Arunika Consulting helps cooperatives prepare financial statements according to SAK EP and Kemenkop guidelines so AGM runs smoothly.
Important Note
This industry needs careful tax compliance monitoring. Make sure all obligations are fulfilled on time.
Common Challenges
Member Savings Classification
Primary and mandatory savings are recorded as equity, while voluntary savings that can be withdrawn anytime are liabilities.
SHU Calculation and Distribution
Remaining Operating Results must be calculated accurately and distributed according to bylaws: reserves, education fund, social fund, and member share.
Bad Debt Allowance
Member loans in arrears need evaluation and bad debt allowance formation (CKPN) according to standards.
Reporting for AGM
Financial statements must be ready and accountable in the Annual Members Meeting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between primary, mandatory, and voluntary savings?
Primary savings are paid once when becoming a member, mandatory savings are paid regularly (monthly), both recorded as equity. Voluntary savings can be withdrawn anytime so recorded as liabilities.
How to calculate SHU per member?
SHU is divided based on savings services (proportion of savings balance) and loan services (proportion of interest paid) of each member to total cooperative.
Do cooperatives need to make bad debt provisions?
Yes. Cooperatives must form CKPN (Loss Allowance for Value Reduction) for loans with declining collectibility according to credit risk evaluation.

Accurate, timely financial reports help you spot cost leakage, monitor margins by product or service, and make data-based decisions.
