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.

What usually goes wrong

  • 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    Primary and mandatory savings are recorded as equity, while voluntary savings that can be withdrawn anytime are liabilities.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 Voluntary savings can be withdrawn anytime so recorded as liabilities.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.

How do accounting services improve operating cost efficiency?

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

Can financial reports be accessed in real time?
