This study used primary data obtained from the results of questionnaires distributed to approximately 200 MSME actors in North Sumatra spread across several sub-districts. The results showed that the perception of MSME actors in North Sumatra Regency has experienced a good perception as evidenced by the results of the study that the average repsonden already knows the importance of financial statements in a business, including to find out business development, support business interests such as tax interests and the interest of applying for credit to the Bank as additional capital. This good perception is influenced by experience or length of time running a business and also educational background.
