The data was collected by conducting a field survey using a questionnaire. Respondents in this study were 60 MSME owners/managers in the culinary sector in North Purwokerto. The data analysis method used multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS Statistics 23 with α 0.05. The results of this study indicate that business age, business turnover and accounting training affect the use of accounting information.
