The sample of this research is UKMs in Surabaya and Malang with the following criteria: at least they have started a business for 2 years. The sample size is 123 UKMs. The analytical technique used is the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis technique. Before testing the hypothesis, the validity and reliability tests are first carried out and show valid and reliable results. The results of hypothesis testing indicate that the financial attitude of UKMs has a significant effect on the application of management accounting, financial knowledge of UKMs has a significant effect on the application of management accounting and the application of management accounting has an effect on the performance of UKMs. Therefore, it is hoped that related parties, especially government agencies, need to provide intensive and varied training to UKM players on financial attitudes and knowledge, in addition to UKM players trying to develop their potential, especially in the field of financial attitudes and knowledge.
