This study investigated the level of bookkeeping awareness and the extent to which bookkeeping practices are applied among micro-enterprises in Poblacion, Candelaria, Quezon. Specifically, it evaluated how the demographic profile of the respondents, such as educational attainment, nature of business, years in operation, and source of bookkeeping knowledge, relates to their awareness and application of bookkeeping practices, which both included recording transactions, classifying recorded transactions, and data provision for the preparation of financial statements. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design to assess 153 micro-enterprise owners or managers selected through purposive sampling, using a validated, self-constructed survey questionnaire. Data gathered were analyzed using frequency and percentage distribution, median test, Goodman-Kruskal Gamma test, and Spearman’s rho correlation. Results revealed that both educational attainment and source of bookkeeping knowledge of the respondents have a significant relationship with all the bookkeeping components. At the same time, years in operation did not show any significant relationship with bookkeeping awareness in all aspects. The nature of business showed a significant relationship only with awareness of transaction recording. The application of bookkeeping practices showed varying relationships with the demographic profile of the respondents, with ‘classifying recorded transactions not being correlated with any of the demographic profiles. The level of bookkeeping awareness among micro-enterprise owners or managers was significantly associated with the extent to which they applied bookkeeping practices. The results underscore the need for continuous capacity-building initiatives. They are expected to assist educators and local government units in formulating targeted interventions that promote financial literacy and sustainable enterprise growth.
