Introduction/Main Objectives: Digital payment systems are increasingly advanced along with the many marketplaces and digital platforms that provide convenience in trade transactions, including the use of Shopee Pay, Go-Pay, and Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS). This study aims to determine the moderation of human resource competencies in digital payment systems and internal control systems for the preparation of financial reports for Batik MSMEs in Tegal Regency.

If HR competencies in the use of information technology and financial recording are inadequate, this can lead to problems with the accuracy and reliability of financial reports. Therefore, improving training and understanding of technology for HR is key to optimizing the use of digital payments and producing accurate and standardized financial reports.

While data analysis techniques consist of descriptive statistics, validity tests, reliability tests, and normality tests .
Findings/Results: The results The simultaneous ANOVA test of 0.000 < 0.005 shows that HR competency moderates the digital payment variable and internal control has an effect on the Financial Report Preparation variable.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the simultaneous test of equation 1 of 0.000 < 0.005, it states that the variables of digital payments and internal control have an effect on the variables of financial report preparation and the results of the simultaneous test of equation 2 of 0.000 < 0.005 indicate that HR competence moderates the variables of digital payments and internal control on the influence of the variables of financial report preparation.
