Abstract: This study aims to evaluate villages' readiness called Nagari in West Sumatra, Indonesia, in implementing the smart village. The research involved 928 Nagari in the province. However, 208 Nagari were excluded because of no internet network. Questionnaires were distributed to 720 Nagari with a 25.56% response rate. The Nagari readiness variable was measured using a five-Likert scale using the TOE Framework. TOE can predict the availability of technology, organisational resources, and the environment around the organisation. The results showed that to implement the smart village, Nagari in West Sumatra still needs more improvements in information technology and human resources capability. However, the culture of the Nagari is adequate to achieve the smart village. This research contributes to the knowledge of accounting and management information systems practice. The result of the study will also be valuable for villages' management and West Sumatera Province policymakers, IT practitioners, and researchers to help Nagari implementing the smart village.
