The primary focus is to understand how this training contributes to improving accounting literacy, financial transparency, and institutional accountability.</p> <p><strong>Research Design and Methodology:</strong> This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by critically examining findings from various relevant scientific articles, both national and international. The analytical framework is based on the Community of Practice (CoP) approach, which emphasizes the importance of collaborative and contextual learning within communities of practitioners.</p> <p><strong>Findings and Discussion</strong>: The main findings indicate that accounting literacy in community organizations remains low, which has a negative impact on their financial management. Practical accounting training, such as cash recording and simple report preparation, has been proven to increase awareness of transparency and shape a culture of collective accountability. The social and participatory learning process strengthens the community's identity as an entity capable of managing its finances independently.</p> <p><strong>Implications:</strong> This study provides practical contributions to local governments, educational institutions, and community empowerment agencies in developing more adaptive training programs based on local needs. The Community Accounting School model offered can be widely replicated to strengthen community institutional capacity sustainably.</p> Muslim Muslim Yaya Sonjaya Septyana Prasetianingrum Copyright (c) 2025 Muslim Muslim, Yaya Sonjaya, Septyana Prasetianingrum https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-09-16 2025-09-16 3 2 50 62 10.60079/acsr.v3i2.628 http://advancesinresearch.id/index.php/ACSR/article/view/498 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> To develop a strategic framework that enhances service innovation within South African medical schemes by examining micro- and macro-level factors influencing innovation capacity and competitiveness, addressing the need for accessible and affordable healthcare.</p> <p><strong>Research Design and Methodology:</strong> A literature review guided by Willie’s Service Innovation Enabler (WSIE) framework was conducted, drawing on peer-reviewed articles, policy documents, and case studies relevant to South Africa’s healthcare system, focusing on digital transformation and regulatory trends.</p> <p><strong>Findings and Discussion</strong>: Key enablers included leadership support, favorable regulation, and scheme size. Smaller schemes leveraged technologies like telemedicine effectively. COVID-19 accelerated digital adoption, though regulatory complexity and organizational resistance often impeded innovation efforts.</p> <p><strong>Implications:</strong> Leadership-driven innovation strategies, supported by digital tools, are essential for improving service delivery. Supportive policy environments and further research are needed to assess long-term impacts on patient outcomes while addressing internal barriers to change within medical schemes.</p> Michael Mncedisi Willie Copyright (c) 2025 Michael Mncedisi Willie https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-08-31 2025-08-31 3 2 63 77 10.60079/acsr.v3i2.498
