| DEPARTMENT CULTURE |
Culture - the assumptions, beliefs, values and norms that drive the way we do things and is the largest and most controlling of the systems because it affects not only open organisational behaviour but also shadow-side behaviour. Organisational culture can influence the performance of both the individual and the institution. The Trans Asia Accounts Department in a gradual way set some of these features rolling in order to develop a culture that is in line with the functions of an accounting department. 1. A flexible management style that is lead by example and combined with a style that adapts to changing situations. This style is commonly known as the Vanguard Leadership. 2. Maintaining discipline at the highest standards in whatever we do. 3. Instilling and upholding honesty and integrity at the highest levels without any exceptions. 4.

A unit called the Super League established amongst other objectives to improve physical fitness and develop team spirit through sports activities.
