ABSTRACT

Holistic accounting education is a function of not only the lectures and consumption of academic materials but more importantly, it is a function of all the practices and beliefs that collectively comprise an accounting culture. This study aimed to define and provide concrete context on the accounting culture of the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao. Forty-three Informants comprised of senior students enrolled in the accountancy program were interviewed in the study all under the umbrella of descriptive qualitative research design. Four (4) clustered themes emerged from the current study: (1) Accounting Culture manifested through Academic Competitiveness, (2) Accounting Culture manifested through the Strong Sense of Belongingness, (3) Positive Elements of the Accounting Culture and the (4) Negative Elements of the Accounting Culture. Furthermore, it is concluded that while there were several negative aspects in the existing accounting culture like a source of stress and social divide, the overall response of the Informants were in favor of accounting culture being perceived as an effective affair with respect to its being a gateway to holistic formation and the enhancement of student competence.
