The culture of an organization reflects its performance. Stakeholders who are direct beneficiaries of the Ghana Education Service have often complained of receiving poor service delivery from the organization. Using the Head Office of the organization in Accra, the researcher investigated whether the organization's culture had any relationship with the performance. With both interviews and questionnaires, core areas of the organization such as: Mission, Ethics andAccountability, External Environment, Strategic Planning and Management, Organizational Structure, Leadership and Management, Human Resource Management, Internal and External Communication, Financial Management, Evaluation and Performance Management and Information Technology were assessed. Five divisions of the organization were used for the study. The findings of the study were that the existing culture does not mirror the preferred culture; it was also established that the organization's culture and performance have a mutually reciprocating relationship. The study showed that the current level of performance could be improved if support systems in the area of finance, staff and technology are enhanced. Furthermore the organization should encourage shared leadership and give credit to others when they do the right things. Staff need to be trained in information technology so they can be current in the use of the technology. Keywords: Organizational culture; Organizational performance; Organization development.

The decrease of the number of students enrolling in the StudyProgram (Prodi), the accreditation result of Prodi, the duration of student studyand the absorption of alumni are the factors of Prodi performance that have notbeen achieved yet according to the purpose of the Institution. The problem ispointed out that only the utilization of information technology has not beenevenly distributed both to lecturers and employees, to unorganized organizational climate, and performance management that has not been effectively implemented. Based on these phenomena, the purpose of this study is to obtain theresults of the study and analysis of the study program performance model affected by management performance with the help of utilization of informationtechnology and organizational climate.Research approach is quantitative.

 In Nigeria, cultural contents have continued to be explored in relation to their typologies, taxonomies and social value. Some folklore materials are disappearing due to modernisation and globalisation, leaving marginal communities to turn to alien models, some of which are not effective or accessible. The desire for a community-based model is weak as it is considered primitive and inferior to contemporary existence. Folklorists are too few with too little research wherewithal to carry out an extensive and broad-based study on oral art forms and their continued relevance to society. An ironic hybrid and interdisciplinary connectivity exists between folklore and multimedia as cultural materials adopt modern technologies, which an in-depth study could bring to light. This article, using the contextual perspective of analysis, examines ways in which folklore materials could continue to be explored even in their dynamic new multimedia “homes” such as music, photography, moving images, audio, computer, and broadcast media, thus creating new narrative and performance spaces other than the oral and the literary, and a new interface between folklore and modern technology life. The article proposes the undertaking of enhanced research into the hidden dimensions of folklore and the re-fashioning of cultural thought, science and technology, in line with cultural and global trends towards enhanced knowledge and development.

Twenty First Century

Every aspect of the accounting profession is being pervasively affected by advances in information technology (IT). IT shifts power from producers (such as accountants and auditors) to consumers (such as investors, creditors, and other information users). Present and potential users of accounting and auditing services have increasing needs for relevant, reliable, and timely information, and IT provides the means to meet them. But responding to these needs will require changes in virtually every aspect of auditing—where it is applied and how it is produced and distributed, for example, as well as the profession's relations with assurance users. This article explores some of the principal changes in the audit paradigm that will be necessary in order to meet assurance-user needs in the future.
