Accountability is an assurance that
an individual or an organization will be evaluated on their performance
or behavior related to something for which they are responsible. Corporate accountability involves being answerable to all an organization's stakeholders for all actions and results.
Accountability is not a form of punishment. ... The word “accountable” means answerable for actions or decisions. To hold someone accountable means the person is being asked to explain why they did (or didn't do) something. In our personal lives, we hold people accountable all the time.
