accountibility: the quality or state of being accountable; especially : an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions

Accountability is a concept in ethics with several meanings. It is often used synonymously with such concepts as answerability, enforcement, responsibility, blameworthiness, liability and other terms associated with the expectation of account-giving. As an aspect of governance, it has been central to discussions related to problems in both the public and private (corporation) worlds.

Accountability is defined as "A is accountable to B when A is obliged to inform B about A’s (past or future) actions and decisions, to justify them, and to suffer punishment in the case of eventual misconduct" [1].

In leadership roles, accountability is the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for actions, products, decisions, and policies including the administration, governance and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position and encompassing the obligation to report, explain and be answerable for resulting consequences.

The U.S. army values soldiers that are accountable for their actions. Being accountable means being

dependable-arriving to work and appointments on time, meeting deadlines, being in the right place

at the right time, doing the right thing at the right time. Morning formation is the most important

formation of the day. It is made to get accountability of everyone and put out any information that

there needs to be dealt with. Without having accountability there is not knowing of where

everybody is or what's going on.
