Accountability

Accountability is a relational governance mechanism in which a designated actor has an obligation to inform, explain, and justify its conduct to a specific forum that can question, evaluate this conduct against agreed standards, and impose consequences, thereby linking the exercise of delegated authority to structured answerability and enforceability.
