From Discussion:

Accountability is the obligation to take responsibility for actions and to demonstrate that actions are completed satisfactorily. The responsible party agrees to perform certain actions or to produce certain deliverables. Accountability means that some mechanism must exist for showing that accepted responsibilities are carried out and to what extent they are successful. Metrics or reporting mechanisms may become elements of interoperable systems demonstrating the shared objectives have been satisfied.
