As per available reports about 642 journals, 3101 Conferences, workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to accountability and about 1517 articles are being published on the current trends in accountability. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to accountability are being carried out. As reported in 1517 articles, in ethics and governance, accountability is answerability, blameworthiness, liability, and the expectation of account-giving. As an aspect of governance, it has been central to discussions related to problems in the public sector, non-profit and private (corporate) worlds. 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.

In governance, accountability has expanded beyond the basic definition of "being called to account for one's actions". It is frequently described as an account-giving relationship between individuals, e.g. "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". Accountability cannot exist without proper accounting practices; in other words, an absence of accounting means an absence of accountability.

The obligation forced by law on an officer or other person for keeping accurate record of property, documents. The person having this obligation may or may not have actual control of the property, documents, or funds.
