In NI and ROI the term accountability has been a matter for debate but Ontario’s non-judgemental culture has been a success and as a result has broken down a trust barrier and provided room for camaraderie and collegiality’. This was created by forming top-down and bottom-up partnerships and staff seeing principals and senior leaders as co-learners rather than facilitators. Fullan states “when peers interact with purpose, they provide their own built-in accountability”. (Fullan, 2008,
Dr. Bartlett's presentation, the way he demonstrated the exponential math is honorably dazzling and charming about the private exponential improvement
Throughout my schooling career I have often taken on the role as a leader. Consequently, a great deal of power is placed upon my shoulders as I am often the one making the final decision. As such, I am always accountable for my actions and my group’s actions. Being the leader, if I am not accountable this creates a negative precedent showing the group that being accountable is not important. Thus, a group that is not accountable for their actions fails as no one is able to fess up to their mistake and move forward to a solution. I see this first hand when playing hockey. When a goal is scored, players will often blame the other players for the team’s failure. This causes issues because if no one is accountable for their actions then no change can be made and the system continues to fail. If the players became accountable they would be more effective in leading change and developing a better plan to prevent goals. This is on a small scale however, accountability effects much larger groups and leaders. If leaders are unable to be accountable, then their leadership is ineffective as they will never be able to move
One who takes responsibility for those who works under his or her authority needs to have accountability at all times.
The Importance of Accountability is so my chain of command knows where everyone is so if they need a soldier for something they will know where to find them. It is also necessary to have accountability to make sure everyone in my class, platoon, or unit is safe and to make sure they are where they are supposed to be.
Accountability is important, because without it, there's no where to place the blame when mistakes occur. In fact, accountability covers more than just blameworthiness; responsibility, answerability, and liability also come into question when discussing the importance of accountability. The very application of the word, describes a system, in which actions, decisions, and policies are all accounted for (or: kept track of, recorded, and assessed and evaluated). Accountability can even extend into the administration of new policies, that are rendered due to obsolete rules and regulations or just out-right compliancy issues; the governance of decisions that define expectations or verify one's performance-- as well as managing and guiding
Accountability makes no sense when it undermines the larger goals of education.” - Diane Ravitch
The importance of accountability and communication in the Military is so each and every personal is all on the same page. Also so our organization runs smooth. Communication is the heart of what makes the United States Army what it is today. Without communication vital information would not be passed down from the Chief of Command to a chain of Non Commissioned Officers to the soldiers. Not to mention, innocent lives would be in jeopardy, missions would be misconstrued, and simple information from NCO to soldier would be conflicted. The smallest amount of information is always imperative. For example, if a soldier goes out over the weekend and doesn’t inform anyone of he or she
Accountability: We will take responsibility for our work and its outcomes. Mistakes are acknowledged, not ignored or passed on, or blamed on others. We will demonstrate a personal commitment to our team members and ourselves.
Schafer and Panitch had differing views on the connection between responsibility and accountability, Schafer believed them to be inherently intertwined and Panitch stated that the Canadian public has lost faith in the accountability of the system. I personally agree with Panitch’s thoughts about Canadians as I do not believe that public officials are as accountable as they should be. Schafer makes the point that when trying to analyze the distinctions between these two qualities, instead of clarification we are left confused and muddled. As stated by Schafer on page 11, it is often difficult to determine who is to be held accountable when something goes wrong within a large organization. In this case, the person who is of the highest ranking
Accountability has become a key issue for many educational institutions across the country, and administrative policy decisions are frequently examined for effectiveness by a variety of educational board executives (Pieterse-Landman, 2012). There have been unpredictable events and changes in the socio-economic, political, technological, and organizational dimensions of leadership. The accelerated rate of change pose serious challenges and many established and growing educational organizations that try to anticipate and manage change effectively or meet the fate of being pushed
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the importance of accountability, communication, and timeliness because I was late to accountability formation. I need to be aware of what can happen when I make irresponsible decisions and how the repercussions can negatively affect me now, but also in the future.

In today’s society, the international trading constitutes an increasingly significant portion of the world economy than ever before. Having opened more subsidiaries in different countries and invested in foreign markets, companies and investors are more exposed to problems reading accounting records and auditing reports composed under different accounting principles. To better understand the reason behind the accounting diversity, we need to dig into countries’ different cultural background which imposes great influence on formation of accounting and auditing principles and ways people practice. This paper will analyze how culture affects financial reporting and auditing with the support of classic culture theories and facts.
The Center for Management and Organization Effectiveness (2016) stated that the reason many organizations fails is the leadership 's inability to establish and enforce accountability. When organizations establish accountability, work is efficient; and without it, procedures fail and policies are overlooked by staff (CMOE, 2016). As stated by CMOE (2016), personal accountability is a climate that is created when a leader consistently practices Behavior Must Equal Consequence. CMOE recommended for leaders in organizations to establish personal accountability. When staffs are not held accountable for their negative behavior, it drops the performance to the lowest level that could not be accepted.
Ethical culture creates shared values that enhanced the decision making process used by the employees to determine whether their actions are right or wrong.
