No. of Words: 1732
Introduction
Accountability is the evidence of good administration where every individual involved in an organisation or setting understands his responsibilities and works accordingly. Accountability dose not have any particular setting as every association has the liberty to make appropriate rules and standards.

Griffith and Tengnah (2010) has highlighted this point by recognizing that being responsible healthcare worker we are legitimately and expertly responsible for our act or conduct if an individual is following orders from anyone else responsible for it or not or is their creativity being utilised or not.
