	The Next Generation of Basic Education Accountability in Alberta, Canada
		Ministry officials expended considerable effort beginning in early 1999 to demonstrate that the accountability relationship between school boards and the Ministry was indeed a two-way process, i.e., a process that empowered school jurisdictions to influence provincial planning and priorities for basic education, rather than solely a mechanism for the province to monitor jurisdiction results.
		In this school system, the provincial examinations are recognized as serving a very useful purpose in terms of providing a benchmark and useful information for teachers in analyzing the success of the programs and educational experiences they are providing their students.
		Accountability processes must also appreciate the complexity of the learning and teaching process and recognize that one cannot quantify all that is important in providing students with a well-rounded education.

	Charter Accountability Appendices
		The Accountability Plan is the mechanism through which the school indicates the goals (outcomes) and performance levels it elects to be held accountable for attaining.

		And while schools are held accountable to many constituents— parents, the community, their board, the state, etc.—none are as important as the student.

	FRB: Speech, Meyer -- The politics of monetary policy: Balancing independence and accountability -- October 24, 2000
		On the other hand, it appears that elected officials in many countries apparently understood the incentives under which they operate and have structured charters for their central banks that, in effect, tie their own hands--that is, limit political interference with monetary policy to enhance the prospects of achieving and maintaining price stability.
		Implicit in being accountable is being subject to discipline from whomever you are accountable to for the failure to live up to your responsibilities.
		But accountability is the critical mechanism for ensuring both that the central bank is operated in a way consistent with democratic ideals and that the central bank operates under incentives to meet its legislative mandate for monetary policy.

		That contemporary German officials, in marked contrast to the behavior of their forbears, have proven remarkably adept at working within international institutions toward the obtaining of their goals should not blind us to the fact that these goals are inimical to the preservation of the U.N. system in its classical form.
