Accountability

What is generally lacking in the chambers of Congress and the boardrooms of Fortune 500 corporations!

Kenneth Lay- Let's just see if we can blow up this corporation while getting silly-rich in the process.
Junior Accountant- But sir, what about the thousands of employee retirement funds? Are you aware of corporate accountability?
Kenneth Lay- (Silence... Crickets humming...) Umm, I just bought a new Maybach...

Accountability

Noun:
A word lacking a definite meaning. Often used in conjunction with the words "regulation", "greed", and "oversight" (all of which have equally vague definitions) on major news networks to elicit emotional responses from their braindead viewers.

Talking Head 1: I think that the greed on Wall Street, selfish people who make money, and the lack of oversight by the government are to blame for the failing economy.

Talking Head 2: Yeah! We need more accountability!

Hollywood Accounting

The act of intentionally, maliciously, and unethically, screw someone out of compensation from rightful gains. It originates from the early days of film production when studios would use accountants to give credited actors/actresses and production crew the bare minimum amount of compensation based off of box office sales.

Actor 1: Hey, why did I only receive $15,000 for a key role in a film that grossed over $7,000,000!?

Actor 2: HA! Hollywood Accounting strikes again!

Toxic Accountability

When an individual, typically a leader or supervisor, is held accountable for elements within an organization of which he/she has little to no control, and so initiates mitigating measures that are counter productive to the health and success of the organizations a whole.

The abundance of toxic accountability within the organization was so wide-spread, that it threatened to destroy the company as a whole.
