Answer 1

b.accountability principle

Step-by-step explanation:

Accountability principle states that a person should be responsible for their actions, products, decisions, and policies in administration and governance.

It is answerability, blameworthiness, liability, and the responsibility to give account of actions within one's jurisdiction. It entails taking ownership of consequences of one's actions.

In internal control accountability acts as a deterrent for noncompliance to laid down procedures, as each person is answerable for his failing in implementing organisation policies.
