The principle of accountability is a principle by which specific action can be traced back to:

A.
A policy

B.
An individual

C.
A group

D.
A manager

Explanation:
The principle of accountability has been described in many references; it is a principle by which
specific action can be traced back to an individual. As mentioned by Idrach, any significant action
should be traceable to a specific user. The definition of “Significant” is entirely dependant on your
business circumstances and risk management model. It was also mentioned by Rino that tracing the
actions of a specific user is fine but we must also be able to ascertain that this specific user was
responsible for the uninitiated action.
