responsibility,一般來(lái)講翻譯為職責(zé)或責(zé)任（哪位大牛分析一下這兩者的區(qū)別）.
accountability,在原來(lái)的國(guó)標(biāo)中翻譯成可問(wèn)責(zé)性,也有的翻譯成可核查性,但是在此這樣翻譯有待商榷.
此外,在COBIT的管理指南中,有一個(gè)RACI圖,R代表“負(fù)責(zé)”(負(fù)責(zé)執(zhí)行任務(wù)的角色),A代表“監(jiān)控”（對(duì)任務(wù)負(fù)全責(zé)的角色）,C代表“輔助”（提供信息輔助任務(wù)實(shí)施的角色）,I代表“通告”（擁有既定特權(quán),應(yīng)及時(shí)得到通知的角色）.
個(gè)人建議.
The accountability is a term to describe when something went to wrong,who is the one we should blame.One can only be held accountable if the authority /power and resources are given but the job cannot be done properly.
If someone,for example a manager,is not offered any power and resource to finish a job,we can not blame anything to this guy.For instance,if a manager has no right to decide the price during a negotiation,and the negotiation leave him no time to ask her company,thus the order is lost,we should not blame him for not getting home an order.
Responsibility is something feeling from the bottom of your heart.If other department made something wrong,as a side viewer,you may feel guilty if you don’t tell them.In fact,this is not your job.We define this feeling “responsibility”
