Today’s Discussion

Defining Accountability

Albert EinsteinOnce Said

“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes

determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question;

I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.”

Brief Overview of Accountability

Responsibilities Frequently Become So Complex

Fact

That Some Activities Are Neglected

The Amount Of Duties That Must Be Performed

As New Responsibilities And Business Initiatives Are

Created
