Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Organisation and administration - Miscellaneous, grade: A-, Ottawa University, course: Principles of Public Administration, language: English, abstract: Accountability is the essence of the democratic form of government. Accountability is the liability assumed by all those who exercise authority where there has been responsibilities delegated; ultimately, a liability owed to all citizens by the government and subsequently, every government department and agency. Since Canada is a representative democracy, it is responsible for good governance but accountable for its actions, whether or not the two coincide.
