o agreed-upon defined responsibility (defined responsibilities are decided between the parties so that decisions and actions can be taken by the one who is accountable)
o delegate or confer authority (those with the authority to take action can delegate to others)
o answerability (those who are accountable, answer for decisions and actions, and justify and explain them; answers may be public ones)

o sanction/correction (requirement for correcting for unmet standard of performance)
Examples of each element will vary.
