Note
The plural turns a mass noun into a list. Accountability usually names a state, being answerable or liable to give an account, and so takes no plural. Pluralized, it counts the separate duties a person must answer for, such as an officer's obligation to keep accurate records of property, documents or funds. Use the plural when listing specific responsibilities; for the general idea of answerability, keep the singular.
