Accountability and Transparency
Accountability and transparency are essential principles in governance and organizations. Accountability means that individuals or entities are responsible for their actions and decisions, and they must explain and justify them when needed. Transparency refers to the openness and accessibility of information, allowing stakeholders to see how decisions are made and how resources are used. Together, they foster trust and confidence, ensuring that leaders and organizations act in the public interest, adhere to ethical standards, and allow for scrutiny to prevent corruption or mismanagement.
