Numerous approaches, techniques and institutions are involved in the process of maintaining and assuring accountability. New institutional arrangements are constantly being brought into play to ensure that accountability is maintained. Accountability, from this viewpoint, becomes the focal prerequisite of good governance. This applies not only to governmental institutions but also the private sector and civil society organizations, which must be accountable to the public and respective institutional stakeholders. - Reproduced.  aAccountability  aGood governance  aPublic administration  aSrivastava, Mridul  aIndian Journal of Public Administration
