If accountable means responsible, then (mas'uuliyya) will not be a bad word
to render 'accountability', but everything will of course depend on the
context.  The word (damiriyya) does not exist, although I will not be
surprised if it is being advanced somewhere as a new coinage.  I cannot see
a connection between (damiir) and being accountable, however.

Dear Alan,
The Arabic translation of "Accountability" is: musaa'alah.
