ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability is the obligation of an individual or organization to account
for its activities, accept responsibility for them, and to disclose the results in a
transparent manner.
TRANSPARENCY
STEWARDSHIP
In Biblical terms, stewardship is defined as utilizing and managing all
resources God provides for the glory of God and the betterment of His creation.
That definition plays a critical role in today’s business landscape. In the context
of business organization, stewardship refers to taking responsibility for the
business and the effects it has on the world around it. This involves considering
more than just the bottom line and looking at elements such as values, ethics,
and morals
