The Accountability system contributes to DoD’s overall performance by monitoring and evaluating the results of agency human capital management policies, programs, and activities; by analyzing compliance with merit system principles; and by identifying and monitoring necessary program improvements.

The Accountability Directorate purposely aligns to DoD strategies, seeks quick wins, and long-term solutions to modernize the policy, data, and oversight landscape. Through internal and external partnerships we strive to promote a process that is transparent, informs policy decisions, advances technology, encourages talent development, and leverages accountability throughout the Enterprise. Accountability integrates DoD’s power of three - Deliver Talent, Maximize Employee Performance and Transform HR.
