**Affirmed position.** Accountability and Corporate Governance presents the following source proposition: Although it is a pivotal concept in many fields, accountability remains an elusive concept - close to but different from responsibility. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Existing proposals for implementing contingent capital do not explain how they would address the information asymmetries and principal and agent problems that may lie at the core of the credit crisis. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
