Individual accountability refers to the principle where specific persons, particularly those in leadership or operational capacities, are held responsible for their actions or inactions within an organization or project. This applies to legal, ethical, and operational outcomes, especially within regulated or high-stakes environments. The aim is to prevent misconduct and ensure strict adherence to established standards. This fosters responsible governance.

Regulators are increasingly seeking to identify and prosecute key personnel for compliance lapses or fraudulent activities. This pursuit aims to establish clear lines of responsibility and deter future malfeasance.
The Department of Justice's policy shift prioritizes individual culpability in crypto, reducing criminal prosecution risk for good-faith platform operations.
