Explanation:

Delegation-

The act of delegating involves giving someone else the right to carry out certain tasks (often from a boss to a subordinate). One of the fundamental ideas of management leadership, delegation is the process of giving tasks to someone else.

Responsibility-

• Responsibility denotes the responsibilities a person has been given inside an organisation.
• It is the responsibility of a subordinate to carry out the task as directed by his superior.
• It is an ongoing responsibility.
• When a task is delegated, both the management and the person receiving the delegation are accountable for seeing it through to completion.
• While the individual receiving the delegation must determine how the assignment should be carried out, the manager is responsible for giving directions on what work needs to be done.
• As a result, a leader is accountable for the operation over which they have been granted power.

Accountability-

• In an organisation, a person who is given a task is held accountable and required to fulfil the assignment as expected.
• Even if there are multiple layers below them in the hierarchy, that person is nonetheless accountable for the activities of the individuals or group that they are in charge of.
• The individual liable must properly inform his superiors of the work completed, provide an explanation of any reasons for underperformance, and accept full responsibility for the decisions made.
• When a task is delegated, responsibility for completing it shifts from the management to the individual who is receiving the delegation. Any positive or negative effects linked to their performance are ultimately their responsibility. They are accountable for carrying out the tasks they have been given.
• While the manager is ultimately responsible for the employee's overall performance, accountability simply implies that the subordinate must provide any explanations for poor or absent performance.

Hence, from the above discussion we can conclude that Accountability can not be delegated while Responsibility can not be delegated  completely.
