[EDIT] My incorrect interpretation of parent comment who means accountability on an individual basis (see children).

I know where you are coming from but this level of extremely inclusive accountability would result in either: Everyone from the janitors to the legal team being held accountable for corporate tax evasion or: a company wide democracy on every decision that could potentially result in legally or morally grey outcomes.

IMO, in addition to individual accountability investigations, the company should be impeded somehow to make scapegoating a less attractive route (the hidden decision makers pushing other peoples buttons still get hurt by proxy).

Why would it be extremely inclusive? The janitor didn't choose to place the money in Ireland. As you go up in management, you typically see pay scale up, and the normal justification for this is that they hold more accountability. You expect more pay to offset the higher risk that a mistake or poor choice will hurt you. If the CFO approves the choice to do X, Y, and Z with the company's money, he should be held accountable on a moral level.

Why are we not allowed to have a minimum level of moral expectations for people just because they paid a small fee and registered under an LLC?

Hmm, I think I've misinterpreted your meaning of "Every human being in that company should be held accountable for their actions" I mistakenly related "their" to the company in the context of the article, but in light of your followup you clearly mean the individual. Anyway, we appear to agree :)
