duty of reporting
I wouldn't go with accountability. It doesn't seem to fit the context.
Another option could be 'duty of disclosure', although it might have other legal meanings.

: Too literal. Disclosure = giluy, and has specific legal implications which the context does not justify.

Comment: "Maybe I did not explain enough the context or maybe I am missing something, but this answer seems to me most appropriate for my text.
In my legal dictionaries I have found that, for example, khovat ha-gilui = DUTY of disclosure, khovat ha-zehirut=DUTY of care, so analogically, khovat divuax is DUTY of something.
I have checked both "duty of notification" and "duty of reporting" in Google and found that in contexts when inferiors report to their superiors, "duty of reporting" is widely used.
Thanks to all who answered and commented,
Irina.

Duty of notification
Duty of notification.
Connection/Context: During the past years the number of analysis tools increased, and a duty of notification was introduced.

The context is slim, but I understood it as referring to the duty of medical or lab personnel of some kind to report on specific phenomena discovered.

: Accountability has to do with being accountable for one's actions...There's not enough room here to explain properly. As for your Avneyon reference, it's not the right context - see the (mem)(peh)(shin) after the translation and look at bottom of page!

Thanks Sue. You should refer to Random and not Avnion

: If accountable means "subject to the obligation to report" as you quote, then accountability does not mean the obligation to report but rather the state of being subject to such an obligation.

hovat divuach is simply a reporting obligation
diagnostic tools have increased in number in recent years, and there exists a reporting obligation....
this would be the generally accepted accounting term

notification requirement
In this context, divu'akh is not reporting but notification, and khova is not duty but requirement (in the idiomatic English phrase used in the context).

Reporting duty (and perhaps even reporting obligation) would tend to imply \'khovat hityatzvut\': you report somewhere = mityatzvim be-makom kolshehu.

Erez is accusing me of \'attacking\' him. Is it a reading comprehension problem, or lack of familiarity with the meaning of the word \'attack\'? I did not \'attack\' anyone; I made a linguistic point, based on a great deal of experience in translating medical and legal texts where the terms \'accountability\' and \'notification\' and so on occur. The former is simply wrong in the context, and I will continue to point out such errors notwithstanding people like him making snide, far-fetched, pointless and unfounded accusations.
His claim below that \'it is obligatory, not a requirement\' [sic] says volumes about his grasp of the concepts involved.

: Sorry but you are missing the point here. It is legal term and it is obligatory. Not a requirement

And you clearly don't know what the word 'requirement' means. Do you translate into English? No?

an obligation to report
This is a very definite phrase leaving one with no doubt that failure to report would result in detriment or sanctions. The key word here is "obligation."
