The principle of accountability requires to demonstrate to be compliant with the GDPR and states that it is the liability of the controller and the processor.
The accountability is demonstrated by:

2. maintenance and updating of the Records of processing activities
3. where required or on a voluntary basis, appoint a Data Protection Officer
4. internal audits and constant governance of the procedures issued
5. principle of data protection by design and by default
6. where appropriate, carrying out a data protection impact assessment (impact assessment)
7. maintenance of records of data breaches
8. adherence to a code of conduct or to a mechanism of certification.
