rekening en verantwoording afleggen
De beheerder legt ter zake van de vereffening rekening en verantwoording af aan de participanten in vergadering bijeen alvorens de beschikbare middelen, onder aftrek van kosten en lasten van het Fonds, pro rata parte aan de participanten worden uitgekeerd en het Fonds wordt opgeheven.
It is taken from a clause in a series of conditions for fund management and relates specifically to the liquidation section. I am not really sure whether it means the manager passes responsibility onto the clients or takes it on himself which is obviously pretty important here. I imagine it is quite a common expression in these types of document but I have never come across it before. I found the whole way the sentence was phrased and structured rather unwieldy too so any help or suggestions will be gratefully received.

Bedankt Lianne. Of geinspireerd door jouw link (zie note to asker) 'verifiable accountability' :-) // Indeed, 'detailed' or 'full' accountability seems to be more common and will do in the given context.
