When I hire an accounting clerk their is a “job descrpition” and I do want them to take “responsiblity” for their work. What decision rights do they need to properly reconcile a bank account?

Interesting that you would choose accountancy as your example.

When companies start gaining and losing market share, complying with OSHA standards, maintaining critical infrastructure, and developing new products/processes, based on their high standard of bean-counting, I'll take your point.

Duh, it wasn’t an example. I have a staff of 10 full time and 3 part time.
