This one is simple to be held accountable is to take responsabiity for something, so in your paragraph the business combinations were responsible for using whichever methods they used. Basically people were made aware that the business combinations were using such methods. Remember the word accountable, it is used frequently in business, but don't confuse it with accounting/accountant.
