Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Court proceedings challenging the analysis
Stamped water-rights analysis report
Balancing with
Conflict of Interest Recusal Obligation
Loyalty
Private-to-Public Employment Transition Conflict Obligation
Concrete expression
Engineer A's professional accountability for the stamped water-rights analysis persists after his departure from the private firm; he cannot disclaim responsibility for the technical conclusions in the report merely because he has changed employers, and must be prepared to account for his professional judgment if the document's adequacy is challenged
Confidence
0.85
Importance
high
Interpretation
Professional accountability here requires Engineer A to acknowledge his role in the stamped document and to be truthful about the technical basis of its conclusions — but does not require him to act as an advocate for the former client's position in adversarial proceedings against his current employer
Invoked by

Tension resolution
Accountability for the technical work is satisfied by Engineer A's willingness to explain and defend the analysis on its technical merits; it does not extend to adversarial advocacy that would conflict with his duties to his current employer
