Companies are made accountable if there are human lives at stake. Most of the time there isn't (if there's a bug in some accountancy software which requires the accountant to restart the program, the accountant's life is not at stake) but wasn't there that software bug in one of the Toyota cars (Prius I believe?), where the brakes didn't work anymore under certain conditions? I remember Toyota had to take all those cars back in and had law suits against them, so they were certainly made accountable for the software they wrote for that car.
