Abstract: Accountability is the soul of charitable organization. However, the current domestic charitable scandals emerge in an endless stream, which not only seriously attack the holy image of charitable organizations in public, but also affect the long-term development of charitable organization. Therefore, researching on the loss of accountability of charitable organizations has important significance on theory and practice. By and large, domestic and foreign scholars focus the study on the 4 aspects: connotation of accountability of charitable organizations, the causes of loss of accountability, its evaluation criteria of accountability and measures to reshape. These studies provide us a good academic foundation to think of the loss of accountability of charitable organizations and reshape the public image of charitable organizations.
