Bill has the skill and the responsibility (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accountability

'the responsibility' is the definition.
(accountability is a kind of responsibility)

'bill has the skill' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'account' ('account' can be a synonym of 'bill').
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'the skill' becomes 'ability' (I've seen this before).
'account'+'ability'='ACCOUNTABILITY'

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for accountability that I've seen is " Responsibility, state of being answerable".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
