sso provides attribution?

Hi;

I come across with this phrase, "Authentication, Authorization and Attribution are the three most vital properties sought for by service providers on the web"

I know SSO provides authentication and authorization but my question is that what about attribution? Does SSO provide attribution? Can you give me an example?

Basic SSO is just authentication (ctrl-alt-del, enter password)
Authorisation is like file and share permissions
Accounting is logs kept from either (like security event log)

There is a lot of variety between products, bus SSO does not add per se access auditing/accounting, it is just modification of authentication.
