Can you be held accountable for not reporting someone violating parole?

Not unless you are required to do so by law. Parole stipulations are not typically laws, they are administrative rules. While they carry with them the authority of law, they do so only for those who are required to live under them, the parolee. The decision to report a parole violator is entirely yours. It is a moral decision you must make.
Parole stipulations, the conditions that make a parolee a parole violator if he breaks them, are not criminal statues; that is they are not laws.
So, unless the violation committed is actually an instance of criminal activity, there is nothing with which you can be charged. If the violation is criminal activity, and you neither report it nor do you provide information to investigating law enforcement officers, you could then be charged with Impeding and Investigation or worse.
