✔ 最佳答案
accounting for 不是會計班的

是一個phrase:account for的gerund

account for意思是由於/解譯一件事。

這句with late or non-delivery of classes accouting for 74 of them.意思是
當中(97個投訴中)有74個是由於(因為)班次安排延誤或缺班。

下次見到account for/accounted for/accounting for可以試解為「由於」「因為」「關乎」「解釋」而跟會計或計算沒有關係的。

This means there are 74 yoga courses which were either started later than the original scheduled starting date, or have not started at all.

to the person above -- how does 會計班 relate to Yoga???
