report to
Work under someone
Report to indicates a hierarchical relationship—the person you report to is your supervisor or boss: She reports directly to the CEO.
It can also mean presenting yourself at a location: Report to the front desk when you arrive.
In both senses, there's an element of accountability or obligation to appear or answer to someone.
