In the US we call it Indictment.
Indictments are handed down by the Grand Jury which decides on the preliminary evidence and authorizes the District Attorney to prosecute the case.
Bill of Indictment is an archaic term in the US. I go to the courts several times a week as an interpreter. I\'m contantly hearing about indictments but I never heard the term \"Bill of Indictment\" mentioned.
An accusation is a general, non technical term, and is what an individual might do to point the finger at an alleged culprit. This may precede an Indictment.

The \"Charges\", in the US, are the specific laws that are alleged to have been violated. They are \"counts\" on the indictment.
