Just create a Business rule with Scope as Entity. As it will enable BR during server side execution.

Entity level business rule.

If you are facing issue with BR during import or web api validations then go ahead with the workflow.

You can use the Real Time Workflow, On Create - Trigger After Record Created, Logic, If the Account ID Does not Contain Data Then Cancel Workflow and Throw Error that Account ID is Mandatory, On Front End you have already made it Business Required Field and On Back End Real Time Workflow will not allow the Record to be created without Data in Account ID field.
