They are very close. However, I believe that Pronunciation is related to words (For example: How do you prnounce this word 'Flash'?). On the other hand, Accent is related to a certain language/dilact (For example: He has a strong Irish accent.)

Pronunciation is how one says a word or the sounds of syllables. Syllables and words have standard pronunciations. An accent is a regional or international difference in how one pronounces those "standard" sounds. For example, a southern American may pronounce "get" slightly differently than a northern American. This difference in pronunciation of the sounds is called an accent. I speak American English with a "southern" accent. A Chinese person will pronounce English words a little different than an American because they are not familiar with our sounds, so they will speak English with a "Chinese accent". Indians speak English with an "Indian accent". To Americans, British people speak English with a "British accent". To British people, Americans speak English with an "American accent".
