"pursuant to" must follow some other action. "Pursuant to the new regulations recently passed regarding bubble gum-blowing, no bubbles may be blown that exceed 3 inches in diameter."
"according to" is citing a reference. "According to the Bible, in the beginning was the Word."
"in accordance with" is "in line with", "in agreement with" -- "in accordance with your wishes, I will no longer quote the Bible while blowing bubbles."
