If an account is granted Full control to something, file or folder,
or if they create it so that they become the Owner of it, then that
account can manage the permissions of the file or folder.

I hope that gives you some hints. IOW the definitive way to
prevent this is to not grant more than change/modify and to not
allow "other" accounts to own the files/folders.

To allow accounts to create new objects but not give aways
ownership you must cook a homegrown solution, such as a
nightly script that hunts for items not owned by Administrators
and changes the owner of them.

To make sure that all permissions within an area are just so,
unaltered by owners of objects within the area, you can use
a File System definition in a GPO, or you can just check each
object that the solution you cook finds needing owner change
since if you do not grant more than change on the area then it
is only these objects that might need to have there permissions
reset.
