History
Initially called Andersen Consulting, Accenture
was formally established in 1989 when a group of partners from
the Consulting division of the various Arthur Andersen firms
around the world formed a new organization focused on consulting
and technology services related to managing large-scale systems
integration and enhancing business processes.
Accenture changed its name from Andersen
Consulting in 2001 after severing ties from its parent company
Arthur Andersen. The company went public on the NYSE in April,
2001.
In June 2009, the company was incorporated in Ireland from Bermuda.
