Profile AccentureGlobal consulting and technology giant Accenture has booked its 13th consecutive year of growth, lifting its revenue to over $64 billion in its latest financial year. The Strategy & Consulting division realised revenues of $14 billion, while Operations contributed $10 billion to the overall total. In Europe, growth was up 11% in local currency terms to $21.3 billion, with the firm’s Growth Markets division the fastest grower (12%). Accenture traces its roots to professional services giant Arthur Andersen, operating as the firm’s business and technology consulting division from the early 1950s. In the 1990s, Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting went separate ways, and in 2001, Andersen Consulting continued as an entirely independent business following an IPO.
