A contraction of the phrase ‘ Accent on the future ’, Accenture as it ’ s known today was formed in January 2001 . But its history , like many on this list , stretches back to the mid-20th century , when it began life as a division of Arthur Andersen , the former Big Five accountancy firm whose reputation was tarnished in a high profile legal tussle in the early 2000s and has since splintered into several smaller companies .
Today , Accenture employs more than half a billion professionals worldwide , operating from 200 offices across 51 countries . Its consulting division provides services in technology , business and management , though the wider group offers strategy services , interactive media and marketing , research on emerging technologies and more . It was ranked number three on Refinitiv ’ s Diversity and Inclusion Index , and was named the 34th most admired company in the world by Fortune . supplychaindigital . com 121
