Accenture's origins trace back to the business and technology consulting division of accounting firm Arthur Andersen in the early 1950s. In 1989, Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting became separate units of Andersen Worldwide Société Coopérative (AWSC). Following a period of increasing tension and an arbitration settlement in 2000, Andersen Consulting broke all contractual ties with AWSC and Arthur Andersen and was required to change its name. On January 1, 2001, Andersen Consulting adopted the name "Accenture," derived from "Accent on the future." Accenture was incorporated in Bermuda in 2001 and became a public company with its initial public offering (IPO) on July 19, 2001. In 2009, Accenture changed its place of incorporation from Bermuda to Ireland. The company serves clients in various industries, including communications, media and technology, financial services, health and public service, consumer products, and resources. Accenture measures its success by the 360° value it creates for its clients, each other, its shareholders, partners, and communities.
