Manager At Accenture Salary

History[edit]

Formation and early years[edit]

Accenture began as the business and technology consulting division of accounting firm Arthur Andersen^[13] in the early 1950s when it conducted a feasibility study for General Electric to install a computer at Appliance Park in Louisville, Kentucky,^[14] which led to GE's installation of a UNIVAC I computer and printer,^[15] believed to be the first commercial use of a computer in the U.S.^[16]Joseph Glickauf, an early pioneer of computer consulting, held a position as head of Arthur Andersen's administrative services division.^[14]

Split from Arthur Andersen[edit]

In 1989, Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting became separate units of Andersen Worldwide Société Coopérative (AWSC). Throughout the 1990s, there was increasing tension between Andersen Consulting and Arthur Andersen. Andersen Consulting was paying Arthur Andersen up to 15% of its profits each year (a provision of the 1989 split was that the more profitable unit – whether AA or AC – pay the other the 15 percent), while at the same time Arthur Andersen was competing with Andersen Consulting through its own newly established business consulting service line called Arthur Andersen Business Consulting (AABC). This dispute came to a head in 1998 when Andersen Consulting put the 15% transfer payment for that year and future years into escrow and issued a claim for breach of contract against AWSC and Arthur Andersen. In August 2000, as a result of the conclusion of arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce, Andersen Consulting broke all contractual ties with AWSC and Arthur Andersen. As part of the arbitration settlement, Andersen Consulting paid the sum held in escrow (then $1.2 billion) to Arthur Andersen, and was required to change its name, resulting in the entity being renamed Accenture.^[17]

Emergence of Accenture[edit]

On 1 January 2001, Andersen Consulting adopted its current name, 'Accenture'. The word 'Accenture' is derived from 'Accent on the future'. The name 'Accenture' was submitted by Kim Petersen, a Danish employee from the company's Oslo, Norway office, as a result of an internal competition. Andersen felt that the name should represent its will to be a global consulting leader and high performer, and also intended that the name should not be offensive in any country in which Accenture operates.^[18]

On 19 July 2001, Accenture's initial public offering (IPO) was priced at $14.50 per share, and the shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE); Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley served as its lead underwriters. Accenture stock closed the day at $15.17, with the day's high at $15.25. On the first day of the IPO, Accenture raised nearly $1.7 billion.^[19]

2000s: Bermuda headquarters[edit]

In October 2002, the Congressional General Accounting Office (GAO) identified Accenture as one of four publicly traded federal contractors that were incorporated in a tax haven.^[20] The other three, unlike Accenture, were incorporated in the United States before they re-incorporated in a tax haven, thereby lowering their US taxes. Critics, most notably former CNN journalist Lou Dobbs,^[21] have reported Accenture's decision to incorporate in Bermuda as a US tax avoidance ploy, because they viewed Accenture as having been a US-based company.^[22] The GAO itself did not characterize Accenture as having been a US-based company; it stated that 'prior to incorporating in Bermuda, Accenture was operating as a series of related partnerships and corporations under the control of its partners through the mechanism of contracts with a Swiss coordinating entity.'^[23]

Accenture engaged in an IT overhaul project for the National Health Service (NHS) in 2003, making headlines when it withdrew from the contract in 2006 over disputes related to delays and cost overruns.^[24] The government of the United Kingdom ultimately abandoned the project five years later for the same reasons.^[25]

2010s: Ireland headquarters and recent history[edit]

Accenture announced on 26 May 2009 that its board of directors unanimously approved changing the company's place of incorporation from Bermuda to Ireland and would become Accenture plc.^[26]

In 2012 it was revealed Accenture was paying only 3.5% in tax in the United Kingdom, compared to the average rate of 24%.^[27]

Accenture was chosen to replace CGI Group as the lead contractor for HealthCare.gov in January 2014.^[28] In December 2014, Accenture won a $563 million contract to provide ongoing maintenance, software development and technology support for HealthCare.gov through 2019.^[29]

In July 2015, the United States Department of Defense awarded a major Electronic Health Records contract to Cerner, Leidos and Accenture. The contract valued $4.33 billion will serve 55 hospitals and 600 clinics. Accenture Federal Services and Leidos will play the role of configuration specialist, while Cerner is the prime contractor.^[30]

On 29 August 2017, Apple Inc. announced a partnership with Accenture to create iOS business solutions.^[31]

In June 2018, Accenture generated controversy over the amount the firm has been charging to recruit 7,500 Customs and Border Protection officers. Under the $297 million contract, Accenture had been charging the US Government nearly $40,000 per hire, which is more than the annual salary of the average officer.^[32] According to a report published by the DHS Office of Inspector General in December 2018, Accenture had been paid $13.6M through the first ten months of the contract. They had hired two agents against a contract goal of 7,500 hires over 5 years. The report was issued as a 'management alert', indicating an issue requiring immediate attention, stating that 'Accenture has already taken longer to deploy and delivered less capability than promised'.^[33]

In January 2019, CEO Pierre Nanterme stepped down from his position, citing health reasons. Twenty days after stepping down, Nanterme died in France at the age of 59 after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Chief Financial Officer David Rowland was named as the interim CEO. ^[34]

In February 2019, contractors from Accenture's Austin, Texas location who performed content moderation tasks for Facebook wrote an open letter to Facebook describing poor working conditions and a 'Big Brother environment' that included restricted work breaks and strict non-disclosure agreements.^[35][36][37] A counselor in the Austin office stated that the content moderators could develop posttraumatic stress disorder as a result of the work, which included evaluating videos and images containing graphic violence, hate speech, animal abuse, and child abuse.^[36][38]

In July 2019, Julie Sweet, previously CEO of Accenture North America, was named the new chief executive officer of the firm, effective September 2019. She replaced the interim CEO, David Rowland.^[39]

Finances[edit]

For the fiscal year 2018, Accenture reported earnings of US$4.060 billion, with an annual revenue of US$41.603 billion, an increase of 13.2% over the previous fiscal cycle. Accenture's shares traded at over $159 per share, and its market capitalization was valued at over US$104.2 billion in October 2018.^[40]

From at least 2005^[49] until December 2009, Accenture used Tiger Woods as a celebrity spokesperson and advertised using the service mark 'Go on, be a Tiger' and the ancillary statement 'We know what it takes to be a Tiger' in association with his image. On 13 December 2009 after details of Woods' extra-marital affairs were exposed, the company terminated Woods' six-year sponsorship deal.^[50]

The company uses a standardised system of branding, with extensive use of the font Graphik.^[51]

From 1999, the firm's culture was parodied by the webcomic Bigtime Consulting, operated pseudonymously by its San Francisco-based employee James Sanchez.^[52][53]

Accenture has implemented policies to reduce gendered discrimination such as gender neutral bathrooms and gender neutral dress-codes.^[54]

As of 2019, Accenture is currently engaged in a lawsuit with The Hertz Corporation. Hertz sued Accenture in April over a contract where Accenture was hired to build a website and app for Hertz.^[55] On Sept 12th, both parties appeared before the judge and provided oral arguments on the legitimacy of Hertz’s complaint and Accenture’s motion to dismiss.^[56] On Nov 15th, fact discovery is likely to be completed according to schedule, with expert witness depositions finished by Jan 31st, 2020, and a pre-trial conference on Feb 21st.^[57]
