It was the increasing friction between Arthur Andersen, the firm and the consulting division, Andersen Consulting that led the consulting firm to separate and form a new company, which is the company Accenture that we know today.
Accenture has its name in the Fortune Global 500 companies and its client base includes 94 companies that are listed in the Fortune Global 100 companies
The name "Accenture" was suggested by Kim Petersen, an employee of the company at an internal competition, which was held at the company's Norway office.
