- dredmorbius 8y agoYour timeline and causality are incorrect. Arthur Aderson and Anderson Consulting operated separately under Andersen Worldwide Société Coopérative since 1989. The companies formally separated in August of 2000, and the Accenture name was announced in January, 2001. The Enron scandal broke in December, 2001. Accenture's timing proved fortuitous, but coincidental. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accenture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accenture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_scandal
