I wonder how any of the big four are still in business, they've been caught in so many scandals so many times it's mind boggling. It's time they went the way of Arthur Andersen.
- brtkdotse 5y agoYou mean rebranding to Accenture?
- sofixa 5y agoThe original auditing company is no more, only the consulting branch, which was mostly separate by that time, lives in Accenture.
- dagw 5y agoAccenture was Andresen Consulting, not Arthur Andersen. They'd been operating independently (to the point they where often competing against each other for the same projects, and where pretty bitter rivals) for over a decade before AA collapsed. In fact the name change was the result of a lawsuit between Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting over royalty payments resulting in AA refusing to let AC continue to use the Andersen name

"In August 2000, at the conclusion of International Chamber of Commerce arbitration of the dispute, the arbitrators granted Andersen Consulting its independence from Arthur Andersen" "As a result, Andersen Consulting changed its name to Accenture"
