My impression was that they take a lot of government money and technically keep a lot of government employees classified as private ones. My brother-in-law leads a software team that works on state benefits systems I believe.

They take the government money alright; laughed out loud reading: "Accenture engaged in an IT overhaul project for the British National Health Service (NHS) in 2003, making headlines when it withdrew from the contract in 2006 over disputes related to delays and cost overruns" [1]. But then I cried (thinking about my tax rate) when reading: "In 2012, it was revealed Accenture was paying only 3.5% in tax in the Republic of Ireland as opposed to the average rate of 24% it would pay if instead based in the UK." As any real company Accenture was headquartered in Bermuda in the 2000s and nowadays it's in Ireland. What can you expect from a company split from the Arthur Andersen.
