What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1Accenture depends on a large workforce with the skills clients need; employee compensation is its largest operating expense.
2Accenture’s work often combines its services with technology from partners, including cloud and artificial-intelligence companies.
3Accenture earns revenue in many currencies, including euros, British pounds and Japanese yen, so exchange-rate changes affect its reported results.

What could go wrong

1Clients have been spending more slowly, particularly on smaller, shorter projects; the company also reported that the Middle East conflict affected consulting work and client decisions.
2Accenture may not match its employees’ skills and availability to changing client demand, manage employee departures or recover higher compensation costs through pricing and efficiency.
3The company may not successfully acquire, invest in or integrate businesses; this matters as it pursues acquisitions in cybersecurity and other areas.
