Accenture Adoption Date

Impact on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
|
2016-16
: Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
|
|
The guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Under current guidance in U.S. GAAP, in the case of depreciable or amortizable assets, the income tax consequences are deferred at the time of the intra-entity transfer and recognized as the assets are depreciated or amortized. The guidance requires modified retrospective transition with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption.
|
|
September 1, 2018
|
|
The Company is assessing the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
2016-02
: Leases
|
|
The guidance amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The guidance requires a modified retrospective method upon adoption.
|
|
September 1, 2019
|
|
While the Company is continuing to assess the potential impact of this ASU, it currently believes the most significant impact relates to its accounting for office space operating leases. The Company anticipates this ASU will have a material impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheets but will not have a material impact on its other Consolidated Financial Statements or footnotes.
|
2014-09
:
(Accounting Standard Codification 606),
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
and related updates |
|
The guidance replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The guidance allows for both retrospective and modified retrospective methods of adoption.
|
|
September 1, 2018
|
|
The Company performed an initial assessment of the impact of the ASU and developed a transition plan, including necessary changes to policies, processes, and internal controls as well as system enhancements to generate the information necessary for the new disclosures. The project is on schedule for adoption on September 1, 2018 and the Company will apply the modified retrospective method. The Company expects revenue recognition across its portfolio of services to remain largely unchanged. However, the Company expects to recognize revenue earlier than it does under current guidance in a few areas, including accounting for variable fees and for certain consulting services, which will be recognized over time rather than at a point in time. While the Company has not finalized its assessment of the impact of the ASU, based on the analysis completed to date, the Company does not currently anticipate that the ASU will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

|
•
|
Our results of operations could be adversely affected by volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions and the effects of these conditions on our clients’ businesses and levels of business activity.
|
•
|
Our business depends on generating and maintaining ongoing, profitable client demand for our services and solutions, including through the adaptation and expansion of our services and solutions in response to ongoing changes in technology and offerings, and a significant reduction in such demand or an inability to respond to the evolving technological environment could materially affect our results of operations.
|
•
|
If we are unable to keep our supply of skills and resources in balance with client demand around the world and attract and retain professionals with strong leadership skills, our business, the utilization rate of our professionals and our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
|
•
|
The markets in which we compete are highly competitive, and we might not be able to compete effectively.
|
•
|
We could have liability or our reputation could be damaged if we fail to protect client and/or Accenture data from security breaches or cyberattacks.
|
•
|
Our profitability could materially suffer if we are unable to obtain favorable pricing for our services and solutions, if we are unable to remain competitive, if our cost-management strategies are unsuccessful or if we experience delivery inefficiencies.
|
•
|
Changes in our level of taxes, as well as audits, investigations and tax proceedings, or changes in tax laws or in their interpretation or enforcement, could have a material adverse effect on our effective tax rate, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
|
•
|
Our results of operations could be materially adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
|
•
|
Our business could be materially adversely affected if we incur legal liability.
|
•
|
Our work with government clients exposes us to additional risks inherent in the government contracting environment.
|
•
|
We might not be successful at identifying, acquiring, investing in or integrating businesses, entering into joint ventures or divesting businesses.
|
•
|
Our Global Delivery Network is increasingly concentrated in India and the Philippines, which may expose us to operational risks.
|
•
|
As a result of our geographically diverse operations and our growth strategy to continue geographic expansion, we are more susceptible to certain risks.
|
•
|
Adverse changes to our relationships with key alliance partners or in the business of our key alliance partners could adversely affect our results of operations.
|
•
|
Our services or solutions could infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others or we might lose our ability to utilize the intellectual property of others.
|
•
|
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use or infringement by third parties, our business could be adversely affected.
|
•
|
Our ability to attract and retain business and employees may depend on our reputation in the marketplace.
|
•
|
If we are unable to manage the organizational challenges associated with our size, we might be unable to achieve our business objectives.
|
•
|
We make estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and any changes to those estimates and assumptions could adversely affect our financial results.
|
•
|
Many of our contracts include payments that link some of our fees to the attainment of performance or business targets and/or require us to meet specific service levels. This could increase the variability of our revenues and impact our margins.
|
•
|
Our results of operations and share price could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain effective internal controls.
|
•
|
We are incorporated in Ireland and a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it might not be possible for shareholders to enforce civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States. We may also be subject to criticism and negative publicity related to our incorporation in Ireland.
|
•
|
Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and might afford less protection to shareholders.
|
•
|
We might be unable to access additional capital on favorable terms or at all. If we raise equity capital, it may dilute our shareholders’ ownership interest in us.

Communications, Media & Technology net revenues increased
4%
in local currency, led by Software & Platforms in North America, as well as growth across all industry groups in Growth Markets. This growth was partially offset by a decline in Communications & Media in Europe, as disruptions in the market continue to impact demand, and we expect this trend to continue.

Financial Services net revenues increased
6%
