Risks

• Economic and geopolitical conditions: Accenture says its results have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by volatile, negative or uncertain economic and geopolitical conditions and their effects on its clients' businesses and levels of business activity (10-K, Item 1A).¹
• Artificial intelligence: The 10-K says risks and uncertainties related to the development and use of AI, including advanced AI, could harm its business, and that its business depends on generating and maintaining client demand for its solutions and services (10-K, Item 1A).¹
• Competition and pricing: Accenture says the markets in which it operates are highly competitive and it might not be able to compete effectively, and that its profitability could suffer from pricing pressure (10-K, Item 1A).¹
• U.S. federal government work: Its work with government clients brings additional risks. The 10-K says the U.S. administration began efforts to reduce federal spending and the size of the federal workforce, that these have resulted in and are likely to continue to result in contract terminations, delays and cancellations of new procurements, and that these changes have had an adverse effect on the results of Accenture Federal Services (10-K, Item 1A).¹
• Data protection and cybersecurity: The 10-K says Accenture faces legal, reputational and financial risks from any failure to protect client or Accenture data from security incidents or cyberattacks (10-K, Item 1A).¹
• Currency, talent and Irish incorporation: Its results could be materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the 10-K says the majority of its revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the Euro, Japanese yen and U.K. pound. It also lists the risk of not matching people and their skills with client demand, and notes that it is incorporated in Ireland, whose law differs from U.S. law (10-K, Item 1A and MD&A).¹
