Accenture actually split off from Arthur Anderson just a little bit before the Enron scandal. It was incredibly lucky timing, since the Arthur Anderson name took a complete shit, but Accenture was able to thrive.
"Emerdata" is bad French for "shitty data".
As much as I hate CA. Its like the third time I've seen them mentioned this morning. Were they in the news or did something happen?
This. They should have been arrested and had the book thrown at them when they trespassed in Sen. Mary Landrieu's office and attempted to wire tap her phones.
They'll just return under a new "untainted" name and do it all over again.
Just ask the folks at
Cambridge AnalyticaEmerdataOr the boys at “Arther Andersen,” the accounting firm in the Enron scandal, nowadays known as “Accenture”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Andersen
And Blackwater is forever stained with the blood of innocents. But Academi is totally fine guys.
Don’t forget they were Xe for a couple years too.
And Avalon Securities.
And Xhitter
The accounting wing died. Accenture was spun off from the consulting wing, which should never have existed in the first place. Tim Hallett gives a really good breakdown of the shitshow in this article: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229483938_Symbolic_Power_and_Organizational_Culture
Thanks for that link!
