Risks for ACCENTURE PLC (ACN)

Here are some interesting risks from the recent filings of ACCENTURE PLC. Our algorithms work hard to highlight risks unique to this company.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by volatile, negative or uncertain economic and political 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.

We could face legal, reputational and financial risks if we fail to protect client and/or Accenture data from security breaches or cyberattacks.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and we might not be able to compete effectively.
