significant reduction in such demand or an inability to respond to
the evolving technological environment could materially affect the
company’s results of operations; if Accenture is unable to match
people and skills with client demand around the world and attract
and retain professionals with strong leadership skills, the
company’s business, the utilization rate of the company’s
professionals and the company’s results of operations may be
materially adversely affected; the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted

profitability could materially suffer if the company is unable to
obtain favorable pricing for its services and solutions, if the
company is unable to remain competitive, if its cost-management
strategies are unsuccessful or if it experiences delivery
inefficiencies or fail to satisfy certain agreed-upon targets or
specific service levels; changes in Accenture’s level of taxes, as
