expense in our historical financial statements for periods prior to May 31, 2001. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,&#148; relating to the timing of revenue and income in client engagements combining multiple services, such as consulting and outsourcing services. We will continue to account for contracts signed on or before
August 31, 2003 under the previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) guidelines. Beginning on September 1, 2003, all new contracts will be accounted for in accordance with Issue No. 00-21, potentially changing the timing of revenue
recognition and affecting margins in some situations, depending on our ability to structure contracts to meet the requirements of Issue No. 00-21. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If Accenture had applied Issue No. 00-21 in the past, diluted earnings per share would have been approximately $0.02 lower in fiscal year 2003 and $0.01
lower in fiscal year 2002, and we would have reported, cumulatively, approximately $125 million less in revenues and $114 million less in revenues before reimbursements, of which $65 million relates to fiscal year 2003, $35 million relates to fiscal
year 2002, and $14 million relates to fiscal year 2001, and $54 million less in operating income, of which $33 million relates to fiscal year 2003, $15 million relates to fiscal year 2002, and $6 million relates to fiscal year 2001. We believe the
impact of Issue No. 00-21 will continue to be modest going forward because we plan to structure our new client agreements taking into consideration the new rules. However, should we sign a larger number of business transformation outsourcing
agreements with clients, there could be a greater delay in revenue recognition and an increased effect on margins. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><HR WIDTH="21%" SIZE="1" NOSHADE

free cash flow to be in the range of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion. New bookings for the full fiscal year 2004 are expected to be in the range of $16 billion to $18 billion. The annual effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of 36 percent

stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Class A common shares. Specifically, the underwriters may sell a greater amount of Class A common shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short
position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the amount of Class A common shares available for purchase by the underwriters under their option to purchase additional Class A common shares. An underwriter can close out a
covered short sale by exercising its option to purchase additional Class A common shares or purchasing the Class A common shares in the open market. In determining the source of Class A common shares to close out a covered short sale, an underwriter
will consider, among other things, the open market price of Class A common shares compared to the price available under the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also sell Class A common shares in excess of the over-allotment option, creating
a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing Class A common shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if an underwriter is concerned that there may be downward
pressure on the price of the Class A common shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase,
Class A common shares in the open market to stabilize the price of the Class A common shares. Finally, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the Class A common shares in the
offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed Class A common shares in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of
the Class A common shares above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

rights of third parties, and we may have infringement claims asserted against us or against our clients. These claims may harm our reputation, cost us money and prevent us from offering some services or solutions. Historically in our contracts, we
have generally agreed to indemnify our clients for any expenses or liabilities resulting from claimed infringements of the intellectual property rights of third parties. In some instances, the amount of these indemnities may be greater than the
revenues we receive from the client. Any claims or litigation in this area, whether we ultimately win or lose, could be time-consuming and costly, injure our reputation or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. We may not be
able to enter into these royalty or licensing arrangements on acceptable terms. Depending on the circumstances, we may be required to grant a specific client greater rights in intellectual property developed in connection with an engagement than we
otherwise do, in which case we seek to cross license the use of the intellectual property. However, in very limited situations, we forego rights to the use of intellectual property we help create and in these cases, this limits our ability to reuse
that intellectual property for other clients. Any limitation on our ability to provide a service or solution could cause us to lose revenue-generating opportunities and require us to incur additional expenses to develop new or modified solutions for
future projects. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Our engagements with clients may not be profitable.

professionals as we plan to deploy them on projects. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of these engagements, including delays caused by factors outside our control, could make these

away from contracts that are priced solely on a time-and-materials basis toward contracts that also include incentives related to factors such as costs incurred, benefits produced, goals attained and adherence to schedule. For example, we are
entering into an increasing number of outsourcing contracts, including business transformation outsourcing contracts, under which payment of all or a portion of our fees is contingent upon our clients meeting cost-saving or other contractually
defined goals. We estimate that a majority of our contracts have some fixed-price, incentive-based or other pricing terms that condition some or all of our fees on our ability to deliver defined goals. The trend to include greater incentives in our
contracts related to costs incurred, benefits produced or our adherence to schedule may increase the variability in revenues and margins earned on such contracts. Moreover, our failure to meet contractually defined goals or a client&#146;s
expectations in any type of contract may result in an unprofitable engagement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

and without significant penalty. The advance notice of termination required for contracts of shorter duration and lower revenue is typically 30 days. Longer-term, larger and more complex contracts generally require a longer notice period for
termination and may include an early termination charge to be paid to us. Additionally, large client projects involve multiple engagements or stages, and there is a risk that a client may choose not to retain us for additional stages of a project or
that a client will cancel or delay additional planned engagements. These terminations, cancellations or delays could result from factors unrelated to our work product or the progress of the project, but could be related to business or financial
conditions of the client or the economy generally. When contracts are terminated, we lose the associated revenues and we may not be able to eliminate associated costs in a timely manner. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

competitive landscape. The pace of consolidation among competitors in the markets in which we operate continues, with vertical integration of hardware and software vendors and service providers becoming more prevalent. Some of our competitors have
sought access to public and private capital and others have merged or consolidated with better-capitalized partners. These changes may create more or larger and better-capitalized competitors with enhanced abilities to compete for market share
generally and our clients specifically, in some cases, through significant economic incentives to clients to secure contracts. These competitors may also be better able to compete for skilled professionals by offering them large compensation
incentives. In addition, one or more of our competitors may develop and implement methodologies that result in superior productivity and price reductions without adversely affecting their profit margins. Many of our competitors are taking greater
advantage of the lower labor costs in certain countries to allow them to reduce prices. Any of these circumstances may impose additional pricing pressure on us, which would have an adverse effect on our revenues and profit margin. </FONT></P> <P

approved by Accenture. We expect that all of our employees who become partners in the future will agree to these separate July 24, 2005 transfer restrictions. While the transfer restrictions in the voting agreement and the transfer rights agreement
will continue to apply, such transfer restrictions will be waived to permit Accenture-approved transactions. From time to time, pursuant to the terms of the voting agreement and/or transfer rights agreement, we may also approve limited relief from
the existing share transfer restrictions for specified partners or groups of partners in connection with particular retirement, employment and severance arrangements that we determine to be important to the execution of our business strategy. After
July 24, 2005, however, only the provisions of the voting agreement and the transfer rights agreement, as well as the deferred vesting and/or delivery schedules that govern equity awards under Accenture&#146;s share incentive plan, will apply.
Commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we have been affording partners and former partners and their permitted transferees who have agreed not to transfer their equity interests in Accenture until July&nbsp;24, 2005 except in specified
Accenture-approved transactions with regular opportunities to sell or redeem their shares. These transactions have included sales of Class A common shares in accordance with the manner of sale provisions of Rule&nbsp;144 under the Securities Act by
the holders of these shares and redemptions and repurchases by Accenture of Accenture SCA Class I common shares and Accenture Canada Holdings exchangeable shares from the holders of those shares. These redemptions and repurchases have been at
ratable volume levels and equivalent price levels with the sales of Class A common shares. We expect to continue to enable these partner share transactions at increased volume levels, and the sales of Class A common shares by the holders of these
shares may be covered by this prospectus. We also expect that such partners and former partners and their permitted transferees will be permitted to transfer shares in connection with future underwritten public offerings or private placements. The
contractual restrictions on transfer described in this paragraph may not be enforceable in all cases. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

their interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States. As a Bermuda company, we are governed by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. The Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws
generally applicable to United States corporations and shareholders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers and acquisitions, takeovers, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification of directors. See &#147;Description of

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under Bermuda law, the duties of directors and officers of a company are generally owed to the company only. Shareholders of Bermuda companies do not generally have rights to take action against directors or officers
of the company, and may only do so in limited circumstances. Officers of a Bermuda company must, in exercising their powers and performing their duties, act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and must
exercise the care and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position in which their duties to the company and their personal interests may conflict and
also are under a duty to disclose any personal interest in any contract or arrangement with the company or any of its subsidiaries. If a director or officer of a Bermuda company is found to have breached his duties to that company, he may be held
personally liable to the company in respect of that breach of duty. A director may be liable jointly and severally with other directors if it is shown that the director knowingly engaged in fraud or dishonesty. In cases not involving fraud or
dishonesty, the liability of the director will be determined by the Bermuda courts on the basis of their estimation of the percentage of responsibility of the director for the matter in question, in light of the nature of the conduct of the director
and the extent of the causal relationship between his conduct and the loss suffered. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

amendment of the memorandum of association or continuance adopted by shareholders at any general meeting, other than an amendment that alters or reduces a company&#146;s share capital. Where such an application is made, the amendment becomes
