Item 12.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On June 17, 2004, Accenture issued a press release, announcing preliminary results for its third fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2004. The results announced today are preliminary and are subject to quarterly review procedures and final reconciliations and adjustments. Following the completion of these steps, Accenture expects to announce its final third quarter results on Wednesday, July 7, 2004.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. All information in the press release is furnished but not filed.

In the attached press release, Accenture discloses free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow net of property and equipment additions. Management believes that by providing more visibility on free cash flow and reconciling to operating cash flow, Accenture provides another consistent metric from which the quality of its business may be monitored.
