Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     On June 29, 2006, Accenture issued a press release announcing financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2006, which fiscal quarter ended on May 31, 2006.

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

Non-GAAP Financial Information

     In the attached press release Accenture discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

	•		Free cash flow (defined as operating cash flow net of property and equipment additions). Accenture’s management believes that this information provides meaningful additional information regarding the company’s liquidity;
	•		Percentage changes in revenues before reimbursements on a local currency basis. Accenture’s management believes that information regarding changes in its revenues before reimbursements that excludes the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates facilitates meaningful comparison of its revenues before reimbursements between periods;
	•		Information regarding its expenses and income for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005 and 2006 that reflect adjustments relating to benefits from reductions in reorganization liabilities that were established in connection with Accenture’s transition to a corporation structure. Accenture’s management believes that because these benefits are not reflective of operations, this information enhances understanding of the company’s operating performance; and
	•		Information regarding operating income and earnings per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005 that reflects adjustments relating to share-based compensation expense. As of September 1, 2005, Accenture began expensing stock options and employee share purchase plans in accordance with SFAS 123R, and Accenture’s management believes that presentation of this prior-period information enhances understanding as to trends in the company’s operating results.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the press release. While Accenture’s management believes that this non-GAAP financial information is useful in evaluating Accenture’s operations, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
