"As previously disclosed in our public filings, we proactively brought this matter to the government's attention following an internal review. We have cooperated extensively with the government's investigation and continue to do so," an Accenture spokeswoman told Federal News Network. "We remain dedicated to operating with the highest ethical standards as we serve all our clients, including the federal government."
In an Oct. 12, 2023, filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Accenture referenced how it made a voluntary disclosure to the government that initiated a DoJ investigation "concerning whether one or more employees provided inaccurate submissions to an assessor who was evaluating on behalf of the U.S. government an AFS service offering and whether the service offering fully implemented required federal security controls."
