William D. Green, Accenture's chairman and CEO, said, "After a careful review, our Board of Directors has determined that changing our place of incorporation to Ireland is in the best interests of Accenture and our shareholders. We believe that company incorporation Ireland will provide Accenture with economic benefits and help ensure our continued global competitiveness. "A member of the European Union, Ireland offers a sophisticated, well developed corporate, legal and regulatory environment. It also has a long history of international investment and long established commercial relationships, trade agreements and tax treaties with European Union member states, the United States and other countries around the world where Accenture does business. In addition, company incorporation Ireland offers a stable political and economic environment and has the financial and legal infrastructure to meet Accenture's needs, both today and in the future. " Accenture has offices in 52 countries and serves clients in more than 120 countries around the world. Ireland is part of the company's largest geographic region, Europe/Middle East/Africa EMEA, which accounts for nearly half of Accenture's total net revenues, is home to many of the company's largest clients and represents a significant business opportunity for the company. Accenture has a 40 year history as an employer and provider of services in Ireland. Today the company serves a wide range of clients in the country, including the Irish government, and has significant operations and a substantial presence there that has grown rapidly in recent years. Company incorporation Ireland is an attractive proposition due to low corporation tax rates and a current 3 year tax exempt period for new companies.
