What the company does
Accenture (Ireland) is the world's largest IT-consulting and outsourcing firm: digital transformation, cloud, AI implementation and business-process management. Its money comes from client projects and service contracts.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

Figures from the company's filings (2026-05-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 38.1% of total assets (2026-05-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
