The analysis of the financial data over the six-year period reveals notable trends in the current assets of the company.

Current Assets
The current assets show a consistent upward trend from 17,749,756 thousand US dollars in 2020 to 23,381,931 thousand in 2023. However, in 2024, there is a decline to 20,857,781 thousand US dollars, followed by a significant recovery and increase to 28,900,689 thousand in 2025. This fluctuation suggests a potential temporary reduction in short-term liquidity or asset base in 2024 before a strong rebound.
Adjusted Current Assets
Adjusted current assets closely mirror the trend in current assets, starting at 17,790,033 thousand US dollars in 2020 and increasing steadily to 23,408,274 thousand in 2023. Similar to current assets, there is a decline in 2024 to 20,885,342 thousand, followed by a substantial rise in 2025 to 28,932,936 thousand. The adjusted figures confirm the observed pattern and suggest consistency in the accounting or valuation approach applied over these periods.

Overall, the data indicates a general growth trajectory in the company's short-term asset base over the years with a notable dip in the year ending August 31, 2024. The pronounced recovery in 2025 could indicate operational improvements, asset acquisitions, or revaluation adjustments enhancing the asset position. The close alignment between current assets and adjusted current assets suggests minimal discrepancies or adjustments of significance between reported and adjusted values.

Total Assets
There is a consistent upward trend in total assets over the period analyzed. Starting from approximately 37.1 billion US dollars, the total assets have grown steadily each year, reaching roughly 65.4 billion US dollars by the end of the period. This represents a significant increase, indicating expansion and accumulation of resources over the years.
Adjusted Total Assets
Adjusted total assets follow a similar pattern of continuous growth. The values increase from about 32.9 billion US dollars to approximately 61.6 billion US dollars. This adjusted measure also shows steady asset growth, reflecting improvements or revaluation adjustments that corroborate the broader asset increase trend.
Trend Analysis
Both total assets and adjusted total assets exhibit a stable and positive growth trajectory throughout the six-year span. The growth rates appear fairly consistent, suggesting effective asset management and possibly strategic investments or acquisitions. The difference between total assets and adjusted total assets remains proportionately steady, implying that adjustments maintain a consistent relationship with overall asset values.
Insight
The ascending asset base provides a foundation for potential revenue generation and operational scaling. The continuous increase in both total and adjusted assets signals strength in balance sheet capacity, affording potential flexibility in financing and investment activities.

The analysis of current liabilities of the company over the periods from August 31, 2020, to August 31, 2025, shows a consistent upward trend. The reported current liabilities have increased steadily from approximately $12.7 billion in 2020 to an estimated $20.4 billion by 2025.

The adjusted current liabilities, which likely account for certain adjustments or exclusions, also exhibit a similar rising pattern. Starting from about $9.0 billion in 2020, they are projected to increase to approximately $14.3 billion in 2025. The adjusted values are consistently lower than the reported current liabilities, indicating possible exclusion of certain short-term liabilities in the adjusted figures.

The year-over-year growth in current liabilities suggests that the company's short-term obligations are expanding, which could be the result of increased operational activities, financing, or other factors impacting the liquidity position. The adjusted current liabilities increase at a slightly slower pace compared to the total current liabilities, indicating that the adjustments may relate to liabilities growing at a higher rate.

Overall, the data reflects rising short-term liabilities, which necessitates careful monitoring to ensure that the company's liquidity and working capital management remain adequate to meet these obligations as they increase.

Total Liabilities
The total liabilities have shown a consistent upward trend over the periods analyzed. Starting at approximately 19.58 billion US dollars in 2020, the figure increased to over 23 billion in 2021 and continued rising each subsequent year. By 2025, total liabilities are projected to exceed 33 billion US dollars, indicating a significant growth in overall obligations.
Adjusted Total Liabilities
Adjusted total liabilities also exhibited growth, beginning at around 15.07 billion US dollars in 2020 and increasing to about 17.91 billion in 2021. The figure rose steadily through 2022 and 2024, albeit with a slight decrease in 2023, before sharply increasing to approximately 25.97 billion in 2025. This reflects a general increase in adjusted liabilities, with a notable upsurge projected for the final period.
Comparative Insights
Both total and adjusted total liabilities demonstrate rising trends, with total liabilities consistently exceeding adjusted liabilities by a significant margin. The growth rate appears more pronounced in the later years, especially from 2024 to 2025, where the escalation in liabilities is sharper. This suggests increasing financial obligations or leverage over the time frame, potentially signaling strategic investments, acquisitions, or rising cost structures that warrant further analysis.

Total Accenture plc shareholders’ equity
The total shareholders’ equity demonstrates a consistent upward trend over the observed periods, increasing steadily from approximately $17.0 billion in 2020 to around $31.2 billion in 2025. This growth indicates a strengthening equity base and suggests that the company has been able to retain earnings and/or secure additional capital effectively. The year-over-year growth rate appears robust, reflecting potentially sound financial management and positive accumulation of shareholder value.
Adjusted total shareholders’ equity
The adjusted total shareholders’ equity also follows a similar upward trajectory, starting at about $17.9 billion in 2020 and rising to nearly $35.7 billion in 2025. Notably, the adjusted equity figures consistently exceed the unadjusted totals, indicating that adjustments (likely for intangible assets or other non-standard accounting treatments) contribute positively to the equity valuation. The larger gap between adjusted and total equity over time signifies increasing adjustments, emphasizing a possibly growing value in assets not fully captured by traditional equity measures. The persistent growth pattern confirms sustained enhancement in the company’s net worth under the adjusted framework.

Total Reported Debt
The total reported debt experienced fluctuations during the observed period. It initially showed a minor increase from 61,872 thousand US dollars in 2020 to 65,553 thousand US dollars in 2021, followed by a decline to 55,068 thousand US dollars in 2022. Subsequently, there was a sharp rise to 147,903 thousand US dollars in 2023, escalating significantly to 1,024,857 thousand US dollars in 2024 and then to 5,148,653 thousand US dollars in 2025. This dramatic increase during the final two years suggests a substantial increase in the company's borrowing or liabilities.
Total Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity showed a consistent growth trend over the years. The equity increased steadily from 17,000,536 thousand US dollars in 2020 to 31,195,446 thousand US dollars in 2025. This growth reflects an accumulation of retained earnings or capital increases, suggesting strengthening in the company's net worth from the shareholders’ perspective.
Total Reported Capital
The total reported capital, which combines debt and equity, also demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory. It started at 17,062,408 thousand US dollars in 2020 and rose to 36,344,099 thousand US dollars by 2025. The increase aligns with the growth in both debt and equity components, confirming overall capital expansion.
Adjusted Total Debt
Adjusted total debt showed a different pattern compared to reported debt. It decreased gradually from 3,485,513 thousand US dollars in 2020 to 3,149,034 thousand US dollars in 2023, indicating debt management or repayments during this period. However, from 2023 onward, adjusted debt surged to 4,120,549 thousand US dollars in 2024 and then nearly doubled to 8,182,866 thousand US dollars in 2025. This upward movement suggests increased financial leverage or additional obligations in recent years.
Adjusted Total Shareholders’ Equity
Adjusted shareholders’ equity maintained a positive trend, increasing from 17,893,679 thousand US dollars in 2020 to 35,669,461 thousand US dollars in 2025. The continuous growth mirrors the reported equity trend, reinforcing the company’s strengthened capital base over time after adjustments.
Adjusted Total Capital
The adjusted total capital consistently rose from 21,379,192 thousand US dollars in 2020 to 43,852,327 thousand US dollars in 2025. The growth reflects the combined increase of adjusted debt and adjusted equity, indicating an overall increase in the adjusted financial resources available to the company.
General Insights
Overall, the company displayed steady growth in its equity and total capital throughout the period, reflecting ongoing expansion or retention of earnings. Conversely, debt levels, particularly in the latter years, exhibited rapid escalations, which may point to increased borrowing or financial commitments. The discrepancy between reported and adjusted debt trends highlights the importance of underlying adjustments in assessing the company’s leverage.

Revenue Growth
The revenue figures demonstrate a consistent upward trend over the analyzed periods. Starting from approximately 44.3 billion US dollars, revenues have expanded steadily to reach nearly 69.7 billion US dollars in the most recent period. This indicates a robust growth trajectory averaging a significant increase yearly.
Adjusted Revenues
The adjusted revenues track closely with the reported revenues but consistently present slightly higher values across all periods. This adjustment suggests that certain accounting or operational adjustments lead to a marginally enhanced revenue figure, reinforcing the overall positive revenue trend.
Year-over-Year Changes
Year-to-year changes reveal variable growth rates. Notably, the jump from 2021 to 2022 shows a pronounced increase, indicating potentially strong sales performance or new revenue streams during that timeframe. The growth remains positive but appears to moderate slightly in the subsequent years, reflecting stable but less aggressive gains.
Projection Insights
The data extends into projected values for 2024 and 2025, which continue the upward trend, signaling expectations of sustained growth. The projections suggest confidence in the company's ability to maintain its revenue momentum.

Net Income Attributable to Accenture plc
The net income shows a generally upward trend over the years. Beginning at approximately 5.11 billion USD in 2020, it increased to about 5.91 billion USD in 2021, followed by a significant rise to nearly 6.88 billion USD in 2022. The figure stabilized slightly in 2023 around 6.87 billion USD, and then resumed growth in 2024 and 2025, reaching approximately 7.26 billion and 7.68 billion USD, respectively. This indicates overall positive profitability growth with a slight plateau observed in 2023.
Adjusted Net Income
The adjusted net income exhibits more fluctuation compared to the reported net income. Starting at around 6.22 billion USD in 2020, it rose to about 6.79 billion USD in 2021 but then experienced a notable decline to approximately 6.22 billion USD in 2022. Subsequently, there was a strong recovery with an increase to 7.57 billion USD in 2023, and continued growth to 7.77 billion and 9.20 billion USD in 2024 and 2025, respectively. This pattern suggests variability in adjustments impacting net income, with a pronounced upward trend in the most recent years.
Comparative Insights
While both net income and adjusted net income increase overall, adjusted net income demonstrates greater volatility and a sharper recovery following a dip in 2022. The adjusted figures tend to be higher than reported net income, implying that adjustments (likely for non-recurring items or accounting measures) have a significant positive impact on earnings. The robust growth in adjusted net income during the last two years may reflect improved operational efficiency or favorable one-time factors contributing to profitability.
