Accenture shareholders and executives will be rejoicing today, after the company officially announced that it will be raising its full-year revenue growth forecast for a second time.

The multinational management consulting and outsourcing company also reported a higher quarterly profit than it originally expected. Shares in Accenture Plc rose by 3 per cent in premarket trading shortly after the news was broken.

However, Accenture will still be cutting the top end of its full-year earnings forecast range, due to the strength of the dollar on the FOREX.
