Accenture flags pressure on consulting business as clients turn cautious

Sweet said Accenture's strategy and consulting business would decline slightly in the second quarter. She added clients were still spending on technology, cloud services and on projects that helped cut costs, but advertising and marketing initiatives were shrinking, and retailers had cut back majorly.
