Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Dumpster /dəˈlɔɪt/, commonly referred to as Deloitte, is one of the Big Four professional services firms along with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Ernst & Young, and KPMG.
Key People: Rahil (CEO), Amit Jain (CFO), Srini and Raghav( Cheif Data officers) Deloitte is the largest professional services network in the world by revenue and by the number of professionals. Deloitte provides audit, tax, consulting, enterprise risk and financial advisory services with more than 200,000 professionals in over 150 countries. [2] In FY 2012–13, it earned a record $32.4 billion USD in revenues. [3]
In 2012, it was reported that in the UK, Deloitte had the largest number of clients amongst FTSE 250 companies. [4]
Its global headquarters is located in New York City, United States. [5]
In 1845 William Welch Deloitte opened an office in Basinghall Street in London. Deloitte was the first person to be appointed an independent auditor of a public company, namely the Great Western Railway. [6] He went on to open an office in New York in 1880. [6]
In 1896 Charles Waldo Haskins and Elijah Watt Sells formed Haskins & Sells in New York. [6] It was later described as "the first major auditing firm in [the] country to be established by American rather than British accountants." [7]
In 1898 George Touche established an office in London and then in 1900 joined John Ballantine Niven in establishing the firm of Touche Niven in the Johnston Building at 30 Broad Street in New York. [6] At the time, there were fewer than 500 CPAs practicing in the United States, but the new era of income taxes was soon to generate enormous demand for accounting professionals.
On 1 March 1933, Colonel Arthur Hazelton Carter, President of the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants and Managing Partner of Haskins & Sells, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking and Currency. Carter helped convince Congress that independent audits should be mandatory for public companies. [6]
In 1947, Detroit accountant George Bailey, then president of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, launched his own organization. The new entity enjoyed such a positive start that in less than a year, the partners merged with Touche Niven and A. R. Smart to form Touche, Niven, Bailey & Smart. [6] Headed by Bailey, the organization grew rapidly, in part by creating a dedicated management consulting function. It also forged closer links with organizations established by the co-founder of Touche Niven, George Touche: the Canadian organization Ross and the British organization George A. Touche. [6] In 1960, the firm was renamed Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart, becoming Touche Ross in 1969. [6] In 1968 Nobuzo Tohmatsu formed Tohmatsu Aoki & Co, a firm based in Japan that was to become part of the Touche Ross network in 1975. [6] In 1972 Robert Trueblood, Chairman of Touche Ross, led the committee responsible for recommending the establishment of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. [6] He led the expansion of Touche Ross in that era.
In 1989 Deloitte Haskins & Sells in the USA merged with Touche Ross in the USA to form Deloitte & Touche. The merged firm was led jointly by J. Michael Cook and Edward A. Kangas. Led by the UK partnership, a smaller number of Deloitte Haskins & Sells member firms rejected the merger with Touche Ross and shortly thereafter merged with Coopers & Lybrand to form Coopers & Lybrand Deloitte (later to merge with Price Waterhouse to become PwC). [8] Some member firms of Touche Ross also rejected the merger with Deloitte Haskins & Sells and merged with other firms. [8]
At the time of the US-led mergers to form Deloitte & Touche, the name of the international firm was a problem, because there was no worldwide exclusive access to the names "Deloitte" or "Touche Ross" – key member firms such as Deloitte in UK and Touche Ross in Australia had not joined the merger. The name DRT International was therefore chosen, referring to Deloitte, Ross and Tohmatsu. In 1993 the international firm was renamed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to reflect the contribution from the Japanese firm, [6] as well as agreements to use both of the names Deloitte and Touche.
In 1995, the partners of Deloitte & Touche decided to create Deloitte & Touche Consulting Group (now known as Deloitte Consulting). [9]
In 2000, Deloitte acquired Eclipse to add Internet design based solutions to its consulting capabilities. Eclipse was later separated into Deloitte Online and Deloitte Digital. [10]
In 2002, Arthur Andersen's UK practice, the firm's largest practice outside the U. S., agreed to merge with Deloitte's UK practice. Andersen's practices in Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Mexico, Brazil and Canada also agreed to merge with Deloitte. [11] [12] The spin off of Deloitte France's consulting division led to the creation of Ineum Consulting. [13]
In 2009, Deloitte purchased the North American Public Service practice of BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting) after it filed for bankruptcy protection. [14] The firm also took over the UK property consultants Drivers Jonas in January 2010. [15]
In 2011, Deloitte acquired DOMANI Sustainability Consulting and ClearCarbon Consulting in order to expand its sustainability service offerings. [16]
In January 2012, Deloitte announced the acquisition of Übermind, Inc., an innovative mobile agency. [17] The acquisition is Deloitte's first entrance into the mobile application field [18] On 11 January 2013, Deloitte acquired substantially all of the business of Monitor Group, [19] the strategy consulting firm founded by Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter, after Monitor filed for bankruptcy protection. [20]
For many years, the organization and its network of member firms were legally organized as a Swiss Verein. As of 31 July 2010, members of the Verein became part of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTTL), a UK private company, limited by guarantee. Each member firm within its global network remains a separate and independent legal entity, subject to the laws and professional regulations of the particular country or countries in which it operates. [21]
This structure is similar to other professional services networks which seek to limit vicarious liability for acts of other members. As separate and legal entities, member firms and DTTL cannot obligate each other. Professional services continue to be provided by member firms only and not DTTL. With this structure, the members should not be liable for the negligence of other independent members. This structure also allows them to be members of the IFAC Forum of Firms [22] which is network of accounting firm networks.
While in 1989, in most countries, Deloitte, Haskins & Sells merged with Touche Ross forming Deloitte & Touche, in the United Kingdom the local firm of Deloitte, Haskins & Sells merged instead with Coopers & Lybrand (which today is PwC). [23] For some years after the merger, the merged UK firm was called Coopers & Lybrand Deloitte and the local firm of Touche Ross kept its original name. In the mid-1990s however, both UK firms changed their names to match those of their respective international organizations.
While the full name of the UK private company is Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, in 1989 it initially branded itself DRT International. In 2003 the rebranding campaign was commissioned by Bill Parrett, the then CEO of DTT, and led by Jerry Leamon, the global Clients and Markets leader. [24]
According to the company website, Deloitte now refers to the brand under which independent firms throughout the world collaborate to provide audit, consulting, financial advisory, risk management, and tax services to selected clients. [25]
In 2008, Deloitte adopted its new “Always One Step Ahead” (AOSA) brand positioning platform to support the existing Deloitte vision: “To be the Standard of Excellence”. AOSA represents the global organization’s value proposition, and is never used as a tagline. The recent launch of the Green Dot ad campaign also aligns with Deloitte’s brand strategy and positioning framework. [26]
Deloitte member firms offer services in the following functions, with country-specific variations on their legal implementation (i. e. all operating within a single company or through separate legal entities operating as subsidiaries of an umbrella legal entity for the country). [27]
Deloitte offers its staff a variety of career models to choose from based on their preferences, geographic location and business need. These career models also vary for each function. Traditional titles for Consulting are "analyst" through "principal", FAS has "associate" through "partner", and the delivery-focused track features "specialist" through "specialist leader".
Deloitte hires entry-level personnel to client-facing functions through their graduate recruitment programs at selected universities.
The organization is consistently rated by Fortune as one of their "100 Best Companies To Work For". [33]
In 2007 and 2009, Deloitte was rated the number one place to launch your career by BusinessWeek. [34] [35]
Disputes involving Deloitte include:
The UK member firm of Deloitte was a sponsor of the London 2012 Olympics [51] and the Royal Opera House. [52] The Canadian member firm was also the official professional services supplier for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games [53] and 2010 Winter Paralympic Games. [54] The US member firm of Deloitte is a sponsor of the United States Olympic Committee. [55] In Asia, the Singapore member firm of Deloitte was a sponsor of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. [56]
Moreover, Deloitte sponsors many university sports teams, such as Edinburgh University Hockey Club. [57]
