     The following documents filed by Accenture Ltd (the "Company" or
"Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:

     1.  The Registrant's prospectus to be filed on or about July 19, 2001
         pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, which contains audited
         financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year for which
         such statements have been filed (File No. 333-59194).

     2.  The description of the Company's share capital contained in the
         Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the
         Commission under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act on June 25, 2001
         (File No. 001-16565), including any amendment or report filed for the
         purpose of updating such description.

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
indicating that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date
of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified
or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which
also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
Registration Statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

     The Class A common shares are registered under Section 12(b) of the
Exchange Act.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The bye-laws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of the
Registrant's officers and directors against all liabilities, loss, damage or
expense incurred or suffered by such party as an officer or

                                       1
<PAGE>

director of the Registrant; provided that such indemnification shall not extend
to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Companies Act 1981 of
Bermuda.

     The Companies Act provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its
directors and officers in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to
them as a result of any negligence, default or breach of trust of which they may
have been guilty in relation to the company in question.  However, the Companies
Act also provides that any provision, whether contained in the company's bye-
laws or in a contract or arrangement between the company and the director or
officer, indemnifying a director or officer against any liability which would
attach to him in respect of his fraud or dishonesty will be void.

     The directors and officers of the Registrant are covered by directors' and
officers' insurance policies maintained by the Registrant.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     None.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
  Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act");

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
  effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
  effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
  Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
  decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
  securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
  deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
  be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
  Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
  more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
  in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
  statement.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of
  distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
  material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each
  such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
  thereof.

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
  the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination
  of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

     The following documents filed by Accenture Ltd (the "Company" or
"Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:

     1.  The Registrant's prospectus to be filed on or about July 19, 2001
         pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, which contains audited
         financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year for which
         such statements have been filed (File No. 333-59194).

     2.  The description of the Company's share capital contained in the
         Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the
         Commission under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act on June 25, 2001
         (File No. 001-16565), including any amendment or report filed for the
         purpose of updating such description.

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
indicating that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date
of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified
or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which
also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
Registration Statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

     The Class A common shares are registered under Section 12(b) of the
Exchange Act.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The bye-laws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of the
Registrant's officers and directors against all liabilities, loss, damage or
expense incurred or suffered by such party as an officer or

                                       1
director of the Registrant; provided that such indemnification shall not extend
to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Companies Act 1981 of
Bermuda.

     The Companies Act provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its
directors and officers in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to
them as a result of any negligence, default or breach of trust of which they may
have been guilty in relation to the company in question.  However, the Companies
Act also provides that any provision, whether contained in the company's bye-
laws or in a contract or arrangement between the company and the director or
officer, indemnifying a director or officer against any liability which would
attach to him in respect of his fraud or dishonesty will be void.

     The directors and officers of the Registrant are covered by directors' and
officers' insurance policies maintained by the Registrant.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     None.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
  Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act");

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
  effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
  effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
  Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
  decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
  securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
  deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
  be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
  Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
  more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
  in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
  statement.

                                       2
(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of
  distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
  material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each
  such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
  thereof.

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
  the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination
  of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
