According to a Reuters report, the company has told that in the process of retrenchment, first those employees who are associated with non-billing corporate functioning work will be removed. For cost-cutting, the company has given the target of adjusting growth by reducing its cost. Accenture CEO Julie Sweet said that we are trying to keep the cost down in the financial year 2024 and beyond. This will give us an opportunity to take advantage of significant growth by investing more in the business.
