HALAL — METHODS DIFFERstock

Is ACN Halal?

IT consulting and services — generally permissible professional services.

What You Should Know

The May 31, 2026 filing shows debt/assets 7.47%, liquidity/assets 14.78%, and receivables plus cash/assets 35.11%. Professional-services activity is generally permissible, but client-sector revenue is not fully quantified.

⚠️ Concerns

  • MSCI receivables-plus-cash threshold
  • Client-sector revenue not separately disclosed
  • Interest income requires methodology-specific treatment

Debt is 7.47%, liquidity is 14.78%, receivables plus cash is 35.11%, and disclosed interest income is 0.40%; each is below the examined FTSE thresholds. Business-activity revenue remains unquantified.

Fails

Debt and liquidity pass the examined limits, but receivables plus cash is 35.11%, above the 33.33% total-assets limit used for this calculation. This is not an index-membership claim.

Incomplete

Debt and identifiable liquidity are below 33% of total assets. This is a calculation against SAC ratios, not an official classification; screened business revenue remains unavailable.

Overall
Not calculated

A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Accenture provides technology, consulting and managed services. Most professional and technology services can be permissible, but client-sector and engagement-level revenue cannot be classified universally from the filing alone.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for defense, conventional financial services, gambling, alcohol or other categories that a chosen scholar may screen.

Purification

Interest income is disclosed at 0.40% of quarterly revenue, but no universal purification rule is inferred for client-sector revenue or the disclosed investment income.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Debt combines $5,029.449 million of long-term debt and $112.816 million of current debt reported at May 31, 2026.
  • Cash is $10,165.245 million; short-term investments are $6.322 million. Receivables use the reported current receivables balance; contract assets and client-funds balances are not added without a methodology-specific rule.
  • Quarterly revenue is $18,718.144 million and disclosed investment interest income is $75.069 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026.
  • Accenture does not separately quantify revenue from government, defense, conventional financial-services or other potentially screened client work.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
