Accenture Trip Today, the 26th of September we went to the Accenture which is held in Auckland City. Even though I have never heard or have never been there, just by the information that Mrs Anderson told us about, I knew that we would have a great time! Okay, so today we went to Accenture.

I think my favourite part of the trip was just getting to know...

The department that I think stood out the most or the department that I think really presented...
