Arthur Andersen Double-Sided Keychain Charm
Carry a compact reference to Arthur Andersen LLP and a pivotal chapter in American business history. Founded in Chicago in 1913, the firm became known for auditing, tax advising, consulting, and rigorous professional training before its 2002 collapse reshaped the accounting world. This double-sided keychain charm suits collectors who appreciate corporate archives, finance lore, consulting history, and the connected stories of Andersen Consulting and Accenture.
Arthur Andersen LLP was a Chicago-based American accounting firm providing auditing, tax advising, consulting and other professional services to large corporations. Arthur E. Andersen and Clarence DeLany founded Andersen, DeLany & Co. in 1913; after DeLany resigned, it became Arthur Andersen & Co. in 1918. Its first client was Milwaukee's Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, and the firm opened a Milwaukee office in 1915. Andersen led the business until his death in 1947 and promoted standardized training and high accounting standards. Consulting expanded rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1989, Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting became separate units of Andersen Worldwide Société Coopérative. Arbitration granted Andersen Consulting independence in 2000; it adopted the Accenture name on January 1, 2001, while Arthur Andersen rebranded as Andersen. Once among the Big Five firms, Andersen collapsed in 2002 following the Enron and WorldCom scandals. Its U.S. operations were largely sold to other firms, while former operations and alumni helped form successors including Accenture, Protiviti and Andersen Tax.
