Based out of Pakistan, Abacus is the largest firm of its kind in the country, both in terms of revenue and staff numbers, and one of the largest in South Asia. Having an overall employee strength of over 2500, Abacus has 12 offices in the (MENASA ) region through which it serves clients in three continents and 22 countries.

Abacus has over 400 specialist consultants, and 1200 completed projects. == History and name changes == Abacus was established in 1987 by the current President, Mr. Asad Ali Khan, primarily as a management consulting firm that offered mainly finance related services such as financial analysis, business advisory and economic feasibility studies for new and existing business set-ups and projects. In 1991 Abacus was admitted as an associate member of Coopers & Lybrand International network, changing name to Abacus Coopers & Lybrand, and then Coopers & Lybrand Consulting. in 1997, Coopers & Lybrand and Price Waterhouse announced plans to merge, creating PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://money.cnn.com/1997/09/18/deals/waterhouse/ )〕 In Pakistan, the merger formalities were also initiated and completed by June 2000. Consequently, Abacus became the consulting arm of PricewaterhouseCoopers, and became known as PwC Consulting. In October 2003, Abacus dissociated itself with PwC after some of history's biggest accounting scandals that redefined the global regulatory environment for consulting and audit firms, restoring its name to Abacus Consulting. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abacus Consulting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
