Brutal economic conditions unsurprisingly hit global accounting giant Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu this year.
The firm reports that revenue for fiscal 2009 (which ended May 31) fell 4.9% from the year before, settling at $26.1 billion. A decline in deal flow and the economic downturn around the world are cited as the primary reasons for the performance. Only the consulting business posted a gain. At the same time, Deloitte's workforce grew globally by 40,000 to 169,000, but the net increase masks a turbulent year for the employees.
