Corporate Functions contributes to the running of Accenture as a high-performance business through specialization within a specific functional area and grow into internally focused roles by deepening their skills and/or developing new skills within an internal functional area.
Legal and Commercial Services professionals deliver and coordinate legal, contract and commercial advice and counsel in support of Accenture's or our clients' businesses, working to manage and mitigate risk and ensure ethical behavior and compliance with laws and company policies.
Imagine being part of team that helps transform leading organizations and communities around the world!
Ethics & Compliance is part of our CORE (Compliance, Operations, Regulatory and Ethics) group in Legal. Our professionals work closely with other Legal teams, corporate and business functions to ensure we do business in a responsible and compliant way, and help bring our values to life, every day, with a focus on building and maintaining trust of our people, clients, suppliers and partners. We identify and manage legal, business and commercial risks and provide high quality guidance and advice to our organization. 
A key element of our global compliance in this evolving technology landscape is our Responsible AI Program. AI is becoming more pervasive, more powerful, and more accessible. With these new opportunities come increased risks. We work to ensure our AI is designed, built, and deployed in a manner that engenders trust and adheres to laws, regulations and ethical norms. Our Responsible AI strategy will enable us to embed responsibility into all of Accenture’s data and AI activities. We’re also developing and deploying Responsible AI solutions with our ecosystem partners. The risks of AI are real and well- known.
