CARDINALS OF DELOITTE:

Deloitte's paramount copyright is owned by the single name, William Welch Deloitte(pic), the founder. The company's first location was in London in 1845 from which it moved around the globe later. Partnership with Thomas Greenwood resulted in a change of name and so it happened again when another partnership occurred with John George Griffiths.


In 1952, Deloitte merges with Haskins & Sells to become Deloitte Haskins & Cells. Later in 1990, the company again merges with Touche Ross and became, Deloitte & Touche which was renamed after 3 years after its merger as Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, however it is abbreviated as Deloitte.
