Here the interviewer aims to determine the scope of your industry knowledge, their competitors, and not just that of Accenture. By gauging your industry knowledge, they hope to gain insights into how engaged you are in your career.

Not only is it important to share the scope of your knowledge, but to accentuate where Accenture rises above their competition. Highlighting how they stand apart is like answering the bonus questions on a test you've already aced. Going above and beyond in your interview is a good indicator that above and beyond is your performance standard.
