amalgamated in the US in 1989. Edward A. Kangas and J. Michael Cook served as co-presidents
of the amalgamated company. A smaller number of Deloitte Haskins & Sells member companies
declined to join with Touche Ross under the leadership of the UK partnership. Shortly after, they
merged with Coopers & Lybrand to establish Coopers & Lybrand Deloitte (later to merge with
Price Waterhouse to become PwC). Several Touche Ross member companies turned down the
merger with Deloitte Haskins & Sells and merged with different companies instead. Spicer &
Oppenheim and Touche Ross combined in the UK in 1990.

Because significant member businesses like Deloitte in the UK and Touche Ross in Australia had
not joined the merger, there was no worldwide exclusive access to the names "Deloitte” or
"Touche Ross" at the time of the US-led mergers to become Deloitte & Touche. Therefore, the
acronym DRT International—which stands for Deloitte, Ross, and Tohmatsu—was chosen. The
international company changed its name to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in 1993. The Deloitte &
Touche partners decided to establish the Deloitte & Touche Consulting Group in 1995. (now
known as Deloitte Consulting). Deloitte bought Eclipse in 2000 to expand its consulting
offerings to include web design. Deloitte Online and Deloitte Digital later split out from Eclipse.
