China investigating Accenture in Microsoft probe

China's anti-monopoly probe into Microsoft expanded to Accenture on Wednesday as one of the company's offices in China is under investigation.

The State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC) said in a statement that it is investigating Accenture's office in Dalian City, northeast China's Liaoning Province, for being the financial service outsourcer of Microsoft China Co., which is suspected of monopoly practices.

The SAIC did not reveal results of the investigation and the probe is still underway.
