Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu announced  its earnings yesterday for the fiscal year 2011.

Deloitte earned revenue of $28.8 billion which is higher than the previous year by 8.4 percent in dollars and 7.7 percent in local currency.

In the field of analytics, Deloitte supports clients in such areas as business intelligence, forensic and regulatory investigations, performance management, advanced analytics, data mining and predictive modeling, data visualization and data management.

Emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil has helped the company’s growth in the financial advisory area.

Particularly, Deloitte China experienced 8.3 percent growth. Fast growing markets in India and Australia have helped member firms to achieve over 25% growth. Europe had some of the slowest overall growth.

Deloitte boosted its workforce by hiring 49,000 employees in 2011, with 37,000 employees lost due to retirement and other turnovers. This led to a net of 12,000 positions filled which represents a 7.1 percent increase in headcount. The company sees further increasing its overall headcount to 250,000 employees by 2015.
