                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Trustees of the
Diamond Technology Partners
   Incorporated 401(k) Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Diamond Technology Partners Incorporated 401(k) Plan (Plan) as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing  
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted auditing principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in
the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis, rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in the net assets available for plan benefits of each
fund.  The supplementary schedules and fund information have been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable     
transactions that accompany the Plan's financial statements do not disclose the
historical cost of certain Plan assets held by the Plan custodians as of or
during the year ended December 31, 1996. Disclosure of this information is
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974.

DIAMOND TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS
INCORPORATED 401(K) PLAN              

Notes to Financial Statements

DECEMBER 31, 1996

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
     -------------------

     The following brief description of the Diamond Technology Partners 
     Incorporated 401(k) Plan (Plan) is provided for general information
     purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
     complete information.

     (A) GENERAL

     The Plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan for all eligible 
     employees of Diamond Technology Partners Incorporated (Company) who meet
     the minimum age and service requirements specified in the Plan agreement.
     The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The number of employees participating in the
     Plan totaled 175 and 104 at December 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

     (B) CONTRIBUTIONS

     Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax annual  
     compensation, as defined in the Plan.  Participants may also contribute
     amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined-benefit or
     contribution plans.  Additional amounts may be contributed at the option of
     the Company's trustees.  Contributions are limited in accordance with IRS
     regulations.  No Company contributions have been made to date.

     (C) PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution 
     and an allocation of Plan earnings and Company contributions, if any.
     Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as
     defined.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit
     that can be provided from the participant's account.

     (D) VESTING

     Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus  
     actual earnings thereon.

     (E) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

     On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, and if  
     the vested account balance exceeds $3,500, a participant may elect to
     receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's
     vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over a
     specified period of time not exceeding the life expectancy of the
     designated beneficiary.  If the vested account balance is less than $3,500,
     the beneficiary will receive a lump-sum distribution.

     For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive 
     the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum
     distribution.

     (F) ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Administrative expenses amounting to $15,185 in 1996 have been directly    
     paid by the Company.  It is not the intention of the Company to obtain
     reimbursement from the Plan for these payments.

DIAMOND TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS
INCORPORATED 401(K) PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (G) PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE

     Participants may borrow a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum equal to the      
     lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance.  Loan
     transactions are treated as a transfer from the investment fund to the
     Participant Notes fund.  Loan terms range from one to five years, and up to
     15 years for the purchase of a primary residence.  The loans are secured by
     the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate
     commensurate with the local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the
     Plan administrator.  Interest rates range from 7.25% to 9.5%.  Principal
     and interest are paid ratably through bimonthly payroll deductions.


(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (A) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method
     of accounting.

     (B) USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally       
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for
     plan benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of changes in
     net assets available for plan benefits during the reporting period.  Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     (C) INVESTMENTS

     The assets of the Plan are held by the Plan Custodian.  The Plan's 
     investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices.
     Security transactions are recognized on a trade date basis.  Participant
     notes receivable are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
     Interest and dividend income on investments is recognized as earned.

(3)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
     letter dated May 15, 1997, that the Plan and related trust are designed in
     accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
     The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently being operated
     in accordance with the applicable provisions of the IRC.


(4)  PLAN TERMINATION

     While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, they
     are free to do so at any time, subject to the provisions set forth in
     ERISA.
