This Current Report on Form 8-K/A corrects an error in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 29, 2006 (the “March 29 Form 8-K”), by The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (the “Company”). The March 29 Form 8-K incorrectly indicated that Mr. Goldstein’s election as Presiding Director was effective immediately. The report should have stated that Mr. Goldstein’s election as Presiding Director by the Company’s Board of Directors would be effective immediately after the next meeting of the Company’s shareholders, expected to be held in May 2006.

On March 29, 2006, the Company issued a press release reflecting this correction, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

In addition, the press release originally filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the March 29 Form 8-K incorrectly indicated that Mr. Goldstein had been a director of the Company since 1995. In fact, Mr. Goldstein’s service as director commenced in 2001.

Item 9.01.

Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Exhibit 99.1

Press release dated March 29, 2006 (filed pursuant to Item 8.01)
