New York, January 31, 2005 — Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) announced today its member firms have been recognized as the world's best for securitization accounting by International Securitisation Report (ISR), a securitization trade publication based in London. ISR recognized the winners at its annual awards ceremony held at the Dorchester Hotel in London on January 26. Deloitte was further recognized for having won the award for seven consecutive years since inception.
ISR, a Thomson Financial publication, gathered information with supporting data from securitization professionals around the world, including subscribers, issuers, investors and service providers. ISR conducted more detailed interviews where appropriate. The annual ISR Global Securitization Awards are recognized internationally as the most important qualitative assessment of excellence within the structured finance community. The awards also honor the best issuers, arrangers, law firms, rating agencies, monolines, trustees, research providers and deals.
"I am proud that the member firms of Deloitte have been recognized for their work in securitization accounting services by ISR," said Jack Ribeiro, managing partner of Deloitte's Global Financial Services Industry practice. "These awards exemplify our outstanding efforts and commitment to providing exceptional client service globally."
"We built a securitization network with representatives in over 40 countries," said Frank Dubas, Deloitte’s managing partner of International Securitization. "Our success is the result of our technical, regulatory and tax knowledge, combined with our deep understanding of the securitization process and the needs of our clients. These awards place us amongst first-class companies — many of whom are our clients — for their work in investment banking, research, law and transaction support. We look forward to continuing to provide companies with superior service as we strive for continued growth in this area."
"We are once again honored to be recognized internationally for outstanding securitization accounting services and are delighted that Deloite & Touche USA LLP has been acknowledged for its leadership in contributing to the success of our securitization practice," said Howard Kaplan, managing partner, U.S. Securitization. The ISR awards recognize the exceptional service that our securitization professionals — including those in the United States — deliver and reinforce the value of teamwork when serving clients globally."
