Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) announced today its member firms have been recognised as the world’s best for securitisation accounting by International Securitisation Report (ISR), a securitisation trade publication based in London.  ISR recognised the winners at its annual awards ceremony held at the Dorchester Hotel in London recently.  Deloitte was further recognised for having won the award for eight consecutive years since inception.

ISR, a Thomson Financial publication, gathered information with supporting data from securitisation professionals around the world – including subscribers, issuers, investors and service providers.  ISR conducted more detailed interviews where appropriate.  The annual ISR Global Securitisation Awards are recognised internationally as the most important qualitative assessment of excellence within the structured finance community.  The awards also honour the best issuers, arrangers, law firms, rating agencies, monolines, trustees, research providers and deals.

“To serve our clients we built a securitisation network with representatives in over 40 countries,” said Frank Dubas, Deloitte’s managing partner of international securitisation.  “Our success is the result of our technical, regulatory and tax knowledge, combined with our deep understanding of the securitisation process and the needs of our clients. These awards place us among the securitisation industry’s leading companies many of whom were recognised for their work in investment banking, research, law and transaction support.”

“We are once again honoured to be recognised internationally for outstanding securitisation accounting services and are delighted that Deloitte in Ireland has been acknowledged for its leadership in contributing to the success of our securitisation practice,” said Mary Fulton, Partner, Deloitte.  “The ISR awards recognise the exceptional service that our securitisation professionals – including those in Ireland – deliver and reinforce the value of teamwork when serving clients globally.”
