Deloitte, the business advisory firm, has been ranked for the tenth consecutive year Accountancy Firm of the Year at the International Securitisation Report (ISR) Awards.

David Barnes, Partner and Head of Securitisation practice at Deloitte, commented on the award: “It’s an honour for Deloitte’s global securitisation practices to be recognised once again. This recognition is testament to the quality of our clients and people, our practitioners’ technical, regulatory and tax knowledge, our deep understanding of the securitisation process and the needs of clients especially in these challenging times. We are proud to work with leading securitisation market participants and to have worked on four of ISR's award winning deals in 2007.”

ISR is the market leader in news and in-depth analysis in international securitised transactions and its awards are recognised internationally as the most important qualitative assessment of excellence within the structured finance community.
