Deloitte member firms have been recognized as the best in the world for securitisation accounting, by International Securitisation Report (ISR), a trade publication based in London.

ISR recognized the winners at the annual awards ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel in London earlier this year.

Deloitte was also recognized for having won the award for eight 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. 

“To serve our clients 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 among the securitization industry’s leading companies many of whom were recognized for their work in investment banking, research, law and transaction support.” 

Glen Wigney, Partner at Deloitte in the Cayman Islands added, “The Cayman Islands continues to be a leading jurisdiction for securitisation transactions. In partnership with our global firm we are able to offer a broad range of professional services to our clients.

“Our success in this industry is as a result of continued investment in our people and through building a global network. It is particularly pleasing to win ISR’s Global Securitization Award for the eight consecutive year. To help strengthen our Cayman team we have brought Francois Lamontagne to our firm from our BVI associates. Francois will work closely with our global securitization experts and take a lead role in our Cayman services within to the industry.”
