KPMG’s Global Insurance practice wins again

Reactions Magazine’s ‘Best Accounting Firm of the Year 2008’ award as voted by the Insurance Industry

For the second year running KPMG’s Global Insurance practice was awarded Best Accounting Firm of the Year at the Reactions’ Global Awards Dinner ceremony in New York on August 26, 2008.

Once a year Reactions, the leading monthly insurance magazine, poll their readers to assess which organizations, deals, initiatives and industry figures are performing ahead of the competition and are the leaders in the industry.

Over 3,000 CEO’s, CFO’s and other industry professionals in senior management positions were contacted and interviewed either by telephone or on-line questionnaire and KPMG came out top, again!

KPMG for the second year wins the ‘Best Accounting Firm of the year 2008’ award.

Frank Ellenbürger, KPMG’s Global Head of Insurance and a partner in KPMG’s German member firm expressed his pride at the Insurance industry’s recognition of KPMG’s Global Insurance practice saying:

“We sincerely appreciate the Insurance Industry’s recognition of both our dedication to the industry and our commitment to our firm’s clients. To win the award for the second year running is especially gratifying. I am proud to lead this team and would like to thank them for the hard work this award represents.”

Gerdus Dixon, head of KPMG South Africa’s Insurance Practice, added “We have a lot to live up to—it is clear that our clients have a high level of trust and expectations for our member firms and our professionals. This award both encourages and reminds us of the importance of meeting those expectations and delivering on our commitments each and every day.”
