For the second consecutive year, Valuation Research Group (VRG) was named the Valuation Firm of the Year by merger industry professionals.

VRG said it accepted the International M&A Advisor Award on May 13th at the 5th Annual Awards Gala held in conjunction with the Annual Cross Border M&A Summit in New York. VRG was the only valuation firm honored.

The International M&A Advisor Awards recognize the leading firms, deal teams and deal-makers whose activities set the standard for cross-border transactions. This year, nominations representing over 800 companies were submitted for the awards. Award recipients were determined by an independent judging committee of 12 cross-border industry experts from the largest private equity, accounting and law firms.

“The valuation work we provide for our clients on an international basis is supported by a team of over 750 experienced valuation professionals in 60 countries with significant financial and regulatory reporting experience, extensive local market knowledge, and in-country tax expertise,” said Neil Kelly, chairman of VRC. “We’re honored to be recognized – for an unprecedented two years running – by the leading M&A deal professionals.”
