KPMG and Ernst & Young shared the Auditor of the Year (Big 4) honour at the Real FD/CBI Finance Directors' Excellence Awards ceremony earlier this week.
The winners of the awards were decided by the results of a nationwide survey of financial directors, which asked detailed questions about customer service levels.
KPMG's head of
audit Richard Bennison said he was proud of the fact finance directors rated his firm's services highly for the fourth consecutive year.
"Their views are significant, because they are the people who see their auditors in action at first hand and judge them accordingly," added Mr Bennison.
Grant Thornton was named Auditor of the Year (Outside the Big 4), with Baker Tilly highly commended in the category.
The Advisory Firm of the Year award went to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) for the third time in four years.
Ian Powell, head of advisory services at PWC, said winning the honour was particularly pleasing because it represented recognition from the firm's clients.
