Yasaar's resounding win in the category of Best Islamic Finance Advisory Firm saw off competition from some major global competitors including PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, and Ernst & Young.

Mr. Dawood said:

"We are honoured to receive this Award for the second year in a row. We know that those who voted for us are our peers in the industry so this Award carries a lot of prestige. The Award means so much more to us because we know that we had stiff competition from our global competitors to win it."

According to the organisers of the event: "The Awards provide confirmation of those institutions and individuals recognised as market leaders in the Islamic financial community' and they went on to say that the winners 'are leading the way in creating a force to be reckoned with in financial services around the world."

Yasaar Limited was also one of the runners up in the in the Best Globalisation Effort category voted for by the same people.

Mr. Dawood concluded by saying: "Winning this Award shows that you don't have to be a large entity to provide an exemplary and recognised service. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who voted for us again this year."

This year marks a critical turning point in the history of Yasaar as the company branches out into other areas of the Islamic finance arena through offering a variety of market-leading products and services and has just launched the capability to publish industry specific reports through its new division Yasaar Media.
