TORONTO, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- KPMG International received a top performance evaluation from ALM Intelligence analysts for its depth of Transaction Advisory Services provided to KPMG member firm clients worldwide in 2015, and was among a few select organizations earning the prestigious ALM Intelligence Vanguard Leader recognition.
