NEW YORK, June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rothstein Kass (www.rkco.com), a leading professional services provider to the financial services industry, has been named "Best Accounting Firm" in the first-ever "Hedgeweek USA Awards" at a ceremony on June 16, 2011. Hedgeweek, a Global Fund Media publication, hosted the event, honoring top-performing hedge fund managers and service providers in the industry. Results were based on voting by Hedgeweek's network of nearly 20,000 US-based subscribers, including institutional and high-net worth investors, as well as managers and other industry professionals at firms including fund administrators, prime brokers, custodians and advisors.
