Here she undertook two secondments focused on FATCA and CRS implementation, assisting clients with practical implementation issues and reporting requirements and ensuring appropriate documentation of procedures and decisions. She has also worked for another “Big 4” firm in Jersey for the last year, again focused on the automatic exchange of information regimes.

EY partner and Channel Islands Head of Tax, Wendy Martin, said: “Lisa is a fantastic addition to EY’s Channel Islands tax team and her experience in information reporting will be invaluable for our clients. Now is a critical time for those clients involved in ensuring their systems are compliant and Lisa will play an important role in helping them implement their policies and procedures.” 

Ms McCleane said: “It’s great to be back with EY and I am excited about joining the Channel Islands team. I look forward to engaging with the firm and supporting our clients with their reporting requirements at such a crucial time.”
