Ian Sadler joins Deloitte UK from Ernst & Young to strengthen tax management consulting offering

Deloitte has today announced the appointment of global compliance outsourcing expert, Ian Sadler, as a partner in its Tax practice. He will take a lead role in growing the firm’s tax management consulting group.

Ian has been recognised as a leader in the national and global compliance outsourcing field since 1996. He joins Deloitte from Ernst & Young where he founded the firm’s global tax outsourcing business in both the UK and Europe, and helped develop the firm’s global strategy in this area. He has also led the design and rollout of tax compliance processing centres in the UK, India and Australia and, when on secondment in Australia, led the development of the outsourcing capability for the Asia-Pacific market.

Alan MacPherson, head of the tax management consulting practice at Deloitte, said: “We are delighted to welcome Ian to Deloitte. Not only is he one of the leading compliance outsourcing experts in the UK, and indeed globally, Ian also has an outstanding reputation in his field and with clients.”

Ian Sadler commented: “Effective reporting and efficient, value-driven tax compliance solutions are rapidly moving up the boardroom agenda as improved governance and transparency, value generation and risk management become increasingly important topics for business. This is especially pertinent at a time of increasing global regulation; the need to identify risk areas and to have the right processes in place will not only minimise the worldwide reputational and financial risk to a business but will also drive the generation of value from a detailed and holistic review of an organisation’s global compliance profile.”
