Malcolm Shackell
Partner, MinterEllison Consulting, Sydney
With over 30 years' experience across a range of industries and jurisdictions, I have helped clients manage their risk of fraud, corruption and financial crime. As a former Partner at a global consulting firm between 2001 and 2024, I held numerous significant local and international client leadership roles.

I am a qualified accountant (CPA), certified fraud examiner (CFE), and a member of the Association of Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS).
