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).

Career highlights

In my professional experience of over 30 years, I have:

  • Led complex investigations into irregular trading activities within major Australian banks.
  • Advised on AML program uplifts and remediations at major Australian financial institutions and gaming organisations, many in response to Austrac actions including enforceable undertakings (EUs) and litigation.
  • Appointed as an auditor by Austrac under a Section 162 notice.
  • Advised one of Australia’s largest banking institutions around matters relating to the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.
  • Conducted over 100 AML “independent reviews” for Australian clients as required under Chapter 9 of the AML rules.
  • Established whistleblower lines and other infrastructure with corporate clients, advising on issues raised, and investigating whistleblower complaints as required.
  • Investigated and detected fraud and corruption incidents within major mining, transport, infrastructure, health and government clients, including international anti bribery and corruption (ABAC) engagements.
