Behind the Scenes of SMSF Fraud with Sharlene Anderson
In this episode of the SMSF Experts Podcast, Shelley chats with Sharlene Anderson, Director of Veritas Forensics and registered company auditor, to expose the uncomfortable truth about SMSF fraud. From Melissa Caddick's doctored CommSec statements to Trio Capital's sophisticated $180 million heist, Sharlene reveals why the real problem isn't how clever fraudsters are—it's how trusting Australians are.
Sharlene shares insights from over 15 years of experience as they discuss everything from AI-generated documents to crypto scams and referral networks that look legitimate until you dig deeper. Shelley and Sharlene explain why SMSFs are particularly vulnerable targets and how professional scepticism across auditors, accountants, and advisors is crucial for protection.
