13 Mar 2026 Macquarie Securities (Australia) LimitedMacquarie Securities: 35 million AUD for years of misreported short sales €21.5m
The Supreme Court of New South Wales, on application by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC, Australia's corporate, markets and financial services regulator), imposed a penalty of 35 million AUD on the securities dealer because, between December 2009 and February 2024, inadequate systems, processes and controls led it to misreport at least 73 million short sales to the market operator and to omit required regulatory data from orders. The court also found inadequate risk management and misleading conduct, and ordered a compliance programme involving an independent expert.
Regulatory reporting processes need their own regularly tested controls, and individual errors that come to light should be investigated as a possible sign of wider system weaknesses.
