The Australian Financial Complains Authority (AFCA) has appointed Anna Campbell to a new position of General Counsel.

She will be responsible for providing expert advice on complex legal matters, corporate governance and risk management. She was formerly GM of Enterprise Compliance at the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), where she was responsible for its regulatory assurance function involving Corporations Act license obligations, privacy, competition and other statutory obligations. She was also responsible for the ASX’s governance arrangements.

She was deputy general counsel at the ASX prior to that, a position she held for nine years.

AFCA CEO David Locke says the General Counsel role is a pivotal appointment for the organisation.

“AFCA now has a new senior Executive team in place and is very well placed to deliver on our goal to provide a world-class ombudsman service and consistently provide fair outcomes to our members and consumers,” he said.
