Neil Jeans, Grant Thornton risk consulting partner and AML specialist, said: “It is great to have someone of Richard’s calibre and experience based in our Sydney office. His presence will support the unprecedented demand for our services nationally, from both new and existing businesses subject to AML/CTF obligations.”
“His pragmatic style and strategic insight have helped clients navigate complex regulatory challenges, drive cultural and operational change, and engage effectively with regulators. He has experience leading strategic engagements across wagering, banking, entertainment and regulatory technology.”
Grant Thornton said Storey’s appointment followed recent additions and “bolstering” of its risk consulting team as AML/CTF regulatory changes in 2026 loomed, and his expertise in enterprise-wide AML/CTF frameworks, independent reviews, and regulatory remediation programs complemented the firm’s broader goals.
Speaking about his appointment, Storey said he was looking forward to stepping into the role and drawing on his expertise to help clients.
“To help clients meet complex AML/CTF obligations, I draw on deep domain expertise, regulator engagement experience, and practical consulting,” he said.
“What sets my approach apart is its proportionality and relevance – clients receive advice that fits their business reality and is uniquely tailored to their requirements, that’s not just strategic but actionable.”
Jarrod Lean, Grant Thornton partner and national head of risk consulting, said Storey’s appointment would add to the firm’s capabilities and help the AML/CTF team build outcomes-focused, customised risk management programs that protect organisations from criminals seeking to launder money and fund terrorism.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Richard to the team. His depth of experience and grounded approach are invaluable as we continue to support clients through evolving regulatory landscapes. Richard’s leadership will help us deliver even greater impact across industries.”
