Former Federal Reserve Bank Examiner Joins Deloitte & Touche AML Practice
Deloitte & Touche LLP announced the hiring of Fred Curry, a former bank examiner with the one of the Federal Reserve banks and an experienced commercial banker with significant anti-money laundering experience, as a senior manager in the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) group. The AML group is part of Deloitte & Touche's national Forensic & Dispute Services practice. Curry, 42, who brings more than two decades of experience in domestic and international banking, is the newest prominent addition to Deloitte & Touche's rapidly expanding Anti-Money Laundering group. Alan Abel, a leading authority on anti-money laundering, joined the practice in December. Curry joins Deloitte & Touche from a major Washington, D.C.-based law firm, where he served as senior director of its anti-money laundering practice. In addition to assessing the effectiveness of clients' AML compliance programs, he reviewed currency reports, customer accounts and related transactions to detect suspicious activity and devised solutions to address bank examination findings, among other tasks.
From 1998 to 2003, Curry worked as a bank examiner at one of the Federal Reserve banks. As examiner-in-charge of the bank's legal and compliance risk group, he was responsible for: conducting comprehensive AML examinations for a wide range money center banks; testing AML compliance; helping financial institutions identify money-laundering weaknesses and detect unusual fund transfers; training foreign central banks and enforcement agencies in AML practices; and advising on criminal investigations, enforcement actions and civil penalties. Prior to that, he served a stint as an associate manager of the operations and technology division for a major brokerage firm. From 1982 to 1997, Curry rose through the ranks of a leading U.S. bank, where he was responsible for tax reporting and compliance. He also served as an assistant treasurer for the bank's global deposit services. In 2001, Curry founded the non-profit Sirius Foundation to honor his wife, Beverly Laverne Curry, who died in the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks. Inspired by her husband's quest for education, Beverly, an honor student, was just two semesters shy of earning her bachelor's degree in business administration at the time of her death. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded $10,000 in scholarships to high-achieving African American women aspiring to careers in business. Curry earned a J.D. from Brooklyn School of Law in 2003 and an M.B.A. from Fordham University in 1997. (17 Feb 2005)
