NEW YORK, May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fredrick E. Curry III has been named Deloitte Advisory anti-money laundering (AML) and economic sanctions practice leader and Michael Shepard has been named Deloitte Global AML, economic sanctions and financial crimes leader.

"Alison has led our team and served our clients incredibly well for years, and she'll be missed. Fred and Michael are senior leaders who bring deep AML and sanctions experience, so I am confident they will take our practices to new levels of innovation and excellence."

Don Fancher, Deloitte Global forensics leader, added, "Increased regulatory enforcement of financial crime has made it one of the stay-awake issues for c-suite executives of major organizations regardless of industry, and anti-money laundering is a chief concern.

Both Fred and Michael are senior AML professionals who help clients meet these ongoing challenges."
