The Center for International Mediators and Arbitrators (CIMA) delivers specialized training and case management services in Financial Crime, Compliance, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Disputes, addressing the growing need for alternative resolution mechanisms in high-stakes regulatory and reputational matters.

CIMA’s training programs are designed for compliance officers, legal practitioners, forensic investigators, regulators, financial institutions, and fintech companies navigating complex disputes involving fraud, insider trading, sanctions violations, illicit financial flows, AML/CFT breaches, and regulatory enforcement actions. The curriculum blends legal and investigative frameworks with practical case studies, focusing on dispute resolution within and outside institutional enforcement structures.

Participants gain deep insights into the use of arbitration and mediation to resolve civil disputes arising from internal investigations, regulatory penalties, whistleblower actions, customer due diligence failures, KYC breaches, and third-party liability claims. The training also explores how ADR interfaces with statutory enforcement, deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs), and cross-border regulatory cooperation.

CIMA’s Regulatory & Financial Crime Dispute Unit offers confidential and secure case management for disputes involving sensitive financial crime allegations. The institution provides neutral forums for negotiated settlements, mediator-led resolutions, or independent arbitral decisions where appropriate. This is particularly useful for managing conflicts between regulators and regulated entities, joint ventures, correspondent banks, or multinational institutions facing multi-jurisdictional scrutiny.
