OTC Transaction Confirmation

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

OTC Transaction Confirmation. A formal confirmation document that codifies the terms and conditions of the transaction between the parties


Issues and Challenges

This effectively supersedes the (implied) contract that is brought into being by the transaction. It makes reference to the terms and conditions under which the transaction is deemed to have been conducted. The confirmation references the master agreement under which the transaction has been conducted along with any ISDA standard terms referenced (if applicable), and adds terms and conditions specific to the transaction. The confirmation generally supersedes all terms in the ISDA standard definitions and the master agreement in the event of any inconsistency between them.
