AFMA’s Guide to Australian OTC Transactions provides a standardised approach to the legal documentation necessary for participants transacting in Australian over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Essentially, it is the reference gateway to bilateral documentation providing a simple, accessible guide to the main forms of OTC market transaction documentation used in Australia. AFMA offers both an introductory and advanced workshop on the use of the Guide to Australian OTC Transactions.

Both workshops will be of value & relevance to: • analysts • compliance managers • corporate treasurers • dealers • fund managers • ISDA® negotiators • legal counsel • operations staff • risk managers • settlements staff • traders • treasury operations personnel

Introductory OTC Documentation Workshop

A half-day workshop providing participants with an overview of the AFMA Online Guide to OTC Documents publication. Through a series of short lectures and hands-on examples, including case studies and deals, participants will learn about the structure, content and format of a completed Schedule to the 2002 ISDA® Master Agreement. The workshop outlines the range of derivatives products and types of transactions, netting and important legal and operational issues. The presenter will have access to the AFMA Online Guide to OTC Documents throughout the workshop and will demonstrate how it works and the information available.

Familiarity with the financial market products covered by the ISDA® Master Agreement is not a pre-requisite to attending this workshop.


Advanced OTC Documentation Workshop

Assumed knowledge: An understanding of derivatives products to the level covered by the Introductory OTC Documentation Workshop. We recommend attending the Advanced OTC Documentation Workshop within six months of completing the Introductory Workshop.

This practical one-day workshop identifies key issues in the ISDA® Master Agreement and the negotiation process. Relevant legal terms will be explained and more advanced documentation issues will be examined, including: • tax representations • cross default clauses • close-out amount – calculating termination payments in the 2002 ISDA® Master Agreement • break clauses • early termination events • multi-branch parties • Force Majeure Event • automatic early termination • set off provisions • credit support • netting dealing with non-corporates • events counterparties.

Short lectures will be combined with case studies and deal types. Workbooks supplied will provide participants with access to all relevant documentation.
