Determinations Committees

Determinations Committees deliberate issues involving Reference Entities traded under Transaction Types including Credit Events, CDS Auctions, Succession Events and other issues.

Determinations made by the DCs are governed by the Determinations Committees Rules. ISDA acts as a non-voting secretary to each DC and endeavors to co-ordinate this process in a transparent and operationally efficient manner.

DCs currently operate in the following regions: the Americas, Asia excluding Japan, Australia-New Zealand, EMEA (Europe), and Japan.
