Novations protocol

An Isda document published in September 2005 that defines the correct procedures for assigning or novating over-the-counter derivatives. See novation. Firms that have adhered to the protocol agree to inform the outgoing dealer in writing by 6pm on the day they assign a trade to a new dealer. The protocol was introduced to make the processing of credit derivative trades more efficient.
