Systems & Technology
ISC specialises in the design of IT systems for markets,
the preparation of functional specifications and requests
for proposals, and the evaluation of existing packages
for exchanges, clearing houses and central depositories.
Often we take a project management and quality
assurance role.

Clearing Settlement and Payment
ISC has in-depth experience of the clearing and settlement systems being used throughout the world, including:
Surveillance
ISC prepares function specifications for surveillance systems, either as a separately acquired system or as a module of the trading system, helps clients select and customise the appropriate system and assists in implementation.
ISC also trains staff in the practical application and interpretation of alerts made by the systems and in procedures for following up and prosecuting trading misconduct (according to the prevailing law).
Regulatory
ISC’s projects often involve setting out standards and procedures for exchanges and securities regulators.
ISC has also defined systems for insurance and pensions supervision, both on and offsite.
