ACP can advise on the appropriate clearing and settlement structure from a basic clearing/settlement model to a full central counterparty (CCP) clearing house service, including whether to build from the ground-up or integrate with an existing CCP. ACP can manage all aspects of the design, development and implementation of clearing and settlement services, including the development of clearing rules to ensure adherence to both domestic and international regulatory framework; the implementation of best practices for operational and settlement processes.

Interim Management
When setting up a new venture, initial operations can often be delayed by the need to identify and recruit the right senior managers. ACP interim managers provide independent non-executive directors, senior management or technical managers who are experts in their field. Their purpose is to effect change and roll out processes which they can then leave once local managers have been recruited.
