About Clean and Dirty Market Prices

Eagle's Accounting solution requires prices for interest rate swaps and credit default swaps to be supplied as "clean" unit prices. That is, without payable or receivable accrued interest. If accrued interest is included in the price, the interest is double counted in the daily valuation. If a broker or vendor supplies an all inclusive market value (dirty), the accrued interest must be backed out and divided by the notional amount to calculate a "clean" price.

In the Insert/Update Price Exchange panel, you can add the dirty market value for an interest rate swap and credit default swap. After adding the dirty market value, you can run a global process to calculate the clean unit price.

To add or update a dirty market price:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

    You see the Insert/Update Price Exchange panel.
  5. Complete the options on the Insert/Update Price Exchange panel.
