Business day conventions for your reading pleasure

How one adjusts the calculation period for a given interest coupon to account for the fact that it ends on a non-working day, and that therefore the interest payment can’t be made on schedule.

End of month - no adjustment business day convention: All cashflows are assumed to be distributed on the final day of the month (even if it is not a workday).
End of month - previous business day convention: All cashflows are assumed to be distributed on the final day of the month unless it is not a workday, in which case it's the previous business day.
End of month - following business day convention: All cashflows are assumed to be distributed on the final day of the month unless it is not a workday, in which case it's the next business day.
