A COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

An organization can manage its compliance through a system and process for collecting characteristic data for regulated elements and applyi ng a rule application system to identify those having an out-of compliance status. A responsible representative is assigned and notified of the out-of compliance status and compelled to perform corrective actions through repeated and successive notification of the assigned representative and a hierarchy of responsible representatives until compliance is achieved. Compliance is further compelle d through assigning a default out-of-compliance status for an element until su ch time as its characteristics are collected such as through mandatory data collection.~ Preferably, the compliance management system is implemented in a client-serv er network utilizing remote data collection devices and server-based applicatio ns and databases of rules, a corrective action register of pending out-of complianc e elements and a compliance calendar interface for responsible representatives .
