Computer-implemented systems and methods for preparing compliance forms to meet regulatory requirements

Abstract:

Computer-implemented systems, methods and articles for preparing and/or submitting a plurality of different types of compliance forms for submission to a regulatory agency. The system includes a computing device, a data store, and a compliance form software program executable by the computing device. The compliance program includes a universal calculation engine, logic agent and user interface manager which are configured to process a respective domain model configured for each type of compliance form. Each domain model includes a calculation graph, a completeness model comprising decision table(s) and/or completeness graph(s), user interface assets and filing rules configured specifically for a particular type of compliance form. The rules and regulations for each type of compliance form are embodied in the declaratory data structures of the respective calculation graph and completeness graph for each domain model. The calculation engine and logic agent are configured to process the calculation graph and completeness graph, respectively.
