Abstract
A system and method for providing a business architecture model which clearly identifies regulatory practices applicable to a business, and how these regulatory practices affect different aspects of a business. The business architecture model according to the present system and method may also be easily modified to model the costs and effects of compliance, non-compliance and hypothetical changes to the regulatory practices of a business. Once the model is set up, it can monitor and manage some or all aspects of a business'"'"' regulatory practices in an automated manner. The model may be integrated with a business'"'"' information technology infrastructure to manage and keep track of regulatory practices, as well as to provide notifications when an event occurs related to the regulatory practice.
