Abstract
The method, apparatus and system are provided for obtaining information regarding compliance with local laws via client computers to upload information to a centralized server preferably over a wide area network. The data is obtained through interaction with a client device and the data is stored on a server. The server has access to a database engine which provides triggering and alarming capabilities for the tracking of applicable dates and events. The server system is provided with software and/or hardware necessary to perform manipulation of the data provided by the client and enable reconfiguration of the data for investigative and reporting purposes.
