Abstract

An embodiment of the invention provides a method comprising monitoring publications for regulatory changes with a monitoring device, and identifying at least one regulatory change based on the monitoring of the publications. The monitoring device monitors published comments to the identified regulatory change. A processor connected to the monitoring device identifies one or more topics and/or objects in the regulatory change and/or the published comments. An alert generating device connected to the processor generates an alert including one or more policies above a threshold level of likelihood that the policy will be affected by the regulatory change.
