System and method for implementing an assessment tool

A method that assesses regulations, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving, via an assessment engine, a request to initiate an assessment for a regulation;
• determining, via the assessment engine, a first question based on the request to initiate an assessment;
• presenting, via a user interface, the first question to a user;
• receiving, via the user interface, data responsive to the first question;
• injecting, via the assessment engine, the received data and a path definition, based in part on the received data, into a path logic, wherein the path definition is retrieved from a configuration file;
• determining, based on the path logic, if the assessment is concluded;
• upon determining that the assessment is not concluded:
• storing, in a data store, one or more interim results;
• applying, via the assessment engine, one or more tests to the interim results;
• determining, via the assessment engine, a second question based on the path logic and the results of the one or more tests on the interim results;
• presenting, via the user interface, the second question to the user;
• receiving, via the user interface, data responsive to the second question;
• and
• updating, via the assessment engine, the path logic based on the data responsive to the second question;
• dynamically generating an audit trail of each question, response data, as well as feedback related to the path logic created by the response data.

A non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing a computer to perform a method that assesses regulations, the method comprising the steps of:
