METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AN AUTOMATED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RATING SYSTEM

摘要

A method and system for developing and deploying an automated corporate governance rating software system for reducing the cost of research comprising analyzing data and generating scores. The system further comprises rating the performance of the leadership team, board of directors and executives of public and private companies. The system comprises web portals wherein a user selects a company of interest and a corporate governance score for that company is generated. The method further comprises retrieving the company's securities filings from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) database, generating the company's ratings. The method comprises domain-specific natural language questions, extracting concepts based on such a venture and automatically extracting and analyzing data to generate answers based on securities filings at the U.S. SEC. The method further comprises using over 200 corporate governance variables and an algorithm to generate corporate governance ratings and deliver them to the user via a web portal. The natural language processing involves over 2,000 industry key words and terms from the capital and financial markets, and four corporate governance categories including governance and ethics, compensation, auditing and accounting, and finance.
