Abstract
Abstract A system and methods for aggregating data contained in multiple client accounts and reporting the aggregated account information to the client as well as to other interested parties to whom the client has granted access permission. Account information may be obtained from external sources using a network and included in the aggregated client data. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a web server for generating aggregated account data reports from account information maintained in a database and an interested party terminal for receiving aggregated account data reports. The system and methods allow a client to specify various levels of access permission for an interested party, and thereby to control the level of detail accessible by one or more interested parties using the system.
