I have just been informed by [Company] that during an internal AIMS audit; the company discovered that the crew scheduling rule in the AIMS system which impacts three FAA regulations was inadvertently turned off. As a result; I may have exceeded: 14 CFR 121.471(a) resulting in flying in excess of 30 hours in a 7 day period. Due to the complexity of our operations throughout the world; I suggest keeping all FAR 121; 117; domestic and international operations separate from each other and flown by a set of dedicated crew members. This allows us to better monitor our own schedules and help prevent this kind of error in the future.
Captain reported notification by company audit department of FAR Flight Time violation due to company monitoring system error.
