Compliance helpers

FlashFender helps Ontario and BC desks organize known requirements — it does not replace a lawyer or certified form vendor.

Purpose

Compliance features guard data entry, surface disclosure on documents, and preserve audit history — reducing “we forgot to note the accident” risk without claiming auto-compliance.

What ships

  • Known-damage disclosure guards on Active inventory (MVDA-style): Active units with known damage require disclosure notes
  • Bill of Sale print includes dealership business block, dealer licence, and HST when set under Settings
  • AI disclosure helper can draft notes with human confirm when Flash AI is configured
  • Immutable audit trail (Settings → Audit), 10-year retention export and the we-owe / buyer’s guide / known-damage compliance pack (see Audit trail & retention)
