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)
Provincial guides
| Province | Doc |
|---|---|
| Ontario (OMVIC / MVDA) | Ontario compliance |
| British Columbia (VSA) | British Columbia compliance |
Setup
- Enter licence and HST under Business settings.
- Train intake on known damage at acquisition.
- Manager sign-off workflow before BOS on flagged units.
Daily workflow
- Flag damage at inventory intake — notes required before Active.
- Merchandising (embed, window) must match notes.
- Quote/deal carries disclosure forward.
- Close with BOS + archived PDF.
Permissions
- Inventory managers edit disclosure fields.
- Sales typically read-only on clearing flags.
- Admins run audit/retention exports.
What this is not
- Not a certified UCDA form vendor
- Not legal filing or counsel
- Not a guarantee of regulatory compliance for every jurisdiction
