THE FLENTIS OPERATING STANDARD.

The Standard That Governs How We Think, Decide, and Report.

The Flentis Standard defines how financial work is performed when failure is not an option — a governance-led framework of internal controls, evidence, and accountability applied without compromise to ensure decisions, records, and reports withstand scrutiny, interrogation, and time.

*5 Pillars Of The Flentis Standards.

These are the five non-negotiable principles that are applied across all engagements, regardless of size or pressure.

1️⃣ Governance Before Compliance

Compliance is an outcome — governance is the system. Decisions precede entries Policy precedes transactions Substance precedes form

2️⃣ Evidence Over Explanation

If it cannot be proven, it does not exist. *Reconciliations before reports *Source documents before balances *Audit trails before narratives

3️⃣ Structural Integrity Across Time

All financial records are kept and must survive all of the following tests: *Staff turnover *SARS audits *Funding rounds *Litigation *Leadership succession

4️⃣ Defensive Thinking in Advance

We assume scrutiny before it arrives. *Tax positions stress-tested *Assumptions documented *Risks identified before exposure

5️⃣ Accountability Is Assigned, Not Implied

Every number has an owner. *Clear responsibility lines *Signed-off positions *Documented judgment calls
