XBRL Services Provider for ACRA filing.
Step-by-step guide to preparing, validating, and submitting your XBRL financial statements to ACRA — from BizFinx to BizFile+.
Companies must prepare and submit XBRL financial statements as part of their annual return filing with ACRA. The process involves six key stages — from finalising financials to ACRA acceptance via BizFile+.
Follow these six steps to prepare, validate, and submit your XBRL filing to ACRA accurately and on time.
Finalize audited or unaudited financials. Ensure compliance with Singapore accounting standards.
FOUNDATION STEPYou can do this using: BizFinx Preparation Tool (free tool), approved accounting software, or an XBRL service provider.
CONVERSIONTag each financial element correctly. Ensure consistency with source financials. This is where most technical errors occur.
MOST ERROR-PRONERun validation checks in BizFinx. Fix errors before submission.
VALIDATIONSubmit XBRL as part of annual return. Attach PDF financial statements.
SUBMISSIONFiling is checked for compliance. Errors → rejection → resubmission required.
FINAL STEPChoose the approach that fits your company's resources, expertise, and risk tolerance.
Late filing triggers ACRA penalties and director liability. Plan your XBRL preparation well ahead of your Annual Return deadline.
Listed companies must file XBRL financial statements within five months of their financial year-end as part of their Annual Return.
Private companies have a seven-month window. Late submissions may result in ACRA fines and director liability.
Missing the filing deadline triggers financial penalties and can result in personal liability for company directors under the Companies Act.
Understanding where XBRL filings fail helps you prepare — or decide whether to outsource entirely.
Incorrectly mapping financial items to ACRA taxonomy elements is the single most common cause of rejection.
BizFinx validation flags technical inconsistencies that require accounting knowledge to diagnose and resolve correctly.
Full XBRL requires line-by-line tagging across all financial statements — a process that can take days without specialist tools.
The complexity, rejection risk, and deadline pressure of XBRL filing make professional outsourcing the preferred choice for most Singapore companies.
Every rejected filing means corrections, revalidation, and resubmission — costing time and risking late penalties.
