XBRL Services Provider for ACRA filing.
In Singapore, XBRL filing is not optional — it is a statutory requirement enforced by ACRA. What you need to file depends entirely on your company type, size, and classification.
All Singapore-incorporated companies must file financial statements unless exempt. Getting your classification right is the first and most critical step.
This is where most businesses get confused. Your filing requirements depend entirely on your company classification.
Most SMEs fall here. You must file:
✓ Simplified XBRL financial statements
✓ Full set of financial statements in PDF (director-approved)
Must file Full XBRL financial statements (Full taxonomy) plus PDF. More complex tagging with higher error risk.
Must file XBRL FSH (sector-specific templates) plus PDF financial statements.
Companies limited by guarantee and entities with special ACRA approval submit PDF financial statements only.
"Choosing the wrong format = instant rejection. We classify your company correctly — every time."
Your XBRL file is NOT just numbers — it's structured data tagging. Each item must be mapped to ACRA taxonomy tags, which is critical for validation.
Choosing the wrong format results in instant rejection from ACRA's BizFinx system.
