Options for converting financial statements to XBRL format

Process involved in ACRA filing why file in iXBRL

What are the resources required for submitting Annual Returns to ACRA?

Filers have to deal with:

  • Tagging entity financial statements in XBRL
  • Converting other supporting schedules in pdf;
  • Accessing ACRA's BizFin portal to file online (e-filing);

How to prepare and file XBRL reports?

Companies have multiple options to consider when it comes to preparing their XBRL reports. The best option will depend on the resources available in house.

  • If you have in-house expertise then you can download and install ACRA’s free BizFinx preparation tool which incorporates the appropriate taxonomy and allows tagging of data elements against the taxonomy.
  • If you prefer an XBRL expert’s help then you could consider outsourcing XBRL production altogether to XBRL service providers like FinTags. We receive your existing financial statements in non-XBRL format accounts (e.g. Word or PDF format) and send you back accurately tagged XBRL files after quality check and successful test filing with ACRA's portal.
  • If you are already using a third party software then consider the possibility that the software vendor may have already have incorporated the feature that allows you to export data into inline XBRL. These software may include accounting software, enterprise resource planning software, or disclosure management software.
