What is XBRL Singapore requirement for businesses?
Financial reports filing in XBRL format is compulsory for most businesses in Singapore. All companies incorporated in Singapore (whether limited by shares or unlimited) – unless exempt - must file their financial statements with ACRA in XBRL format.
To understand their compliance requirements, companies need to first find out if they qualify for filing a full XBRL report or XBRL highlights or PDF reports.
What are Full XBRL and XBRL highlights?
Not every company needs to file a full set of XBRL in Singapore. In some cases, some financial highlights in XBRL format, with a PDF of the financial statements tabled at the AGM, are enough. According to ACRA, these XBRL highlights must contain 50 data elements that provide the most relevant company information.
On the other hand, a full set of XBRL in Singapore consists of the following information for the last financial year –
- Statement of financial position
- Statement of profit or loss
- Changes in equity
- Cash flow
- Financial notes or comparative information
Full XBRL XBRL highlights & PDF copy Full XBRL or PDF copy & XBRL highlights Exempt Only PDF copy Public/private companies (limited or unlimited by shares) Commercial bank, merchant bank, registered insurer or a finance company regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore Insolvent EPCs Solvent Exempt Private Companies (EPCs) - but they are encouraged to file full XBRL or highlights.
