XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language. It is a format implemented internationally for financial reporting, which gives greater transparency as data can be analysed almost immediately with software tools.
Currently, all companies incorporated in Singapore are required to file annual financial statements with ACRA in the XBRL format as part of the Annual Return filing, except for companies that meet the exemption criteria i.e. exempt private companies (EPC) that are solvent, companies limited by guarantee etc.
For private limited companies that meet the definition of smaller and non-publicly accountable companies, you may file the financial statements in the Simplified XBRL template instead of the Full XBRL template.
A smaller company refers to a company with revenue not more than S$500,000 and total assets not more than S$500,000 in the Financial Year covered by the financial statements. A non-publicly accountable company refers to a company that is not listed or in the process of listing on securities exchange in Singapore, not listed on an exchange outside of Singapore and is not a financial institution.
