XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) is a structured format mandated by ACRA for submitting financial statements, aiming to improve accuracy and transparency in corporate reporting.
-
Who is required to file in XBRL format?
Companies limited by shares must file full financial statements in XBRL, except:
- MAS regulates financial institutions (banks, insurers, finance companies).
- Foreign companies & local branches, which can submit PDF financial statements with XBRL highlights.
-
What happens if my company fails to comply with XBRL filing requirements?
Failure to file XBRL-compliant financial statements can result in regulatory penalties and potential delays in corporate filings with ACRA.

How long does the XBRL filing process take?
It depends on the complexity of your financial statements. With VIVOS, most XBRL filings are completed within 5-7 working days.

Who needs to prepare transfer pricing documentation, and what must it include?
Companies with gross revenue over SGD 10 million or those already required in prior years must maintain contemporaneous TP documentation. This includes a group business overview and details of intercompany transactions, like functional and economic analyses.
