The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) invites members of the public to provide feedback on the usability of the new BizFinx preparation tool.
Background
ACRA first implemented the filing of financial statements in XBRL in 2007 as part of the move towards enhancing business reporting and information flow. Enhancements under ACRA XBRL Revamp are aimed at meeting the needs of two key stakeholders, namely the preparers and consumers. While we facilitates the preparation and filing process of XBRL financial statements for businesses, the breadth and depth of XBRL will be increased to improve the quality of XBRL financial statements.
The new BizFinx preparation tool is provided free of charge, as part of the ACRA XBRL Revamp. Companies may use the BizFinxpreparation tool to prepare XBRL financial statements in accordance with the revised XBRL filing requirements of a full set of financial statements in XBRL.
The revised XBRL filing requirements are scheduled for implementation in the second half of 2013, during October 2013.
