Introduction

XBRL, also known as eXtensible Business Reporting Language, was introduced by ACRA to standardise how financial statements are filed online.

In this guide, you will learn how to use DashBod to help you to generate and download your Financial Statement Highlights in XBRL format for submission to ACRA.

Your Financial Statement Highlights refer to the presentation of key accounts such as revenue or operating profit, instead of every single account line item. They are typically used to provide a quick overview of a company’s recent performance.
