Singapore, Dec 20 2014: DataTracks, a leader in compliance reporting services for preparing annual returns in XBRL format made inroads into Singapore for its tagging Services.

ACRA (The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) in Singapore has mandated all Singapore incorporated companies whether public or private to file their financial statements in XBRL format. The companies will need to file their financials in XBRL effective from March 2014. Although, XBRL implementation is in nascent stage in Singapore, it has been accepted widely in European countries and North America as the foremost interactive data format for financial disclosures. Dominic Savio, Vice President, Business Development said, “Singapore provides us with exciting business opportunities for XBRL tagging services and DataTracks would strive to make XBRL implementation process simple and affordable for companies and accounting firms here. XBRL has been gaining acceptance as a globally recognized data format for financial reporting and Singapore has been quick to adopt it for making financial disclosures transparent and reliable.
