Strengthening Governance with Accurate Documentation
Whether your company holds physical AGMs or is exempt under the Companies (Amendment) Act, proper documentation is still necessary to reflect the passing of key resolutions and the approval of financial statements.
Our support extends to the full scope of governance documentation. We draft notices of AGM, prepare standard and special resolutions for both directors and shareholders, and ensure that these are properly signed, filed, and dated.
We also advise on quorum requirements, meeting deadlines, and procedural matters to ensure your records are not only compliant but also defensible during audits, funding rounds, or shareholder reviews.
All Singapore companies must file their Annual Return (AR) with ACRA within 7 months after the end of their Financial Year End (FYE). The process follows a strict statutory sequence to avoid late filing penalties and ensure your company remains in good standing.

Here's how Colab Advisory supports you across each milestone:
We begin by reviewing your company’s financial year end, verifying shareholder and officer details, and ensuring that prior resolutions or AGM documentation are properly documented. If your company qualifies for AGM exemption, we will prepare the necessary written resolutions and ensure that the financial statements are duly adopted before submission.
Your company’s unaudited or audited financial statements must be prepared within 5 months of the FYE. These statements form the basis for AGM or written resolutions. We can assist in formatting, reviewing, or converting your records if needed.
Once the financials are adopted, our team proceeds to file the Annual Return electronically via BizFile+ We ensure that your company remains in good standing and avoids penalties, late fees, or compliance notices from ACRA.
Who Needs to File in XBRL Format
- All Singapore-incorporated companies (unless exempted) are required to file their financial statements in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format as part of the Annual Return submission with ACRA.
How We Support You
🧾Source Document Review
We begin by reviewing your financial statements (in Word, PDF, or Excel format) and checking for completeness and alignment with ACRA’s requirements. If necessary, we assist in restating or converting your figures to align with the appropriate taxonomy format.
XBRL Preparation & Mapping

📂Filing & Acknowledgement
Once complete, we file your XBRL report alongside your Annual Return via BizFile+, ensuring all documentation is accepted by ACRA and your filing is successful.
