AFSACRA-Registereinreichungen (SG)

Filing punctuality + completeness at the Singapore ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority — BizFile register) for {legal_name}. Every Singapore company (Pte Ltd, Ltd) is registered with ACRA and files its annual return + financial statements (XBRL) → returning absent:not_disclosed is essentially impossible for any company actually incorporated in Singapore. EXTRACTION RULES — MANDATORY: (1) search acra.gov.sg (BizFile / business profile) using the company's legal name OR UEN — the result returns incorporation date, company status, and the last annual-return / financial-statement filing date. (2) cross-check reputable aggregators for the latest filed accounts + status. (3) search the company's own "Investor Relations"/"Corporate Governance" page for filed accounts. Return composite_signal with sub-signals (each 0-100 + source_url): (a) filing_punctuality — how close the last annual return is to the statutory deadline (AR filed entro 7 months of FYE for non-listed, 5 months for listed; AGM held on time = 60-100; late = 30-60); (b) filing_completeness — richness of the filed accounts (consolidated + company-level financial statements (full XBRL) + directors' statement + auditor's report = 90+, exempt/simplified only = 50); (c) registry_status_active — entity active/live (live=90, struck off/in liquidation/wound up=20). Return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" ONLY if the entity is verifiably NOT incorporated in Singapore. SUB-SIGNAL OBSERVABILITY (anti-fabrication, MANDATORY): registry EXISTENCE/status is almost always verifiable, but the deposited-accounts CONTENT (filing_punctuality / filing_completeness) is frequently paywalled, fee-gated, or simply not deposited for small/private companies. If you cannot OBSERVE the actual deposit dates or document richness from a CITED source, return that sub-signal as null — do NOT estimate or guess a band from the company's size, sector or country, and do NOT treat a paywalled/undisclosed content sub-signal as "low". registry_status_active must be scored ONLY from a POSITIVE registry hit you cite (the status field visible); if you cannot locate the entity in the national registry at all (ambiguous/non-English legal name, homonym, no hit), do NOT default it to active — return it null. Not-found is NOT active. If NO sub-signal could be observed from any cited source, return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" (a genuine content-absence then resolves to a clean not_applicable, never a fabricated composite).
