This page removes format hesitation before upload and explains which files work best for accounts, computations, validation and rollover.
We accept PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, iXBRL HTML/XHTML and XBRL XML files. PDF is often preferred for final accounts, while Excel is useful for computations and trial balances. Scanned image-only PDFs are not suitable because the data cannot be reliably extracted or tagged.
