Rules of Procedure

SASB’s Rules of Procedure established the processes and practices followed by the SASB Standards Board in its standard-setting activities and in its governance and oversight of related processes and practices undertaken by its technical staff.

The SASB Rules of Procedure was in the process of being revised and underwent a public comment period prior to the consolidation of the Value Reporting Foundation into the IFRS Foundation. The Rules of Procedure exposure draft, which was available for public comment from August 28, 2020-December 31, 2020, can be found here. The original, 2017 version of the Rules of Procedure can be found here.

In establishing formal governance procedures, the Rules described SASB’s organisational structure, including the role of the SASB Standards Board. The Rules then provided an overview of the process to set SASB Standards.
