A Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) is a publication by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff that provides guidance on how publicly traded companies should apply generally accepted accounting principles. These bulletins clarify existing rules and offer interpretive advice on complex accounting issues. They are not formal rules but reflect the staff’s views. SABs influence financial reporting practices.
