ASOPs generally have these sections:

Section 1. Purpose, Scope, Cross References, and Effective Date
Section 2. Definitions
Section 3. Analysis of Issues and Recommended Practices
Section 4. Communications and Disclosures
Appendices

Sections 3 & 4 contain most of the relevant information. The definitions in Section 2 are usually obvious and familiar, and are covered in either the Werner of Friedland source texts anyway. You can skip Section 1 and the Appendices. The appendices usually contain either very general background information or comments on the draft version of the ASOP.
