In this case, do both "as of" and "dated" work in the same way?
Are they both correct?
(I mean the situation where the organization was changed on December 1 and the SOP was revised on the same day.)
Thank you in advance.
We wouldn't use them together, no.
Along with the organisation changes of December 1, 2012 ...
Along with the organisation changes dated December 1, 2012 ...
I wouldn't use "as of" here at all.
