Advertising Standards Bureau
Board of Directors
The Advertising Standards
Bureau is a limited company
headed by a Board of
Directors. Under the
Constitution of the Advertising
Standards Board, there must
be between three and six
directors of the company that
is the Advertising Standards
Bureau (the ASB).
The Bureau Board is responsible, with the CEO,
for the corporate governance of the Advertising
Standards Bureau. With strategic, financial and
operational concerns within its purview, the Board
works to continually improve the operation of the
ASB in its role as the complaints resolution body
for advertising in Australia.
The Bureau Board has the integrity of the
advertising self-regulation system at heart. It
insists on absolute separation between the work
of the Bureau Board and that of the Advertising
Standards Board.
