Advertising Standards Bureau Review of Operations 2014 | Page 15

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.
