An alliance of the Association of National Advertisers, the American Association of Advertising Agencies, the American Advertising Federation and the Council of Better Business Bureaus. The Advertising Self-Regulatory Council's (ASRC) mission is to foster truth and accuracy in national advertising through voluntary self-regulation.
The self-regulatory system developed by ASRC supports advertiser compliance by focusing on three goals:
- Provide a fast, flexible alternative to government regulation.
- Maintain a level playing field for settling disputes among competing advertisers.
- Increase public Trust in the credibility of advertising.
