What roles do the Better Business Bureau and the National Advertising Review Board play in self-regulation of business?

What will be an ideal response?


The Better Business Bureau is a local regulatory agency supported by local businesses. When a firm continues to violate what the Better Business Bureau believes to be good business practices, the bureau warns consumers through local newspapers or broadcast media. If the offending organization is a Better Business Bureau member, it may be expelled from the local bureau. The National Advertising Review Board (NARB) is another self-regulatory entity that considers cases in which an advertiser challenges issues raised by the National Advertising Division (NAD) about an advertisement. Cases are reviewed by panels drawn from NARB members representing advertisers, agencies, and the public.
