Governance

The Audit Bureaux of Australia (ABA) consist of two independent bodies; the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) and the Circulations Audit Board (CAB). Both bodies are not-for-profit industry organisations that work closely with the industry to provide services relevant to members' needs while providing the integrity of third party verification of data.

The ABC and CAB work closely together and have joint initiatives where members from both bodies are involved such as the Digital Watchdog Committee. Learn more about the Digital Watchdog Committee.
