Advisory Committees

About the ASC

The ASC has eight advisory committees comprised of industry representatives who provide advice concerning the development of new or amended securities regulation. These expert committees help keep staff up-to-date on industry views and current business practices as a means to support intelligent regulation.

We value the contribution of our advisory committee members for their broad-based expertise. Click below to learn more about each committee and its representatives.
