"The Advertising Standards Authority is the independent body set up 
by the advertising industry to police the rules laid down in the 
advertising codes. The strength of the self-regulatory system lies in 
both the independence of the ASA and the support and commitment of 
the advertising industry, through the Committee of Advertising 
Practice (CAP), to the standards of the codes, protecting consumers 
and creating a level playing field for advertisers" - their website
