Professional regulatory organizations are generally self-governing professional bodies, incorporated under a statute that provides for the regulation of that profession. These bodies regulate the standards of education and experience required of members to enter the profession or occupation, their standards of practice, continuing education requirements and conduct of members, and investigate and adjudicate complaints from the public or other members about alleged unprofessional conduct.
