About the Reports

Since 2003, we've been conducting Professional Body Benchmarking Surveys (PBBS) every three years. The PBBS tracks the progress of the professional body sector over an extensive period of time, giving you a detailed picture of how professional bodies are developing and how your organisation matches up in several key areas.

The Professional Body Benchmarking Survey looks into three key areas; governance, CPD and membership, providing invaluable benchmarking information to the sector.

At the moment the Research Team are finalising the 2022 Report.

"This was incredibly useful for the governance review I undertook for Council”  
Ria Robinson, Director of Director of Membership & Governance,  Association of Corporate Treasurers
"This report will greatly help us in our ongoing review of our own governance.”  
David Cullen, Registrar, The Law Society of Scotland
