German term

prüfen

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This is from a handbook of the code of business conduct and ethics.

1.Das Global Compliance Department wird das Key Management einmal jährlich prüfen, ob diese Unternehmensgrundsätze eingehalten wurden.

2. Zum geprüften Key Management zählen die Ebenen der Vice Presidents ect.....

Irgendwie stehe ich gerade auf dem Schlauch. Man kann doch das "Key Managment" nicht testen. Und wenn ich "verify" oder "review" nehme, was mach ich dann mit dem "geprüften Key Managment"?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks :-)

review

I think review fits best. Monitoring, to me, is more of an ongoing process.

And "the reviewed Key Management..."

monitor

"monitor" would fit with your adjective too, I think, i.e. "previously monitored" or similar in this context

although monitor doesn\'t really suggest a one-off occurrence, does it? So I think I\'d go with your \"review\" and rebuild the next sentence around \"reviewed\"
Peer comment(s):
agree David Hollywood : you were in first Barnaby and I think "monitor" is the most flexible way of doing this one :)

neutral Steffen Walter : "monitor" is not a perfect fit IMO, for the reasons you gave yourself: monitoring is continuous in nature, in contrast to a one-off event.

neutral Robin Ward : Must go along with Steffen here.-

monitor

"supervise" as another option

\"monitor\" is still ok as it\'s an annual \"check\" to ensure compliance with corporate principles
Peer comment(s):
neutral Steffen Walter : But this annual check is a one-off occurrence so I don't really think that "monitor" would fit best here.

to assess/check/evaluate (key management compliance with business/corporate principles)

Barnaby is right in that "monitor(ing)" is a continuous process and, for that reason, would not fit well with a one-off event, hence my suggestion. "review" is a valid option, though.

2. Assessed key management levels include ...

agree Robin Ward : From the hundreds of texts of this nature with which I am familiar, I'd say that "check" fits best, followed by "assess".-

The Global Compliance Department will verify once a year whether the Key Management lives up to our business principles.
