Dutch term or phrase: de organisatie aan zekere basis...
This sentence is confusing me:
...onder de voorwarde dat zij de organisatie van X aan zekere basis vereisten terzake van functiescheidingen etc. kon voldoen.

Explanation:
"...onder de voorwarde dat zij de organisatie van X aan zekere basis vereisten terzake van functiescheidingen etc. kon voldoen."

Lousy Dutch, without any doubt.

Should read: 'onder de voorwaarde (op voorwaarde) dat de organisatie van X kon voldoen aan bepaalde basisvereisten inzake functiescheidingen' ='provided organis/zation ...could meet certain basic requirements concerning...'

Or: 'onder de voorwaarde (op voorwaarde) dat zij kon voldoen aan bepaalde door organisatie X gestelde basisvereisten inzake functiescheidingen'

= '...provided she could meet certain basic requirements...'

Explanation:
missing in the sentence, or there is a word that is superfluous.
If the word "zij" were to be left out, the sentence would make sense.
A translation could then read as follows: Provided (subject to the condition that) the organisation of X could (can?) meet certain basic duty segregation requirements.

neutral  jarry (X): In auditing and accounting, the most commonly used term for "functiescheiding" is duty segregation. I also believe that there are more elegant ways of phrasing your sentence.
