Dutch term or phrase: activa en passiva met elkaar in overeenstemming brengen

Can anyone with more financial expertise advise on correct phrasing here? Interview with someone who's just taken up a teaching and research post at a business school. Here she's talking about her past
work experience.

Wat is uw specifieke onderzoeksinteresse binnen Finance & Accounting?

"Ik ben vooral bezig met onderzoek in international finance en corporate finance. Dat sluit niet aan bij mijn praktijkervaring waar ik eerst als financieel analist gewerkt heb en daarna als investeringsmanager in een verzekeringsmaatschappij. Risk management en vermogensbeheer waren m'n voornaamste taken. Ik maakte ook deel uit van investeringscomités die beslissingen namen waar en in welk type van activa het goed was te investeren. Verder zetelde ik ook in assets & liability comités die de risico's binnen een organisatie controleren en bekijken hoe je **activa en passiva het best met elkaar in overeenstemming brengt**.

...committees that examine the risks within an organisation and look at the best way to reconcile/harmonise/match assets and liabilities / bring a&l in line with each other ??

Suggestions all from De Keizer, but not being very finance savvy, I'm at a loss which is the most "authentic" option.
