English term or phrase: appropriate - betroffene vs. betreffende
Hallo!
In meinem Text über Unternehmensethik kommt folgende Passage vor:

Each inquiry will be treated in a confidential manner, and a closed-loop process will ensure the *appropriate* managers and the complainant are informed of the outcome of the investigation process.

Die Frage:
Nehme ich "betreffend" oder "betroffen" oder gibt es eine bessere Formulierung?

Bin gespannt, wie ihr das seht!

Danke!

agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: welcome at ProZ.com rosemarie! It's customary to just post an 'agree' to a previous poster's suggestion rather than posting the same suggestion twice. Great to have you with us;)
