corporate review


Explanation:
This sounds like a special situation where the General Assembly of shareholders decided to call on an independent auditor to conduct a review.

Oversight and supervision imply on-going managerial responsibilities- this does not seem to apply here.

The hiring of a special auditor to review, perhaps, operational and/or financial practices appears to be the context.

Why do so many give themselves a rating of "5" without any evidence or cites?

The translation is:

The review will be conducted by an Auditor to be named by the General Assembly.
