Dutch term or phrase: kent een gezamenlijke verantwoordelijkheid
"De functie richt zich primair op de afdeling XYZ met name op bedrijfsprocessen die binnen deze afdeling worden uitgevoerd en *kent een gezamenlijke verantwoordelijkheid* voor de uitvoering van het beleid van ABC."

I'm stuck here. The position can focus primarily on the XYZ dept., but it seems rather odd for it to 'know' mutual responsibilities for the execution of a policy. Feedback with the proper collocation would be appreciated. TIA. Rob

Ah, now that makes sense! I appreciate the input from everyone, but I'll prefer David's option with a minor modification to the verb.

Cheers,
