This word has caused me a number of problems, as it never seems to mean 'accompany' but more like 'monitor', 'supervise', etc.
What can it mean here?

monitoring
Based upon your sentence, I think this word fits best.
Agree... it's one of those words that can go a couple of different ways in English depending upon the context.
Good luck!

control
Control here means ongoing observation, monitoring, supervision, etc. I think this is a standard expression: inspection (fiscalização) and control (acompanhamento): 48,000 hits on Google - which I know u cant trust 100%, but it sometimes gives u a good idea of what's acceptable.
