Swedish term or phrase: påskrivande revisor
I am translating an employee survey conducted by an accounting firm. The term "påskrivande revisorer" occurs in this text.

Based on my accounting background, I assume this means "auditors who are authorized to sign audit statements," but is there a shorter, better English term than that long phrase?

Explanation:
Now that I see the, I would think that they simply mean auditors responding to the survey, and nothing more. Att skriva på, after all, can also mean to agree, to state, etc.
