With this in mind, my suggestion is to use the term "revisionsstyrelse" in Swedish to clearly show that it is separate from - rather than a committee of - the full board (styrelsen). Cf. SERN reference.
Japanese companies in addition to full board members, also include Kansayakus who are Audit and Supervisory Board Members performing a role similar to audit committees,

: Med revision avses i regel externa organ (revisor) som inte omfattas av regler som styrelsen sätter upp. Här handlar det av allt att döma om något slags styrelseorgan i företaget som handlägger redovisnings- och revisionsfrågor (värderingsbedömningar etc)

Av texten att döma är "supervisory board" något annat än "board of directors", så det kan inte översättas med "styrelse". Är det ett tyskt företag?

: Your explanation is incorrect. Linguistically "audit & supervisory board members" would not connote that more than one entity including the two parts is involved.

The text is faulty elsewhere and corporate governance is not limited by linguistic rules. It seems unlikely that "audit & supervisory board" refers to a single entity - these are quite different matters. (Later:) But "revisionsstyrelse" may well be right.
