French term or phrase: Auditeurs
Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to distinguish "auditeurs" from "commissaires aux comptes". "Auditors" and "statutory auditors"? The context is:

L'entreprise s'engage a communiquer l'information à son courtier d'assurance, à ses conseils juridiques, à ses commissaires aux comptes, à ses auditeurs et aux organismes fiscaux et sociaux en cas de contrôle.

Cheers,
Nick

Non-statutory auditor


Explanation:
optionally engaged and non-mandatory, as suggested by Smu's weblink referring to 'facultatif' and vs. statutory auditor for commissaire aux comptes, as mentioned by the question itself.

Difference from internal auditor

Probably best to leave "statutory" out of it in my opinion, keep it simple, as your audience will understand the set-up anyway.
