insynsråd
Swedish to English
Social Sciences
Government / Politics
My text is actually in French, but refers to the insynsråd. For the sake of those who understand French:
"Enfin, en 2008, ce conseil a été supprimé et remplacé par un « conseil de surveillance» (insynsråd) dont les membres sont nommés par le gouvernement (cf. infra)."
It's saying that the county council executive boards (landstingsstyrelse) referred to earlier in the paragraph were replaced by the insynsråd. For most of the terms in my text, I've managed to find translations directly from Swedish, but I've found various options for this, so I'd like the advice of people who work from Swedish, especially as many of the proposals seem to be for business contexts.
What do you think of "advisory board"?
Could someone also tell me the plural of insynsråd (indefinite version, rather than the inflected version)?

advisory council
If you don't read Swedish, this will be harder to follow.
The document at the link from Charlesp includes this text:
"Vid sidan av myndighetens chef kan ett rådgivande organ utan beslutsfunktion förekomma, ett insynsråd, som utses av regeringen. Insynsråd kan exempelvis utses om myndighetens verksamhet är av sådan karaktär att insyn bedöms angelägen och om kunskap och unik kompetens på detta sätt kan tillföras."
The important part is the phrase "utan beslutsfunktion", which is italicized there for emphasis and means "without a decision-making function".
In a similar vein is this, at page 30 at the link below:
"Advisory council
The Committee proposes that the Security Service should have an advisory council. This council should be able to observe all the operations conducted by the Security Service. The members of the advisory council should be nominated by all parties represented in the Riksdag. However, given the special features of the Security Service, it is appropriate to ensure that the group of persons with access to its operations does not grow too broad. Advisory council members should also be subject to security clearance.
The work of the Security Service includes operations of a sensitive nature for personal integrity, where transparency to citizens and democratic influence are important. An advisory council can provide knowledge, breadth and diversity to support the authority’s management."
The use by the Swedish courts of "Supervisory Council" is plain error, in my opinion. In no way does such a body exercise any actual authority over the courts.

I should have probably included this from the linked report I cite, at page 18 of the report:
"Insynsråd
Kommittén föreslår att det ska finnas ett insynsråd vid Säkerhetspolisen. Insynsrådet ska ha möjlighet till insyn i hela den verksamhet som Säkerhetspolisen bedriver. Ledamöterna i insynsrådet bör nomineras av samtliga i riksdagen representerade partier. Mot bakgrund av särdragen i Säkerhetspolisens verksamhet är det dock lämpligt att den krets som får insyn i myndigheten inte blir alltför vid. Ledamöterna i insynsrådet bör genomgå säkerhetsprövning.
"Säkerhetspolisens arbete innefattar integritetskänslig verksamhet där det är särskilt betydelsefullt med god medborgerlig insyn och demokratiskt inflytande. Ett insynsråd kan tillföra kunskap, bredd och mångfald till stöd för myndighetens ledning."

Might be worth considering...

Supervisory Board
I would say "Supervisory Board" and not 'advisory' - though I don't have any specific references to support this.

They "ge råd till generaldirektören," so one might think that it is only advisory, but considering the make-up of the Board, and that it bidra till medborgarnas inflytande i verksamheten I think it is more supervisory than advisory.

Last comment: insynwould be to 'look into,' i.e. to supervise, and not really to simply appear as window-dressing (i.e. an advisory board)

If it is an EU body, it is officially a Supervisory Board.

If an international organisation, esp. dealing with Military equipment, it would be Board of Supervisors (BoS)

Discussion
The term 'monitoring' does imply some degree of supervision. Ie, keeping a watchful eye on things...
9 § Om regeringen har bestämt att det skall finnas ett
insynsråd vid myndigheten, skall rådet utöva insyn i
verksamheten och ge myndighetschefen råd.
Insynsrådet består av det antal ledamöter som regeringen
bestämmer.
Myndighetschefen skall vara ordförande i insynsrådet och hålla
rådet informerat om verksamheten.
Does the Swedish imply that there is supervision?
