: this would suggest there is an anti-social body//I don't want to appear unsociable or anti-social, but I've spent the last 30 years trying to work out whether the Latin-based term 'social' is corporate, welfare-code or industrial-tribunal related.

But there surely is, isn't there? Look: 828 English pages for "anti-social body". // It all depends on the context, but it may mean any of them. But you didn't hesitate in agreeing with my alternative suggestion, later presented by another colleague.

constituent corporate element
Hi Judith - I have been racking my brain on this for a while and talking it over with a Harvard lawyer friend of mine here at the office. I found the web reference:
http://www.nerlei.pt/files/19544_cap__46f7e0aa43f10.pdf
which it seems to indicate that "órgão social" refers to a "branch" of corporate responsibility or oversight: (1) the Shareholders Representatives, (2) the Board of Directors, and (3) the Management Team (President/CEO/CFO/COO, Treasurer, or what have you, depending on each individual company's structure.)
Since we don't have a word (that I know of) in English that encompasses these constituent corporate parts or elements, I made the above suggestion that seems to transmit the idea.
Here is another reference, from a Portugal Telecom document that indicates there was an internal auditing committee that was subordinate to the Management Board that was (or at least it was puit to the shareholders for voting) recreated as its own constituent corporate element (my words), which is to some extent autonomous in that it can deliberate on its own, rather than simply make recommendations for the Management Board to vote on...
"a Sociedade dispôs, desde 2003, de uma Comissão de Auditoria, a qual funcionou como uma comissão interna do Conselho de Administração e não como **órgão social** objecto de eleição autónoma;
"A Comissão de Auditoria, funcionando enquanto **órgão social,** deverá garantir as competências atribuídas à Comissão de Auditoria que funcionava como comissão interna do Conselho de Administração..."
http://www.telecom.pt/NR/rdonlyres/43D69F13-4302-4A17-825D-6...
As an adjective, constituent = serving as part of a whole; component; empowered to elect or designate.
(American Heritage Dictionary)
So, using constituent as an adjective, also considered:
constituent body
constituent part
constituent component
constituent entity
Since your question is about a company, then it would be the corporation's or company's autonomous constituent oversight entities, but it could also be a constituent entity of an association.
Anyway, good luck!!

: no bad (except it's a translation) - but definately better than corporate body, which sounds like a company, and your example also supports that a "corporate body' is a company. Good job, Elvira.
