German term or phrase: die Geschäftsführung wahrnehmen
This appears at the end of a company's annual report in the "Miscellaneous notes" section where the structure of the company is briefly summarised:
----
Die Geschäftsführung der -KG wird von der Verwaltungs-GmbH wahrgenommen, die auch persönlich haftende Gesellschafterin ist.
----
I can have a reasonable guess, but this isn't a usage of Wahrnehmen I've come across before, and there isn't anything that jumps out of the dictionaries at me.

Does anyone know of (ideally) the standard way of expressing this in corporate English?

Asker: Thanks, that's what I thought too, but the convolution had me doubting (which is a covoluted way of saying "I wasn't sure"!)
