German "Controlling" is not controlling, but cost control. Otherwise, comptroller would be possible..

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you adamgajlewicz especially for the hint no to use controlling the way we do in German. However, cost control seems to be Kostenkontrolle which is not the same as "Controlling" in German"
