Spanish term

Direcciones

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) banking
This is the context:
Disponer de Información de Gestión para que las ***Direcciones*** analicen mensualmente la evolución de sus servicios y corrijan desviaciones
"Direcciones" refers to the ones in different European countries where Bank XXX works.
I can't use division or department because the text has already used "división" and "departamento"

The term was discussed here http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1193954
but it doesn't seem to help much
TIA
Proposed translations (English)
4 Head/Central Offices
4 +1 Management
4 Directorates
4 Directors
4 Management Board
3 Managing Teams
3 Senior management
3 regional directors / local branch directors / international subsidiaries directors

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "thanks. In this context I think it's the best solution, but I've added "Management" to the glossary as another option."

Management

I think this is correct, although the singular (dirección) is also used.
Note from asker:
It's a good idea, but in this context "... Management Information so that the Management... " it doesn't work very well.
Peer comment(s):
agree Penelope Ausejo : I think this should be it... since you are going to use "management information", you should find a synonym

Thanks Penelope.

Directorates

This is the translation of choice for EU/ UK government documents, but it normally refers to government or international bodies. You might find it a bit too institutional in tone, although I'm sure I've come across it in a corporate sense too.
It depends on how sophisticated the corporate structure of the bank is. It might be that they have directorates (for a very large operation) for their international operations.
If not, I'd go for Edward's suggestion - Head Offices.

Managing Teams

I think this is a difficult question, as it does not refer only to the office itself, but also to the people who manages it. Maybe "managing teams" is an option.

Directors

Decisions about corrections and changes in services or perfomance are usually taken by directors or heads in these companies.

Management Board

Or Executive Board. This is a group of top executives working as a team to solve management problems from day to day, as distinguished from the Board of Directors which is composed mainly of outsiders elected by the stockholders.
Hope this helps.

regional directors / local branch directors / international subsidiaries directors

Based on you context and trying to avoid "management" (which would otherwise be my preference).
