recognition .... different
"the recognition of the different objectives of each company function"
this is either one army against another, or the contrast between two different things. A more obvious way to do it is with
"the balance between the different objectives of each company function"

counterbalance
I think what they're saying is that reciprocal controls are in place to ensure that the goals set for each department are not in conflict with each other.

BTW, although the meaning is to counterbalance, I wouldn't actually use that word, I'd change the sentence to convey the same meaning.

: I think the main problem is that the author has already just said the same thing twice with "bilanciamento" and "prevedere forme di controllo reciproco"
