means/funds/resources at one's disposal
This is a very quirky Swedish way of structuring a noun phrase. Since this sentence continues after the colon, I might suggest rephrasing the whole passage. In order to be able to do so, it would require you to post the following lines as well.
"Till förfogande stående medel" is a quirkier way of writing "medel som står till förfogande" = "means/funds/resources (which are) at your/our disposal"
The Board and MD/President suggest to [verb(s) from points further down in text] ... means at [x's] disposal.
The above is just an ill-crafted frame, so for a better translation, more context would be helpful.

: "standing profit" is not English. Very few Google refs, from non-English sites.

I know the question has been closed but I'm hoping asker will check this again.
Mårten in correct is saying this is a quirky Swedish phrase. It comes from an annual report under the heading proposed allocation of earnings (förslag till resultatdisposition). Instead of "earnings" you can opt for deficit or profit.
They're probably gonna carry the balance forward...
Check out Credit Suisse's annual report for ref.

: Useful intervention, Mary. As you suggest, Mårten has brilliantly untangled a quirky Swedish phrase. But your translation is what would actually be used in a US/British annual report,& accounts, not the typically Swedish usage in the question.
