Italian term or phrase: darci scarico

Hi, I have this at the end of the report on the financial statements, addressed to the Shareholders' Meeting. I understand the literal meaning of 'to give us discharge for our work' but is there a nice English phrase that we would use?
Many thanks

Vi chiediamo di approvare il conto annuale per l’esercizio 2019/2020 e di darci scarico del nostro operato,

ratify the work we have done

Explanation:
As a non-accountant, I must have been mistranslating this phrase and equivalents in other lingos for decades.

I doubt we are being discharged, namely fired in the sense of dismissed or out of a cannon..

Descargo: entry 3 der soc / corp. law *ratification of the acts* of an officer or director, West SPA / AmE dictionary of law and business

Otherwise, an English audio-typist in our one-time London translation office seemed keener on giving the Board 'gratification'.

discharge us (from our duties)

Explanation:
It means approve the audit.

The Committee shall review the performance of the Auditors and discharge the Auditors if and when the Committee determines that circumstances warrant.

The discharge of the Auditors is a legal requirement for Belgian companies. However shareholders who voted in favour of the discharge are precluded from bringing suit against the company.
