grant discharge
In this context, discharge means 'full approval' and so 'to grant a discharge' is the perfect translation for this term. Always used in finance.
Example sentence:
Parliament decides whether to approve the Commission’s handling of the budget for the previous financial year. This approval process is technically known as ‘granting a discharge’.

Although the previous suggestion is not wrong, this translation avoids the double meaning of "discharge" (i.e. sacking!)

: The other term may be 'technically correct' but would have to be explained to a lay person attending the meeting.
