grant discharge to the Board
in Spain, generally translated as "approve the Board's conduct of business in the previous year". Essentially the Shareholders' Meeting gives the Board a blanket approval of what it did the previous year, thus relieving it from liability. "Censurar" does not imply criticism in this context, and it has nothing to do with "auditing"
Example sentence:
Agenda item 3: Discharge from liability of the members of the Board of Management for the performance of their duties in 2006 (voting point)
Proposed resolution: the General Meeting gives a discharge to the Directors.
