Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: Entlastung erteilen
I realise this phrase has cropped up before, but the meaning appears different here. From a "partner resolution":

Herr *** hat mit Schreiben vom heutigen Tage sein Amt als Geschäftsführer mit sofortiger Wirkung niedergelegt; ihm wird für seine Tätigkeit als Geschäftsführer Entlastung erteilt.

Thanks!
