(1) delegation of duties; (2) committee

Hi, Penelope: In the context you provide, "delegación" means delegation of duties. When they say "actualmente existe una delegación aprobada", they mean there exists a document by which the Board of Directors of AA has given its authorization to employees of XX to carry out certain tasks.
That's how I understand it.
