This is the context: Se someterá a la voluntad de sus asociados las cuentas y el informe de gestión de 2019,

I don't understand how members can take decisions on reports, changes, etc from 2019, because I imagine that
such decisions will already have been taken. So how can I translate the above please?

Thank you for your help.

Explanation:
I realize that this is similar to Oliver's answer, but "review" is the operative word here. I am on a board of directors; we **review** the financial accounts. This is the law that applies to our board:

**Duty to Review Finances** - Davis-Stirling.comwww.davis-stirling.com › HOME › Duty-to-Review-Fin...
Every member of the board reviews the monthly documents and statements ... **Directors should review financial statements critically** and ask questions whenever ...

"Review Defined. 'Review" can be interpreted by its ordinary meaning, “to go over and examine critically or deliberately.” (Websters Dictionary.) Directors should review financial statements critically and ask questions whenever something looks amiss or does not make sense. For example, if the check register shows checks issued to a roofer but no roof work has been authorized, the board should investigate. Embezzlement may be occurring.'"

Its members will discuss/deliberate


Explanation:
Members/partners (whatever they may be) are generally required to examine and approve or reject the accounts and reports submitted to them by the executive officers and accountants at such meetings.
As "se someterá a la voluntad" refers to all the items following, I'd translate it as "discuss" or "deliberate" those matters.

neutral  AllegroTrans: This of course is correct but I think the notion of "will be submitted" needs to be in the translation

La buena voluntad es buena disposición para hacer las cosas con agrado e interés. Mala voluntad es antipatía hacia alguien."

Reference information:
Puede ser que asociados quiera decir "fellows" en ese contexto. Además, de lo que leo, se refiere a un período del pasado sobre el que dichos asociados no pueden decidir (siendo el pasado). Por ende, sostengo que se trate de un modo cortés de indicar que "los asociados serán informados sobre las cuentas y la gestión por el período del 2019.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thank you Gabriel, that was my doubt, regarding the possibility of members of a public entity being able to decide about something that has happened in the past. So they are being given information, rather than allowed to take a decision?
