Spanish term or phrase: efectuar un alcance
This appears in an official letter from the Superintendencia de Bancos to the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Ecuador:

"Con la finalidad de dar claridad jurídica a la condición estipulada en el párrafo No. 5 se recomienda que el Directorio del Banco Central _efectúe un alcance_ al sentido de la resolución anteriormente enunciada."

English translation:make a comment
Explanation:
I agree with the previous answers on the what they're trying to say by "efectuar un alcance , not on the specific meaning of the expression. In this case "alcance" has the meaning of the expression "hacer/efectuar un alcance", which is just a more stylish way to say "make a comment".

examine the scope (or significance) of the resolution


Explanation:
The word "alcance" has several meanings which include "scope" or "significance".
In Spanish, the verb "efectuar" is rather ambigious and depending on the particular context, can usually be substituted by another verb (more accurate or ad hoc for that context).

Hope my suggestion helps:-)
