neutral  TechLawDC: I don't think the "del" in "del acta" renders the thought "a formal report" as opposed to just "a report", but I yield to your experience if you have seen this repeatedly.

agree  Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales: Also, "official" report. However, if you "file" a report, it is very likely official (or formal), so I think leaving it out would be ok.

neutral  TechLawDC: The loss or destruction of something does not constitute "proceedings" documented by "minutes"; any contemporary record (or near-contemporary record) prepared is more properly called a "report", and certainly not "minutes".

by writing [and submitting] a report


Explanation:
I don't think that with the use of the word levantamiento the author meant anything other than "writing" (or "drafting"). However I agree with Answerer Bowley that "filing" (or "submitting") is understood. Whether the report is deemed "formal" depends on organizational rules etc. which are not disclosed as context by the Asker.

by way of AmE > recordation BrE/IrE > record drawn up


Explanation:
Note that recordation in US Am. need not refer to an escrow 'deeding' and registration of land - see the Merriam Webster ref., plus minuting cf. Ninoslav might be deemed incongruous outside of a construction reporting and company meeting context.

A legalistic turn of phrase like 'engrossment of the record' is bound to attract howls and squeals of protest against archaic legal English, plus an 'engrossed Bill' in the US Senate - as is well-known in the UK - sends the meaning a different way.

must report ... to (rephrased as given below)


Explanation:
"levantamiento del acta" just means writing/drawing up a report. This is just a very long-winded way of saying that any loss or theft of assets must be (officially) reported to the relevant authorities (i.e. the police or in Mexico at least, el Ministerio Público).

This whole section
"En los casos de robo o extravío de un bien, el usuario deberá denunciar el caso ante las autoridades competentes a través del levantamiento del acta..."

can just be translated as:
Users must report any theft or loss of assets to the competent authorities

...and notify the manager [or whatever you're using for "administrador"] in writing so the necessary steps may be taken.

For "autoridades competentes" I usually use "competent", but "relevant" and "responsible" could also work.
