I need to find a really pompous way of saying something

3 of us volunteer for a charity doing some office admin work.

One of us is a pompous old sod and marginally in charge, 2 of us are quite normal.

The pompous one asked the normal one to ask me to "facilitate the requisite virements by conclusion of play", which basically means a bookkeeping transfer between two accounts.

What is the most pompous sounding way I can reply to say I've done it?

I've only just done it now after putting the kids to bed so I'm not sure I have done it by "conclusion of play" right enough. But I've done it.

This stew is celerity.

This made me laugh.

(And no, I'm not clever enough to have that word in my vocabulary.)

Probably not what you're looking for but whenever DH or I complete a task the other one requested we say:
Dundiddlydundun in a South American drawl. It's oddly satisfying.

Not all that kind and decent though OP, ageist and hiding it in public

I'm 48, he's 52, 3rd team member is 64. He's 4 whole years older than me, almost to the day, our birthdays are in the same month.

And I know this because we've talked about it, I haven't been sneaking through the personnel files.
