承知いたしました。ご指示の通り進めてまいります。 — Understood. I will proceed exactly as instructed. (Workplace · Meeting, Formal to Superior, JLPT N3)

Gesture & etiquette

Bow slightly as you say this phrase, particularly if receiving face-to-face instructions. If in a meeting, write down the key instructions visibly — this signals you take the directive seriously.

「承知いたしました」is the most formal acknowledgment in Japanese business — more deferential than 「分かりました」. Combined with 「ご指示の通り」(as instructed), it signals complete alignment and removes any doubt about compliance with the superior's direction.
