I vaguely recall that notifying the auditee to comply might not be the best option if there's a legitimate conflict. Requesting resolution seems more appropriate.

I’m a bit uncertain here. I thought we were supposed to ensure compliance, but if there's a conflict, maybe we shouldn't just ignore it?

I think we practiced a similar question where the auditor had to address conflicting documents. I feel like requesting resolution makes the most sense.

I remember discussing how conflicts between procedures and policies can complicate audits, but I'm not sure if we should just close the request or ask for resolution.
