This is actually something important: auditors are all over the place and the 'checkbox types' tend to be insistent on all kinds of busywork that the standard they are auditing against doesn't require at all. As the company being audited you are definitely in a position to push back (but maybe not with that particular language).

If you know the standard you are audited against as well or better than your auditor you're in a good position to spot such deviations and avoid a bunch of unnecessary (and sometimes conflicting) 'requirements'. The less competent auditors might not like this but they're probably not going to challenge serious pushback and if they do you're free to contact their employers and ask for someone more qualified.
