Indeed. If management merely "rubber-stamps" whatever recommendations
or suggestions auditors make, it certainly can create the appearance
that the auditors are "running the show". That doesn't change the facts
that management makes policy and auditors report on compliance with
policy, and that if the policy is "wrong" it's not the auditors' heads
that will roll.
