 Don't Know Squat!:

 Ask the Auditors if they will help you fill out all the APARs and
 collect the supporting documents

 IMO: Any Auditor who wants to tell me how to do my job (as opposed to
 just critiquing how I do it) is not qualified to do so UNLESS he can do
 my job in the first place.

IMO I can't play a violin, but I can tell you if you play horribly. I
can't brick lay, but I can assess if your wall is askew.
Etc, etc.

Of course the above does not mean the auditor can be totally ignorant
and can demand anything he think it makes sense.


You are basically agreeing with me and saying the same thing as I did. All of your examples are critiquing the performance of the task NOT saying HOW TO PERFORM it.

Telling how to do something falls under the heading of being an instructor/teacher. That role, IMO, requires that you have done what you are instructing others how to do.
