Yes. But.

In theory, they should not be creating those lists.
Nor should they be enforcing them.

All they can do is document where you are not following them.
It's up to corporate compliance officers to enforce.

Also, you have the right to rebut(t).

Auditors are not that scary.

Creating, documenting, and enforcing standards are three duties that MUST be 
separate duties.
Anything else is a conflict of interest.

Whatever happened to Arthur Anderson?
Prime example!
