Hmmm - before we all run off with the idea that the "easy thing" to do is change the procedure, I'm going to ask why this requirement is in there in the first place?
Did the particular director approve this document? It sounds like they could be a process owner. Is there some level of approval for a particular $$ value on which they wish to sign off? Someone wrote this requirement into the procedure and it was approved like that, so what (apparently) went wrong? If it's now not required, who approved that change to the process without initiating a change to the document?
Before anyone simply fixes the document, you might just wish to put it in front of the relevant management and ask them! It is, after all, a MANAGEMENT system....
