Three options:
- Say, "I see you are too busy for me" and obtain the evidence you seek from another person;
- Audit document control as an integrated part of auditing all of the other processes until you reach a conclusion; or
- If true, say "you providing me with evidence of control is essential to fulfill the audit objective and your not providing me with this evidence will require me to stop the audit and report the reasons to the audit client";

This situation has passed. I believe in the issue being process related, not people. Our considerations should take a look at the process, as practiced, and ask 'what could be done to prevent this'?
