I'm just curious how people handle auditors who cross the line from auditing to "consulting" (which they are not supposed to do).
Do you bring it to their attention during the audit? I think that would be like going out in the woods and slapping a bear on the a$$. In either case the end results probably wouldn't be in your favor.
Complaining to your Registrar probably wouldn't do much good either. If they get reprimanded by their boss, then the next time they come in, it will be on a sour note. I realize you can request a new auditor if its early on in your audit cycle, but sometimes this problem doesn't arise in the first or second audit or you hope it was just an incidental thing and might not happen again.
