The guide is often helpful in answering questions that auditees can't answer (and shouldn't necessarily be expected to be able to answer) or in know where to get the answers.
Aside from that, the audit generally can't proceed if the guide (or an acceptable substitute) isn't present.

- One is to escort the auditor to the auditee & introduce him. If the guide doesn't want to stay for any reason, he's free to take leave of the auditor and we never had any issue from the CB in this regard.
- secondly, we depute an internal auditor just for the sake of learning and knowledge enhancement as the CB auditors are quite experienced and have in-depth knowledge of auditing yet the guide is (normally) not expected to answer the questions on auditee's behalf).
