The requirements of the standard (not specific reference to it) should be built in to the documentation (and operation) of processes. If you design a process such that successful operation and documentation of it meets the requirements of the standard, you can audit to your own process requirements and be satisfied that the requirements of the standard have been met.
If you're presently satisfied with the efficacy of your system, that's fine. All I'm saying is that your perceived need for each auditor to have a copy of the standard is a "feature" of your system, and has nothing to do with how much copies of the standard cost.
