Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Disagrees, citing custody policy 535 and operations policy 904.

Audit analysis

The response identifies checkable transport policies and disputes the narrative’s claim that no policy exists. It does not directly quantify whether present staffing is sufficient for the finding’s transfer needs. Clear disagreement and a reasoned explanation satisfy the position test, while substantive coverage remains incomplete.
