I'm saying there is a difference. OP went to financial control who rendered advice that what [senior] management proposed is not in compliance with CX's productivity measurement procedures.
OP may or may not have mentioned this is on the suggestion of the [senior] management.
OP can go to internal audit too and probably get the same result. But going to IA can be a lot more serious and may trigger disciplinary consequences for either the [senior] management or OP, depending whether IA found culpable behaviour on the [senior] management's part.
