Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner topic 11 question 6 discussion

All the products that are due in stage 3 have been completed, apart from the 'updated corporate quality procedures'. The work has been completed but the product has not yet been approved. The executive has been told that it will be signed off before the end of the project. In response to an exception report, the executive has instructed the project manager to plan to obtain approval of the product in stage 4.
Is this appropriate application of the report management stage end' activity, and why?
