"Why don't you see those issues as problems?"
Then point-by-point, explain why A is a problem, B is a problem, and so
on. Discuss these points with them, don't just give up because they said
"I don't think that's a problem".
For example, if you point out A is a regulatory problem and they say it's
not, ask them how they would explain that to a government auditor,
because that's part of your job, so you need to be able to explain it -
and if you can't, you'll send the auditor to him instead. Not as a
threat, but because management identified it as a non-issue and you don't
understand why, so you'll have to refer the auditor to someone who *does*
understand why.
