Is there a benefit to issue ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH BUFFER CACHE before a SHUTDOWN of the database?

Our security team has asked us to change the database shutdown scripts to include an "ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH BUFFER_CACHE" before the actual database shutdown.  Is there a real benefit in issuing this command before a database shutdown or is the flush buffer_cache already included in the database shutdown procedure?

Howdy, Stranger!
