FOM: (immediately after the list of stable approach parameters)
If at any time any of these parameters are exceeded and timely corrections are not made, the PM or S/O shall state that the aircraft is not stable and identify the condition. A go-around shall be initiated.
If something
shall be done, it isn't optional. So, therefore, if a go-around is supposed to be happening and it isn't, then the next step is to direct it.
