Eliminate consulting engagements from the audit plan  -  is the answer

because .

The audit schedule should only be reduced as a last resort once all other viable alternatives have been explored, including the request for additional resources

I agree with Professor Mr. Georgei

I partially agree with georgei assi but even the operating departments that are not being audited might have built informal relationship with departments being audited and this action might impair the independence and objectivity of the auditor.

However the option of employing IT solution to automate the audit activities might a play a trick here but again this might not be possible because of financial constraints of the entity. However the both options are not suitable more than the georgei assi suggested.
