No. Its a job of higher management  to design companies policies and procedures.

However, auditors can take it as an special assignment to develop standard policies and procedures and authority matrix.

Auditor can do that but it depends on the rules and regulations. Regulations in certain countries do not allow such services to be extended to client. For example, in US, the consultation services by the auditor to clients are banned according to SOX  after Enron and Arthur Anderson.
