Agree You'd think that context would be one of the first things they teach on translation courses.

convenience of the audit procedures

Would need more CONTEXT to be able tweak the answer properly. However, Google translate says "opportunity of the audit procedures" (i.e. whether it is opportune or convenient to carry out the audit at a given time). Other options could be "timeliness/suitability of the audit procedure"... etc.
Example sentence:

174 completed questionnaires addressing the suitability of the audit procedure were collected.

Timeliness of corporate annual financial reports is considered to be a critical and important factor...

Peer comment(s):

The visitor has left the room, but "timing" is commonly used in relation to audit procedures.
neutral AllegroTrans : maybe, maybe not but asker isn't providing context

My many years of Big 4 experience tell me it is timing, but as asker seems to have left, we may never really know.
