Then you need to make your voice heard.  Tell the auditor "HQ won't let 
me - I've tried telling them and they don't listen to me - so talk to 
them" and then wait.

One of two possible outcomes:  The boss will start listening to you, or 
the boss will get pissed off and sack you (which means you don't have to 
do the 6 month notice thing or find your own replacement, right?) so 
you're free to find something else to do.
