Auditing single departments

I have 1 questions about the Scope of the ISMS: If I have a large enterprise, with 5000 employees, various systems, software and departments. Would I be able to audit just one department even if we are using the same network, servers and physical location?

Answer: Yes, you can limit your audit just to one department. Regarding the fact that this department uses the same network, servers and physical location, you should look for if these elements comply with the requirements defined for the department you are auditing (if different departments have different levels of security requirements, the organization should consider segregate them in groups with similar requirements).
