2. Ability to link business objectives to the technology and to define proper scope.

3. Access Provisioning and Deprovisioning

As an internal auditor , its important to look at the larger picture ie.
risks and controls which is what a major portion of what an IT Audit is about.
Some may argue that Compliance to standards should also be an integral part of an audit and understandbly so as standards define methodolgies and procedures involved in system deployment which can thereby reduce risks.
