Auditing is not something official.
Depends on the compliance. There are many of them that I've had to follow that audit. If you don't comply your systems have to be taken offline til fixed.
Yes, but "auditing" is just a random term. Like saying that "no admin will do X". But there is generally not just an admin who will, but many that will swear by it.
Official audits, often, are very insecure. You do them to pass a cert, not to be secure. So while yes, there are "official" audits for things like PCI compliance, you don't use them when you want to just be audited for security. If you are doing a security audit, Chrome might easily pass and IE not. Windows itself might not even pass, but normally would. If you have audit backed by a vendor trying to make a buck or an auditor that is just using checkboxes, any random thing might or might not be allowed.
But it is very important to not connect the actions of one audit with another. Many audits are at odds with each other. I've certainly been through audits that require things that would fail a more common audit process.
This +10000!

We had to replace power strips a few years ago because the auditors as of that year only accepted strips with some new code stamped on them, but where otherwise identical to the ones we already had.

The crazy thing auditors want just to keep somebody employed... don't get me wrong.. we need audits to keep people honest, but at the same time it should be OK to find nothing wrong with those you're auditing too.

It's the auditors that we have the hardest time keeping honest, though!

We have auditors. They aren't a scam. Sometimes a bit misguided as some of the auditors have very little tech experience but not a scam.
However, I will make a point of saying that it's a government requirement and we all work for the same clowns. -

CJIS? What is that?
I'll go ahead and make up some silly alternatives because that's the way my head works.
