Answer: The internal audit checklist is based on the clauses of the standard, but you are free to include additional questions (e.g., questions that would cover controls not listed on ISO 27001 Annex A), or change the existing ones if you understand another text will make the checklist cover the requirements of the company own documentation.
This article will provide you further explanation about elaborating checklists:

Certification scope
Answer:
I understand that you are asking if your organization should certify the remaining 8 branches that are not yet certified. The scope of implementation it is not a technical decision, it is a business decision based on your business objectives:
- If the certificate is required by some of your customers, then those customer probably defined what should be the scope
- Sometimes it is not possible to exclude some of the departments/locations/organizational units outside of the scope because they are too crucial part of the process
- Sometimes it is desirable to exclude some of the departments/locations/organizational units because they are not important for e.g. QMS.
Once your organization decide this, then you can go and make an arrangement with the certification body about the scope of certification. The main concern of the certification body is t he avoidance of misleading information.

Continuous Improvement is an evolutionary process. But extraordinary threats and opportunities require a revolutionary, targeted response. When an organization needs to act quickly to ramp up production, reduce costs, or meet other extraordinary changes or goals is where the step change improvement comes to action.Step change improvement is a significant change in policy or attitude, especially one that results in an improvement or increase. -
