Yes, thank you.

Like IMA-measurement and IMA-appraisal, IMA-audit is enabled based on
policy. The example IMA policy, below, includes IMA-audit messages for
files executed. 'cat' the policy to /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy.

/etc/ima/ima-policy:
audit func=BPRM_CHECK

There's a FireEye blog titled "Extending Linux Executable Logging With
The Integrity Measurement Architecture"* that explains how to augment
their existing system security analytics with file hashes.
