Answer

The nature of the audit on a file being moved depends on where it is moved to. If it is in the same folder or a different volume, the file operation could change from a rename to a write and a create based on the protocol being used
 
Example CIFS/SMB - file_test2 being moved from folder2 to folder1 - The file operation is seen as a CREATE:
 
 
Example in NFS - file_test1 being moved from folder2 to folder1 - The file operation is seen as a RENAME:
