Internal auditor requirements

Answer:
Each organization has the authority to set the requirements for their internal auditors. Only your organization has the legitimacy to set the requirements applicable to your internal auditors. Even ISO 19011 removed the word competence from the definition of auditor. That said, it is wise to set as minimum requirements for internal auditors that they should know the standard (ISO 9001:2015) and they should know auditing practices. Your organization can ask for any evidence that they know, or studied ISO 9001:2015.
