Answer:

It is up to each organization to establish the competency requirements that its internal auditors must meet. Your organization can have a job description for its internal auditors where it is stated in a clear way what are the requirements. For example, I see organizations stating that internal auditors must have a 20, or 30, or 40 hours training. It is your organization that sets the bar for its internal auditors.
