This question is a good opportunity to show you have an understanding of what qualities make a good auditor generally, and a good internal auditor specifically. Some key areas to hit are ethics (honesty/integrity), ability to interact with others in the organization (communication skills, people person), ability to limit mistakes (focused/attention to detail) and ability to get to the correct answer (skeptical/inquisitive/problem solver).

"First and foremost, I believe an internal auditor should be honest and have great integrity. Without this, it will be impossible for the person to perform the role effectively. Next, the auditor should have the education and technical skills to perform the job. They should have exceptional people skills as they will be required to communicate effectively with colleagues, external auditors and other parties. Finally, they should have an inquisitive mind and a keen attention to detail."
