Legally speaking, This clause doesn't applies to the Internal Auditors.
The main job of an internal auditor is to assure the management about the accuracy of the books of the company and assessing the internal control procedures.
So, Having shares in the company doesn't affect the independence of the Auditor. Moreover it makes internal auditor more dedicated to the management.
