A or B is enough to perform internal quality audits.

But a Lead Assessor certificate is more required and adapted for performing

external audits within tierce cabinet of quality certification.

Being a QMS internal auditor is enough, being a QMS lead assessor is a plus

Certified Quality Auditor from ASQ is the right certification for the question.

However an IRCA Certified Course, by bsi,  for QMS lead auditor/ QMS auditor  (called  BSI Certified Auditor) is also there.

QMS Internal Audit is more than enough to conduct and perform Quality Audits, being a Lead Assessor is an advantageous capability of an Auditor to identify and prepare the customer or supplier prior to conducting an AUDIT.
