The governing board of any occupational or professional board shall provide for an audit
once every two years by a certified public accountant or licensed public accountant. The
accountant conducting the audit shall submit the audit report to the state auditor's office. If the
report is in the form and style prescribed by the state auditor, the state auditor may not audit that
board. An occupational or professional board may request the state auditor to conduct its audit,
and if the state auditor agrees to conduct the audit, the state auditor shall deposit the fees
charged to the occupational or professional board into the state auditor operating account.
Instead of providing for an audit every two years, an occupational or professional board that has
less than two million dollars of annual receipts may submit an annual report to the state auditor.
The report must contain the information required by the state auditor. The state auditor also may
make any additional examination or audit determined necessary in addition to the annual report.
When a report is not filed, the state auditor may charge the occupational or professional board
an amount equal to the fair value of the additional examination or audit and any other services
rendered. The state auditor may charge an occupational or professional board a fee not to
exceed ninety dollars an hour for the costs of reviewing the annual report.
