1. A. The board of education of each school district in this state shall provide for and cause to be made an annual audit of such school district for each fiscal year. Said audit shall be a financial audit and a compliance audit of all funds of the school district, including the records of all student activity funds designated in Section 5-129 of this title. Such audit or audits shall be made at the end of the fiscal year; provided, however, the local board of education may require that audits be made at more frequent intervals.
2. B. Findings of material weaknesses, qualifications of the auditor's report and of defalcations, or a report of lack of such findings, shall be communicated in writing to the board. Upon completion of an audit, the auditor shall conduct the final exit interview at a meeting of the board. No part of the final exit interview shall be conducted with any employee of the board except in open meeting of the board; provided, portions of the final exit interview related to matters which the board is authorized by law to consider in executive session may be so considered.
3. C. All public accountants and certified public accountants, as a condition of being approved by the State Board of Education to perform the annual audits of school districts pursuant to this section, shall comply with the most recent "Governmental Auditing Standards" of the Standards for Audit of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions, issued by the United States General Accounting Office. A copy of the peer review performed in accordance with the above standards shall be filed with the State Board of Education. Should the results of said peer review indicate that material deficiencies exist in the audit work performed by the reviewed auditing firm, the State Board of Education shall so notify the Oklahoma Accountancy Board. The State Board of Education shall immediately remove the reviewed firm from the approved list of school auditors for a period of at least two (2) years or until such time as the firm has demonstrated satisfactory correction of the deficiencies reported in the peer review.
