The regional board of education and appointing authority of any municipality or audited agency shall file with the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management the name of the independent auditor, designated to audit the financial statements of the regional school district, municipality, or audited agency, at least thirty days before the end of the fiscal period of such regional school district, municipality, or audited agency for which such audit is required. If any such appointing authority fails to notify the secretary of such designation before such thirty-day period, said secretary may appoint any independent auditor to audit the accounts of such regional school district, municipality or audited agency, and the cost and expense of such audit shall be borne by such regional school district, municipality or audited agency.
