The auditing of the accounts of school districts, when required by law, shall be made only by a registered municipal accountant of New Jersey or a certified public accountant of New Jersey who shall hold an uncanceled registration license as a public school accountant for New Jersey. Such registration licenses shall be issued to qualified persons annually by the New Jersey state board of public accountants, who shall charge a fee of $5.00 for each license, and each such license shall state that the holder thereof has complied with the statutory requirements and is authorized to make audits of accounts of school districts of the state of New Jersey until January 1 following unless sooner canceled as herein provided. The New Jersey state board of public accountants may refuse to issue any such license for any cause authorizing a cancellation thereof as herein provided, or for any other stated cause which it may determine to be good and sufficient.
