For the performance of an independent audit a board shall employ auditors who have no financial interest in the activities of its university system and who are under no contract of employment or retainer with the university system or any department or division of the state government for purposes other than independent audit. At least one responsible member of the auditing firm or group selected shall be qualified to practice as a certified public accountant.
