If any local unit does not carry out the provisions of this chapter by reason of the failure of the governing body thereof to institute and complete such audit within the time provided herein, the director may, by his employees and agents or by auditors employed for that purpose, conduct an audit of the books of such local unit and such audit shall be taken to be the statutory audit of the local unit and shall be paid for by the local unit on bill rendered therefor.
For the services of the said director, or his employees or agents, or the pay of the auditors employed by him, whether permanent employees of the division or not, there shall be paid to him by the local unit for deposit in the State treasury, a per diem allowance not to exceed $75.00 for each person for work done in connection with the audit or examination of the accounts. Said amount, if not paid when billed, shall be recoverable in an action at law.
