The Auditor shall examine every bill and demand rendered against the City of Boston or the County of Suffolk and shall ascertain whether the following facts exist:
a. That such bill or demand has been incurred by some person duly authorized;
b. That funds appropriated for the purpose are on hand in sufficient amount for the payment of such bill or demand;
c. That the clerical computations involved in such bill or demand are correct;
d. That the certificate prescribed by subsection 5-5.27 has been furnished.
If the Auditor finds that all of said facts exist, he shall make an appropriate notation on the bill or demand and forthwith forward the same to the Collector-Treasurer for payment, and, as soon thereafter as conveniently may be, shall draw a draft upon the Collector-Treasurer for the payment of such bill or demand. If the Auditor finds that any of such facts does not exist, he shall return the bill or demand with his objections to the person submitting the same.
