(b) When warrants presented to the Treasurer have all the signatures required by law, and are countersigned by the Controller, those signatures shall be prima facie evidence of the legality of the warrants. The Treasurer may, in the event of the authenticity of any warrant being questioned, fully investigate and satisfy himself or herself regarding the authenticity before paying.
(c) The Treasurer shall transmit to the Controller, at the end of each business day, a detailed statement showing the receipts and disbursements credited or debited to each fund or account.
