a. Wages and salaries may be paid upon payrolls, upon which each person named thereon shall separately receipt for the amount paid to such person, and the comptroller is hereby authorized and empowered, in his or her discretion, to direct and require that wages and salaries shall not be paid except upon such receipt being individually signed by such person.
b. The comptroller is hereby authorized in his or her discretion, to direct and require, as an alternative to the procedure provided in subdivision a hereof, that wages and salaries within any department or agency of the city or any part or unit thereof may be paid upon payrolls by checks corresponding to such payrolls without any receipt upon such payroll by the person receiving such check.
All county charges and expenses and salaries of county officers in the counties of the city and each of them shall be audited by the comptroller and paid out of the fund or appropriation applicable thereto, and the audit of the comptroller in respect to such charges and expenses shall extend to the reasonableness thereof and shall, in all respects, be as full and complete as the audit of city charges and expenses.
The head of each agency shall furnish monthly to the comptroller a statement of the unencumbered and unexpended balances, contract or other liabilities, of appropriations and other authorizations for his or her agency, in such form as prescribed by the comptroller.
Whenever the city collector or any deputy collector shall cease to hold office, and within one year thereafter, it shall be the duty of the comptroller to examine the accounts of such city collector or deputy, and if found correct, to cause a certificate to that effect to be filed with the bond of such officer. Such certificate so filed shall be a full discharge and satisfaction of the conditions of such bond and the lien or liens thereby created. If at any time during the city collector's continuance in office the city collector or a deputy collector shall execute and file with the comptroller a new bond in the same form and penalty, and for the same period, and approved as provided in section 11-115 of the code, it shall be the duty of the comptroller forthwith to cause a certificate to that effect to be filed with the bond or bonds previously filed by such officer. Such certificate so filed shall be the full discharge and satisfaction of the condition of such prior bond or bonds and of the lien or liens thereby created. The comptroller may settle and adjust all claims in favor of or against the city, the surety or the principal in such bond, arising out of the execution of such bonds and in his or her discretion may release from the lien created by such bonds any piece or parcel of land affected thereby.
Every official or employee of the city, or of the counties included within the city, and every board or commission charged by law or by due authority with the custody of property of the city or the counties thereof, or with the direction of work done, or services performed, by or on behalf of the city or the counties therein, or the disbursement or receipt of moneys from the city or counties therein, and every person, official, board, commission or corporation receiving or disbursing moneys from the city or counties therein for public purposes, at such times, under such conditions, and in the manner directed to do so by the comptroller, shall furnish reports of facts relating to any or all of the property of the city, or the counties therein, or of such work or such services, or of the receipt or disbursement of moneys from the city or counties therein. Such officials and employees shall compile and maintain in their respective offices such system of statistical record as the comptroller may require appertaining to all matters referred to in this section.
