The county auditor shall examine, audit and settle the accounts of the collector of taxes payable into the county treasury, and of all officers receiving funds payable into such treasury, and shall require all sums due from any officer to be paid into the county depository on the day such funds are collected or on the next business day thereafter. In all cases, on issuing his receipt warrant for the payment of any money into the county treasury, he shall charge the person to whom the warrant is issued with its amount, if not before charged to such person; and on presentation to him of the duplicate receipt of the county depository, he shall charge it with such sum, and credit the person to whom the receipt warrant was issued with the sum. If any officer whose duty it is to make any payment into the county treasury shall fail to do so as prescribed by law, the county auditor or the board of supervisors shall forthwith institute suit against the officer on his official bond for such default.
