(a) General rule.--The department may from time to time audit the sinking funds and all records pertaining thereto of local government units which have any outstanding debt, except those annually submitting to the department reports of their sinking funds audited by an independent public accountant and except for school districts of the first class or cities of the second class and second class A.
(b) Order to comply.--If such audit or reports disclose that any local government unit has refused or neglected to establish sinking funds as required by this subpart or has failed to provide sufficient moneys for any sinking fund to meet the payments of assumed taxes, principal and interest to be made therefrom, is not investing a sufficient amount of the sinking fund moneys or is otherwise in violation of this subchapter, the department shall make an order requiring the local government unit or any officer thereof or the governing body to take any steps as, in the opinion of the department, will cause the sinking funds to comply with this subchapter or to be sufficient.
(c) Mandamus to compel compliance with order.--In addition to the criminal prosecutions provided for in Subchapter E (relating to penalties) or in lieu thereof, the department may apply to the court for an order in mandamus to issue to the officer or governing body of the local government unit to compel compliance with the order of the department or with the order with any modifications thereof as to the court may seem just and proper.
