Access to the recording section of the machine shall be restricted to the clerk, who, not less than once each week, shall remove the recorded figures and compare them with the collector’s bank deposits during the same period. Whenever such comparison reveals any default, delinquency or official misconduct, the clerk shall immediately report the results thereof to the local governing body and to the collector’s surety.
