At  the annual organization meeting of the board of fire commissioners

  statement shall be in detail and shall be entered in the minutes of  the
  meeting  by  the  fire district secretary, except that the fire district
  treasurer, if authorized by the board of fire commissioners at a meeting
  held prior to the annual organization meeting,  may  within  sixty  days
  after the end of the fiscal year, submit to the said board a copy of the
  annual  report  required by section thirty of the general municipal law,
  in lieu of such statement, in which case  the  fire  district  treasurer
  shall  account  for  all moneys received and disbursed by him during the
  preceding fiscal year, and shall produce all books,  records,  receipts,
  orders,  vouchers  and cancelled checks or check images as authorized by
  section ninety-nine-b of the general municipal law respecting the  same,
  at  the  meeting  of  the  board of fire commissioners at which the said
  annual report is submitted or at the next meeting held subsequent to the
  submission of the report if not submitted at a meeting of the board,  in
  lieu  of producing such records at the annual organization meeting. Such
  authorization shall remain in effect from year to year  until  rescinded
  by  the  board of fire commissioners. The annual report shall be entered
  in the minutes of the meeting by the fire district secretary. The  board
  of  fire commissioners may require the fire district treasurer to submit
  to the board of fire commissioners  at  any  time  for  examination  his
  books, records, receipts, orders, vouchers and cancelled checks or check
  images  as  authorized by section ninety-nine-b of the general municipal
