No statement filed pursuant to this Chapter shall be conclusive as to the matters set forth therein, nor shall the filing of the same preclude the City from collecting by appropriate action such sum as is actually due and payable under this Chapter. Such statement and each of the several items therein contained shall be subject to audit and verification by the Finance Director, his or her deputies or authorized employees of the City, who are hereby authorized to examine, audit and inspect such books and records of any licensee or applicant for license as may be necessary, in his, her or their judgment, to verify or ascertain the license tax due.

All licensees, applicants for licenses, and persons engaged in business in the City are required to permit an examination of such books and records for the purposes of this Chapter.
