(3) Any employer who willfully misrepresents to the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation the amount of the payroll upon which the amount of premium is based shall be liable to the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation in a sum equal to 10 times the amount of the difference between the amount of such premium computed according to the representation thereof by such employer and the amount for which the employer is liable under this chapter according to a correct computation of the payroll. Such liability shall be enforced in a civil action in the name of the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation and any amount so collected shall become a part of the Industrial Accident Fund.

(4) Failure on the part of the employer to submit such books, records and payrolls for inspection to any member of the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation or any of its representatives presenting written authority from the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation, or a refusal on the part of an employer to keep a payroll in accordance with this section, when demanded by the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation, subjects the offending employer to a penalty of $100 for each offense, to be collected by a civil action in the name of the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation and paid into the Industrial Accident Fund.
