Every guardian who shall receive on account of his ward any moneys from the bureau shall file with the court annually, in addition to such other accounts as may be required by the court, a full, true, and accurate account under oath of all moneys so received by him, of all disbursements thereof, and showing the balance thereon in his hands at the date of such account and how invested. All accounts and petitions shall be filed with the clerk in duplicate and a certified copy of each of such accounts or petitions filed with the court shall be immediately forwarded by the chancery clerk to the bureau having jurisdiction over the area in which such court is located. The clerk in the certificate shall certify that a copy of same is being mailed to the said bureau, and after same has been mailed, the clerk of the court shall enter upon the records where the case is pending a notation that a copy of said petition or account has been forwarded by mail to the said bureau. Said mailing and said certificate shall have been performed and notation made on the docket thirty days before said matter shall be taken up for hearing by the court unless said notice shall be waived by the bureau. 
 

After hearing on all accounts or other matters it shall be the duty of the guardian to furnish certified copies of all orders entered to the state office of the bureau.
