Certainly, a criminal action lies.
However, there would be an authority or a person who checks and authenticates the entries in the cashbook. That person is equally liable, either for gross negligence or for collusion or for both.

You have used the term members.

In any case if the person has collected the funds and issued prescribed receipts and has not deposited the amounts .................then he/she has committed misconduct/transgression and establishment can proceed by civil/criminal action...
Handover the matter to legal cell of establishment or counsel engaged by establishment..
