Not always. I think that you'll find that it is standard procedure  
under the Corporations Act (assuming that HitWise is a limited  
company) to have an independent audit each year: paid for by the  
company, but if standard audit procedures are followed, this should  
not make any difference - and won't be worth the trouble for  
PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
