Mr. Pat Houlihan:
That has not happened. I have met representatives of the second tier firms also and asked is this a way forward. I have not been met with rapturous applause for making the suggestion. There is a different league involved. Perhaps they are happy in their niche. I am told that often when audits are offered, second tier firms do not bid for them.
