Yes I concur.

Audits are simple things. You get a letter which sets out what years of accounts they wish to audit, then you are subjected to an interview where you are out numbered and then they do a reassesment which you pay. Mine was for seven years during which time I had suffered a fire so records were lost which complicated things. The whole thing took a year. The reassesment was aprox $1000 which I happily paid, now I use a tax accountant and keep my head down.
