a. The following arguments might be advanced in favor of advising SuperFund as to our opi
nion of the value of the properties:
c. Our opinion:
We consider it to be totally inconsistent with the role of an independent auditor to
intervene in a transaction between a company and its customers on the premise that the
auditors have a "greater wisdom" than the transacting parties. Mountain Resources is
not, to the auditors' knowledge, doing anything illegal. Furthermore, all of the
information at the auditors' disposal is confidential. Barring a flagrant violation of the
law by one of the transacting parties, we do not believe that auditors have either the legal
responsibility or the right to interject their unsolicited opinion into the business
transaction of audit clients. If the auditors had become aware that the client was
fraudulently overcharging for the property (as was the case in Funds of Funds) our
solution would of course, be different.
