Should I have done?
I'm positive the addition of the word "independent" - in an audit sense - was, is and would've been superfluous.
No meaningfully constituted company is allowed, by law, to audit itself. Imagine Bank of America, McDonald's, GMC or Starbucks relying on internal audits? It would become a farce quicker than you can say "independent".
Stock markets would crash and burn and cease to exist altogether because no one would have any confidence in annual balance sheets. Companies would be unable to sell themselves to other owners or attract investment for the same reason.
But the Pentagon CAN audit itself, because... it's the Pentagon. And loose $6.5 trillion in the process.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
