Steffen is right! Just retracting the anser "business trustee's fee" for housekeeping purposes :-)

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Adrian MM. (X) Nov 11, 2014:
Not an auditor - an accountant The training in Austria is very rigorous and the qualification carries a prestigious cachet. It is an (AmE) certified or public = (BrE) chartered accountant. An auditor may be an unqualified number-cruncher, esp. back in the UK. Surely you, Phil, know this?
philgoddard Nov 11, 2014:
Steffen You should put "auditor" as an answer.
Brennan Holt (asker) Nov 11, 2014:
Yes, it is Austrian. Thanks!!!
dkfmmuc Nov 11, 2014:
An agree, Steffen! -> Please have a look on the answer provided
Steffen Walter Nov 11, 2014:
Is your text Austrian? In that case, 'WT' might stand for 'Wirtschaftstreuhänder' (i.e. 'Wirtschaftsprüfer' in 'German' German). See, for example, http://www.wt-kanzlei.at/honorargrundsatz.html and http://www.kwt.or.at/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-21/

auditor's fee(s)

'Wirtschaftstreuhänder' appears to be the Austrian equivalent of 'Wirtschaftsprüfer' (see discussion).

agree Adrian MM. (X) : it's really an accountant. I've known auditors back in the UK with no quals. at all, not even maths O-levels/mittlere Reife.

Yes, it is an accountant. Note, though, that I had the 'quasi-official' IDW translation of German Wirtschaftsprüfer in mind - see http://www.idw.de/idw/portal/n589244/index.jsp
agree dkfmmuc : 100 % agree.
