Found an underbilling — what's your disclosure practice?

EL2 customer who should have been moved to EL9 12 months ago. They've been UNDER-billed by ~$8K/yr because EL2 customer charge is lower. AAUBA Code says we tell the client. Client's response was predictable: 'why would I tell them?' How do you manage that conversation when the client's instinct is to stay quiet and the right answer is to disclose?
Ethics question that comes up more than people admit: client asks you to backdate an engagement letter. The answer is always no, regardless of the reason.
