Data discrepancies

[BTS0301]

Hi everyone.
I noticed while doing some backtesting on KZL (which I bought into at $1.35 on 14/5) that my ASX data from Paritech is showing a high of $1.19 for that day. Prices before this date are also out of whack.
Why can this happen? How can my broker (live feed from Westpac) show 1 price yet ASX EOD show totally different prices? Does anyone here have data to the contrary or am I to believe the ASX data?
Thanks for any help.

KZL did a rights issue, the old data is adjusted for the rights. (Some providers will give you the option of unadjusted data)

So the data was all changed AFTER the fact.....?

Yup, after the ex-date. Otherwise there would be a false gap
