I know nothing about company accounts and the law (from the basis of how complex legal arguments work), but surely it would be possible to have a register of retired experts in a given field available for this kind of trial. In the interests of justice/fairness, such people who make populate the list would be subject to a background check to ensure against possible abuse of position?
Just a thought.
