Does an expert have to be found to determine whether an application has done its accounting properly?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Time Is Money Bookkeeping & Accounting Services Ltd. v. 1159033 B.C. Ltd., 2020 BCCRT 392 (CanLII):

15. Also, I find whether the accounting work was done properly is a subject outside ordinary knowledge that requires expert opinion (see Burbank v. R.T.B., 2007 BCCA 215). I find expert evidence is needed in this dispute as it is not readily apparent if the applicant’s work contained the alleged errors.
