You don't have a false statement so much as a logical paradox: when a  
trader has no accountant, he is his own accountant -- structurally,  
it's similar to 'the village barber shaves only those men who do not  
shave themselves'; the statement nullifies its own truth.

Add the word 'external' before the first instance of 'accountant' and  
you'll have a true statement.

Arguably, sure.  I'm not sure I'd go for that, but it has the virtue  
of being a creative interpretation of commonly-accepted terms rather  
than something completely heterodox.
