authorised audit expert
Or 'licensed', I supposed.
'Licensed auditor' might be fine, but as kashew's reference makes clear, expert-réviseur agréé is a *higher* level of qualification that mere réviseur agréé, who would also be a licensed auditor (for some purposes).
The qualifications are described in Swiss federal law here:
http://www.admin.ch/ch/f/rs/221_302/a4.html
There will be official equivalents of the term in the other official languages of Switzerland, but English isn't one of them.
Here is how one holder of the qualification describes himself in English (scroll to the bottom under 'Honors'):
http://www.linkedin.com/in/fritzamport
réviseur is simply 'auditor' (in BE, LU, CH French)
I'd leave the 'arbitre' part out of the title and find another way to indicate his role as referee in the event of disagreement.

certified (chartered) accountant arbitrator
I think this a Swiss thing - a neutral arbitrator, like an administrative judge.

: Doesn't distinguish between expert-réviseur agréé and (the more lowly) réviseur agréé.

New Japanese Corp Law:
Def: AUDIT REFEREE
The corporate statutory auditor may be replaced by an audit referee who must be a certified public accountant or a tax accountant (zeirishi) or tax accounting firm.
The audit referee is to prepare the accounting documents and financial statements together with the directors and must explain them to the shareholders meeting. They are also required to maintain such records for five years on their own, separately from the corporation. Such disclosure is to be made to both shareholders and creditors. Since the audit counselor is classified as a corporate officer, just like a director or corporate statutory auditor, and it can thus also be sued in corporate litigation, just like them.
During his term as audit counselor he may not simultaneously serve as director, corporate statutory auditor, accounting auditor, executive or otherwise be employed by the corporation or its subsidiaries.
The audit counselor is appointed at the shareholders meeting. usually for a period of 2 years but may be appointed for up to 10 years. If during the joint preparation of the accounting documents the audit referee and the director can not agree, then the documents can not be prepared. The audit counselor can either resign or report his opinion to the shareholders meeting. He can also file a court suit on behalf of the corporation.
Maybe that fits?
