    The verb "has" is incorrect because it should agree with the plural subject "they" which refers to "the experts and their assistants." The correct form is "have" to match "they." Corrected Sentence: "The committee of experts, along with their assistants, were reviewing the final report and will submit it to the board next week after they have finished all necessary revisions."
