if you have a bad credit rating can you be an accountant?
im just curious ive started an accounting course and have a bad credit history, im on a debt management plan but i haven't been to court and having been bankrupt so would that effect me being able to be an accountant in the future. i think i remember reading somewhere that there are certain jobs you cant do if you have a bad credit rating. thanks.

Stick to the plan and you'll be in the clear legally. If you want to be an accountant that badly, even with a bankruptcy, you can find ways around it... All accountants are thieves in any case!
Answer 2 :
Many employees look at an applicant's credit score, not just those of accountants. Do your best to rectify the situation and go for the career you want. If you are still concerned about it during an interview, bring it up and explain the steps you have taken to correct the problem.
Answer 3 :
Yes it will affect you. Can you imagine an Accountancy firm employing an Accountant who cannot manage their own affairs let alone their clients. You will be checked, so you need to get your financial situation in order before you qualify. UK
