Job As An Accountant With An Abh Conviction
5 Answers
hello i was wondering does anyone know if it is possible for me to get a job or to even start the study program to become an accountant with a criminal record for abh. I was convicted in April 2010 for which i received 5 months suspended for 2 years and a fine ( cant remember how much exactly) Prior to this I had completed a course which would give me favourable exemptions if i were to complete my studies and become a fully fledged accountant however if I cannot do so i feel it is a waste of time. before the knockers start me please see my earlier posts it was a one off incident I had never been in trouble before nor have I since, I admitted my guilt straight away it was one blow but the innocent party got a broken nose I have paid my dues as such and tried my best to move on from it as best i can.

Certainly my own opinion is that someone such as yourself who has shown insight remorse and an intention to change
should be allowed to do professional exams and be a wonderful member of the soc of accountants.
(not even .... but) a few years ago professional bodies such as the GMC were intent on pro-crime and striking off medical students and saying that they cd never become doctors.... ( wh is a direct parallel to your position) and I think altho I cant put my finger on chapter and verse on that, that they have fallen foul of the Law on that one. They have to decide on the day whether you are fit to practise and not pre-judge permanently.
There will be a professional body overseeing exams - ring and ask
and there will a professional registration body - ring and ask
actually I would have thought you could - and good luck.

The GMC has been forced back from the idea that everyone with a criminal record cant practice.
Recent case of a doctor-school governor who was accused to school financial naughtiness, and the GMC were told on appeal that they could not suspend him on that basis from medical practice - the case is here:
he Fitness to Practise Allegation
The fitness to practise allegations did not relate to the doctor’s professional conduct, as he faced a criminal investigation relating to his duties as a school governor, regarding the authorisation of payments. He faced criminal charges of conspiracy to defraud and fraud by abuse of his position. The conduct was said to have occurred over a substantial period of time and involved over £1 million, although no personal gain to the doctor was alleged.
The Interim Orders Panel decision
The IOP suspended the doctor’s registration for 18 months to protect the public interest.
The Appeal
The High Court in overturning the suspension order stated that the nature of the wrongdoing did not relate to the doctor’s clinical competency. The doctor denied the allegations which remained pending before the criminal courts. There was no evidence of a threat to the public’s welfare and so allowing the doctor to continue to practice medicine in the meantime would not undermine the public’s confidence in the profession.

Thanks Peter I made one stupid mistake and i should hope it will not hinder me in any future endeavours i should plan I am happily married and my wife knows all about this I will never do anything like this in the rest of my life, it has made me a stronger person and i hope within a few years I will be fully qualified.
