So!
At the halfway point now, all going smoothly and on the up! Just submitted my dissertation and life seems to be in a much better place than 2017. However, I have one little snag I need some reassurance on.
I'm looking into getting ACCA qualified to work in the financial sector using my degree, but I don't see anything anywhere that tells me if being in a trust deed in the past exempts you from this. I have been told by recruiters that this isn't a problem, but I'm a little worried because well...they're recruitment companies not finance experts.
I think I'm just worried that I'll put in another three years of study and on the job training to be told at the end of it that it was all for pot because I was silly when I was 18 and now I can't be trusted near financial products.
Anyone able to shed some light?

I’m not sure that there’s any issue for you here Terrestrial1.
Financial services employers (like some others) are likely to have risk control procedures in place that take into account the financial standing of their employees.
After completing your trust deed you’ll have no debt and an opportunity to build financial stability for yourself. Where’s the risk (perceived or real) to a future employer then?

Hi Terrestrial1,
Would it be an idea to put a call or email into ACCA for clarification at this point?
