CRB Checks for Accountants/Financial Services/FSA
Most professions within the financial services and accountancy industry complete CRB Checks and staff as part of their recruitment process.
The most common request for CRB Checks within this industry is for all positions within the ‘Financial Services Authority’ or the ‘competent authority for listings’.
Other popular requests are for:
- CRB Checks for Chartered Accountants
- CRB Checks for Certified Accountants
CRB Checks for the FSA (Financial Services Authority)
Personnel Checks receive numerous requests for CRB Checks from FSA Registered companies and individuals. We recommend the Standard CRB Check for this request.
Call Personnel Checks to organise CRB checks for the FSA on 01254 355688 or apply online for Standard CRB Checks.
There are 3 different levels of CRB Checks available for accountants – Basic Disclosure, Standard CRB Check or an Enhanced CRB Check.
Standard and Enhanced CRB Checks
Standard CRB Checks are recommended for the financial industry and for accountants. Usually, there is no need to apply for Enhanced CRB Checks, as the Enhanced checks are aimed for professions who provide a specific service to either children or vulnerable adults. The Enhanced CRB Checks would only be available if the work involves direct contact with either children or vulnerable adults. Eligibility also depends on the frequency of which the work is carried out, the nature of the work and the location where the work is done.
Standard and Enhanced CRB Checks show all Cautions, Warnings, Reprimands and Convictions from the individual’s living time in the UK only. The Enhanced CRB Check also searches to check the individuals name on the ‘Barred Lists’ for working with both Children and Vulnerable Adults. The Enhanced CRB Check then gives the Police access to include any other relevant information they think is suitable to include on a CRB Check.

Working with Children or Vulnerable Adults? Apply for Enhanced CRB Checks
Basic Disclosure Scotland Criminal Record Check
Although we recommend the Standard CRB Check, if the profession does not fit the qualifying criteria for a Standard Check, we would then recommend organisations to carry out Basic Disclosure checks on their staff.
The Basic Disclosure (more commonly known as a Criminal Convictions Certificate) is a certificate which searches for all unspent Criminal Convictions that an individual may have from their whole living time in the UK.
