Answer 1 :
i would say it depends on the company and if they run credit reports and such. Also, I'd say company director would probably be company policy too. I dont know of any laws that say you've been bankrupt so you can hold a position in a non government entity, especially if you started the business.
Answer 2 :
It depends on what kind of backfground checking they will do; normally for bank/or financial service companies will check the emploryees' credit histroy. Try other type firms, good luck.
Answer 3 :
I doubt very much if you can be an accountant within a firm of Chartered Accountants, or have your own practice. As to whether you could be an accountant in a company I do not know. If you have been made bankrupt, the Insolvency Service can answer any questions like that, you should have been given an interview when your bankruptcy started and have an information pack, if that doesn't tell you, call them or check their website out. I know they are based in London W1, don't know their details though. Best of luck.
Answer 4 :
Unfortunately no. I know that most accountants are used to being dishonest, and robbing people blind. But once you are declared bankrupt you fall back down to mortal citizen status.
Answer 5 :
A former bankrupt as an Accountant! sorry, that does not sound too good to me, would not give me confidence in you
