Life after discharge

Hi, everything has been going well since i was discharged last Nov 08.

Nothing much to report about enjoying living debt free :D

Only thing is i have a few questions.

I want to train as a book keeper, can i do this now i am discharged?

Is it correct you can not become a accountant now im discharged?

Also i will eventually want to become self employed, will i be able to be a director of a limited company?

thanks
Is a Bipolar bear :p

    You can become a director now that you are dicharged, im not sure what the policies of the accountants re previously bankrupt persons
    Hi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.
    Please note that any views i put forth are not those of my former employer The Insolvency Service and do not constitute professional advice, you should always seek professional advice before entering insolvency proceedings.

    you can become an accountant or bookeeper as long there is no blame attached to your BR ( aka BRO/BRU etc...) . ACA, CIMA even accept undischarged BR to pass their exam. you will have to declare your BR at registration ... but I hav eseen soemone on this board applying or doing an AAT .

    however i do not know how a future employer will see this ....
