What do background checks look at? Specific to public accounting firms? I am employed with the IRS and passed my security clearance, which was a feat. I just don’t want something from my past haunting me.

Financial standing, criminal past, fishbowl postings, political background, terrorist activity, they will check your investments too for independence + what EY1 said, ability to acknowledge sarcasm, etc.

If your past consisted of any financially related crimes, that is what would be most concerning. But generally speaking if you’ve made it this far without too much issue and have a security clearance, I wouldn’t be TOO concerned. But you never do know what they will uncover.

Yea sooo this isn’t a big deal it’s fine you’re fine
