Hi All, I am getting very worried about this and wanted to know if any one can help. Last year, I stupidly accepted a two police cautions for a minor incident on the train. In retrospect, I should have argued it and gone to court. Anyways, I am applying to the Big 4 and ACN (etc) as a technology consultant and I am increasingly concerned because these companies utilise CRB checks as part of their background check requirements. I know that a Standard and Enhanced CRB checks will highlight this miscreants but Basic CRB checks will not. My questions is :1 - Does anybody know the CRB scheme undertaken by these firms.2 - I accept that this will have an impact on my career but has anybody had any experience of applying to firms with a caution, and if so, how did they manage the "disclosure".Thanks all - I appreciate your time and support.

There is an extensive thread which covers all your points and more in the forum. You have probably found it by now.In a previous life I was awarded a late filing penalty which does show on a check. If I was asked to disclose information on any application form, I did. If I was not asked at the application stage I always provided full written disclosure prior to any offer being made which was usually during my first face to face interview or assessment day.I received 3 offers after disclosure from top tier MC firms.Hope this helps a little.

Based on my experience you'll be fine. I disclosed a caution to a big 4 firm after receiving an offer (by emailing the HR contact who requested references). They didn't care.
