[QUOTE="Alison C, post: 249905, member: 3943"] I've only just seen this but I'm sorry of course. I currently work in professional conduct investigations for a global accountancy regulator dealing with this type of case (amongst many others). For my employer, one of the key things is PROMPT notification. I really hope that you've told your employer about this as any delay just makes you more subject to difficulties. They are likely to have a policy, as will the SRA who are the real regulators here. The SRA's regulations will have a clause around prompt notification, but that may only be an issue when you apply for membership, and for a DBS if you need one. I cannot overstate how important it is to be upfront and honest. Professions such as law and accountancy hold honesty and integrity in the highest esteem, and so they should. You may be able to call the SRA anonymously - eg my using a friend's phone - if that feels safer to you. But you need to act and you need to act fast. I am hoping you've already done this. I've come across a number of people in the accountancy profession who have turned their lives around after incidents like this, and far worse (eg death by careless driving, which was desperately sad to read about). Learning and moving forward is the important thing. And in your case, tackling the drinking. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
