If I file for bankruptcy can i be a CFA?

[bcstudent1]

just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question. I’m considering filing for bankruptcy, if i do, does that elimiate me from becoming a CFA charterholder?
Thanks

Of course not.
It may affect your career in other ways however.

some companies have background checks you will fail if you’ve ever filed for bankruptcy

It’s OK as long as it doesn’t involve fraud or something like that.

I remember doing a CFA ethics question that asked this exact question. The answer was that it doesn’t matter.
