Accept as true current bookkeeping entry (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accredit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accept as true' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'current bookkeeping entry' is the wordplay.
'current bookkeeping' becomes 'ac' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'entry' becomes 'credit' (credit entry is a kind of entry).
'ac'+'credit'='ACCREDIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accredit that I've seen before include "Show to be correct" , "Trace CID and send them with credentials" , "Endorse" , "Red cacti (anag)" , "Accept as true" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
