Account clergyman finds correct (8)
I believe the answer is:
accurate
'correct' is the definition.
('accurate' is associated in meaning with 'correct')
'account clergyman' is the wordplay.
'account' becomes 'ac'.
'clergyman' becomes 'curate' (curate is a kind of clergyman).
'ac'+'curate'='ACCURATE'
'finds' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for accurate that I've seen before include "Precise, correct" , "carefully and precisely" , "Totally correct" , "Correct, right" , "faithful" .)
