Bill presented to clergyman is correct (8)
I believe the answer is:
accurate
'is correct' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'bill presented to clergyman' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'ac' (short for account).
'presented to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'clergyman' becomes 'curate' (assistant to a priest).
'ac'+'curate'='ACCURATE'
(Other definitions for accurate that I've seen before include "Factual" , "Correct, right" , "strict" , "Careful, precise" , "Care a cut is exact" .)
