Crossword Genius

Bill presented to clergyman is correct (8)

Ross

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" .)
