Doctor account with a record to raise bill (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

placard

'bill' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'doctor account with a record to raise' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' ('Dr' can be a synonym of 'doctor'**).
'account' becomes 'ac'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'record' becomes 'lp' (LP is an example).
'to raise' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'dr'+'ac'+'a'+'lp'='dracalp'
'dracalp' backwards is 'PLACARD'.

(Other definitions for placard that I've seen before include "Sign posted in a public place as an advertisement" , "Sign for public display" , "Notice carried for public display" , "Poster" , "Large portable notice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
