Recalled accountant and team leader being charged for this deed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

action

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

'recalled accountant and team leader being charged' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written in reverse (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'accountant' becomes 'CA' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
'being charged' becomes 'ion' (I've seen this in other clues).
The first letter of 'team' is 't'.
'ca' backwards is 'ac'.
'ac'+'t'+'ion'='ACTION'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for action that I've seen before include "Fighting - lawsuit" , "instruction from director" , "Combat" , "Law suit" , "skirmish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
