background check for FT

As a juvenile, was charged with theft. Incident occurred several years ago.

Wasn't asked anything on the application and obviously not in the interview. If it's not disclosed during the routine background check would this come around to screw me over with FINRA and securities later when starting full time?? Home state automatically seals/expunges at 18 with no further infractions.

Planning to disclose based on the language in the background check (charged vs convicted), but otherwise curious as to best course of action.
