Based on the most helpful WSO content, background checks for summer analyst (SA) roles in the UK may involve verifying academic qualifications, including A-levels, especially if they are listed on your CV or are part of the firm's minimum requirements. Employers may request transcripts to confirm the accuracy of the information provided. If A-levels are not explicitly required or mentioned, they might not be checked, but it's always best to ensure all details on your CV are accurate.
