What is the background check comprised of?

You will sign a paper that basically gives them full access to any records they want - school, government, employment - anything except medical records are fair game.
Anyone who lies and thinks he won't get caught, especially with the new emphasis on business ethics and the SEC, is nuts.

what do you mean employment? there is no beauracracy or agency that collects employment records. where does an employment report come from? thin air?

your former employers. The background checking company will then contact them for information about you, and, again, you will have signed a waiver giving them the right to any information. If you don't list one of your employers, there will be a big gap in your work history, so that's kind of a red flag.

what if you own your own company?

if you own your own company and therefore you control all of your records, I guess you can give them whatever you want.

I think these background checks only look for Police records and such, I highly doubt they can get your transcripts and SAT scores from your University & CollegeBoard. Most Banks do ask for copies of your transcript though, it's fairly standard.

For my previous internship, it was Credit check , Criminal Check, and refernces from my previous employers which I provided them with. I didn't know about academic reconrds cuz I thought we provided them with those.

are absolutely included. SATs too - the sheet you sign spells this out, it gives them permission to basically check anything they want.

I believe that there's a clause that most universities have saying they can't under any circumstances, divulge info to an employer without the individual's release. Therefore, you could allow the employer to "check" on these things, but if the university won't divulge, the employer is out of luck.

Once you sign that release, the school will give out the information. It's standard, and you will have to sign the release in order to start work at the bank. Honestly, it's that simple.

credit, police, and employment history sounds right. they prolly can't get SATs and as for the transcript, you have to submit one anyway.

They definitely can't get SATs, as those are done by a private company (College Board) and are not publicly available. I wouldn't worry anyway--they were taken when we were....16? 17?

The SATs are administered by a private company, but they WILL give out your score if you sign a privacy waiver, which you will have to do!
