Dodgy credit around source of financing that is put right (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rectified

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

'dodgy credit around source of financing that is' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' indicates an anagram (a dodgy or wrong order of the letters).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'source of' says to take the initial letters (the start - or source - of the word).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (abbreviation for id est, 'that is' in Latin).
The first letter of 'financing' is 'f'.
'credit' is an anagram of 'rectid'.
'f'+'ie'='fie'
'rectid' placed around 'fie' is 'RECTIFIED'.

(Other definitions for rectified that I've seen before include "repaired" , "Put right" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
