Last one. 27a Teaching graduate recalled it in a change to account (5) D?B?T.
Debit or debut? Cannot parse either!
Many thanks

Debit - it has B.Ed, Bachelor of Education, teaching graduate, reversed (recalled) before it.
PS Was it a 'charge' to account?

Many thanks. It was definitely change rather than charge. Must have been a typo in the paper

bigdave - any ideas as to the parsing of 17 Across, to possibly arrive at "TINY" as a solution?

I think the clue as written is fine. A debit is a change to an account.
