Child maintenance: client funds accounts
Accounts for the client funds relating to the statutory child maintenance schemes.
Under the statutory child maintenance schemes the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is responsible for collecting money from non-resident parents and paying this to parents caring for the child. In some cases, where parents with care have received benefits, the money is paid directly to DWP.
HM Treasury requires DWP to publish accounts for this money, known as the client funds accounts, that are separate from the accounts for the rest of its activities.
