**Report to the** Charity Name SALTNEY SMALL STEPS **trustees/ members of** 31[ST] August 2022 **Charity** 1184108 **On accounts for the no (if year ended any)**
**Set out on pages** 1 to 2 of the CC16a
(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] August 2022.
**Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the **basis of report** preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material **examiner's** matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed **statement** below *) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
- _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._

**Address:** 12 Brimstage Avenue Wirral CH63 5QH
## **Section B Disclosure**
Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners).
**Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** .
No comments of concern to report. However, the Independent Examination can only confirm the amount of receipts received in respect of Parentpay/Gateway. It cannot reconcile the amounts received to any paperwork so it is assumed that the staff Management and Trustees are happy that this is virtually audited via the software.
