Independent Accountant’s Report

 

The Board of Directors

First American Funds Trust

 

 

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that First American Funds Trust (the Company) (comprised of Government Obligations Fund, Institutional Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (collectively, the Funds)) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of June 30, 2025. Management is responsible for its assertion about compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Act (the specified requirements). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion about compliance with the specified requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether management’s assertion is fairly stated, in all material respects. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of management’s assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We are required to be independent of First American Funds Trust and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, as applicable for examination engagements set forth in the Preface: Applicable to All Members and Part 1 - Members in Public Practice of the Code of Professional Conduct established by the AICPA.

 

Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of June 30, 2025 (the examination date we selected without prior notice to management) and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales or maturities, for the period from June 1, 2025 (the immediate date after our last examination) through June 30, 2025:

 

Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form (Depository Trust Company and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston);
   

Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Company and the Custodian;
   

Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks and agreement of underlying collateral with the Custodian’s records; and
   

Agreement of 13 security purchases and 12 security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the Company to broker confirmations.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the specified requirements.

 

In our opinion, management’s assertion that First American Funds Trust complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Act as of June 30, 2025, with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Company is fairly stated, in all material respects.

 

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of First American Funds Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
