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, 2026. 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, 2026 (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 May 1, 2026 (the immediate
date after our last examination) through June 30, 2026:
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, 2026, 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.
