Explanation of Financial Statements |
As a shareholder in First American Funds you receive shareholder reports semi-annually. We strive to present this financial information in an easy-to-understand format; however, for many investors, the information contained in this shareholder report may seem very technical. So we would like to take this opportunity to explain several sections of the shareholder report.
The Schedule of Investments details all of the securities held in the fund and their related dollar values on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are presented by type (certificates of deposit, government agency debt, etc.) and, for Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, by state. This information is useful for analyzing how your fund’s assets are invested and seeing where your portfolio manager believes the best opportunities exist to meet your objectives. Holdings are subject to change without notice and do not constitute a recommendation of any individual security. The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional details on how the securities are valued.
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities lists the assets and liabilities of the fund and presents the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. The investments as presented in the Schedule of Investments comprise substantially all of the fund’s assets. Other assets include cash and receivables for items such as income earned by the fund but not yet received. Liabilities include payables for items such as fund expenses incurred but not yet paid.
The Statement of Operations details interest income earned from securities as well as the expenses incurred by the fund during the reporting period. Fund expenses may be reduced through fee waivers or reimbursements. This statement reflects total expenses before any waivers or reimbursements, the amount of waivers and reimbursements (if any), and the net expenses. This statement also shows the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments owned during the period. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional details on investment income and expenses of the fund.
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets describes how the fund’s net assets were affected by its operating results, distributions to shareholders, and shareholder transactions during the reporting period. This statement is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the fund’s net asset size to change during the period.
The Financial Highlights provide a per-share breakdown of the components that affected the fund’s NAV for the current and past reporting periods. It also shows total return, expense ratios, and net investment income ratios. The net investment income ratios summarize the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets. The expense ratios represent the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period.

The Notes to Financial Statements disclose the organizational background of the fund, its significant accounting policies, federal tax information, fees and compensation paid to affiliates, and significant risks and contingencies.

Expense Examples (unaudited)
Expense Example
As a shareholder of one or more of the funds you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested in a fund at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021.
Actual Expenses
For each class of each fund, two lines are presented in the table below - the first line for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular fund and class, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value in the fund and class by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your fund and class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each fund, the second line for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare these hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the tables for each class of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of First American Funds, Inc..
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of First American Funds, Inc., comprising the 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 referred to as the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds comprising the First American Funds, Inc. at August 31, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Restatement of August 31, 2021 Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the August 31, 2021 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement related to the accounting for the over-issuance of shares previously accounted for as equity rather than as liabilities.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2021, by correspondence with
10 | FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS 2021 ANNUAL REPORT |
the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 (each a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”) are mutual funds offered by First American Funds, Inc. (“FAF”), which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. FAF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), as an open-end investment management company. FAF’s articles of incorporation permit the board of directors to create additional funds in the future. U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (“USBAM”) is the investment advisor and administrator to each of the funds (the “advisor” and “administrator”) and is a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). U.S. Bank is a separate entity and wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp.
Government Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund qualify as “government money market funds” under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act and seek to maintain a stable net asset value (“NAV”) per share of one dollar. They are generally not subject to the default liquidity fees and redemption gates that may apply to other money market funds and the board of directors has determined not to impose such fees and gates on these funds.
Government Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund offer Class A, Class D, Class T (effective September 18, 2020), Class V, Class Y, and Class Z shares. Additionally, Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund offer Class P and Class X shares, and Government Obligations Fund also offers Class U shares. Effective October 26, 2018, Class G shares were converted to Class A shares of Treasury Obligations Fund.
Retail Prime Obligations Fund and Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund are open to retail investors (“natural persons”) and seek to maintain a stable NAV per share of one dollar. They are subject to the possibility of liquidity fees and redemption gates, as required by Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. Retail Prime Obligations Fund and Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund offer Class A, Class T (effective September 18, 2020 for Retail Tax Fee Obligations Fund), Class V, Class Y, and Class Z shares. Retail Prime Obligations Fund also offers Class X shares.
Institutional Prime Obligations Fund is subject to the possibility of liquidity fees and redemption gates and transacts at a floating NAV that is calculated out to four decimal places, as required by Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. The fund offers Class T, Class V, Class Y, and Class Z shares.
Each fund’s prospectus provides descriptions of its investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks. All classes of shares of a fund have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees and expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to its servicing or distribution arrangements.
2 | > Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The significant accounting policies followed by the funds are as follows:
SECURITY VALUATIONS
Government Obligations Fund, Retail Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Investment securities held are stated at amortized cost (except for investments in other money market funds which are valued at their most current NAV), which approximates fair value. Under the amortized cost method any discount or premium is amortized
66 | FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT |
ratably to the final maturity of the security and is included in interest income. In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, the fair value of securities held in the funds are determined using amortized cost, which is compared to prices provided by independent pricing providers.
If the advisor concludes that the price obtained from the pricing service is not reliable, or if the pricing service does not provide a price for a security, the advisor will use the fair value of the security for purposes of this comparison, which will be determined pursuant to procedures approved by the board of directors. If the difference between the aggregate market value and aggregate amortized cost of all securities held by a fund exceeds 0.25%, the funds’ administrator will notify the funds’ board of directors and will monitor the deviation on a daily basis. If the difference exceeds 0.50%, a meeting of the board of directors will be convened and the board will determine what action, if any, to take. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the differences between the aggregate market value and the aggregate amortized cost of all securities did not exceed 0.25% for any fund on any day of the period.
Institutional Prime Obligations Fund
The fund prices and transacts its shares at a floating NAV, rounded to the fourth decimal place. The NAV per share of each share class of the fund is calculated at 8:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 2:00 p.m. Central Time on each business day that the fund is open. The fund’s investments for which market quotations are readily available will be valued at market value on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by securities dealers. If market quotations are not readily available, or if the advisor believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect market prices, the fair value of the fund’s investments will be determined in good faith based upon valuation procedures established by the board of directors. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost where the advisor believes that it approximates market value. Shares of other money market funds are valued at their most current NAV.
United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or technique. These principles establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities with similar interest rates, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Notes to Financial Statements | August 31, 2021, all dollars and shares are rounded to thousands (000 omitted) |
The fair value levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. As of August 31, 2021, each fund’s investments were classified as follows:

68 | FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT |
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, there were no transfers between fair value levels, and the funds’ portfolios did not hold any securities deemed to be Level 3.
ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the funds’ board of directors as reflecting fair value.
Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and may be valued under methods approved by the funds’ board of directors as reflecting fair value. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors are not subject to the limitation on a fund’s investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the funds’ board of directors.
As of and during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the funds did not hold any restricted securities. As of August 31, 2021, Government Obligations Fund, Institutional Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Prime Obligations Fund, and Treasury Obligations Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $625,000 or 0.7% of total net assets, $40,000 or 2.8% of total net assets, $80,000 or 3.6% of total net assets, and $75,000 or 0.3% of total net assets, respectively.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest income, including amortization, is recorded on an accrual basis.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the fund at net asset value on the first business day of the following month.
FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
As of August 31, 2021, the funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years.
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book-to-tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period in which the differences arise. As of August 31, 2021, none of the funds had adjustments that impacted these accounts.
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the period that the income or realized gains were recorded by the fund.

Treasury Obligations Fund | 151,089 | — | — | 151,089 |
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | 19,909 | — | — | 19,909 |
Each fund designates as long-term capital gain dividend, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce the earnings and profits related to net capital gain to zero for the tax year ended August 31, 2021.
As of August 31, 2021, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
Fund | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Tax Exempt Income | Undistributed Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital Gains (Losses) | Unrealized Appreciation | Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) |
Government Obligations Fund | $ 1,878 | $ — | $ 2 | $ — | $ — | $ 1,880 |

Treasury Obligations Fund | 238 | — | — | — | — | 238 |
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | 69 | — | — | — | — | 69 |
The differences between book-basis and tax-basis undistributed/accumulated income, gains, and losses are primarily due to distributions declared but not paid by August 31, 2021.
70 | FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT |
Under current law, the funds may carry forward net capital losses indefinitely to use to offset capital gains realized in future years. Capital losses realized under current law will carry forward retaining their classification as either long-term or short-term losses. As of August 31, 2021, Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund had indefinite short-term capital loss carryforwards of $16. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, Treasury Obligations Fund utilized $79 of capital loss carryforwards.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS – Each fund (other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) may enter into repurchase agreement transactions with counterparties whom the funds’ investment advisor deems creditworthy, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities from the funds at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the fund, plus interest, at a rate that is negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.
Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreement transactions are held by the custodian bank or maintained in a segregated account by an unaffiliated third-party custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreement transaction. Provisions of the repurchase agreements are designed to ensure that the value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the fund may be delayed or limited. Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund did not enter into repurchase agreement transactions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), each fund may enter into repurchase agreement transactions (and other short-term investments) on a joint basis with certain other funds advised by the advisor.

EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to the funds on several bases, including relative net assets of all funds. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, are borne by that class.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3 > Fees and Expenses
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, USBAM manages each fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreement requires each fund to pay USBAM a monthly fee equal, on an annual basis, to 0.10% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“USBGFS”) serves as sub-administrator pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between USBGFS and USBAM. USBGFS is a subsidiary of U.S. Bank. Under the administration agreement, USBAM is compensated to provide, or compensates other entities to provide, services to the funds. These services include various legal, oversight, administrative, and accounting services. Effective August 26, 2021, the funds pay USBAM administration fees, which are calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to each fund’s pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.18% of the aggregate average daily Class A share net assets and 0.13% of the aggregate average daily net assets for all other share classes of all funds, up to $8 billion, 0.165% for Class A shares and 0.115% for all other classes on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.15% for Class A shares and 0.10% for all other classes on the next $25 billion of aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.13% for Class A shares and 0.08% for all other classes of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion.

net assets in excess of $50 billion. All fees paid to the sub-administrator are paid from the administration fee. In addition to these fees, the funds may reimburse USBAM and the sub-administrator for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing administration services.
In order to maintain minimum yields for each fund, or to keep total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding the fund classes expense limitations, USBAM voluntarily waived or reimbursed administration fees of $85,534, $1,092, $1,657, $576, $29,668, and $3,649, for 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, respectively, during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES – USBGFS serves as the funds’ transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agent agreement between USBGFS and the funds. The funds are charged transfer agent fees on a per shareholder account basis, subject to a minimum fee per share class, based upon the number of accounts within each fund. In addition to these fees, the funds pay USBGFS each fund’s pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.0008% of the aggregate average daily net assets up to $25 billion, 0.0007% of the aggregate average daily net assets for the next $25 billion, and 0.0005% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The funds may reimburse USBGFS for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.
CUSTODIAN FEES – U.S. Bank serves as the funds’ custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement between U.S. Bank and the funds. Each fund pays the custodian its pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.0045% of the aggregate average daily market value of all securities and cash held in the funds, up to $25 billion, 0.0040% of the aggregate average daily market value of all securities and cash held in the funds for the next $25 billion, and 0.0035% of the aggregate average daily market value of all securities and cash held in the funds in excess of $50 billion. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.
Under the custodian agreement, the custodian may charge a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred by a particular fund, which increases that fund’s custodian expenses.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, custodian fees were not increased as a result of any overdrafts.
DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING (12B - 1) FEES – On July 7, 2021, Foreside Financial Group, LLC (“Foreside”), the parent company of Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), the funds’ distributor, announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Genstar Capital (“Genstar”) such that Genstar would acquire a majority stake in Foreside. The transaction is expected to close at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Quasar will remain the funds’ distributor at the close of the transaction, subject to the approval of the funds’ board of directors. Under the distribution agreement and pursuant to a plan adopted by each fund under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, each fund pays Quasar a monthly distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of up to 0.25% and 0.15% of each fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class D, respectively. No distribution or shareholder servicing fees are paid to Quasar by any other share class of the funds. These fees are used by Quasar for the primary purpose of reimbursing broker-dealers for their sale of fund shares.
In order to maintain minimum yields for each fund, or to keep total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding the fund classes expense limitations, 12b-1 distribution and shareholder servicing fees were reimbursed or suspended in the amounts of $6,064, $934, $145, $3,056, and $230 for Government Obligations Fund,

Under these distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, no amounts were received by affiliates of USBAM for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICING (NON - 12B - 1) FEES – FAF has also adopted and entered into a shareholder servicing plan and agreement with USBAM, under which USBAM has agreed to provide FAF, or will enter into written agreements with other service providers pursuant to which the service providers will provide FAF, with non-distribution-related services to shareholders of Class A, Class D, Class T, Class V, and Class Y shares. Each fund pays USBAM a monthly shareholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class D, and Class Y shares, a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares, and a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class V shares.
In order to maintain a minimum yield, or to prevent total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding the fund classes expense limitations, USBAM waived or reimbursed $37,548, $776, $3,835, $979, $13,027, and $2,337 for 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, respectively, during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

5 > | Portfolio Characteristics of the Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund |
The Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund invests in municipal securities. At August 31, 2021, the percentage of portfolio investments by each category was as follows:
| | Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund | |
Weekly Variable Rate Demand Notes | | | 63.6 | % |
Commercial Paper & Put Bonds | | | 18.9 | |
Daily Variable Rate Demand Notes | | | 12.8 | |
Other Municipal Notes & Bonds | | | 4.7 | |
| | | 100.0 | % |
The Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund invests in longer-term securities that include revenue bonds, non-financial company commercial paper, and general obligation bonds. At August 31, 2021, the percentage of total portfolio investments by each revenue source was as follows:
| | Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund | |
Revenue Bonds | | | 79.5 | % |
Non-Financial Company Commercial Paper | | | 18.9 | |
General Obligations | | | 1.6 | |
| | | 100.0 | % |
The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as it would be dependent upon future claims that may be made against the funds. However, the funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Financial markets around the world may experience extreme volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty and turmoil resulting from major cybersecurity events, geopolitical events (including wars, terror attacks, and disruptions to foreign economic and trade relationships), public health emergencies, measures to address budget deficits, downgrading of sovereign debt, and public sentiment, among other events. Resulting market volatility, dramatic changes to interest rates, and otherwise unfavorable economic conditions may negatively impact the fund’s performance or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
A novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) first detected in China in December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. COVID-19, despite recent vaccination efforts, has disrupted global economies and financial markets, with the closure of borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could affect the economies of many nations, individual companies and the market in general in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. Health crises caused by COVID-19 may exacerbate other pre-existing political,
76 | FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT |
social and economic risks. The impact of COVID-19 may be short term or may last for an extended period of time.
At a special meeting held on August 26, 2021, the funds’ board of directors approved the proposed reorganization of Government Select Series, a series of PFM Funds, into Government Obligations Fund, a series of FAF (the “Reorganization”), in connection with USBAM’s anticipated acquisition of PFM Asset Management, LLC (the “Acquisition”), which is expected to close in December 2021. The Reorganization is contingent on its approval by shareholders of Government Select Series and the closing of the Acquisition. The Reorganization is not expected to have any dilutive impact on the shareholders of Government Obligations Fund.
9 > | Government Obligations Fund – Restatement |
Subsequent to the issuance of the annual report for the period ended August 31, 2022, Government Obligations Fund (the “fund”) determined the over-issued shares (as such shares are described in note 10 below) should be accounted for as a liability in the fund’s financial statements. Notwithstanding the change in accounting treatment, each holder of shares of the fund’s Class X and Class Z shares (including those holding over-issued shares) experienced the full economic benefits of being a shareholder of the fund, as further explained in note 10 below (which has been revised to provide updated information).
The over-issued shares had previously been treated as portfolio capital in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the fund. The fund has restated its statements of assets and liabilities, the schedules of investments, statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, and the semiannual periods ended February 28, 2022, February 28, 2021, and February 29, 2020, to treat the over-issued shares as a liability. The restatement adjustments had no effect on the fund’s reported net asset values during the reporting periods.
Because shares of the fund are generally held through omnibus accounts at financial intermediaries authorized to distribute fund shares, the fund and fund management are not able to determine with certainty the holders of fund shares within a given omnibus account that held over-issued shares at any given point in time during the periods subject to the restatement. In preparing the restated financial statements, fund management determined the number of outstanding over-issued shares by accounting for redemptions at the omnibus account level as received during the day, with any overissued shares being redeemed first, and accounting for subscriptions in the aggregate at the end of the day. This methodology is consistent with the fund's standard operating procedures related to the processing of daily redemptions and subscriptions and was consistently applied for all periods subject to restatement.

10 > | Events Subsequent To Period End |
Government Obligations Fund (the “fund”) issued shares of two classes in excess of amounts authorized by the funds’ board of directors. Both the fund’s Class X shares and Class Z shares issued shares in excess of amounts authorized for the periods that began in September 2020 and October 2019, respectively, and ended September 8, 2021, on which date the articles of amendment to FAF’s articles of incorporation, which authorized the issuance of additional shares, were filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State. The fund’s Class X shares and Class Z shares each now have 100 billion shares authorized.
With respect to all shares of each class (including Class X and Class Z shares previously issued in excess of amounts then-authorized), the fund maintained a $1.00 per share net asset value, and each holder of shares of each class (including those holding over-issued shares) received all dividends declared by FAF to which they were entitled and experienced the full economic benefits of being a shareholder of the fund.
In part to address the over-issuance, the fund’s board of directors has approved, subject to shareholder approval, the reorganization of the fund into a newly created fund (Government Obligations Fund, a series of First American Funds Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (“FAF Trust”)). FAF Trust initially filed registration statements on Form N-1A and Form N-14 on October 27, 2021, and November 18, 2021, respectively. The registration statements are pending SEC staff review and the date of their effectiveness is uncertain. The registration statements are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS’ INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Board, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees the management of each Fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with USBAM (as used in this section, the “Agreement”).
At meetings on May 17, 2021 and June 15, 20211, the Board considered information relating to the Agreement. In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the Agreement and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to the meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
Although the Agreement relates to all of the Funds, the Board separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each Fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of USBAM’s services to each Fund, (2) the investment performance of each Fund, (3) the comparative expense information, including an analysis of USBAM’s cost of providing services and the profitability of USBAM related to the Funds, (4) whether economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels are adjusted to enable Fund investors to share in these potential economies of scale, and (5) other benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Agreement with respect to any Fund and individual directors may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.
At the May 17, 2021 and June 15, 2021 meetings and before approving the Agreement, the independent directors met in executive session with their independent counsel to consider the materials provided by USBAM and the terms of the Agreement. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund and approved the Agreement through June 30, 2022. In reaching its conclusion, the Board considered the following:
| 1 | The approval of the Agreement at the June 15, 2021 meeting was in accordance with an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2020 (as subsequently modified and extended on March 25, 2020, June 19, 2020 and January 5, 2021). |

Nature, Quality and Extent of Investment Advisory Services
The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by USBAM to each Fund. The Board reviewed USBAM’s key personnel who provide investment management services to each Fund as well as the fact that, under the Agreement, USBAM has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for each Fund within the framework of that Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, subject to review by the Board. The Board further considered that USBAM’s duties with respect to each Fund include: (i) investment research and security selection, (ii) adherence to (and monitoring compliance with) the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions and the 1940 Act, and (iii) monitoring the performance of the various organizations providing services to the Funds, including the Funds’ distributor, sub- administrator, transfer agent and custodian. Finally, the Board considered USBAM’s representation that the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement are the type of services customarily provided by investment advisers in the fund industry. The Board also considered compliance reports about USBAM from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.
The Board considered that in March 2020, all but a small number of USBAM employees began working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board noted that USBAM has not experienced any material disruptions to its operations during this time.
Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that each Fund benefits from the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Funds
The Board considered the performance of each Fund, including comparative information provided by an independent data service, regarding the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by that data service (the “performance universe”) for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended February 28, 2021. With respect to the comparative information provided by the independent data service, the Board considered USBAM’s assertion that the comparative data for Class Y shares provides meaningful information for the Board’s consideration of the Agreement because Class Y shares is a share class offered by each Fund. The Board noted that Class Z shares is the other share class offered by each Fund, however, in USBAM’s view, Class Y shares are more representative of a Fund’s broader shareholder base as they are offered to both retail and institutional investors, whereas Class Z shares are primarily offered to institutional investors. The Board further considered USBAM’s assertion that the analysis of investment performance would not differ materially if another share class were selected for comparative purposes.
The Board considered USBAM’s assertion that investment performance should be focused on a Fund’s gross-of-expenses performance as compared to the peer group’s performance universe median since performance gross-of-expenses more accurately reflects the pure investment performance of USBAM’s portfolio managers, supported by traders and the credit research team, as they are responsible for managing the Fund’s assets and are not responsible for the pricing of the Fund’s various share classes. Additionally, with respect to the net-of-expenses performance information, the Board considered USBAM’s assertion that it is important to note that each Fund’s peer group performance universe includes comparable funds with multiple share classes and pricing structures. Because of this, the Board noted that there will be more significant variation in returns on a net-of-expenses basis that is not truly reflective of the market for a particular share class (in this case, the Fund’s Class Y shares). For these reasons, the Board considered USBAM’s assertion that the net-of-expenses performance comparison is not as meaningful as the gross-of-expenses performance comparison for purposes of the Board’s assessment of a Fund’s investment performance.
FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 83 |
Notice to Shareholders | August 31, 2021 (unaudited) |
GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was equal to its performance universe median for the five-year period and the Fund outperformed its performance universe median for the one- and three-year periods by seven and two basis points, respectively, on a gross-of-expenses basis. The Board also considered that the Fund underperformed in relation to its performance universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods on a net-of-expenses basis. The Board considered that the Fund’s competitive performance on a gross-of-expenses basis indicated that the Fund’s portfolio management team was successfully implementing the Fund’s investment strategy, and in light of this competitive performance, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
RETAIL PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its performance universe median over the one-year period by four basis points and underperformed its performance universe median over the three-year period by two basis points on a gross-of-expenses basis. The Board also considered that the Fund underperformed in relation to its performance universe median for the one-year period by four basis points and outperformed its performance universe median over the three- year period by three basis points on a net-of-expenses basis. The Board noted the Fund’s competitive third-quartile performance on a gross-of-expenses basis and, in light of this competitive performance, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
INSTITUTIONAL PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was equal to its performance universe median on a gross-of-expenses basis and fifteen basis points below its performance universe median on a net-of- expenses basis over the one-year period. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its performance universe median over the three- and five-year periods on a net-of-expenses basis and gross-of-expenses basis. The Board noted that while the Fund’s asset base has generally been more stable in the past year (between $900 million-$1.2 billion), there have been large inflows throughout the year that have been short-term in nature. Because of this, the Board considered that the Fund’s portfolio has been structured to support liquidity targets and fund metrics that account for expected subsequent outflows, which has had a negative impact on fund performance. In light of these considerations, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
TREASURY OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance universe median over the one-, three- and five-year periods on a gross-of- expenses basis. The Board also considered that the Fund underperformed its performance universe median over the one-, three- and five-year periods on a net-of- expenses basis. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance on a gross-of-expenses basis indicated that the Fund’s portfolio management team was successfully implementing the Fund’s investment strategy, and in light of this competitive performance, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
RETAIL TAX FREE OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was equal to its performance universe median on a gross-of-expenses basis and one basis point below its performance universe on a net-of-expenses basis over the one-year period. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its performance universe median over the three- and five-year periods on a gross-of- expenses and net-of-expenses basis. The Board considered that the information prepared by the independent consultant reflects that the Fund has generally remained competitive on a gross-of-expenses basis, with results trailing the performance universe median for each of the periods by only a slight margin. The Board further considered
84 | FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT |
that the Fund’s underperformance can be attributed to the relatively high quality of the Fund’s portfolio holdings as compared to the performance universe and the entirely tax- free nature of the Fund’s income. The Board noted that the Fund has historically been more conservatively positioned relative to peers that invest as a strategy in higher credit risk issuers. In addition, the Board considered that, although the Fund is allowed to invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable securities, including securities subject to the alternative minimum tax, the Fund does not invest in any such securities, which is not the case for all funds in the Fund’s performance universe. In light of the Fund’s entirely tax-free nature of its investments and its generally competitive performance compared to its performance universe on a gross-of-expenses basis, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance universe median over the one-year period by eight basis points on a gross-of-expenses basis and underperformed its performance universe median by two basis point on a net-of-expenses basis. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its performance universe median during the three- and five-year periods on a gross-of-expenses basis and on a net-of-expenses basis. The Board considered that the information prepared by the independent consultant illustrates that the Fund has remained competitive on a gross-of-expenses basis, with results trailing the performance universe median for the three-year and five-year periods by only a slight margin. The Board further considered USBAM’s assertion that the Fund’s underperformance for periods other than the one-year period on a gross-of-expense basis is generally attributable to cash flows in and out of the Fund, which vary from month to month, and affect the duration and performance of the portfolio for the relevant period and that, because of the relatively narrow range of returns in the performance universe, rankings within the universe will change frequently. In light of the competitive performance on a gross-of-expenses basis, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
Fees and Expenses of the Funds
The Board reviewed the fees paid to USBAM and the other expenses borne by each Fund, as applicable. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of each Fund and comparable funds.
With respect to the comparative information provided by the independent data service, the Board considered USBAM’s assertion that the comparative data for Class Y shares provides meaningful information for the Board’s consideration of the Agreement because Class Y shares is a share class offered by each Fund. The Board noted that Class Z shares is the other share class offered by each Fund and considered USBAM’s assertion that Class Y shares are more representative of a Fund’s broader shareholder base as they are offered to both retail and institutional investors, whereas Class Z shares are primarily offered to institutional investors. The Board further considered USBAM’s assertion that the analysis of the cost of services would not differ materially if another share class were selected for comparative purposes.
The Board considered USBAM’s assertion that the costs of services should be primarily focused on a Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers as compared to the expense group median total expense ratio after waivers. The Board considered that this is because funds within an expense group may have very different expense categories (e.g., advisory, administrative, shareholder servicing, etc.), and fees associated with such categories, that comprise a fund’s total expense ratio. The Board also considered USBAM’s assertion that because money market funds are highly commoditized, and it is relatively easy for investors to move from one fund to another, the need to remain
FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 85 |
Notice to Shareholders | August 31, 2021 (unaudited) |
competitive on overall costs of services is critical. The Board noted that, generally, money market funds, including the Funds, use a combination of contractual and voluntary expense waivers and reimbursements to enable a fund to remain competitive within the particular market served by each fund share class.
The Board further considered that the median total expense ratio of a Fund’s peer group will necessarily reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the comparable funds’ advisory fee schedules. Therefore, by capping a Fund’s total expense ratio at a level close to the peer group’s median, as necessary, Fund shareholders will effectively receive the benefit of any breakpoints in the comparable funds’ advisory fee schedules.
GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee is lower than the applicable peer group median, and the advisory fee after waivers is equal to the applicable peer group median. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers is five basis points higher than the peer group median total expense ratio after waivers, which is at a level generally in line with its peer group. The Board noted that the Fund also had contractual fee caps in place for each share class. In light of the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio after waivers, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee is fair.
RETAIL PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and advisory fee after waivers are both lower than the peer group median. The Board further considered that the Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers is seven basis points lower than the peer group median total expense ratio after waivers. The Board noted that the Fund also had contractual fee caps in place for each share class. In light of the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio after waivers, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee is fair.
INSTITUTIONAL PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee is five basis points lower than the applicable peer group median, and the advisory fee after waivers is equal to the applicable peer group median. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers is one basis point higher than the peer group median total expense ratio after waivers, which is at a level generally in line with its peer group. The Board noted that the Fund also had contractual fee caps in place for each share class. In light of the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio after waivers, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee is fair.
TREASURY OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and advisory fee after waivers are both lower than the peer group median. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers is two basis points higher than the peer group median total expense ratio after waivers. The Board noted that the Fund also had contractual fee caps in place for each share class. In light of the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio after waivers, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee is fair.
RETAIL TAX FREE OBLIGATIONS FUND. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee is lower than the applicable peer group median and its advisory fee after waivers is equal to the peer group median. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers is three basis points lower than the peer group median total expense ratio after waivers. The Board noted that the Fund also had contractual fee caps in place for each share class. In light of the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio after waivers, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee is fair.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee is three basis points lower than the applicable peer group median, and the advisory fee after waivers is equal to the applicable peer group
86 | FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT |
median, and the advisory fee after waivers is equal to the applicable peer group median. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers is equal to the peer group median total expense ratio after waivers, which is at a level generally in line with its peer group. The Board noted that the Fund also had contractual fee caps in place for each share class. In light of the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio after waivers, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee is fair.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by USBAM
The Board reviewed USBAM’s costs in serving as the Funds’ investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Funds. The Board considered the profitability of USBAM and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each Fund. The Board compared fee and expense information for each Fund to fee and expense information for comparable funds managed by other advisers. The Board reviewed advisory fees for private accounts managed by USBAM.
Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board also evaluated each Fund’s advisory fee compared to the median advisory fee for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and the Board evaluated each Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers compared to the median total expense ratio after waivers of comparable funds. In connection with its review of Fund fees and expenses, the Board considered USBAM’s pricing philosophy, whereby USBAM attempts generally to maintain each Fund’s total operating expenses at a level that approximates the median of a peer group of funds selected by an independent data service. The Board also noted that USBAM has agreed to voluntarily waive fees and reimburse expenses as needed to prevent each Fund’s yield on any share class from falling below 0.00%.
Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services
The Board considered the extent to which each Fund’s investment advisory fee reflects economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Based on information provided by USBAM, the Board noted that profitability will likely increase as assets grow over time. The Board considered that, although the Funds do not have advisory fee breakpoints in place, USBAM has committed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary to prevent each Fund’s yield on any share class from falling below 0.00% and to keep each Fund’s total expenses generally in line with the median total expenses of a peer group of funds as selected by an independent data service. The Board considered information presented by USBAM to support its assertion that the median total expense ratio of a Fund’s peer group likely reflects the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group and any economies of scale which those funds realize. In light of USBAM’s commitment to keep total Fund expenses competitive, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
Other Benefits to USBAM
In evaluating the benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that USBAM and certain of its affiliates serve the Funds in various capacities, including as investment adviser, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian and receive compensation from the Funds in connection with providing services to the Funds. The Board considered that each service provided to the Funds by USBAM or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.

(e)(1) | The audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures pursuant to paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are set forth below: |
Audit Committee policy regarding pre-approval of services provided by the Independent Auditor
The Audit Committee of the First American Funds (“Committee”) has responsibility for ensuring that all services performed by the independent audit firm for the funds do not impair the firm’s independence. This review is intended to provide reasonable oversight without removing management from its responsibility for day-to-day operations. In this regard, the Committee should:
| ● | Understand the nature of the professional services expected to be provided and their impact on auditor independence and audit quality |
| ● | Examine and evaluate the safeguards put into place by the Company and the auditor to safeguard independence |
| ● | Meet quarterly with the partner of the independent audit firm |
| ● | Consider approving categories of service that are not deemed to impair independence for a one-year period |
It is important that a qualitative rather than a mere quantitative evaluation be performed by the Committee in discharging its responsibilities.
Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the Committee will review and consider whether to pre-approve the financial plan for audit fees as well as categories of audit-related and non-audit services that may be performed by the funds’ independent audit firm directly for the funds. At least annually the Committee will receive a report from the independent audit firm of all audit and non-audit services, which were approved during the year.
The engagement of the independent audit firm for any non-audit service requires the written pre-approval of the Treasurer of the funds and all non-audit services performed by the independent audit firm will be disclosed in the required SEC periodic filings.
In connection with the Committee review and pre-approval responsibilities, the review by the Committee will consist of the following:
Audit Services
The categories of audit services and related fees to be reviewed and considered for pre-approval annually by the Committee or its delegate include the following:
| ● | Annual Fund financial statement audits |
| ● | Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required) |
| ● | SEC and regulatory filings and consents |
Audit-related Services
In addition, the following categories of audit-related services are deemed to be consistent with the role of the independent audit firm and, as such, will be considered for pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate, on an annual basis.
| ● | Accounting consultations |
| ● | Fund merger support services |
| ● | Other accounting related matters |
| ● | Agreed Upon Procedure Reports |
| ● | Other Internal Control Reports |
Notwithstanding any annual pre-approval of these categories of services, individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $25,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair or its delegate on a case-by-case basis. Individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $50,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate on a case-by-case basis.
Tax Services
The following categories of tax services are deemed to be consistent with the role of the independent audit firm and, as such, will be considered for pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate, on an annual basis.
| ● | Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following: |
| ● | Federal, state and local income tax compliance, and |
| ● | Sales and use tax compliance |
| ● | Timely RIC qualification reviews |
| ● | Tax distribution analysis and planning |
| ● | Tax authority examination services |
| ● | Tax appeals support services |
| ● | Accounting methods studies |
| ● | Fund merger support services |
| ● | Tax consulting services and related projects |
Notwithstanding any annual pre-approval of these categories of services, individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $25,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair or its delegate on a case-by-case basis. Individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $50,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate on a case-by-case basis.
Other Non-audit Services
The SEC auditor independence rules adopted in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act specifically allow certain non-audit services. Because of the nature of these services, none of these services may be commenced by the independent audit firm without the prior approval of the Committee. The Committee may delegate this responsibility to one or more of the Committee members, with the decisions presented to the full Committee at the next scheduled meeting.
Proscribed Services
In accordance with SEC rules on independence, the independent audit firm is prohibited from performing services in the following categories of non-audit services:
| ● | Accounting and bookkeeping services |
| ● | Financial information systems design and implementation |
| ● | Valuation services supporting the financial statements |
| ● | Actuarial services supporting the financial statements |
| ● | Expert services (e.g., litigation support) |
Policy for Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities within the Investment Company Complex
The Committee is also responsible for pre-approving certain non-audit services provided to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc., U.S. Bank N.A., U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC and any other entity under common control with U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc., that provides ongoing services to the funds. The only non-audit services provided to these entities which require pre-approval are those services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds.
Although the Committee is not required to pre-approve all services provided to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. and other affiliated service providers, the Committee will annually receive a report from the independent audit firm on the aggregate fees for all services provided to U.S. Bancorp and affiliates.
(e)(2) | 0.00% of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this item were approved by the Committee pursuant to the paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
(f) | All services performed on the engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end were performed by the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees. |
(g) | The aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, totaled $1,643,000 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 and $1,461,000 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. |
(h) | The registrant’s audit committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, that were not pre-approved is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence. |
Item 5—Audit Committee of Listed Registrants
Not applicable.
Item 6—Schedule of Investments
(a) | The schedule is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form. |
Item 7—Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies
Not applicable.
Item 8—Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies
Not applicable.
Item 9—Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers
Not applicable.
Item 10—Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s Board of Directors, where those changes were implemented after the registrant last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 407(c)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K (as required by Item 22(b)(15) of Schedule 14A, or this item.
Item 11—Controls and Procedures
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the registrant's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Company Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to the registrant's management, including its principal executive officer ("PEO") and principal financial officer ("PFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The registrant's management, including the PEO and PFO, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. |
| Subsequent to the original filing of the registrant's N-CSR for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2021, a material weakness in internal controls was identified regarding the over-issuance of authorized shares, which resulted in an overstatement in net assets reported in Government Obligations Fund's financial statements for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2021. Management previously concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2021, but due to the identification that the over-issued shares should be treated as a liability, it was determined that a material weakness existed in the effectiveness of internal controls related to the registrant's accounting for these over-issued shares. As a result, the registrant has since concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2021. |
| A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. |
| Following the identification and review of the matter described above, the registrant has enhanced the effectiveness of its controls and procedures related to the accounting for authorized shares. |
(b) | Changes in Internal Controls. Management did not make a final determination that the historical accounting was incorrect until January 2023. Consequently, the then-existing control system remained in place such that there were no changes in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Company Act) that occurred during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting. |
Item 12—Disclosure of Securities Lending Activities for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
Not applicable.
Item 13—Exhibits
(a)(1) | Not applicable. Registrant’s code of ethics is provided to any person upon request without charge. |
