CENTERSTONE IC LETTER
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Centerstone Investors Fund,
Centerstone International Fund, and The Teberg Fund
and Board of Trustees of Northern Lights Fund Trust III
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Northern Lights Fund Trust III comprising
Centerstone Investors Fund, Centerstone International
Fund, and The Teberg Fund (the Funds) as of and for
the year ended March 31, 2024, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the
Funds internal control over financial reporting, including
controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and
to comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, 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.
The management of the Funds is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required
to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
controls. A funds internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). A funds internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of
the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with
GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund
are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and trustees of the fund; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of a funds assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting
exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course
of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or
detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of
the Funds annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Funds internal control over
financial reporting was for the limited purpose described
in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose
all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB.
However, we noted no deficiencies in the Funds internal
control over financial reporting and its operation,
including controls over safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be a material weakness as defined above as
of March 31, 2024.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of management and the Board of Trustees of the Funds
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.
