QUANTIFIED IC LETTER
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Quantified Funds and Board of
Trustees of Advisors Preferred Trust
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
Quantified Managed Income Fund, Quantified Market Leaders Fund,
Quantified Alternative Investment Fund, Quantified STF Fund,
Quantified Pattern Recognition Fund, Quantified Tactical Fixed Income
Fund Quantified Common Ground Fund, Quantified Tactical Sectors
Fund, Quantified Rising Dividend Tactical Fund, Quantified Government
Income Tactical Fund, and the consolidated financial statements of
Quantified Evolution Plus Fund (the Funds), each a series of Advisors
Preferred Trust, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021
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.
