Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Management of the Fund 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 company s 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 company s 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 company; (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 company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of 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 Company s annual or interim financial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our consideration of the Fund s internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted the following deficiency in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be a material weakness, as defined above. This condition was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the procedures performed in our audit of the financial statements of the Fund for the year ended March 31, 2023, and this report does not affect our report thereon dated June 9, 2023. We noted that Fund did not have controls in place to timely analyze and record its provision for income taxes. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of Wildermuth Fund. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. /s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC Whippany, New Jersey June 9, 2023 INTERNAL CONTROL RPT 3 correctiveaction.txt CORRECTIVE ACTION As noted in Item 11 of Registrant s Form N-CSR, the Fund s tax status changed from a regulated investment company under Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and is now taxed as a corporation. Accordingly, the Registrant had to engage an expert to calculate the Fund s 2022 tax provision, which took an extended period of time due to the complexities of the analysis. Now that the initial tax provision has been calculated, management has ensured that the tax provision will be calculated on a quarterly basis. Therefore, management does not expect that this issue will recur.
