Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard California Tax-Free Funds and
Shareholders of
Vanguard California Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
Vanguard California Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund and
Vanguard California Municipal Money Market Fund
In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of
Vanguard California Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, Vanguard
California Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund and Vanguard California
Municipal Money Market Fund (constituting Vanguard California Tax-
Free Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of
and for the year ended November 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 do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over
financial reporting.
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 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. 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 generally accepted
accounting principles, 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 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 a 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 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
over financial reporting 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 November
30, 2021.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board
of Trustees of Vanguard California Tax-Free 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.
