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, 2022, 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, 2022.
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.
