                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors of
    First American Funds Inc.:


We have examined management's assertion included in its representation letter
that Prime Obligations Fund, Government Obligations Fund, and Treasury
Obligations Fund of First American Funds, Inc. (the Funds) complied with the
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as of September 30, 1997. Management is responsible for the
Funds' compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on management's assertion about the Funds' compliance based on our
examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds' compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests
performed as of September 30, 1997, and with respect to agreement of security
purchases and sales, for the period from February 28, 1997 (the date of our last
examination) through September 30, 1997:

     *    Count and inspection of underlying documentation of all securities
          designated as being held in the vault of First Trust National
          Association, the Custodian;

     *    Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form
          (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Bankers Trust Company, and The
          Depository Trust Company), examination of selected security position
          reconciliations, and confirmation of other securities with the issuers
          (Barclays Bank PLC, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Commonwealth Life
          Insurance Company);

     *    Confirmation of repurchase agreements with counterparty banks and
          broker-dealers;

     *    Confirmation or examination of underlying documentation, on a test
          basis, for securities purchased but not received, securities on loan,
          hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with
          broker-dealers and/or transfer agents;

     *    Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the
          Funds and the Custodian; and

     *    Test of security transactions since our last report.

<PAGE>


We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds' compliance with
the specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds were in compliance with
the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as of September 30, 1997 with respect to securities
reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in all
material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management of
First American Funds, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and should
not be used for any other purpose.
