(b) Not applicable to the Registrant.
Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, SSGA Funds (the “Trust,” “Fund Entity” or “Registrant”) has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the Registrant or a third party (the “Code”). That Code comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Registrant files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Registrant; (3) compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. For the period covered by the report, the Code was combined with other mutual funds advised by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”). The Registrant has not made any amendments to the Code that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition set forth in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR during the covered period. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the Code during the covered period. A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit 13(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Trust has the following “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR serving on its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”): Messrs. Richard D. Shirk and John R. Costantino and Ms. Donna M. Rapaccioli. Each of the “audit committee financial experts” is “independent” as that term is defined in Item 3(a)(2) of Form N-CSR.
An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) | Audit Fees |
For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, the aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), the Trust’s principal accountant, for the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements or services normally provided by E&Y in connection with the Trust’s statutory and regulatory filings and engagements were $65,688 and $62,605, respectively.
(b) | Audit-Related Fees |
For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, there were no fees for assurance and related services by E&Y reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Trust’s financial statements that were not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item.
(c) | Tax Fees |
For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, the aggregate tax fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for the review of year-end distribution requirements and a tax compliance matter (fiscal year 2022 only) were $5,062 and $35,987, respectively.
(d) | All Other Fees |
For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, there were no fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to the Trust, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c).
For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by E&Y for products and services provided by E&Y to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust that (i) relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust and (ii) were pre-approved by the Audit Committee were approximately $9,540,002 and $9,327,125, respectively.
(e)(1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures |
The Trust’s Audit Committee Charter states the following with respect to pre-approval procedures:
The Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers:
• | To pre-approve engagements by a Fund Entity’s independent auditor for non-audit services to be rendered to the Fund’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund; |
• | To establish, if deemed necessary or appropriate as an alternative to Audit Committee pre-approval of services to be provided by the independent auditor as required by paragraph (b) above, policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as by action of a designated member or members of the Audit Committee, subject to the requirement that the decision of any member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve an activity shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting; |
Alternate Pre-Approval Procedure:
