Report of Independent Accountants 

To theBoard of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I  

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that the investment account of each fund listed in Appendix A (the “Funds”), each a separate series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I, that is sub-advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the Act”) (the “specified requirements”) as of November 4, 2024. The Funds’ management is responsible for its assertion and the Funds’ compliance with the specified requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Funds’ compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.  

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion about compliance with the specified requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether management’s assertion is fairly stated in all material respects. The nature, timing and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of management’s assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.    

Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of November 4, 2024, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales or maturities, for the period from the Funds’ previous examination date (as detailed in Appendix A) through November 4, 2024:  

- Confirmation of all securities of the J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. sub-advised investment accounts of the Funds held by the Depository Trust Company (the “depository”) in book entry form and agreement of security totals to the reconciliation procedures performed by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) at an omnibus level between the depository and the books and records of the Custodian;  

- Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. sub-advised investment accounts of the Funds and the Custodian; and  

- Agreement of 3 security purchases and 3security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. sub-advised investment accounts of the Funds to broker confirmations or, where broker replies were not received, the application of alternative procedures.  

Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds’ compliance with the specified requirements.  

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements related to the engagement.  

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds listed in Appendix A complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of November 4, 2024 with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds which are sub-advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. is fairly stated, in all material respects.  

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
