Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of
Trustees
Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund:
In planning and performing our audit
of the financial statements of Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund (the
Fund), as of and for the year ended October 31, 2023, in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), we considered the Fund's 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 Fund's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.
Management of the Fund 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 in the United States of America, 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 the 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 Fund's
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 that might be material weaknesses under standards established by
the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's 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 October 31, 2023.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity
Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
