Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
EquiTrust Money Market Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of EquiTrust
Money Market Fund, Inc. for the year ended July 31, 2000, we considered its
internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in
order to determining our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of
Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on internal control.
The management of EquiTrust Money Market Fund, Inc. is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess
the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that
are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing
financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls
include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use
or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may occur
and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control
to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all
matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or
more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that errors or fraud in amounts that would be material in
relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be
detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving
internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above at
July 31, 2000.
The report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
Directors and management of EquiTrust Money Market Fund, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
