                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Alexander & Alexander Services Inc.
and Participants in the Thrift Plan for
Employees of Alexander & Alexander
Services Inc. and Subsidiaries:

We have audited, by fund and in total, the accompanying Statements of Net
Assets Available for Plan Benefits of the Thrift Plan for Employees of
Alexander & Alexander Services Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Thrift Plan) as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related Statements of Changes in Net
Assets Available for Plan Benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Thrift Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, by fund and in
total, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits
of the Thrift Plan at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental
schedules of (1) assets held for investment purposes as of December 31,
1994, and (2) reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994,
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. 
These schedules are the responsibility of the Thrift Plan's management. 
Such supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 1994 financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to such financial statements taken as a whole.

                        THRIFT PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF
            ALEXANDER & ALEXANDER SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of  the Thrift Plan for Employees of  Alexander & 
Alexander Services Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Thrift Plan") are prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year 
presentation.

Investments
   Temporary investments are valued at cost which approximates fair market
value.  Other securities are valued at quoted market prices.  Securities
transactions are accounted for on the trade dates.  Guaranteed income
contracts are recorded at contract value.  Participant loans represent the
balance currently outstanding.

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
   Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are computed
using an adjusted cost basis as prescribed by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure.  The adjusted cost is
the fair value of the security at the beginning of the year, or cost if the
asset was acquired since that date.  Unrealized gains and losses on
securities held for investment are likewise computed on the basis of fair
value to adjusted cost.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General
   Under the Thrift Plan, eligible employees may contribute amounts from 1%
to 16% of current earnings, as defined, for investment in one or more of
the five investment funds described in Note 3.  In addition, employees may
make catch up contributions as provided under the terms of the Thrift Plan. 


   The Tax Saver Option available under Section 401 (k) of the Internal
Revenue Code permits participants to make contributions to the Thrift Plan
of up to 16% of their pre-tax earnings.  For 1994, the annual Tax Saver
contribution for an individual participant was limited to $9,240.  In
compliance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, earnings on Tax Saver
contributions made after December 31, 1988, cannot be withdrawn while the
participant is an employee of Alexander & Alexander Services Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company")  and the ability to withdraw any of a
participant's Tax Saver contributions and any amounts earned on those
contributions before January 1, 1989 is restricted in accordance with
applicable federal law.

    The employer contribution rate is 75% of the first 6% of each
participant's contribution.  Employer contributions vest generally 33 1/3%
after three years of participation and an additional 33 1/3% each year
thereafter until 100% vested.  That portion of a participant's employer
contributions, including earnings thereon, that are not fully vested at the
time the participant withdraws from the Thrift Plan are forfeited. 
Forfeitures are used to reduce future employer contributions to the Thrift
Plan.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - (Continued)

General - (Continued) 
   The overall limit on the combined sum of the participant's and
employer's contribution is the lesser of  25% of compensation or $30,000 
(subject to a cost of living adjustment for future years).  In addition,
the Internal Revenue Code limited the amount of salary on which an employee
may make contributions to $150,000 and $235,840 in 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Loan Provision
   Under the loan provisions of the Thrift Plan, each participant is
permitted one loan per year and the outstanding balance of all loans made
to a participant may not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested
portion of the participant's account.  Each loan bears interest at a rate
fixed by the administrator of the Thrift Plan in accordance with applicable
rules and regulations.  The rates in effect at December 31, 1994 and 1993
were 9.5% and 7.0%, respectively.

Other Information
   Administrative services were provided by the Company without cost to the
Thrift Plan.

   Employer contributions, which are initially invested solely in the Stock
Fund (see Note 3), may be in the form of cash or shares of the Company's
common stock.  Amounts due from the Company, representing the employer
matching contributions, net of available forfeitures, at December 31, 1993
were $935,165.  There were no employer matching contributions receivable at
December 31, 1994 as the Company made its required contribution to the
Thrift Plan prior to December 31, 1994.

   Beginning in 1993, participants who are fully vested may transfer up to
one-ninth of the employer contribution, including income thereon, credited
to their account after January 1, 1990, to any of the Thrift Plan
investment funds.
 
   Effective January 1, 1993, Thrift Plan participants may change the
investment mix of their contributions once each month rather than once each
quarter, as previously provided.  Also as of that date, transfers between
investment funds may be in 1% increments of the participant's account
balance, rather than the 25% increments previously required.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS

Investment Funds
   Participants may elect to have their contributions invested in one or
more of the following investment funds:

   Interest Income Fund - invests primarily in traditional and synthetic
guaranteed income contracts with insurance companies and other short term
investments. The weighted average interest rate for the fund's investment
was 7.29% as of December 31, 1994.

   The Dreyfus fund had a yield of 6.10% at December 31, 1994 and is due on
demand.  At December 31, 1994, the Plan held a 6.92%, due on demand, group 
annuity contract with Aetna Life Insurance Company. The group annuity contract
is invested in Aetna's Separate Account Number 362, an individually managed
separate account which invests primarily in U.S. government backed securities.
The Interest Income Fund also held the following guaranteed income contracts at
December 31, 1994: Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, 9.17%, due on 
demand, $21,081,848; Travelers Insurance Company, 9.65%, due March 31, 1995, 
$3,747,286; and Travelers Insurance Company, 9.21%, due April 1, 1995,  
$6,312,591.

   Equity Income Fund - invests primarily in the Fidelity Equity Income
Fund, a mutual fund. At December 31, 1994, the mutual fund invested
approximately 92% of its total assets in income-producing equity
securities, including common or preferred stock and debt securities
convertible into common stock. The balance of this mutual fund's
investments were in bonds and cash.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS - (Continued)
  
   Stock Fund - invests primarily in the Company's common stock purchased
in the open market or contributed by the Company.

   Equity Index Fund - invests primarily in the Fidelity Equity Index Fund,
a mutual fund.  The Fidelity Equity Index Fund invests primarily in the
common stock of companies comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 index.

   Equity Growth Fund - invests primarily in the Janus Fund, a mutual fund. 
The Janus Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks which
includes large well-established companies and smaller emerging growth
companies.  The Fund also invests in international equity securities which
comprised approximately 10% of the portfolio at December 31, 1994.

Loan Fund
   The Loan Fund consists of interest-earning loan balances due from
participants.  The Loan Fund does not accept participant contributions.

4. TAX STATUS

   The District Director of Internal Revenue in Baltimore, Maryland has
issued a letter of determination stating that the Thrift Plan qualifies
under Sections 401 (a) and (k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.  Since that letter was issued, the Thrift Plan was amended to
comply with changes in the law, primarily the Tax Reform Act of 1986.  The
Company filed a request in March 1995, within the period required by law,
to obtain a determination letter with respect to the Thrift Plan, as so
amended.  The Company believes that the Thrift Plan, as amended, continues
to qualify as a tax-exempt defined contribution plan and that, therefore,
investment income earned by the Thrift Plan is not subject to Federal
income taxes.

   An employee will not be subject to Federal income tax on employer
contributions when made or on the earnings of the employee's account when
earned.  Generally, an employee will be subject to Federal income tax on
distributions or withdrawals from employee accounts reduced by the portion
of such withdrawals considered to be the employee's contributions made with
after-tax earnings.

5.  PLAN TERMINATION

   Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Thrift Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time
and to terminate the Thrift Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  In the event of plan termination,
as defined under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
and regulations thereunder, participants will become 100 percent vested in
their accounts.
