TITLE VICE PRESIDENT
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Variable Annuity Account Committee
and Participants of Great-West Variable Annuity Account A:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the
Great-West Variable Annuity Account A ("Variable Annuity Account A") for the
year ended December-31, 1998, we considered its internal control, including
control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance on internal control.
The management of Variable Annuity Account A 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, misstatements due to error
or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of
internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance
with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our consideration of Variable Annuity Account A's internal control would not
necessarily disclose all matters in the 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 misstatements caused by error 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 Variable Annuity Account A's internal control and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to
be material weaknesses as defined above as of December-31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Variable Annuity Account Committee, and the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
