                           INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Administrative Committee
AFLAC Incorporated 401(k) Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the AFLAC
Incorporated 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the related statements of changes in net assets for the years then ended. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based upon 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets of the AFLAC Incorporated 401(k)
Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements of the AFLAC Incorporated 401(k) Plan taken as a
whole.  The supplementary information included in Schedules 1 and 2 is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is 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. 
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

         (formerly AFLAC Incorporated 1990 401(k) Retirement Plan)

                       Notes to Financial Statements
 
                         December 31, 1993 and 1992


(1)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The AFLAC Incorporated 401(k) Plan was approved by the Board of
Directors of AFLAC Incorporated (the Company) on November 10, 1992, and
became effective on January 1, 1993.  The Plan was formed as a result of
the merger of the AFLAC Incorporated 1991 401(k) Retirement Plan into the
AFLAC Incorporated 1990 401(k) Retirement Plan.  The Plan was established
for the benefit of the employees of AFLAC Incorporated and related
companies, American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (excluding
Japan Branch employees), American Family Life Assurance Company of New
York, AFLAC Broadcast Division, AFLAC International, Inc., and
Communicorp, Inc.

     The following description provides only general information. 
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.

     (a)  GENERAL.

          Eligible employees may voluntarily participate in the Plan upon
          completing one year of service and attaining the age of 21.  The
          Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement
          Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

          The Plan is administered by a plan administrator appointed by 
          the Company's Board of Directors.  All Plan expenses are paid 
          by the Company.

     (b)  CONTRIBUTIONS.

          Contributions to the Plan are made by both participants and the
          Company.  Participants may contribute through payroll deductions
          from 1% to 18%, subject to certain limitations, of their
          aggregate compensation.  The first 1% to 6% of participants'
          compensation contributed may be subject to a percentage matching
          contribution by the Company.  For the years ended December 31,
          1993 and 1992, the Company's matching contribution was 50% and
          25%, respectively, of the first 6% of participants'
          contributions.

     (c)  PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS.

          An account is maintained for each participant and is credited 
          with participant contributions and investment earnings/losses
          thereon.  Contributions may be invested in one or more of the
          investment funds available under the Plan at the direction of
          the participant.  A separate account is maintained with respect
          to each participant's interest in the Company's matching
          contributions.  Amounts in this account are apportioned and
          invested in the same manner as the participant's account.

                       Notes to Financial Statements

    (d)  VESTING.

          Participants are 100% vested in their contributions plus actual
          investment earnings/losses thereon.  Participants become vested
          in the Company's contribution upon completing five years of
          service.  Employees who became participants on or before
          September 29, 1990 are 100% vested in all Company contributions.

          A participant's interest in the Company's contributions is also
          vested upon termination either because of death or disability or
          after attaining his/her early retirement date or normal
          retirement age.  Participants forfeit the portion of their 
          interest which is not vested upon termination of employment.

     (e)  DISTRIBUTIONS.

          Participants may receive a distribution equal to the value of 
          their account upon death, disability, retirement, or termination
          of either the participant's employment or the Plan.  
          Distributions may only be made in the form of a lump-sum 
          payment and/or AFLAC Incorporated common stock.  

     (f)  AGREEMENTS WITH TRUSTEE.

          The assets of the Plan are held in a trust maintained by       
          Columbus Bank and Trust Company.

(2)  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

          The accompanying statements of net assets and changes in net
          assets have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

     (b)  INVESTMENTS.

          Investments, including those held in the master trust in 1992,
          are stated at fair value based upon quotations obtained from
          national security exchanges or the value as determined by the
          trustees of money market or mutual funds.  Securities
          transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the
          order to buy or sell is executed).  Realized gains and losses
          on sale of investments are calculated based on the difference
          between selling price and cost on an average cost basis.

          The Company established commingled investment funds under a
          master trust arrangement with Columbus Bank and Trust Company
          effective July 1, 1991 to hold the combined assets of the 1990
          Plan and the 1991 Plan.  The Plan's investment in the AFLAC
          Incorporated commingled 401(k) fund at December 31, 1992,
          represents the pro rata interest in the net assets of the 
          master trust.  Effective January 1, 1993, the 1991 Plan and
          1990 Plan were merged and such investments are now held directly
          by the Plan.

                       Notes to Financial Statements


(3)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     The Company has not filed an application for a tax determination
letter with the Internal Revenue Service.

     When filed, if a favorable ruling is obtained, participants in the
Plan will not be subject to Federal income taxes on their contributions,
on amounts contributed by the employer, or on earnings or appreciation of
investments held by the Plan until withdrawn by the participant or
distributed to the participant's named beneficiary in the event of death. 
The Company expects the plan will obtain a favorable tax determination
ruling.


(4)  PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has
the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of
ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100%
vested in their accounts.


(5)  INVESTMENT FUNDS

     The following schedules show net assets of the trust as of December
31, 1993 and 1992 and changes in net assets for the years ended December
31, 1993 and 1992 by investment fund.
