                           INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Administrative Committee
AFLAC Incorporated 401(k) Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan 
benefits of the AFLAC Incorporated 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 
1995 and 1994, 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 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 available for plan benefits of the 
AFLAC Incorporated 401(k) Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 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 performed 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.

                      AFLAC INCORPORATED 401(k) PLAN

                       Notes to Financial Statements
                        December 31, 1995 and 1994


(1)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The AFLAC Incorporated 401(k) Plan (formerly AFLAC Incorporated 1990 
401(k) Retirement 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,
          1995 and 1994, the Company's matching contribution was 50% 
          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. 
          These forfeitures reduce the Company's matching contribution.

     (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 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 common trust 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.

                       Notes to Financial Statements


(3)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by 
a letter dated July 25, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are in 
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

     Participants in the Plan are not 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.


(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 available for plan benefits as 
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and changes in net assets available for plan 
benefits for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 by investment fund.
