REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
----------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors of Marshall Funds, Inc.:
We have examined management's assertion about Marshall Funds, Inc.'s (a
Wisconsin Corporation which includes Marshall Money Market Fund-Investment
Shares, Marshall Money Market Fund-Trust Shares, Marshall Government Income
Fund, Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund, Marshall Short-Term Income Fund, Marshall
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund, Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund, Marshall Mid-Cap
Growth Fund, Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund, Marshall Equity Income Fund,
Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, and Marshall International Stock Fund)
compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as of July 9, 1999 included in
the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain
Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Management is responsible for
Marshall Funds, Inc.'s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on management's assertion about Marshall Funds, Inc.'s
compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Marshall Funds, Inc.'s compliance
with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the
following tests performed as of July 9, 1999, and with respect to agreement of
security purchases and sales, for the period from August 31, 1998 (the date of
our last examination) through July 9, 1999:
[BULLET] Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of
Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company without prior notice to management;
[BULLET] Confirmation of all securities held by the institutions in book
entry form (Chase Manhattan Bank and Depository Trust Company);
[BULLET] Confirmation of all securities of Marshall International Stock Fund
with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian of the
Fund, and with BPI Global Asset Management, the investment sub-
advisor;
[BULLET] Confirmation of tax-exempt mutual funds owned by Marshall Funds,
Inc. with transfer agents;
[BULLET] Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of
Marshall Funds, Inc. and Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company;
[BULLET] Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers and
agreement of underlying collateral with Marshall & Ilsley Trust
Company; and
[BULLET] Agreement of five (5) security purchases and five (5) security
sales or maturities since our last report from the books and
records of Marshall Funds, Inc. to broker confirmations.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our examination does not provide a legal determination on Marshall Funds, Inc.'s
compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Marshall Funds, Inc. was in
compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as of July 9, 1999 with respect to securities
reflected in the investment account of Marshall Funds, Inc. is fairly stated,
in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management of
Marshall Funds, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not
be used for any other purpose.
