The Trustees of The Sessions Group--Riverside
Capital Funds:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of The Sessions
Group--Riverside Capital Funds for the year ended June 30, 1996, we considered
its internal control, including procedures 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 The Sessions Group--Riverside Capital Funds 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 internal control policies and
procedures. Two of the objectives of internal control are to provide management
with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation
of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the
design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the 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 the
specific internal control elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that errors or irregularities 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 the internal control,
including procedures for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of June 30, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
