Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Accounting Control
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
AXP Global Series, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
AXP Global Balanced Fund, AXP Global Bond Fund, AXP Global Growth Fund,
AXP Emerging Markets Fund and AXP Innovations Fund (funds within AXP Global
Series, Inc.) for the period ended October 31, 1999, 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 the internal control.
The management of AXP Global Series, Inc. is responsible for establishing and
maintaining of 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, 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 one or more of the internal control components 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 and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined
above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Board of Directors of AXP Global Series, Inc., and the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not intended to be used and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.
