Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Dreyfus International Funds, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Dreyfus
International Funds, Inc (comprised of Dreyfus Emerging Markets Fund and
Dreyfus International Growth Fund) for the year ended May 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, and not to provide
assurance on the internal control.
The management of Dreyfus International Funds, Inc. 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 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 fraud 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 internal control would not necessarily disclose all
matters in 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 specific internal control components does
not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or fraud
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 internal control and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be material weaknesses as defined above at May 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of
directors and management of Dreyfus International Funds, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not
be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
