REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees
of the Marquis Funds:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the
Marquis Funds for the year ended September 30, 1996, we considered
its internal control structure, 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 the internal
control structure.
The management of the Marquis Funds is responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure
policies and procedures.
Two of the objectives of an internal control structure 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 structure, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure 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 structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure 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 structure 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 structure,
including procedures for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of September 30, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Board of Trustees and the Securities and Exchange Commission and
should not be used for any other purpose.
