ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective May 27, 1997, A I M Management Group Inc. (the "Company")
appointed Arthur Andersen LLP to replace KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG"), which
served as the Company's independent auditors until May 27, 1997. Arthur
Andersen LLP also serves as the independent auditors for AMVESCAP PLC
("AMVESCAP"), the Company's parent. The decision to change auditors was
recommended by the audit committee of the Board of Directors of AMVESCAP and
was approved by the Company's board of directors. The reason for the change in
independent auditors was the desire that the Company use the same independent
auditors as AMVESCAP.
KPMG's reports on the Company's financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles. During the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997, there were no
disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KMPG, would have caused
it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection
with its reports.
