Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Accounting Control
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
IAI Retirement Funds, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of IAI
Regional Portfolio, IAI Balanced Portfolio, and IAI Reserve Portfolio
(separate portfolios within IAI Retirement Funds, Inc.) for the year ended
December 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 IAI Retirement 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
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
material weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Board of Directors, 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.
