REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of Strong Equity Funds, Inc.
and the Shareholders of Strong Dow 30 Value Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements and financial
highlights of Strong Dow 30 Value Fund (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios
constituting Strong Equity 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 internal control.
The management of the Fund 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 accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error 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 controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of their 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 internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that misstatements caused by error 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 over safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
December 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
Directors of the Fund, management and the Securities and Exchange Commission and
is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
