Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of AB
Corporate Income Shares, AB Taxable Multi-Sector
Income Shares, AB Municipal Income Shares, and
AB Impact Municipal Income Shares:
In planning and performing our audits of the
financial statements of AB Corporate Income
Shares, AB Taxable Multi-Sector Income Shares,
AB Municipal Income Shares and AB Impact
Municipal Income Shares (four of the series
constituting the AB Corporate Shares (the "Trust")),
as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019, in
accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), we considered the Trust's internal control
over financial reporting, including controls over
safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinions on the financial statements and to
comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.
The management of the Trust is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A trust's
internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. A trust's internal
control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the trust; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the trust are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the trust; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a
trust's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial
reporting exists when the design or operation of a
control does not allow management or employees,
in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a
timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or
a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the trust's annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Trust's internal control
over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph and would not
necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal
control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
However, we noted no deficiencies in the Trust's
internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls over safeguarding
securities that we consider to be a material
weakness as defined above as of April 30, 2019.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management and the Board of Trustees
of AB Corporate Shares and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
