REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of FS Multi-
Alternative Income Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of FS Multi-Alternative Income Fund (the
Company) as of and for the period ended October 31, 2018, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered
the Company'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 opinion 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
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The management of the Company 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 company'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 company'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 company; (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 company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company'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 company's
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Company'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 Company'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 October 31, 2018.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of FS Multi-
Alternative Income Fund and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used
by anyone other than these specified parties.
