Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of July 9, 1999, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from August 31, 1998 (the date of our last examination) through July 9, 1999: [BULLET] Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company without prior notice to management; [BULLET] Confirmation of all securities held by the institutions in book entry form (Chase Manhattan Bank and Depository Trust Company); [BULLET] Confirmation of all securities of Marshall International Stock Fund with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian of the Fund, and with BPI Global Asset Management, the investment sub- advisor; [BULLET] Confirmation of tax-exempt mutual funds owned by Marshall Funds, Inc. with transfer agents; [BULLET] Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of Marshall Funds, Inc. and Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company; [BULLET] Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers and agreement of underlying collateral with Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company; and [BULLET] Agreement of five (5) security purchases and five (5) security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of Marshall Funds, Inc. to broker confirmations.
