In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Putnam Multi Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) as of
and for the year ended June 30, 2014, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), we considered the Funds 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 SAR, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds
internal control over financial reporting.
The management of the Fund 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 funds 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
generally accepted accounting principles. A funds 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 fund;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and trustees of the fund; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
a funds 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
Funds annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Funds 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 over financial reporting
that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Funds internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls over safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above
as of June 30, 2014.
