Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of T. Rowe Price Blue
Chip Growth Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund, Inc. ("the Company") as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, 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-SAR,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
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 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
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 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 Company's 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 December 31, 2017.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price Blue Chip
Growth Fund, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and
is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.
