ACCOUNTANTS LETTER ON INTERNAL CONTROL
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Templeton China World Fund:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Templeton China World Fund ("the Fund") as of and for the
year ended August 31, 2015, in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
we considered the Fund'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 Fund's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's 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 Fund'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 fund'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 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 fund'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 Fund's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Fund'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 Fund'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 August 31, 2015.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of Templeton China World
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.
