Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Directors of iShares, Inc. and Shareholders
of
iShares Asia/Pacific Dividend ETF and iShares Emerging
Markets Dividend ETF
In planning and performing our audits of the financial
statements of the funds listed in Appendix A, (hereafter
referred to as the "Funds") as of and for the year ended
April 30, 2021, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), 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-
CEN, 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 Funds 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 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 PCAOB. 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 April 30, 2021.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
the Board of Directors of iShares, 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.
