Letter of Transmittal

July 2, 1965

My dear Mr. Chairman:

In accordance with Section 20(b) of the By-Laws of the Fund, I have the honor to submit for the consideration of the Board of Governors the audited financial statements of the International Monetary Fund, and the Staff Retirement Fund, for the year ended April 30, 1965, together with two memoranda from the Audit Committee, which include the audit certificates.

In conformity with the By-Laws, the external audit of the Fund has been performed by an Audit Committee consisting of auditors nominated by three member countries. At the Fund’s request, El Salvador, Thailand, and the United Kingdom nominated auditors to serve on this Committee. They respectively nominated Mr. Juan Samuel Quinteros, Superintendent, Superintendency of Banks and Other Financial Institutions, Central Bank of El Salvador; Mr. Panas Simasathien, Chief of Accounting and Fiscal Systems Division, Comptroller General’s Department, Ministry of Finance, Thailand; and Mr. Ronald William Tizard, Deputy Director of Audit, Exchequer and Audit Department, United Kingdom. The Auditors thus nominated were confirmed by the Executive Directors.

It will be noted that, in the period under review, ordinary income amounted to $47,749,062 and expenditure amounted to $22,204,292, resulting in a net income of $25,544,770, which has been transferred provisionally to General Reserve pending Board of Governors’ action. In addition, income of $30,750,435 from the Fund’s investment program has been transferred to the Special Reserve.

The detailed report of the Audit Committee is being submitted separately to the Board of Governors.

Yours sincerely,

/s/

To the Managing Director

and the Executive Directors

International Monetary Fund

The report of the Audit Committee, dated June 22, 1965, submitted through you to the Board of Governors, on the audit of the financial records and transactions of the Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1965, includes the following paragraphs relating to the scope of the audit conducted, and the audit certificate given:

Scope of the Audit

The Audit Committee, in the conduct of its audit, took cognizance of the requirements of Section 20(b) of the By-Laws that the audit be comprehensive with respect to the examination of the financial records of the Fund; that it extend, insofar as practicable, to the ascertainment that financial transactions consummated during the period under review were supported by the necessary authority; and that it determine that there was adequate and faithful accounting for the assets of the Fund. In determining the authority for financial transactions, reference was made to the Articles of Agreement, the By-Laws and Rules and Regulations of the Fund, the minutes of the Executive Board and the General Administrative Orders of the Fund. The Committee applied such tests to the accounting and other financial records as it considered necessary to provide a thorough review of the adequacy of the system of accounting and internal control operated by the Fund. In determining its program of test examination, due regard was paid to the work performed by the Internal Auditor, as reported by him to the Committee, and to the standard of his work performance as surveyed by the Committee.

Audit Certificate

We have made an independent examination of the Balance Sheet of the International Monetary Fund as at April 30, 1965, of the Statements of Income and Expenditure and of Reserves for the fiscal year then ended and of the schedules related to such financial statements. We have obtained from the officers and staff of the Fund all such information and representations as we have required in the conduct of our audit.

As the result of our examination, we report that, in our opinion, such Balance Sheet and related Statement of Income and Expenditure, together with the notes appearing thereon, present fairly the financial position of the International Monetary Fund as at April 30, 1965, and the results of its operations for the fiscal year then ended, and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of previous fiscal years.

Staff Retirement Fund Memorandum by the Audit Committee

June 22, 1965

To the Managing Director

and the Executive Directors International Monetary Fund

The report of the Audit Committee, dated June 22, 1965, submitted through you to the Board of Governors, on the audit of the financial records and transactions of the International Monetary Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1965, includes the following paragraphs relating to the scope of the audit conducted, the audit certificate given and the investments held with respect to the Staff Retirement Fund:

Scope of the Audit

The Audit Committee has examined the separate accounts and financial statements relating to the Staff Retirement Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1965. In the course of the examination, the Committee referred to the Articles of the Staff Retirement Plan and to the decisions of the Pension, Administration and Investment Committees created under the Plan. The Audit Committee made what it considered an adequate test check of the various classes of transactions, taking into account the audit coverage made by the Internal Auditor, as reported by him to the Committee. The report of the Internal Auditor, among other audit activities conducted by his staff, showed that a detailed examination had been made of the Participants’ Accounts.

Audit Certificate

As the result of our examination, we report that in our opinion the accompanying Balance Sheet, Statement of Source and Application of Funds, and the related Schedules of Participants’ Account, Accumulation Account, Retirement Reserve Account, and Reserve Against Investments present fairly the financial position of the Staff Retirement Fund as at April 30, 1965 and the results of its operations for the fiscal year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of previous fiscal years.

Investments

Two amendments of the General Rules on Investment were made by the Pension Committee during the fiscal year 1965. On March 22, 1965 the Pension Committee adopted the Investment Committee’s recommendation that the ceiling on corporate stocks held in the Staff Retirement Plan portfolio be raised from 35 per cent to 40 per cent of the original investment. And on April 12, 1965 the Pension Committee approved the bonds of the Inter-American Development Bank as securities eligible for investment.

A confirmation was received by the Audit Committee directly from the depository concerning the investments it held, as at April 30, 1965, as custodian for the Staff Retirement Fund of the International Monetary Fund. The Audit Committee confirmed that the holdings of the various classes of investments were within the limiting percentages prescribed by the Pension Committee, as follows:
