AUDIT LETTER
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Eaton Vance
Floating-Rate Income Trust:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income
Trust (the Trust) as of and for the year ended May
31, 2011, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), we considered the Trust'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 Trust's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.
The management of the Trust 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 trust'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 trust'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 trust; (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 trust are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of
management of the trust and trustees of the trust; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of a trust'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
a trust's annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Trust'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
that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted
no deficiencies in the Trust's internal control over
financial reporting and its operation, including
controls for safeguarding securities that we consider
to be a material weakness, as defined above, as of
May 31, 2011.
This report is intended solely for the information and
use of management and the Trustees of Eaton Vance
Floating-Rate Income Trust and the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
