EX-34.1 5 file5.htm REPORT OF IND. REG. PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


EXHIBIT 34.1

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Long Beach Acceptance Corporation

We have examined management's assertion included in the accompanying, Long Beach
Acceptance Corporation's Report on Assessment of Compliance with Servicing
Criteria, that Long Beach Acceptance Corporation (the "Company") complied with
the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 (d) of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Regulation AB for Long Beach Auto Receivables Trusts 2006-A and
2006-B (the "Platform") as of December 31, 2006 and for the period from May 16,
2006 to December 31, 2006, excluding criteria 1122 (d) (4) (ix) through 1122 (d)
(4) (xiii), which management has determined are not applicable to the activities
performed by the Company with respect to the Platform. Management is responsible
for the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance
with the servicing criteria based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as
adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and,
accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's
compliance with the applicable servicing criteria, including tests on a sample
basis of the servicing activities related to the Platform, determining whether
the Company performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing
criteria during the specified period and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures were limited to
selected servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered
by this report and, accordingly, such samples may not have included servicing
activities related to each asset-backed transaction included in the Platform.
Further, an examination is not designed to detect noncompliance arising from
errors that may have occurred prior to the period specified above that may have
affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during
the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal
determination on the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria.

As described in management's assertion, for servicing criteria 1122 (d) (2) (i),
the Company has engaged vendors to perform certain activities required by this
servicing criteria. The Company has determined that these vendors are not
considered a "servicer' as defined in Item 1101 (j) of Regulation AB, and the
Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the
servicing criteria applicable to these vendors as permitted by Interpretation
17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations ("Interpretation 17.06"). As permitted by
Interpretation 17.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and
procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that each vendor's
activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria
applicable to these vendors. The Company is solely responsible for determining
that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendors
and related criteria as described in its assertion, and we performed no
procedures with respect to the Company's determination of its eligibility to use
Interpretation 17.06.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2006, and for
the period from May 16, 2006 to December 31, 2006 for the Platform is fairly
stated, in all material respects.

are a "servicer" as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and we elect to
take responsibility for assessing compliance with the portion of the servicing
criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the
SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone
