The management of The Alger Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate. Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2002. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of The Alger 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.

EX-99.77K 5 c26424_ex99-77k.txt EX-99.77K N-SAR ITEM 77K CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT On December 4, 2001, the Registrant selected Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as its independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2002. At a special meeting held on July 3, 2002, the Board of the Registrant, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Registrant, elected to terminate the appointment of Andersen in light of recent events involving that firm and selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Registrant's independent public accountant for such fiscal year. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Registrant's Audit Committee. Andersen's reports on the Registrant's financial statements for the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years prior to the fiscal year ending October 31, 2002 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and neither report was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During those fiscal years and the subsequent period preceding Andersen's dismissal, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and there were no reportable events of the kinds listed in Item 304, paragraph (a)(1)(v), of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Registrant has attempted to obtain from Andersen the letter contemplated by paragraph (a)(3) of Item 304 stating whether Andersen agrees with the statements made in the preceding paragraph and has been informed by Andersen that, effective July 1, 2002, it no longer provides such letters. Accordingly, pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of temporary Item 304T, no such letter is included in this filing.
