Performance Summary August 31, 2004


Classes A, B, C and R

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance.

The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.75%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is 4% within the first year after purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Class C shares have no adjustment for front-end sales charges but redemptions within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1%. Unadjusted returns do not reflect sales charges and would have been lower if they had. Class R shares are not subject to sales charges.

Returns and rankings for all periods shown for reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns and rankings would have been lower.

Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns and rankings may differ by share class.

Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares prior to June 18, 2001 and Class R shares prior to November 3, 2003 are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of the Scudder Global Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of each specific class. Any difference in expenses will affect performance.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses


As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, Class A, B, C, R and AARP shares limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended August 31, 2004.

The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

In the following interview, Co-Lead Portfolio Managers Steve Wreford and Oliver Kratz discuss Scudder Global Fund's strategy and the market environment during the 12-month period ended August 31, 2004.

Q: How did the global equity markets perform during the 12-month period ended August 31, 2004?

A: The global stock markets produced strong performance during the past 12 months. The year began on a favorable note, as the first four months of the reporting period (September-December 2003) were characterized by robust economic growth worldwide, continued positive trends in the two key drivers of the world economy (China and the United States), impressive corporate earnings results and a high level of investor enthusiasm. During this time, the more aggressive investment areas - such as smaller companies, technology stocks and the emerging markets - generally produced the best results. In addition, rising commodities prices led to strong returns for stocks in the basic materials and emerging-market areas.1

1 The basic materials sector consists of companies that manufacture items such as metals, chemicals and paper.

Although the momentum of 2003 carried into the first two weeks of this year, the market environment grew more challenging by mid-January. First, the economic backdrop gradually became less favorable. In China, the government took steps to curb the country's white-hot growth, while in the United States, the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates. Corporate earnings remained strong, but investors became more cautious due to the notion that profit growth had peaked and was poised to slow. External factors also played a part, as the markets had to contend with the March terrorist attack in Spain, concerns about the possibility of additional terrorist attacks against the United States, and a sharp increase in the price of crude oil. In combination, these issues have helped suppress global market returns year-to-date in 2004. Fortunately, the strong market performance during the first four months of the reporting period offset the subsequent weakness, allowing the global markets to finish the fund's reporting period in positive territory.

Q: How did the fund perform in relation to its benchmark?

A: For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2004, the fund's Class A shares delivered a total return of 12.99%. (Return is unadjusted for maximum sales charges. If sales charges had been included, return would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please see pages 3 through 6 for the performance of other share classes.) This was below the 15.61% return of the fund's unmanaged benchmark, the MSCI World Index.2

2 The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted measure of global stock markets, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and the Far East.

Q: How do you describe your approach to global investing?

A: We strive to determine the investment themes that will dominate the global economy in the years ahead, and then we seek to identify well-managed, fundamentally sound companies that stand to benefit as these themes play out. The goal of this approach is to take advantage of multiyear trends that we believe will transcend the short-term fluctuations of the global equity markets. As a result, our performance as managers is best judged over a longer-term time period.

Our investment process is not based on forecasting the direction of the markets or the economic cycle. Consequently, we have attempted to position the portfolio for the long term and design it to be "cycle-neutral," which means that we have not attempted to gear it for either an acceleration or a slowdown in the global economy. The primary reason for this is that we do not believe we have a specific and sustainable information advantage over the market with respect to economic forecasting. In addition, we believe that by aiming to invest with a three- to five-year time horizon, we are capturing the majority of any upside in a typical economic cycle. We therefore use economic data primarily to assess the viability of both existing and potential portfolio themes.

It is also important to note that we view the world as one increasingly integrated global market, and we analyze it as a single investable entity. Therefore, we do not consider the country weightings in the benchmark when making investment decisions. An example is Russia: we believe the country is in a strong position within the global economy due to its wealth of natural resources, relative to the increasing resource scarcity in the rest of the world. Russia is not included in the benchmark, yet it makes up more than 3.5% of the fund. As a result, the fund was positioned to benefit from the double-digit return of Russia's market during the reporting period, and this would not have been the case if we had been focusing on the fund's country weightings relative to the benchmark.

Q: How is your approach reflected in your investment themes?

A: There are currently 10 themes at work in the portfolio. We will talk about each in turn.

Fund Assets by Theme, as of August 31, 2004


Ultimate Subcontractors
20.3%
Supply Chain Dominance
19.7%
New Annuities

Virtuality

* This theme currently has no holdings, but it has not been eliminated from the portfolio.

Disequilibria: This new theme aims to identify industries that are experiencing, or that are about to experience, a material shift in the competitive environment and then analyzes the strategies of individual corporations within those industries. We do not aim to profit by identifying the most obvious beneficiaries of these shifts. Instead, we look for firms that are disadvantageously positioned at present but that are taking meaningful steps to improve their positions. In other words, we are looking for companies whose stock prices indicate that their business is destined to atrophy, when in fact the companies have acknowledged the need for an active response, have selected a course for change and in our view are capable of successful implementation. We believe the stock prices of such companies can have significant upside.

The top three holdings under this theme are Allianz AG (Germany), Commerzbank AG (Germany) and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Sweden). In total, Disequilibria was a detractor from fund returns following its introduction at the beginning of the second calendar quarter.

Ultimate Subcontractors: This theme, which has been in the fund for many years, produced exceptional returns during the fiscal year and was by far the most significant contributor to the fund's relative performance. The thinking behind Ultimate Subcontractors is that companies in commoditized industries - those in which price is the primary basis for competition, such as the mining and energy sectors - must be able to reduce costs in order to increase earnings. As a result, the largest companies - those in the best position to cut costs - are the ones most likely to emerge as the long-term survivors. In this area, we focus on corporations with the best industry positions and the strongest financial characteristics. Top performers in this area included the Russian oil companies OAO Gazprom and LUKOIL, larger energy producers such as Total SA (France) and Conoco Phillips (US), smaller drillers such as Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (US) and Devon Energy Corp. (US), and mining companies including GMK Norilsk Nickel (Russia) and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Brazil).

Supply Chain Dominance: As its name would suggest, this theme invests in companies that we believe hold dominant positions within their respective supply chains. We do not simply emphasize companies with dominant market shares today. Instead, we look for companies that we believe will wield supply chain power in the future. A company that illustrates this theme is the construction/mining equipment firm Caterpillar, Inc. (US). The company has a competitive advantage that stems from its vast and loyal dealer network, its economies of scale in engineering and manufacturing, and its premium reputation.3

3 Economies of scale represent a company's ability to lower costs by virtue of its size and purchasing power.

While the Supply Chain Dominance theme is diversified among a wide range of industries, it contains numerous stocks in the technology sector. As a consequence, the poor performance of tech stocks during the second half of the period resulted in this theme's being the most significant detractor from performance among all 10 for the full year.

New Annuities: Here, we look for companies with assets that can generate predictable returns over the long term. This theme was the second-largest contributor to performance behind Ultimate Subcontractors. Top individual contributors included E.ON AG (Germany), National Grid Transco PLC (UK) and Canadian National Railway Co. (Canada)

Virtuality: A "virtual company" is one that focuses on the aspect of its business in which it can add the most value and outsources elements of its business in which it adds the least amount of value. Since companies in this category tend to own fewer "hard assets," they have the potential to benefit from a relatively low cost structure. The majority of the companies held under this theme are large-cap health care stocks, such as Pfizer, Inc. (US) and Amgen, Inc. (US). We favor this sector since the most important assets of many health care companies are their patents, which they can use as cash cows for many years. Virtuality also includes companies whose primary assets are intellectual property, such as Viacom, Inc. (US) and Grupo Televisa SA de CV (Mexico).

Japan Restructuring: Here, we focus on Japanese companies that are taking steps to streamline their operations, reduce debt and become more responsive to shareholder needs. Given the strong performance of the Japanese market overall - and financial and real estate companies in particular (sectors in which restructuring is prevalent) - this portfolio theme worked well for the fund. An example of a Japanese bank that outperformed during the period is Mizuho Financial Group, Inc., which accepted the pain of negatively repricing the bad loans in its portfolio. Once investors were better able to assess the company's financials, they were willing to pay higher prices for its shares.

Greater China: The China growth story has been playing out in the markets for several years now, and it has led to strong performance for many companies. However, during the second half of the period, China-related stocks performed poorly as investors became wary of the country's steps to slow economic growth to cool the threat of inflation. While we believe a slowdown is inevitable given China's phenomenal growth rate, it is important to note that the government is targeting only specific industries - steel, aluminum, cement and property - and not the entire economy. We therefore believe China's demand for resources, energy and consumer products continues to represent a long-term opportunity for investors. In addition, we believe the combination of rapid population growth and mass migration from rural to urban areas will result in the emergence of a new middle class over the next 10 to 15 years.

The portfolio continues to hold securities that stand to benefit from these trends. Some are located in China - such as China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., Denway Motors Ltd. and China Mobile Ltd. - while others are non-Chinese companies that should benefit from rising consumer demand and its resulting effects on the regional economy. These include Bangkok Bank Public Co., Ltd. F/R (Thailand), Kookmin Bank and LG Electronics, Inc. (Korea) and Quanta Computer, Inc. (Taiwan). The Greater China theme was a top contributor in the first half of the period but was a detractor in the second half.

Diversification Assets: This theme, the smallest in the portfolio, encompasses six gold mining stocks. We believe this theme is important from the standpoint of risk management, since gold stocks tend to have a low correlation with the global markets. In addition, gold stocks can perform well on occasions when other areas of the market may suffer, such as times of rising inflation or a declining dollar.4 The largest position under this theme is Gold Fields Ltd. of South Africa. Overall, Diversification Assets provided a positive contribution during the period, with the best results in the first half of the fiscal year.

4 Gold prices tend to rise when the dollar is falling since gold is priced in dollars and a weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for consumers and investors worldwide. In a general sense, gold stocks tend to track the performance of the metal.

Q: Do you have any closing thoughts to share with investors?

A: The environment for the global equity markets remains challenging. On one hand, the global economy continues to grow, and corporate earnings continue to rise (albeit at a slower pace than last year). On the other hand, both government and consumer debt remain high worldwide, the US budget and trade deficits are increasing, and oil prices, terrorism and geopolitical concerns continue to weigh on investors' minds.

In this environment, we believe it is essential to maintain a highly diversified portfolio that can withstand the emergence of a variety of scenarios - both positive and negative - in the global markets. We believe that at a time of continued uncertainty and significant short-term noise in the markets, our emphasis on longer-term trends will help the fund deliver steady returns.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The managers' views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Global Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Global/International Fund, Inc. (the "Corporation") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Maryland Corporation.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class B shares are offered without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance. Class C shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Prior to March 1, 2004, Class C shares were offered with an initial sales charge. Class C shares do not convert into another class. On November 3, 2003, the Fund commenced offering Class R shares which are only available to participants in certain retirement plans and are offered to investors without an initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Shares of Class AARP are designed for members of AARP. Class S shares of the Fund are generally not available to new investors. Class AARP and S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as services to shareholders, distribution service fees, administrative fees and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.

Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Directors of the Fund. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from a broker-dealer. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investments companies and Scudder Cash Management QP Trust are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Directors. The Fund may use a fair valuation model to value international equity securities in order to adjust for events which may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the close of the New York Stock Exchange.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings and to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. Sales and purchases of forward currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain (loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the difference between the value of a forward currency contract to buy and a forward currency contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movement during the term of the contract.

Securities Lending. The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions. The Fund retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at all times not less than 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund may invest the cash collateral in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan. The Fund is subject to all investment risks associated with the value of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

Gains realized upon disposition of Indian securities held by the Fund are subject to capital gains tax in India, payable prior to repatriation of sale proceeds. The tax is computed on net realized gains; any realized losses in excess of gains may be carried forward eight years to offset future gains. In addition, the Fund accrues a deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains in excess of available carryforwards on Indian securities. Taiwan stock dividends received (except those which have resulted from capitalization of capital surplus) are taxable at 20% of the par value of the stock dividends received. The Fund is subject to a 0.38% Contribuicao Provisoria sobre Movimentacao Financiera ("CPMF") tax which is applied to foreign exchange transactions representing capital inflows or outflows to the Brazilian market.

At August 31, 2004, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $100,724,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until August 31, 2011 (the expiration date), whichever occurs first.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made annually. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to investments in foreign denominated investments, forward currency contracts, recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) and certain securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

At August 31, 2004, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ 2,855,814
Undistributed net long-term capital gains
$ -
Capital loss carryforwards
$ (100,724,000)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
$ 62,558,295

In addition, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund are summarized as follows:

Years Ended August 31,

2004

2003

Distributions from ordinary income*
$ 11,967,036 $ 8,616,170

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

Expenses. Expenses of the Corporation arising in connection with a specific fund are allocated to that fund. Other Corporation expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the funds in the Corporation.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset valuation calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign withholding taxes. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended August 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $693,194,961 and $808,412,067, respectively.

C. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The management fee payable under the Management Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 1% of the first $500,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.95% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.90% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.85% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets and 0.80% of such net assets in excess of $2,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the year ended August 31, 2004, the fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.98% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

For the year ended August 31, 2004, the Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Fund $4,647 for expenses.

Administrative Fee. Under the Administrative Agreement, the Advisor provided or paid others to provide substantially all of the administrative services required by the Fund (other than those provided by the Advisor under its Management Agreement with the Fund, as described above) such as transfer agent, custody, legal and audit, in exchange for the payment by each class of the Fund of an administrative services fee (the "Administrative Fee") of 0.475%, 0.496%, 0.485%, 0.47% and 0.47% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B, C, AARP and S shares, respectively, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.

The Administrative Agreement between the Advisor and the Fund terminated March 31, 2004 and effective April 1, 2004, the Fund directly bears the cost of those expenses formerly covered under the Administrative Agreement.

Effective October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2005, the Advisor has agreed to contractually waive a portion of its Administrative Fee (through March 31, 2004), or all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of each class at 1.455%, 1.475%, 1.465%, 1.445% and 1.445% of average daily net assets for Class A, B, C, AARP and S shares, respectively (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest, Rule 12b-1 and/or service fees, director and director counsel fees and organizational and offering expenses). For Class R shares, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses at 1.955% of average daily net assets, excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, and director and director counsel fees.

For the year ended August 31, 2004, the CDSC for Class B and C shares aggregated $46,881 and $179, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares. For the year ended August 31, 2004, SDI received $4,778.

Directors' Fees and Expenses. The Fund pays each Director not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

Scudder Cash Management QP Trust. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in the Scudder Cash Management QP Trust (the "QP Trust") and other affiliated funds managed by the Advisor. The QP Trust seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The QP Trust does not pay the Advisor a management fee for the affiliated funds' investments in the QP Trust.

Other Related Parties. AARP through its affiliate, AARP Services, Inc., monitors and oversees the AARP Investment Program from Scudder Investments, but does not act as an investment advisor or recommend specific mutual funds. DeIM has agreed to pay a fee to AARP and/or its affiliates in return for the use of the AARP trademark and services relating to investments by AARP members in AARP Class shares of the Fund. This fee is calculated on a daily basis as a percentage of the combined net assets of the AARP classes of all funds managed by DeIM. The fee rates, which decrease as the aggregate net assets of the AARP classes become larger, are as follows: 0.07% for the first $6 billion of net assets, 0.06% for the next $10 billion of such net assets and 0.05% of such net assets thereafter. These amounts are used for the general purposes of AARP and its members.

D. Line of Credit

The Fund and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

F. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including Scudder Investments. It is not possible to determine what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the Scudder funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain Scudder funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each Scudder fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable Scudder funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. Based on currently available information, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a Scudder fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors of Global/International Fund, Inc. and the Shareholders of Scudder Global Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Scudder Global Fund (the "Fund") at August 31, 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period,  August 31, 2004,  Global/International  Fund. Inc.
has adopted a code of ethics,  as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR,  that applies
to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.

There have been no amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of
ethics during the period covered by this report that would require disclosure
under Item 2.

A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.


ITEM 3.         AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Funds' audit committee is comprised solely of trustees who are "independent"
(as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the
"Regulations")). The Funds' Board of Trustees has determined that there are
several "audit committee financial experts" serving on the Funds' audit
committee. The Board has determined that Louis E. Levy, the chair of the Funds'
audit committee, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" (as such
term has been defined by the Regulations) based on its review of Mr. Levy's
pertinent experience and education. The SEC has stated that the designation or
identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to
this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations
or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed
on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the
absence of such designation or identification. In accordance with New York Stock
Exchange requirements, the Board believes that all members of the Funds' audit
committee are financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the
Board in its business judgment, and that at least one member of the audit
committee has accounting or related financial management expertise.

ITEM 4.         PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services

The following table shows the amount of fees that PWC billed during the Fund's
last two fiscal years for non-audit services. For engagements entered into on or
after May 6, 2003, the Audit Committee pre-approved all non-audit services that
PWC provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider that
related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting. The Audit
Committee requested and received information from PWC about any non-audit
services that PWC rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to the Adviser and
any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information
in evaluating PWC's independence.

ITEM 10.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) The Chief Executive and Financial Officers concluded that the Registrant's
Disclosure Controls and Procedures are effective based on the evaluation of the
Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing
date of this report.

Fund management has previously identified a significant deficiency relating to
the overall fund expense payment and accrual process. This matter relates
primarily to a bill payment processing issue. There was no material impact to
shareholders, fund net asset value, fund performance or the accuracy of any
fund's financial statements. Fund management discussed this matter with the
Registrant's Audit Committee and auditors, instituted additional procedures to
enhance its internal controls and will continue to develop additional controls
and redesign work flow to strengthen the overall control environment associated
with the processing and recording of fund expenses.

(b) There have been no changes in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's last half-year (the
registrant's second fiscal half-year in the case of the annual report) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
registrant's internal controls over financial reporting.
