REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
The Taiwan Fund, Inc.
Boston, Massachusetts

In planning and performing our audit of the financial 
statements of the Taiwan Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), as 
of and for the year ended August 31, 2017, in accordance 
with the standards of the Public Company 
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we 
considered their internal control over financial 
reporting, including control activities for 
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 Fund's 
internal control over financial reporting.   
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The management of the Fund 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 company'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 company'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 company; (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 company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and directors of the company; and 
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use or disposition of a company's 
assets that could have a material effect on 
the financial statements.

Because of 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control 
over financial reporting, such that there is a 
reasonable possibility that a material 
misstatement of the company's annual or interim 
financial statements will not be prevented or 
detected on a timely basis.



Our consideration of the Fund'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 Fund's 
internal control over financial reporting and its 
operation, including controls for safeguarding 
securities, which we consider to be 
material weaknesses, as defined above, 
as of August 31, 2017.

This report is intended solely for the information 
and use of management, Shareholders and Board of 
Directors of the Taiwan Fund, Inc. and the Securities 
and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to 
be and should not be used by anyone other than 
these specified parties.
