REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM



The Board of Directors and Shareholders
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, 2011, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we
considered the Funds 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
Funds 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
companys 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 companys 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 companys 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 Funds annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.






Our consideration of the Funds 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 Funds internal control over
financial reporting and its operation, including controls
over safeguarding securities that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of August 31, 2011.

This report is intended solely for the information and
use of management, the 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.
