Edgar (US Regulatory)
Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
AllianceBernstein Global High Income Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Alliance Bernstein Global High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) as
of and for the year ended March 31, 2024, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we
considered the Fund’s 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-CEN, 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 fund’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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. A fund’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 fund; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a fund’s assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its 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 a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the Fund’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 PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund’s
internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls
over safeguarding securities that we consider to be a material weakness as
defined above as of March 31, 2024.
This report is intended solely for the information and
use of management and the Board of Directors of AllianceBernstein Global High
Income 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.
