Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company:
We have examined management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management Assessment, that Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the Company) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for the Genworth Global Funding Trust 2005-A, except for servicing criteria 1(iii), 1(iv), 2(iii), 2(iv), 2(v), 2(vi), 4(iii), 4(vi), and 4(xv), which the Company has determined as being inapplicable to the activities it performs with respect to the asset-backed securities transactions being serviced, as of December 31, 2005 and for the period from December 21, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company complied with the aforementioned servicing criteria as of December 31, 2005 and for the period from December 21, 2005 through December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
