INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
General Motors Corporation,
its Directors, and Stockholders:
We have audited the Consolidated Balance Sheets of General Motors
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related
Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed at Item 14. These financial statements and the
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of General Motors Corporation and subsidiaries
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, effective January 1,
1995 the Corporation changed its method of accounting for sales to daily rental
car companies. Also, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements,
effective January 1, 1994 the Corporation changed its methods of accounting for
postemployment benefits and certain investments in debt and equity securities.
