Report of Independent Public Accountants on Financial Statement Schedule

To ChoicePoint Inc.:

We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, the consolidated financial statements included in ChoicePoint
Inc.'s annual report to shareholders incorporated by reference in this Form
10-K, and have issued our report thereon dated February 16, 2001. We did not
audit the 1999 and 1998 consolidated financial statements of DBT Online, Inc.
and subsidiaries, a company acquired during 2000 in a transaction accounted for
as a pooling of interests as discussed in Note 2. Such statements are included
in the consolidated financial statements of ChoicePoint Inc. and reflect total
assets of 20% as of December 31, 1999 and total revenue of 15% and 13% for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1999 of the related
consolidated totals. These statements were audited by other auditors whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for DBT Online, Inc. and subsidiaries is based solely on the
report of the other auditors. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an
opinion on those statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index
is the responsibility of the company's management and is presented for purposes
of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part
of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.
