THE OAKMARK FUNDS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Harris
Associates Investment Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Harris Associates Investment Trust comprising The Oakmark Fund, The Oakmark Select Fund, The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, The Oakmark Global Fund, The Oakmark International Fund, and The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund (collectively, the"Funds"), as of September 30, 2005, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The Funds' financial highlights for the periods ended prior to September 30, 2002 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated October 26, 2001.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the Funds' custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2005, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
