DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The Registrant carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by the report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant’s management, including the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely disclosure regarding required disclosure.
 
INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
The management of the Registrant is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Registrant’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Registrant; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Registrant; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on the Registrant’s financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
 
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report.
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, there were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15d-14(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
 
This evaluation excludes the March 13, 2006 acquisition of Gallery Gold Limited, and the November 8, 2006 acquisition of Cambior Inc. which collectively represents $1,775,973,000 of consolidated total assets and $95,884,000 of consolidated revenue of IAMGOLD Corporation in its Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
 
Stephen Freedhoff serves as a member of the audit committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has reviewed the definition of “audit committee financial expert” under item 8(a) of General Instruction B to Form 40-F and determined that Stephen Freedhoff satisfies the criteria for an audit committee financial expert under the Exchange Act. The SEC has indicated that the designation of Stephen Freedhoff as an audit committee financial expert does not make Stephen Freedhoff an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on Stephen Freedhoff that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and board of directors who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee.  
 
CODE OF ETHICS
 
The Registrant has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. A copy of Registrant’s code of business conduct and ethics is posted on the Registrant's web-site at www.iamgold.com.
