The Board of Directors of
BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc.:

We have examined management of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV,
Inc.'s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement
Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, that BNY Mellon Tax Managed Growth Fund,
BNY Mellon Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund, and BNY Mellon
Bond Market Index Fund (collectively, the "October 31st Funds") and
BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund (the "August 31st Fund"),
(collectively with the October 31st Funds, the "Funds"), each a series of
BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc., complied with the requirements
of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the Act) (the specified requirements) as of August 31, 2022.
BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. management is responsible for its
assertion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assertion about the Funds' compliance with the specified requirements
based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation
standards established by the AICPA. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether management's assertion about compliance with the specified
requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination
involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether
management's assertion is fairly stated in all material respects. The
nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our
judgement, including an assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of management's assertion, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating
to the engagement.

Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of
August 31, 2022, and with respect to agreement of security purchases
and sales, for the period from May 31, 2022 (the date of the Funds' last
examination), through August 31, 2022:

1.	Confirmation with the Custodian of all securities held, hypothecated,
pledged or placed in escrow or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees, or
transfer agents;
2.	Obtained the Custodian reconciliation of security positions held by
institutions in book entry form (e.g., the Federal Reserve Bank, The
Depository Trust Company and various sub-custodians) to Custodian
records and verified that reconciling items were cleared in a timely
manner;

3.	Reconciliation of the Funds' securities per the books and records of the
Funds to those of the Custodian;

4.	Agreement of pending purchase and sale activity for the Funds as of
August 31, 2022, if any, to documentation of corresponding subsequent
bank statements;

5.	Agreement of five security purchases and five security sales or
maturities, since the date of the last examination, from the books and
records of each Fund to corresponding bank statements;

6.	Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with broker(s)/bank(s) and/or
agreement of corresponding subsequent cash receipts to bank
statements and agreement of underlying collateral with the Custodian
records, if any;

7.	Review of the BNY Mellon Asset Servicing Custody and Securities
Lending Services Service Organization Control Report ("SOC 1 Report")
for the period July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022 and noted no relevant
findings were reported in the areas of Asset Custody and Trade
Settlement.
Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds'
compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds complied with the
requirements of subsections (b) and
(c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of August
31, 2022, with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts
of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management
and The Board of Directors of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. and
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
