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 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 May 31, 2025. BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV,
Inc.s management is responsible for its assertion. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on managements 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 American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
managements assertion about compliance with the specified
requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination
involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether
managements assertion is fairly stated, in all material respects. The
nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our
judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of managements 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 May 31, 2025, and with respect to agreement of security
purchases and sales or maturities, for the period from February 28,
2025 (the date of the Funds last examination), through May 31,
2025:

1.	Count and inspection of all securities (if any) located in the vault of The
Bank of New York Mellon Corporation in 570 Washington Blvd, Jersey
City, NJ 07310;

2.	Confirmation with the Custodian of all securities held, hypothecated,
pledged or placed in escrow or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees,
or transfer agents, if any;

3.	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;

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

5.	Agreement of pending purchase and sale activity for the
Funds as of May 31, 2025 if any, to documentation of
corresponding subsequent bank statements;

6.	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;

7.	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;

8.	Review of the BNY Asset Servicing Custody and Securities Lending
Services Service Organization Control Report (SOC 1 Report) for the
period April 1, 2024 March 31, 2025 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
May 31, 2025, with respect to securities reflected in the investment
accounts of the Funds are fairly stated, in all material respects.
