Exhibit 18

Insight Enterprises, Inc.

Tempe, Arizona
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2009, and have reported thereon under date of February 24,
2010. The aforementioned consolidated financial statements and our audit report thereon are
included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. As
stated in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for book
overdrafts from financing activities to operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash
flows and states that the newly adopted accounting policy is preferable in the circumstances
because the Companys book overdrafts, which are not directly linked to a credit facility or other
bank overdraft arrangement, do not result in an actual bank financing, but rather constitute normal
unpaid trade payables at the end of a reporting period. In accordance with your request, we have
reviewed and discussed with Company officials the circumstances and business judgment and planning
upon which the decision to make this change in the method of accounting was based.
With regard to the aforementioned accounting change, authoritative criteria have not been
established for evaluating the preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over another
acceptable method. However, for purposes of the Companys compliance with the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, we are furnishing this letter.
Based on our review and discussion, with reliance on managements business judgment and planning,
we concur that the newly adopted method of accounting is preferable in the Companys circumstances.
Very truly yours,
/s/ KPMG LLP
