Collecting fines ordered for violations of securities and futures laws helps ensure that violators are held accountable for their offenses and may also deter future violations. The requesters asked GAO to evaluate the actions the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have taken to address earlier recommendations for improving their collection programs. The committees also asked GAO to update the fines collection rates from previous reports. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-795/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-795.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-795/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-795.pdf GAO-03-795 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-795 Other Written Product GAO-03-795; SEC and CFTC Fines Follow-Up: Collection Programs Are Improving, but Further Steps Are Warranted; Collection procedures Electronic government Federal legislation Fines (penalties) Internal controls Law enforcement Program evaluation Program management Sanctions Strategic planning SEC Disgorgement Payment Tracking System Treasury Offset Program Title 11 Section 523 11 U.S.C. 523
