The increased funding was designed to better position SEC to address serious issues identified in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and to better enable SEC to address numerous operational and human capital management challenges discussed in the GAO report entitled SEC Operations: Increased Workload Creates Challenges (GAO-02-302). To help ensure that SEC spends its budgetary resources in an efficient and effective manner, GAO was asked to review the SEC's efforts to address the issues raised in the 2002 report and to report on how SEC intends to utilize its new budgetary resources. GAO's final report on these matters is expected to be completed this Fall. This testimony provides requested information on the status of SEC's current spending plan and preliminary observations on SEC's strategic and human capital planning efforts. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-969T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-969T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-969T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-969T.pdf GAO-03-969T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-969T Testimony GAO-03-969T; Securities and Exchange Commission: Preliminary Observations on SEC's Spending and Strategic Planning; Compensation Evaluation criteria Evaluation methods Hiring policies Human resources utilization Management information systems Personnel recruiting Strategic information systems planning Strategic planning Employee retention Volume 113 Page 1338 113 Stat. 1338 Volume 116 Page 745 116 Stat. 745 Public Law 101-73 Public Law 106-102 Public Law 106-554 Public Law 107-123 Public Law 107-204
