As requested, this letter also includes information on SIPC's progress in implementing SEC's recommendations from its January 2003 examination of SIPC and the status of excess SIPC coverage. Specifically, GAO'S objectives were to (1) determine the status of our recommendations to SEC and SIPC from our two previous reports on SIPC, (2) review recent actions SIPC has taken to address recommendations from the 2003 SEC examination report, and (3) determine the status of excess SIPC coverage after three U.S. insurers ceased offering the product. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-848R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-848R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-848R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-848R.pdf GAO-04-848R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-848R Correspondence GAO-04-848R; Follow-Up on GAO Recommendations Concerning the Securities Investor Protection Corporation; Insurance companies Investments Regulatory agencies Securities Securities regulation Information disclosure Internal controls Investment insurance
