GAO       United States
          General Accounting Office
          Washington, D.C. 20548

          Accounting and Information
          Management Division

          B-261436


          June 5, 1995



          The Honorable Ricki Helfer
          Chairman, Board of Directors
          Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

          Dear Madam Chairman:

          In March 1995, we issued our opinions on the calendar year
          1994 financial statements of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF),
          Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and FSLIC
          Resolution Fund (FRF). We also issued our opinion on the
          Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) management's
          assertions regarding its system of internal controls at
          December 31, 1994, and reported on FDIC's compliance with
          significant provisions of selected laws and regulations for
          the three funds for the year ended December 31, 1994
          (GAO/AIMD-95-102, March 31, 1995).

          In conducting our 1994 audit, we found that FDIC made
          progress in addressing some of the accounting procedure and
          internal control matters identified in our management letter
          from our 1993 audit (GAO/AIMD-94-160ML, August 29, 1994).
          The purpose of this letter is to report to you matters
          identified during our 1994 audit regarding accounting
          procedures and internal controls which could be improved.
          Some of these problems were first reported as a result of our
          1993 audit. These matters are not considered material in
          relation to the financial statements of the three funds,
          however, we believe they warrant management's attention. We
          have grouped these matters into the following broad issues:
          (1) receipts and disbursements (enclosure I),
          (2) reconciliations (enclosure II), (3) loan loss reserve
          system (enclosure III), (4) electronic data processing
          (enclosure IV), (5) policies and procedures (enclosure V),
          and (6) other (enclosure VI). The enclosures discuss these
          matters and include our suggestions for improvement. Also,
          one additional matter concerning data processing security is
          being communicated to you in separate correspondence because
          of its sensitive nature.
