To the Board of Trustees of
SEI Daily Income Trust:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of SEI
Daily Income Trust for the year ended January 31, 1996, we considered
its internal control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose
of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on the
internal control structure.
The management of SEI Daily Income Trust is responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure
policies and procedures. Two of the objectives of an internal control
structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized
use or disposition and that transactions are executed in accordance
with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors
or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that it
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be
material weaknesses under standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a
condition in which the design or operation of the specific internal control
structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to
the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving the
internal control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above
as of January 31, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Board of Trustees and the Securities and Exchange Commission
and should not be used for any other purpose.
