Report of Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
SEI Institutional Managed Trust:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of SEI Institutional Managed Trust (the "Trust"), for the year
ended September 30, 2000, we considered its internal control,
including control activities 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 internal
control.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess
the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally,
controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's
objective of preparing financial statements for external
purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls
include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the effectiveness of their design and operation
may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal control 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
one or more of the internal control components does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by
error or fraud 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 internal control and its operation,
including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be material weaknesses as defined above as of September
30, 2000.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management, the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
