SEC
Hoecker is the third Inspector General of the SEC. Allison Lerner, the National Science Foundation inspector general, said "I believe his skills as an investigator and a CPA will combine to make him an outstanding inspector general at the Securities and Exchange Commission".
He replaced Jon Rymer, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's inspector general, who temporarily served as the SEC's interim inspector general.
