(b) any and all audits, reports, assessments, internal reviews, or memoranda created since January 1, 2014 pertaining to the Agency's processing of FOIL requests
Please also note that statistical or factual tabulations or data; instructions to staff that affect the public; and final agency policy or determinations cannot be withheld from the public under Section 87(2)(g) of Public Officers Law, Article 6.
