IMPORTANT!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE SELECTING ONE OF THE ABOVE AUDIT REPORT CATEGORIES.

Audit reports are available in the following formats:

HTML - HyperText Markup Language.  These files can be opened with your web browser.  These files can be downloaded quickly, however, auditee responses are not included in this format and some of the format does not convert exactly to HTML from the original Microsoft Word format.  These files can be used by the visually impaired and the search feature on the OAS Home Page will search within an HTML document.

PDF - Portable Document Files.  These files can be downloaded quickly, however auditee responses are not included with the report.   For reports issued after July 1, 2000, the response will be scanned and saved in the PDF format and will be named as "PDF."  We anticipate receiving auditee responses in electronic form in the future.   PDF files require a suitable reader and, therefore, cannot be read or printed with standard word processor programs.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat reader on your computer, you can download the free reader here.  These files are best for printing out an exact copy of the report.  This format cannot, however, be used by the visually impaired or be used with the search feature on the OAS Home Page.

TIFF   - Tagged Image File Format.  These images were scanned from reports by the New York State Library.  These files are larger than both HTML or PDF formats and take much longer to download, especially if you are connected with a modem.  Many contain auditee responses.  They can be viewed from your browser using any one of a number of graphic applications capable of handling TIFF (Group 4 Fax) images. If you do not have one of these applications, you can download one of the following [Download Imaging for Windows] or [DocView].   These files are recommended for printing if you want the auditee response included.  The images may appear very large.  We recommend setting the viewing percent at 10 to 20 percent.  The image is not as clear as a PDF file and, similarly, cannot be used by the visually impaired or used with the search feature.  Once we begin receiving auditee responses in electronic form, there will be no need to include our reports in the TIFF format.
