Hartranft, Lyle

Dauphin

Request sought various information relating to the agency's audits for years ending in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The appeal is moot in part as to the records provided on appeal. Certain items of the request are sufficiently specific under Section 703 of the RTKL to enable the agency to identify responsive records. Papers underlying a financial audit are exempt from disclosure under Section 708(b)(17) of the RTKL. The agency demonstrated that Item 16, in part, does not exist in its possession, custody or control. The agency's interpretation of Item 14 is unreasonable and Item 9 does not seek records under the RTKL. Granted in part, denied in part, and dismissed as moot in part.
