Short answer: the public Summary of Results should identify the most recent bias audit and disclose the information required by the DCWP rules, including the audit date, data-source explanation, applicable selection or scoring rates and impact ratios, and the AEDT distribution date. Publication is a separate obligation from performing the underlying audit.
Before covered use, 6 RCNY §5-303 requires the employer or employment agency to make the most recent audit date and a summary of results publicly available in a clear and conspicuous manner. The summary includes the data source/explanation, unknown-category count, applicant/candidate counts, applicable selection or scoring rates, impact ratios, and the distribution date.
What fields must the public Summary of Results contain?
| Field | Publication requirement |
|---|---|
| Most recent audit date | Publicly available before use |
| Data source and explanation | Included in summary |
| Unknown-category count | Included in summary |
| Counts and applicable rates | Included for all required categories, subject to rule provisions |
| Impact ratios | Included for required categories |
| Distribution date | Publicly available |
Where can the Summary of Results be published?
Yes. The rule allows an active hyperlink to a website containing the required summary and distribution date if the link is clearly identified as a link to the bias-audit results.
How long must the Summary remain publicly available?
The employer or employment agency must keep the summary and distribution date posted for at least six months after its latest use of the AEDT for an employment decision.

What should be checked before publication?
