Defective assessment drafting undermines appeals; orders must state reasons, examine evidence, and avoid mechanical penalties. Defective drafting of assessment and penalty orders-failure to record facts, give fact based reasons for rejecting accounts or estimating profit, cite comparable cases, issue summons when burden warrants, examine affidavit deponents, allow adequate time for explanations, and provide itemised reasons for disallowances-leads to appellate losses. Commissioners must correct these shortcomings through instruction, inspection, adverse comment on defaulting officers, and by using AACs' confidential assistance to promote balanced, well reasoned assessments and non mechanical penalty orders.
