Proper service of notice will not vitiate an appellate order unless actual prejudice is shown, and the Tribunal found no such prejudice where notices were issued through the ITBA system and multiple opportunities were granted. Rejection of books of account under section 145(3) was upheld because salary es lacked primary records, creditors remained unverified, stock discrepancies were found, and complete supporting evidence was not produced.
