An addition to taxable income based on an erroneous entry in the original tax-audit report was unsustainable where the assessee produced evidence of a substantially lower correct figure and the auditor subsequently revised and uploaded a corrected audit report; the appellate finding stressed that the evidentiary weight of an audit report is not absolute and must yield where a demonstrable clerical/figural error has been rectified, and that the first appellate authority's reliance on the uncorrected report was unreasonable.
