Is it practical for one author to audit the program? Depends on how much is at stake. Even if impractical, if the authors have the right, they could band together. More importantly, contractually having the right to audit gives some credence to the idea that Amazon isn't cheating.

I don't know how it is done for sales. I'm not an author. But if there were no mechanism by which I could verify numbers, I would be mighty worried about being ripped off.
