The accountant should be independent, proficient, plan the engagement, supervise assistants, and obtain sufficient evidence to provide a reasonable basis for the report.

MARKET SHARE is the percentage of sales a company captures for a particular product line, i.e., the percentage of total industry sales that a particular company controls within a given market.
