118 transfers entering and leaving the Taler system, and
119 require merchants and mint operators to provide certain
120 information during financial audits. Mint operators
121 are expected to be permanently checked by auditors,
122 while merchants may be required to reveal information
123 during regular tax audits.
124 Information available to the government includes:
