Presented by Renee Flasher
Assistant Professor of Accounting

State Board of Accounts

Indiana’s State Board of Accounts (SBOA) externship presented me with the opportunity for a unique insight into governmental auditing and non-profit oversight within the State of Indiana. The SBOA performs financial statement audits, provides oversight of audits of other entities (when outsourced), and investigations when a tip warrants further examination. The agency also performs election recounts. This presentation will cover what I learned about the agency, what it offers students as a career path, and ideas for classroom activities and research.
