Transylvania University students talked accounting last week with the state treasurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allison Ball visited Melissa Mattox’s upper-level Governmental Accounting class for a discussion that went beyond number crunching to include the importance of serving your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Treasurer Ball was incredibly generous with her time, informational about her role in state government and inspirational to our next generation,” Mattox said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ball also addressed how she encourages women to support their communities through public service. Other topics included accounting regulations for local and state governments and her office’s role in fraud protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed speaking to the Government Accounting class at @Transy<\/a> this morning about the importance of financial transparency and accountability. It was great to see the students engaged and eager to learn more about choosing a career in public service. pic.twitter.com\/5IsvhB9L6u<\/a><\/p>— Treasurer Ball (2016-2023) (@KYTreasurer38) March 7, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
