Perhaps there is no better known profession in society than an accountant. Not a single company can do without the services of this specialist. The painstaking work with numbers, communication with the tax inspectorate and calculation of profits and expenses of the company - far from everyone can handle such work. And therefore, such a holiday as Accountant’s Day naturally arose.
What date is it worth looking into the office and congratulating the workers of the calculator and the 1-s program?
As it turned out, there are a lot of holidays dedicated to this profession on the calendar. So, there are such separately: Day of the accountant of Russia, Day of the accountant of Ukraine, Kazakh Day of the accountant is also celebrated separately.
Well, do not forget that the international holiday of workers in this field also has its mark on the calendar. Although, far to go, in the series of dates there is even the Accountant Day of the Krasnoyarsk Territory - apparently, local specialists stand out as something special among their colleagues across the country.
And how to understand all these intricacies?
First, find out what date is International Accountant Day. Despite the fact that many countries have their national holiday of workers of this specialty, the need has long been ripe for a single date to celebrate this celebration. And the International Accountant Day was created. What date is it celebrated? The choice of date was determined by historical events.
The reason for the choice was the release of the famous scientific work of the Italian scientist Luca Pacchioli at the end of the 15th century. It is known up to the day of the week - this happened on November 10, 1494. Why is this work so remarkable? In his book, Luca Pacchioli reveals the basic tenets of the profession of an accountant. In particular, a separate chapter is devoted to this, although the treatise itself summarizes all known mathematical knowledge. Paccioli described in detail the accounting in Venice at that time.
It is precisely his authorship that belongs to the postulate that has become the basis for the activity of all representatives of this profession: a good accountant will not go to bed until he settles the debit with the loan. For these merits, he became famous both among his contemporaries and among his descendants. This is eloquently evidenced by the fact that his book was printed on a machine, although printing was invented just 50 years before. And a confirmation of the gratitude of our contemporaries was that on the day that his work came out, we now celebrate Accountant Day. What date should this be done? The date was chosen on November 10, and now this day is known throughout the world.
Russian
However, there is also Russian Accountant Day. What date is this event celebrated? According to the decision of the Presidential Council of the UPS of the Russian Federation, it is scheduled for November 21, and is celebrated accordingly. On this day, special events at the state level are not held - because this date is not approved at the federal level.
But Accountant Day 2013 was marked by ubiquitous parties dedicated to this profession, as well as a stormy celebration by its representatives in entertainment venues across the country.
