In Russia it is customary to celebrate a professional holiday - Accountant's Day. It is dedicated to all specialists whose activities are related to calculations and reporting. Therefore, employees of related professions are often classified as accountants. Let's find out what accompanies this significant day.
Origin story
Since tracking changes in legislation, keeping records and preparing reports is not an easy task, it was decided to introduce a new professional holiday. It is especially important for employees who have worked in the organization for a long time. What day is Accountant's Day?, today almost everyone knows. But how did he appear?
The emergence of a significant date was associated with the publication of a new law on accounting. The day of the official signing of this legislative act by Boris Yeltsin in 1996 has traditionally become significant in Russia.
Later, at a meeting of the executive committee in 2000, the issue of legitimizing this event was discussed. It was decided to apply to the Ministry of Finance to establish a professional holiday.
The event was successful, but there is one caveat: it is impossible to set a specific day for an accountant for all regions of Russia. The reason is that the mentioned normative act was adopted in different regions at different times. For this reason, the date of celebration is different. But experts must know the number exactly. Let's look at this issue in detail.
How to celebrate and what can be given as a gift
The holiday - Accountant's Day - is usually celebrated among colleagues, relatives or friends. Much depends on the tradition of the company. You can organize a celebration right in the office at the end of the working day or get everyone together. For example, in a cafe or outdoors.
Since the majority of representatives of this profession are women, you can give flowers, sweets, and cards on this day. Male accountants are given souvenirs, diaries, and leisure accessories.
The main task for everyone is to be able to create a friendly atmosphere and prepare beautiful congratulations.
When Accountant's Day in 2019 in Russia
Most Russian specialists celebrate this holiday on November 21. Although the date has not been set at the federal level. It overlaps with another professional holiday - Tax Authority Employee's Day. Since the activities of both areas are interconnected and have much in common, joint celebration is possible.
The second reason why April 21st became a significant date is the publication of the first issue of this magazine. The organizers hope that over time the holiday will receive official status in Russia.
International Accountants Day
There is another holiday that you need to know about - International Accounting Day. It is celebrated annually on November 10 by all specialists related to accounting and reporting.

Accountant's Day is a professional holiday, that is, dedicated to representatives of a certain profession. Paradoxically, but in the official list professional holidays Russia does not have this holiday. But at the same time, the holiday is regularly celebrated by accountants themselves, as well as by members of their families, and by the heads of companies in which specialists work.
Historically, Accountant’s Day in our country is celebrated on November 21 - the date was determined in honor of the signing of the Law “On Accounting”,
Regional holidays
In some regions of our country, Accountant's Day is celebrated especially. At the regional government level, their own celebration dates have been adopted - for example, in the Volgograd region Accountant's Day is celebrated on November 1. And Yaroslavl decided to move the holiday to spring - in the region, Accounting Worker's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in April. Tatarstan celebrates the Republican Day of “Accounting Workers” on the last Friday in November. Both Moscow has its own Accountant Days – November 16th, and St. Petersburg – November 15th.
Holiday in Russia
Attempts to introduce Accountant Day at the federal level have been made for more than fifteen years. The first such attempt was made in 2000, when the Second All-Russian Congress of Accountants and Auditors took place. Those present decided to appeal to the government with a proposal to include Accountant's Day in the register of professional holidays. Unfortunately, the fate of this proposal remains unknown.
More active progress in the matter of official approval of the holiday was made in 2014. An appeal from the initiative group of the Union of Accountants and Auditors of Russia reached the Ministry of Finance. Representatives of the department promised to bring the issue of a new holiday. At the moment, a discussion is underway on the possible date of the holiday - whether to leave the date of November 21, which has already been customary for many years of unofficial celebration, or whether it would be more reasonable to join the international community in this matter and set November 10 as the date of the holiday.
International holiday
The merits of accountants are recognized not only in our country. On November 10, the whole world celebrates International Accountants Day, a holiday adopted by the UN on the recommendation of UNESCO. The date of the holiday was the day of the birth of the first book on accounting - the work of Luca Pacioli “The Sum of Arithmetic, Geometry, Relations and Proportions”, published already in 1405. Yes, accounting can safely be called one of the oldest disciplines that has reached our time with an almost unchanged base - if we take the end of the 15th century as the starting point, then this discipline is already more than five hundred years old.
Luca Pacioli (sometimes spelled Pacioli) is an Italian scientist, mathematician, and a man who created the foundations of accounting as a clear system. In essence, his Summa was a textbook and collection of problems in algebra and geometry, which set out as a basis a guide to the accounting systems adopted at that time in Italy. An attempt to combine into a single system all the accounting skills that were adopted in different regions of the country, the creation of a table of coins, a summary table of weights and measures, became Pacioli’s significant contribution to the development of accounting.
In any modern enterprise, without a chief accountant, it is impossible for the company to prosper and make a profit, so on April 21 in Russia they celebrate the Day of the Chief Accountant (Chief Accountant Day).
HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY
Chief Accountant Day is celebrated on April 21. The date was not chosen by chance. Firstly, the end of April is just the time when the reports are submitted, and the accountant can relax a little before the long weekend in May. And secondly, it was on this day, April 21, in 1994, that the first issue of the Glavbukh magazine was published.
HOLIDAY TRADITIONS
On this day, there is a good tradition of presenting funny and creative gifts.
- We urge everyone who encounters chief accountants in their work to put aside their affairs at least for a while, take a few minutes and congratulate them, telling them “thank you” for their hard, but so necessary work,- say the organizers of the holiday.
As the magazine staff themselves admit, they have a good tradition of giving all accountants, in particular subscribers, funny and creative gifts on this day. For example, in 2018, the editors gave all Chief Accountants a huge billboard postcard.
OTHER ACCOUNTANT HOLIDAYS
In Russia, this holiday is not officially established at the federal level. In practice it is noted . By a paradoxical coincidence, November 21 in Russia is celebrated as the Day of Tax Authorities of the Russian Federation.
In some regions of Russia, in addition to the national date of celebration, there is their own day of celebration of Accountant's Day. So, in St. Petersburg, November 15 is considered accountant’s day. The next day – November 16 – is celebrated in Moscow. In Yaroslavl, the celebration takes place on the first Sunday in April. And accountants in Tatarstan celebrate on the last Friday of November. In the Volgograd region - November 1. In the Krasnoyarsk Territory - November 12, and in Krasnodar region This is the first Sunday in December.
