Today, only a few know when Accountant Day is celebrated around the world. In fact, all representatives of this rather ancient profession celebrate their holiday on November 10 every year. Representatives of this profession can be safely called indispensable, since without their direct help the debit will never converge with a loan, and the quarterly financial statements will be executed with errors.
When is Accountant Day celebrated in our country?
This ancient profession originated several centuries ago in Egypt. From the first days of the inception of society, people began to think about the need for proper and competent accounting of economic activity. However, it is worth noting that the ancient forms of maintaining such records were somewhat different from modern ones. For example, instead of the usual bookkeeping books and spreadsheets, primitive notches on trees, marks on clay tablets, knots on ropes, etc. were used earlier.
It is generally accepted that the “father of modern accounting” is Luca Pacioli. November 10 (the date when Accountant Day is celebrated today) in 1494, Pacioli published his book entitled "All About Arithmetic, Geometry and Proportion." One of the chapters of this book was called “On Accounts and Other Entries”. It described in as much detail the basic accounting principles that were in force at that time in Venice. It is important to note that some of the principles that Pacioli used are still popular today. It is the date of publication of this book that has become a traditional day when Accountant Day is celebrated around the world.
Of course, the International Accountant's Day is not the only opportunity to congratulate the representatives of such an ancient profession on their holiday. In different countries of the world there is also a certain date when reporting workers can be congratulated on their professional holiday. For example, in our country this is November 21, because it was on this day that the corresponding federal law “On Accounting” was adopted.
Of course, on this day, colleagues and relatives are in a hurry to congratulate the acquaintances of accountants on their, of course, professional holiday. Most of them, when choosing a gift, are primarily guided by those presentations that are directly related to money. An excellent gift is the so-called money tree. If you decide to show your originality, order a safe made of chocolate or come up with an unusual scenario. The accountant’s day in this case will be unforgettable.
You can also turn to the teachings of Feng Shui and give a present related to water. According to the wisdom of Feng Shui, it is water that attracts money. A good gift can be a small aquarium with goldfish or a medium-sized indoor fountain.
If your friend accountant prefers more modest gifts, present a picture with a river or the sea. In any case, when choosing a gift, you should not be guided by its value, but by the feelings that you invested in it.
