International Accountants Day is an opportunity to acknowledge the great work accountants do to make businesses thrive, support the economy, and help people navigate the complexities of finance.

Celebrated on 10 November each year, Chartered Accountants ANZ marks International Accountants Day with a social media campaign to raise awareness and visibility of the difference CAs make around the world.

Background of International Accountants Day

Vital to business success, accountants do much more than just crunching the numbers. They are involved in every aspect of business and make a real difference to the communities they serve. 

The 10 November date commemorates the day in 1494 that Venetian mathematician Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli published his critical work on everything about arithmetic, geometry and proportion. His analysis and documentation of bookkeeping practices established his publication as the foundation of accounting and positioned de Pacioli as ‘The Father of Accounting’.
