In special sources devoted to significant dates, there are several options for answering the question when is Accountant's Day in 2022 in Russia. Such discrepancies are caused by its absence in the official list, despite the long-established tradition of celebrating it in November. Some citizens who are not related to the accounting profession are sure that it is celebrated in the spring, but this refers to the Chief Accountant's Day. In some territorial communities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tatarstan, Krasnoyarsk and Krasnodar Territories) there is a date set by local self-government bodies.

Date discrepancies

At the official level in the Russian Federation, this holiday has not been established, therefore, one can find statements that it is not marked in red in any calendar. It is absent from the list of national and memorable dates, but for 25 years now, the Accountant's Day (and at the same time the Taxman's Day, which is 4 years younger) is celebrated on November 21.

You can find several answers to the question when is Accountant's Day in 2022 in Russia, and this may be due to an inaccuracy in the name or discrepancies in the memorable dates in honor of which it was established:

• November 21 - President Yeltsin signed Federal Law No. 129 "On Accounting" (by decision of the Executive Committee of the Congress of Russian Accountants);
• November 28 - the day of its official publication, named the Day of the Professional Accountant (by the decision of the Presidential Council in 2002);
• April 21 - Day of the Chief Accountant of Russia, established in honor of the release of the first issue of the magazine "Glavbukh";
• November 16 - Day of the Moscow accountant;
• November 10 - International Day of Accounting, established in honor of the publication of the book by L. Pacioli more than 600 years ago.

At the regional level, albeit not in all subjects of the federation, in the post-Soviet space (excluding Belarus, but there is a dense discussion of this issue) there is an exact and officially enshrined answer as to how many accounting employees can celebrate their professional holiday.

In Russia, there is still no clarity, but this professional community has long celebrated it on November 21, together with the tax authorities. It is assumed that the setting of the event for November 10, on the international date, was prevented by the Day of the Police, still active and popular, but renamed in accordance with the new realities.

How to determine the date

According to statistics, the majority of employees in the accounting department are women, although recently there has been some departure from this trend. This is a fairly conservative category, prone to stable preferences. The lack of consolidation at the official level does not prevent them from steadfastly celebrating their day with the tax authorities.

In those regions where they have their own day, you can also celebrate it in parallel. Most dates fall in the second decade of November, but there are exceptions: for example, in the Yaroslavl region this is the first Sunday in April. Chief Accountants can celebrate April 21st. But November 21 is an unshakable tradition that is customary to follow. The professional calendar, published 2 years ago, indicates that both dates of November 21 (for accountants and tax authorities) are official.

Traditions and gifts

The lack of certainty led to very modest traditions, which are not everywhere, but at least one of them is observed without fail on this day:

• the organization can award bonuses to those who have particularly distinguished themselves;
• presenting certificates or greeting cards from the management;
• concerts or greetings are organized;
• corporate events can be held if the organization is large and there are many employees of this specialty working in it.

Many aspects of daily activities depend on good work on a calculator or with special computer programs - the absence of claims from the tax office, the correct calculation of salaries, benefits, sick leave, relationships with suppliers and customers. Therefore, on the eve of the date, many people are thinking about gifts for representatives of this profession. In order not to be mistaken in their choice, they buy flowers, sweets and beautiful postcards, tea or coffee, cute or funny souvenirs.
