It should be noted that the first International Day of Accounting was celebrated on November 10, 1972 in San Diego, USA. The day was first observed by the San Diego Chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants and the California Society of Certified Public Accountants (CPA's). On November 10, 1494, Italian mathematician Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli published a pamphlet titled Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalit in Venice. This is the first book to summarize mathematical knowledge. It discusses double entry bookkeeping and commercial accounting.

This day is celebrated in different countries of the world to encourage the work of professional accountants, to understand the importance of this work among common people and to make young people interested in this profession.
