Global Recognition
Although not a public holiday, International Accounting Day is acknowledged in many countries around the world.

Legacy of Luca Pacioli
Luca Pacioli’s work, particularly his book "Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita," laid the foundation for modern accounting systems. His documentation of the double-entry method revolutionized financial record-keeping and remains a cornerstone of accounting education and practice today.
International Accounting Day not only honors this historical legacy but also emphasizes the evolving role of accountants in a rapidly changing financial landscape, including areas such as digital transformation, sustainability reporting, and global regulatory compliance.
