When and what is Accounting Day®?

The first Accounting Day® in San Diego was believed to be held in 1972. This would have been organized by the San Diego Chapter of the California Society of CPA’s to interest young people in pursuing an accounting career. Some remember the Institute of Management Accountants as the original organizers of the event. These early events were called “Accounting Career Days.” In 1976, other professional accounting and finance organizations were invited to participate and the event became known as “Accounting Day®”.

Today, Accounting Day is operated by the Accounting Education Institute. Accounting Day provides plenty of networking opportunities, giving people a chance to have educational opportunities in the fields of accounting and finance.

The date of the main Accounting Day® Live in San Diego has historically been held on a Monday in May, so the actual date changes each year. The year 2020 began with the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the cancellation of Accounting Day 2020. The new date is now a Monday in October beginning in 2021. Due to the lingering pandemic Accounting Day will not be held in 2020.

National and International Accounting Day Dates

International Accounting Day is most commonly recognized on November 10th each year.

In the US, many recognize National Accounting Day in May. Most of these dates are based on the different dates of past Accounting Day® Live events in San Diego. The most common of these is May 19th, which was started by our 2007 Accounting Day® Live event. As such we have declared National Accounting Day as May 19th of each year to be celebrated as Live event on various dates in May and October each year beginning in 2022.
