The importance of the work of these people, who are in charge of the secrets of economic practices, is undeniable and obvious.

Story

Despite the fact that the holiday was approved relatively recently and many consider it young, the day of the financier still has a deep history. The formation of the financial system in our country began at the beginning of the 19th century, when Emperor Alexander I signed a decree establishing the Ministry of Finance. One of the oldest state-level institutions in Russia, which is more than two hundred years old, has received the right to life.

For a very long time, specialists from various enterprises related to the management of financial affairs noted their professional holiday unofficially on September 8th. In 2011, the celebration of the Day of the financier was approved at the state level.

The well-known Russian financier of the past, Count Kankrin, headed the Russian Ministry of Finance for 21 years. He owns a phrase that clearly defines the importance of the profession of financiers at all times: "To protect finance means to protect the lifeblood of the existence of the state." As in past centuries, so in modern world, The Ministry of Finance plays a crucial role in shaping domestic and international economic ties.

The Russian financial system is now undergoing reconstruction, it can be said that it is being formed anew. Good finance professionals remain in demand and are well paid.

Traditions

Day of the financier is celebrated by specialists of financial departments of all enterprises of the country. Traditionally, employees of financial authorities, specialists in financial relations of various enterprises, students who have chosen the profession of organizing budgetary relations at various levels celebrate their professional holiday cheerfully and noisily. Corporate parties are held in restaurants and cafes, at which work teams and management congratulate each other, thanks are announced to employees who have especially distinguished themselves for the current year. Valuable gifts and diplomas are also awarded.

Students of financiers organize thematic concerts, business games. Lectures and seminars are given for first-year students on the basic mechanisms of financial management, competition conditions, etc. Radio and television do not stand aside - TV and radio programs are presented about the country's leading financiers, and the features and difficulties of this profession are described.

Financiers, that is, specialists in financial flows and in the proper conduct of financial transactions, are an important and necessary profession in market conditions. Any more or less large company has its own financier; the work of each banking institution is largely built on the work of competent financiers. It is obvious that a professional holiday of all the financiers of the country could not but appear in Russia. Let's find out when the Day of the Financier is celebrated in Russia in 2019, what date this holiday is celebrated, whether it has a permanent link in the calendar or its date changes from year to year.

What date is the Day of the financier in Russia celebrated in 2019

Day of the financier in our country is celebrated annually on the same day - 8 September. The date of its celebration is timed to coincide with the appearance on this day in 1802 of the Ministry of Finance Russian Empire. In fact, this year Russian financiers as such are 217 years old.

It is clear that the professional holiday of financiers is much less years old. Before the revolution, in principle, it was not customary to somehow celebrate professional holidays, exceptions are very rare (such as, for example, the Railwayman's Day, which originated in tsarist times).

Most of the days celebrating a particular profession appeared in Soviet time. It is obvious that the financiers were then not at a premium. The planned economy, of course, could not do without such people, but on the whole they were assigned the role of the gray mass of Soviet clerks, which was not customary to honor with special honors.

The Financier's Day holiday appeared, at first unofficially, already in the post-Soviet era. Its official recognition and inclusion in the calendar of Russian holidays took place only in 2011, so the history of the holiday has only eight years.

A variety of events, professional competitions and awards are timed to coincide with the new holiday.

The most notable of these are the Reputation Award, which rewards the country's most outstanding financiers, the Financial Woman of the Year competition for women financiers, and programs to promote the profession and improve financial literacy among students across the country.

It is worth paying special attention to the fact that the Day of the financier, which is celebrated in September, is a common holiday for all representatives of this profession. At the same time, in some government departments, similar holidays “for their own” quite officially exist. Therefore, for example, financiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Defense can celebrate their holiday twice during the year.

Today the country celebrates the Day of the financier. The holiday turns 215 years old. Needless to say, without the analytical talents of financiers, it is difficult for any organization, district, region, and the country as a whole to achieve prosperity.

The work of a financier is not easy. To be honest, there are few “analytical geniuses” among us, and “financial kings”, as a rule, are very modest figures, but their delicate and painstaking work is to count money well, draw a balance sheet, accumulate capital, and fairly distribute funds. Agree, this skill is not for everyone.

In Krasnoselye, the regional financial department was re-established on January 1, 1967, simultaneously with the formation of the Krasnoselsky district. Since 2006, the district financial department has been renamed the finance department of the district administration. On the eve of the half-century anniversary, we met with the head of the UV - Tatyana Dobrina.

— Tatyana Alexandrovna, you have long become a red-haired woman, everyone knows you, because you have been working and living here for more than 30 years. And yet, by tradition, I ask you to introduce yourself to our readers ...

- Probably, I can already be considered a red-haired woman, although I come from Kady. After graduating from the Yuryev-Polsky Financial College in 1984, she was assigned to the regional financial department of the Krasnoselsky District Administration. She started her work as a budget auditor, then she was a deputy chief accountant, from the 98th on replacement - the chief accountant of the regional financial department of the administration. After renaming the department - in the same capacity, and for half a year now I have been the head of the UV. Work experience in the financial sector - 33 years.

Three years after arriving here, she married a red-haired man, and had to settle in Krasnoselsky land. My husband and I have two children: a daughter and a son.

Tell us how you got into the profession?

- One might say, the dynasty brought me to this sphere: my grandfather (in the 60s of the last century) worked as a financier, and my mother also worked in the financial department of the Kady district. I liked solving arithmetic and logical problems at school, I had high marks in the exact sciences. And I always liked working with numbers, each line of them has its own story. Everything needs to be calculated, foreseen, thought over. This is probably why I became a financier, and I think that I was not mistaken in choosing a profession. Now the children are adults, both graduated from the Kostroma Technological University: the daughter is an accounting department, the son is an economics department. So our dynasty continues.

What is your department working on?

- Our main work is to draw up and implement the main document - the budget of the district. Right now, for example, we have begun work on designing the district budget for 2018. The work is difficult, painstaking, very responsible. Already in November, we are obliged to submit a draft budget to the administration. Twice during the year - hard work, at the beginning and at the end of the year: on budget planning and on the implementation of the consolidated budget. Each period of the year has its own tasks, since it is necessary to bring together the planned indicators and the execution of the budgets of eight rural settlements, one city and the district budget.

- Tell us about your mentors, the current team.

- My first mentor was the head of the budget inspection Tatyana Ivanovna Petrenko. When I worked as a deputy accountant, the chief accountant was Nadezhda Pavlovna Vinogradskaya, in 1998 I replaced her at the post. A wonderful woman, by the way, on August 10 she turned 85 years old, seniority at the same time - half a century, as long as our department exists. Among the mentors is Galina Gennadievna Zotova, who worked for 23 years as the head of the regional financial department.

In addition to me, there are eight specialists and a driver on the staff. All are highly qualified workers, responsible, with a modern outlook on life, in control of the situation and able to handle electronic equipment, since everything is now computerized. Most have solid professional experience. In ascending order: Elena Marova has been working as an accountant since June of this year, the deputy head of the budget department Tatyana Alekseeva and the driver Valery Lovygin have 4 years of experience. Valery Veniaminovich replaced Alexander Shilov as his predecessor with 19 years of experience. The expert of the department Varduhi Avagyan and the head of the accounting and reporting department Tatyana Smirnova worked for 8 and 9 years respectively. For 16 and 17 years, the deputy head of the accounting department, Olga Kuznetsova, and the head of the budget, my deputy, Olga Maletova. Marina Lomova, a consultant, has been working for 21 years and Lyudmila Malanyina, Chief Economist of the UF, has been working for 32 years. That's our whole friendly and close-knit team.

Who do you work closely with?

- First of all, with the federal treasury. Now that there have been changes in the power structures, we are directly subordinate to the head of the district administration. I am very glad that close contact has been established, and among the first persons of the district we have found mutual understanding and support. And, of course, many people come to us on various financial issues, since 47 state-owned institutions are recipients of the district's budget funds. We are approached about cost estimates, we bring these figures, and each institution distributes them in accordance with the classification of expenses. Mandatory guests are accountants and heads of administrations of rural settlements.

What would you wish your colleagues on their anniversary?

You know, it was very nice to receive greeting card from the regional department of finance, signed by its director Igor Zamuraev. There are many financiers in the area, both former and currently working. I congratulate my colleagues on their professional holiday and service anniversary. I wish you and your families good health, happiness, kindness, financial stability and prosperity. I convey the most nice words thanks to the employees who are now on a well-deserved rest, as well as to everyone who graduated from the Yuryev-Polsky Financial College, and who has an entry in the work book “Profession, specialty” - a financier.

Task for the day

Remember what foreign currencies you had to use in your life. Have there been any difficulties with this?

• Alexander the Great became the first ruler in the world whose face was minted on money. The rest of the rulers liked this idea, which subsequently spread throughout the world.
• Many believe that electronic money appeared in the twentieth century, but this fact is a delusion. In 1918, the US Federal Bank made the world's first money transfer using the telegraph.
• The first paper notes appeared several centuries BC. Such money was of great value, but they were used mainly for burning at the stake during funeral ceremonies.
• Regardless of the issued bank, the cards have the same dimensions: length - 85.6 mm, width - 54 mm, thickness - 0.67-1mm. Most cards have a 16 digit number.
• Bank cards have a certain period of storage, which in most cases is 3 years. This is due to the fact that due to frequent use, the magnetic stripe is erased.
• After the advent of money, counterfeiters began to appear in the world. Counterfeiting money is considered a crime that carries responsibility before the law. In the Middle Ages, there were certain methods of punishment for counterfeiters. They were deprived right hand, thrown into cages with wild animals, burned at the stake, poured red-hot tin into their mouths.
