The Luca Pacioli Accounting Awards

2021 Luca Awards

Nominations for the 2021 Luca Accounting Awards are now open. Winners will be announced during SYNERGY Hybrid Conference.

The Luca Awards are named after “The Father of Accounting”, Luca Pacioli. He was a monk, a magician, and a lover of numbers. Pacioli was both a domain expert and someone who saw the opportunity to harness new technologies.

Thanks to the newly invented printed press, his book, Summa de arithmetica, was mass produced in 1494 and his ideas spread all over the world. This book set the precedent for the modern accounting system firms use today as it introduced the concepts of ledgers, journals, and bookkeeping. He continued to contribute to modern day principles in accounting, economics, and mathematics his whole life, even when his home in Rome was taken over by the French in 1499.

Award winners

We are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2020 Luca Pacioli Accounting Awards. These firms and individuals have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the profession in times of chaos, devised innovative ways to serve clients, and channeled Luca Pacioli’s spirit of innovation and invention.
