The date was not appointed by chance, it was on June 30, 1917, the government issued a decree on the creation of the People’s Commissariat of Finance, which was subsequently transformed into the USSR Ministry of Finance. Initially, the holiday was exclusively formal - conferences were convened, reporting and election meetings were convened, where plans were set and reports on the work done were heard.
