Each year for the last 41 years, ICPAK has maintained a rich tradition of congregating once a year to reflect on the profession and emerging issues affecting the nation. The last seminar followed the same pattern as it sought to reinforce the role of professional accountants in sustainability reporting and climate change. Both editions of the 41 st Annual Seminar attracted an average of 3,900 participants on both physical and virtual attendance, largely drawn from Kenya but with representation from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique and South Africa. The current event is targeted to attract a wider representation of East Africa and the continent at large. Due to limited seats the Institute has held two Annual Seminars since 2021to enable participation by most members. This year, the Institute shall also hold two Annual Seminars dubbed Edition 1 and Edition 2 to accommodate all the professionals. The first edition shall be held from 19th -23 rd May 2025 while the second one for this year shall be held on 17th – 21st November 2025.

This year’s events mark 42 years since the time when the Institute held its first Annual Seminar in 1984. This demonstrates resilience, unity and focus of the Accountancy profession. Throughout these decades, the Annual Seminar has acted as a beacon of hope for the profession.
