INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(ESTABLISHED UNDER THE ACCOUNTANTS ACT, LAWS OF KENYA)
THE 9th NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE
Theme: Empowered to Lead: Women Shaping the Future of Accountancy and Leadership
29th SEPTEMBER – 3rd OCTOBER 2025
SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA, MOMBASA
TIME: 09.00am-03.30pm
OVERVIEW
The evolution of the accounting profession continues to open new frontiers for women, not just as financial experts but as transformational leaders, governance champions, and ethical influencers. Across boardrooms, audit committees, public service institutions, and corporate corridors, women accountants are increasingly stepping into strategic roles that demand foresight, innovation, agility, and integrity. The era of merely participating is long gone; the focus now is on empowered leadership, system-wide impact, and building sustainable, inclusive organizations.
Despite global and national strides in gender equity, challenges persist—unequal representation in decision-making positions, wage disparities, limited access to mentorship, and heightened work-life pressures. However, Kenyan women in accountancy are rising, empowered by education, resilience, and collaborative networks. They are not only reshaping traditional professional narratives but are also driving national development agendas through participation in public financial management, ESG reporting, internal controls, audit reform, and financial transparency.
Globally, institutions are recognizing the value of female leadership in steering ethical governance and risk-aware decision-making. Locally, key conversations on professional equity, succession planning, and diversity in accounting are gaining traction. Additionally, the emergence of digital tools like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data analytics is reshaping the professional landscape, creating new opportunities and calling for fresh skillsets.
The modern lady accountant is expected to be more than just technically competent. She must be strategic, emotionally intelligent, media-savvy, digitally fluent, and ethically grounded. Balancing corporate demands with personal aspirations remains a common challenge, but one that can be navigated with the right support structures, policy reforms, peer-to-peer mentorship, and targeted leadership development.
The 9th National Lady Accountants Conference provides a reflective and empowering platform for lady professionals across Kenya and beyond to engage in rich discourse, foster meaningful connections, and build actionable strategies to excel in both personal and professional spheres. This event continues to position ICPAK as a key thought leader in supporting women professionals in finance and other fields.
As we gather for this annual event, we reaffirm the commitment to inclusion, professional advancement, and enabling women to thrive in their careers while positively impacting society. The conference will also provide a safe space for mentorship, mental and emotional well-being, financial literacy, and celebrating women who continue to lead and inspire in the profession. The Conference discussions will dwell on:
