Overview
Taxation is a cornerstone of organizational governance, compliance, and strategic planning. Beyond generating revenue for governments, it significantly influences corporate strategy, financial management, and long-term sustainability. Today’s tax environment is increasingly complex, with rapid legislative changes, heightened regulatory scrutiny, digitalization of tax administration, and international tax reforms challenging professionals to ensure compliance while optimizing tax positions.
The modern tax landscape in Kenya and globally presents multifaceted challenges. Finance professionals must navigate corporate income tax, VAT, excise duties, PAYE, transfer pricing, digital taxation, and emerging compliance requirements. Non-compliance exposes organizations to financial penalties, reputational risks, and operational disruption. Accountants, tax practitioners, auditors, and finance managers therefore play a critical role in safeguarding compliance, advising on strategic tax planning, and supporting overall organizational decision-making.
The Tax Principles & Compliance Workshop has been designed to equip participants with practical knowledge, technical skills, and actionable insights for effective tax management. Through a combination of technical instruction, interactive exercises, real-world scenarios, and practical case studies, participants will explore key aspects of domestic taxation, corporate and personal tax obligations, indirect taxes, tax audits, dispute resolution, and ethical tax practice. The workshop also introduces participants to digital tax tools, emerging trends, and strategic considerations in integrating tax functions with organizational objectives.
The program emphasizes the accountant’s role as a strategic partner, ensuring that taxation aligns with corporate governance, compliance, and long-term planning. Participants will gain practical insights into best practices for filing, reporting, audit preparation, dispute management, and leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and accuracy. The course also reinforces ethical standards and professional responsibility in tax practice, supporting transparency, accountability, and stakeholder confidence.
In this regard, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this workshop to equip participants with practical skills, insights, and tools to function as proactive Tax Champions, capable of influencing governance, strategic decision-making, and enterprise tax management at all levels. By the end of this two-day program, participants will be prepared to manage complex tax issues, ensure compliance with Kenyan tax laws, implement practical strategies, and contribute to organizational efficiency, transparency, and value creation.
