Overview
As the knowledge needed to function effectively as a professional accountant continues to expand and change at a rapid rate so are the standard-setters seeking for the most useful and accurate way to account for new and emerging transactions. This creates a huge demand on accountants to keep up with the pace at which new standards are introduced and old ones revised. The demand is even higher in sectors that are continuously evolving due to the dynamic and complicated business environment.
In response to the demand for improved global consistency and comparability of sustainability reporting, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued its first two standards on 26 June 2023: IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability – related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate – related Disclosures). IFRS S1 outlines general requirements for disclosing material information on sustainability-related financial risks and opportunities, while IFRS S2 focuses specifically on climate-related disclosures.
These standards aim to create a comprehensive global baseline and common language for sustainability reporting, enabling comparable, consistent, and decision-useful disclosures. On 6 September 2023, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), as the country’s standard setter and accountancy regulator, announced the intention to adopt these sustainability standards in Kenya. Subsequently on 14th November 2024, ICPAK released the Roadmap for Adoption of these standards in Kenya. The roadmap can be assessed on the ICPAK website through the link: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/310392939/
The successful adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards in Kenya will require active involvement from key stakeholders, including professional bodies, regulators, industry associations, academia, and policy makers. ICPAK will play a key role in supporting adoption and implementation by providing targeted capacity-building sessions for preparers, offering guidance materials, toolkits, and guidelines.
It is against this backdrop that ICPAK has organized this workshop. Key topical areas to be discussed are as follows:
IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information
 IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures
 IFRS S2: GHG Emissions
 Materiality Assessment
 IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures
 IFRS 9: Financial Instruments
IFRS 16: Leases
