SUMMARY:Audit Managers and Supervisors Seminar (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Managers & Supervisors Seminar (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th -18th September 2025\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\nTheme: Strengthening Audit Supervision for Quality\, Integrity\, and Digital Readiness\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe audit profession is undergoing rapid transformation driven by regulatory reforms\, technological disruption\, and heightened stakeholder expectations. Audit managers and supervisors now find themselves at the center of this shift\, tasked with ensuring audit quality\, mentoring teams\, and upholding ethical and professional standards\, while also adapting to digital innovations and evolving business risks. \nThe integration of technology has brought greater efficiency and analytical power to the audit process\, yet it has also created new challenges. Sophisticated fraud schemes\, cyber risks\, and the complexities of auditing technology-enabled business models require supervisors to adopt stronger oversight practices. At the same time\, the new International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 & 2) emphasize accountability\, leadership\, and risk-based approaches\, underscoring the critical role of supervisors in ensuring consistent quality across engagements. \nBeyond technical competence\, effective supervision now demands strong leadership\, the ability to manage diverse teams\, and the skill to navigate difficult client relationships and regulatory expectations. Supervisors are expected to model professional skepticism\, integrate technology responsibly\, and foster a culture of integrity and continuous improvement within audit firms and institutions. \nTo equip professionals for these responsibilities\, ICPAK has designed a two-day virtual symposium tailored to audit managers and supervisors. The symposium will blend technical learning\, leadership development\, case-based analysis\, and practical strategies to help participants strengthen their supervisory capacity. The sessions will explore risk-based audit supervision\, the application of digital tools\, ethical and regulatory developments\, and best practices drawn from real-world scenarios. The goal is to empower participants with the tools\, insights\, and confidence to lead audit teams effectively\, enhance audit quality\, and contribute to institutional resilience in a dynamic environment. \nThe training is designed to cover the following topics: \n1: The Evolving Role of Audit Managers & Supervisors \n\nSupervisory responsibilities under ISAs and ISQM requirements.\nBalancing technical excellence with leadership responsibilities.\nBuilding a culture of audit quality and accountability.\n\n 2: Audit Quality and Risk-Based Audit Approaches \n\nEmbedding ISQM 1 & 2 into supervisory practice.\nEffective planning and risk assessment.\nTechniques for reviewing audit work to ensure accuracy and completeness.\n\n 3: Supervisory & Leadership Skills for Audit Managers \n\nDelegation\, coaching\, and motivating audit teams.\nConflict resolution and managing diverse teams.\nEffective communication with partners\, clients\, and audit staff.\n\nSession 4: Leveraging Technology in Audit Supervision \n\nRole of data analytics\, AI\, and audit software in modern audits.\nSupervisory responsibilities in technology-driven audits.\nChallenges and opportunities in digital transformation of audit.\n\n5: Ethics\, Professional Skepticism\, and Regulatory Updates \n\nManaging independence threats and ethical dilemmas.\nReinforcing professional skepticism at supervisory level.\nUpdates from regulators\, ICPAK\, and international bodies.\n\n 6: Practical Case Studies & Best Practices \n\nReal-world supervisory challenges in audit.\nLessons learned from engagement reviews and regulatory inspections.\nPanel discussion and peer exchange on supervisory excellence.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Reporting Course (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Course\nTheme: Empowering Accountants for Sustainable Impact: Mastering IFRS S1 & S2\nDate: 2nd – 3rd October 2025\nTime: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\nHybrid Event: CPA Centre\, Nairobi & Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nGlobally\, sustainability reporting continues to gain momentum as stakeholders demand greater accountability on environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) matters. Businesses are now expected to disclose not only financial performance but also the impact of their operations on the planet and society. In response to this shift\, international standards IFRS S1 and S2 have been developed to offer a consistent and comparable framework for sustainability disclosures. The adoption of newly developed sustainability standards is not merely an organizational development initiative; it is critical for fostering a resilient economy at large\, impacting both private businesses and the public sector. \nAt the same time\, the accounting profession is facing new ethical challenges. Greenwashing\, greenhushing\, and conflicts of interest have emerged as major concerns in the sustainability space\, leading to misinformation and a loss of stakeholder trust. To address this\, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) introduced new ethics and independence standards under the IESSA (International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance) framework. These standards aim to guide professional accountants and assurance providers in maintaining integrity\, transparency\, and public interest when dealing with sustainability-related engagements. \nLocally\, feedback from the FiRe Award—East Africa’s most prestigious financial reporting excellence recognition award— has shown that while many organizations are making progress in sustainability reporting\, there are still significant gaps. These include weak board involvement\, inconsistent data presentation\, and poor linkage between strategy and reported outcomes. This workshop responds to those gaps by equipping personnel with practical skills\, real-world scenarios\, and ethical frameworks for quality sustainability reporting. \nThe sessions will offer targeted insights into sustainability reporting for various entities\, acknowledging that different entities require tailored approaches. \nThe workshop is designed to be interactive\, insightful\, and practical\, enabling participants to not only understand the evolving sustainability landscape but also take the lead in shaping it within their roles. \n LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Introduction to IFRS S1 & S2\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Objective of IFRS S1 & S2 \n·         Introduction to the Core content pillars \n·         Relationship with Other Standards \n \n\n\nB.   General requirements \n·         General requirements \n  \no   Sources of Guidance \no   Location of Disclosures \no   Timing of reporting \no   Comparative information \no   Statement of Compliance \no   Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \no   Best practices in data collection \no   Building capacity within the organization \no   Transition Reliefs \n \n\n\nC.   Core Content: Governance\n·         The Role of Governance Disclosures in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Foundational Concepts \n·         Governance Disclosures under IFRS S1: \n  \no   Deep Dive: Board-Level Governance \no   Deep Dive: Management’s Role \n  \n·         Sample governance disclosure formats\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 2\nD.   Core Content: Risk Management\n·         Required Disclosures \n·         Risk Identification and Assessment \n·         Risk Mitigation and Control \n·         Link to Strategy and Metrics \n·         Walkthrough of a risk disclosure template\n\n\nE.     Core Content: Strategy\n·         The Role of Strategy in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Positioning strategy as the bridge between governance and risk \n·         Scope of Strategic Disclosures \n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Practical Tools and Disclosure Techniques \n \n\n\nF.   Core Content: Metrics and Targets\n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions \n·         Cross-Industry Metrics \n·         Industry-Based Metrics \n·         Climate-Related Targets\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover course fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking:\nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.

They provide minimum guidance to the Auditor that helps determine the extent of auditing steps and procedures that should be applied in the audit and constitute the criteria or yardstick against which the quality of audit results are evaluated. Conducting audits in accordance with standards gives necessary assurance to people making use of the financial statements and audit reports. \nLarge complex organizations typically require a more in-depth application of these full ISAs given their scope of business and applicability. However\, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs. \nThe introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits. \nThis course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs. \nThe following topics will be covered:\n1. Introduction to ISA for Less Complex Entities\n• Background\n• The rationale for ISA for Less complex entities\n• Public interest overriding consideration \n2. Differences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs \n3. Core concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities\n• Fundamental Concepts\, General Principles and Overarching Requirements\n• Audit Evidence and Documentation\n• Engagement Quality Management\n• Acceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements\n• Planning\n• Risk Identification and Assessment\n• Responding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement\n• Concluding\n• Forming an Opinion and Reporting\n• Audits of Group Financial Statements \nTarget Audience:\nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:\n• Auditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).\n• Audit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.\n• Professionals involved in the development\, implementation\, and application of auditing standards for SMEs.\n• Accounting and auditing students who aim to specialize in auditing LCEs\n• Supervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\n• Mid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\n• Individuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover course fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nTarget Audience: \nThis course will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nOnline Booking:\nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) Cohort 1
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar cohort 1\nDate: 24th November   2025\nTime: 02.00pm-04.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1\, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000\, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms\, including tone at the top\, staff sensitization\, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies. \nBy the end of the webinar\, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently\, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity\, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n• Overview of the IESBA Code\n• The Conceptual Framework\n• Independence in Assurance Engagements\n• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice\n• Emerging Ethics Issues\n• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms \nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) cohort 3
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar – cohort 3\nDate: 3rd December  2025\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1\, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000\, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms\, including tone at the top\, staff sensitization\, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies. \nBy the end of the webinar\, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently\, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity\, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n• Overview of the IESBA Code\n• The Conceptual Framework\n• Independence in Assurance Engagements\n• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice\n• Emerging Ethics Issues\n• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms \nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.
