The Institute is established by an Act of parliament and has been in existence since 1978.  Over its long history it has registered over 35\,000 members. Its members work in diverse sectors of the economy as accountants\, financial experts\, auditors and financial consultants. Over 800 of our members have emigrated and are working beyond the borders of Kenya. Members of the Institute are present in 41 different countries around the globe. \nTHE ANNUAL PRACTICAL ETHICS FORUM  \nThe role of accountants extends beyond financial leadership to incorporate broader responsibilities both in governance and ethics. The swiftly evolving global landscape\, characterized by technological advancements\, interconnected economies\, and diverse societal challenges\, makes the principles of integrity and accountability to be more crucial than ever. Corporate success or failure is reliant on strong ethics and governance practices which ensure that financial reporting and practices are conducted with integrity\, transparency and accountability. \nCorporate ethics is the moral behaviour of a company and its employees while conducting business. It examines ethical principles and dilemmas in business conduct\, affecting individuals and organizations.

SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IFRS S1 and S2 WORKSHOP 2026 (Mandatory Training) virtual option
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP\nDATE: 2nd -6th March 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTheme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2 \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global corporate reporting landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as sustainability-related risks and opportunities increasingly affect enterprise value\, capital allocation\, and long-term business viability. Investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and other capital providers are no longer satisfied with high-level ESG narratives; they are demanding decision-useful\, comparable\, and verifiable sustainability information that is clearly connected to financial performance and position. \nIn response to this demand\, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) to establish a global baseline for sustainability reporting that is investor-focused\, consistent\, and integrated with financial reporting. These standards reposition sustainability disclosures from stand-alone reports to an integral component of general-purpose financial reporting\, subject to governance\, controls\, and assurance expectations similar to those applied to financial statements. \nHowever\, despite growing awareness of IFRS S1 and S2\, many organizations face significant challenges in operationalizing the standards. Preparers often understand the conceptual requirements but struggle with practical questions such as: \n\nWhat constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?\nHow should governance\, strategy\, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?\nWhich metrics and targets are appropriate\, reliable\, and defensible?\nHow can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements\, assumptions\, and judgments?\nHow should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?\n\nIn many cases\, existing ESG reports are narrative-heavy\, inconsistently structured\, and weakly linked to financial outcomes. This creates credibility risks\, exposes organizations to accusations of greenwashing\, and undermines the usefulness of sustainability information for decision-making. For emerging and developing markets in particular\, capacity constraints\, data limitations\, and evolving regulatory expectations further compound these challenges. \nThis workshop is designed to respond to that bridge that gap. By focusing on practical reporting application rather than standard-by-standard exposition\, it aims to equip participants with the tools\, frameworks\, and confidence required to prepare clear\, coherent\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2. The workshop also recognizes sustainability reporting as a journey\, supporting participants in moving from initial compliance toward mature\, integrated\, and credible sustainability reporting practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, boards\, and auditors\n\n\nB.   Identifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments\n\n\nC.   Reporting Governance\, Strategy\, and Risk Management\n·         Governance disclosures: roles of the board and management \n·         Linking sustainability risks and opportunities to strategy \n·         Integrating sustainability into enterprise risk management (ERM) \n·         Avoiding boilerplate disclosures \n·         Examples of strong vs weak IFRS S1 governance narratives \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Selecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n·\n\n\nE.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices \n \n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n \nG.   Connectivity Between Sustainability and Financial Reporting\n·         Linking sustainability risks to financial impacts \n·         Implications for revenue\, costs\, assets\, liabilities\, and provisions \n·         Consistency between sustainability disclosures and management commentary \n·         Avoiding contradictions between ESG reports and financial statements \n·         Preparing for assurance and audit scrutiny\n\n\nDAY 3\nH.   Climate-related Risks and Opportunities under IFRS S2\n·         Physical vs transition climate risks \n·         Short-\, medium-\, and long-term climate impacts \n·         Identifying climate-related opportunities \n·         Value chain and geographic considerations \n·         Climate-related targets and transition plans \n \n\n\n \nI.     Preparing a Coherent IFRS S1 & S2–Aligned Report\n·         Structuring sustainability disclosures \n·         Integrating IFRS S1 and S2 requirements coherently \n·         Avoiding duplication across reports \n·         Readiness for assurance and regulatory review \n·         Roadmap for continuous improvement and year-on-year enhancement\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. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 20 Structured CPD Units. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 54\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\n ONLINE 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 \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).

SUMMARY:Internal Audit: Global Internal Audit Standards Seminar (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternal Audit: Global Internal Audit Standards Seminar (mandatory training)\nDate: 11th – 12th March 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme- Transforming Internal Audit for Strategic Impact and Sustainable Organizational Value \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nInternal audit\, much like the unseen systems that guide everyday decision-making\, is fundamental to how organizations anticipate risks\, strengthen accountability\, and sustain operational integrity. It plays a central role in shaping the quality of oversight\, the accuracy of financial reporting\, and the robustness of governance structures. Yet\, as global corporate failures and governance breakdowns continue to demonstrate\, risks often escalate not because controls are absent\, but because they are outdated\, poorly implemented\, or misaligned with strategic realities. \nThe release of the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025) marks a pivotal moment for the profession. These standards provide a unified global framework that reinforces ethical conduct\, independence\, objectivity\, and quality assurance—positioning internal audit as a strategic function that enhances resilience\, strengthens stakeholder confidence\, and safeguards long-term value. They reshape expectations of the profession by demanding deeper risk insights\, more rigorous methodologies\, and a more forward-looking perspective on organizational vulnerabilities. \nWhether you are a seasoned Internal Auditor or beginner\, the Global Internal Audit Standards workshop offers participants an opportunity to develop a foundational and fundamental understanding of the internal audit profession\, the internal audit process\, and how the IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF)\, including the Global Internal Audit Standards that became  effective in 2025 and serve as the guiding compass for the internal audit activity. \nThe workshop delivers an enhanced level of knowledge of the professional practice of internal auditing to experienced Internal Audit practitioners\, those who are pursuing an understanding of the internal audit nomenclature as new practitioners and external auditors who are transitioning to internal auditing through an in-depth exploration of the domains\, principles\, and standards. \nThe seminar is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to IIA guidance found in the IPPF\nGlobal Internal Audit Standards: Comparisons and contrasts between internal audit to external audit.\nPurpose\, authority\, and responsibility of the internal audit activity and concept of governance.\nDomain 1: Purpose of Internal Auditing.\nDomain II: Ethics and Professionalism.\nDomain III—Governing the Internal Audit Function \nDomain IV- Managing the Internal Audit Function\nDomain V- Performing Internal Audit Services\nApplying the Global Internal Audit Standards in the Public Sector\nStrengthening Organizational Resilience\nGlobal guidance\, topical requirements\, GIAS preparedness and gap assessment\nAction Plan for Internal Auditors for GIAS implementation\nEthics And Professionalism in Internal Auditing\n\n Target Audiences \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:CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nCORPORATE GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE\nTheme: Integrating Principles of Corporate Governance into The Values System of Leaders in Kenya\nDate: 16th to 20th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Hotel & Spa Mombasa \nINTRODUCTION \nCorporate governance is a system of rules\, policies\, and practices that dictate how a company’s board of directors manages and oversees the operations of a company. Corporate governance includes principles of transparency\, accountability\, and security. Poor corporate governance\, at best\, leads to a company failing to achieve its stated goals\, and\, at worst\, can lead to the collapse of the company and significant financial losses for shareholders. \nPerhaps one of the most important principles of corporate governance is the recognition of shareholders. The recognition is two-fold. First\, there is the basic recognition of the importance of shareholders to any company – people who buy the company’s stock fund its operations. Equity is one of the major sources of funding for businesses. Second\, from the basic recognition of shareholder importance follows the principle of responsibility to shareholders. The policy of allowing shareholders to elect a board of directors is critical. This means that shareholders\, effectively\, have a direct say in how a company is run. \nShareholder interest is a major part of corporate governance. Shareholders may reach out to the members of the community who don’t necessarily hold an interest in the company but who can nonetheless benefit from its goods or services. Reaching out to the members of the community encourages lines of communication that promote company transparency. It means that all members of the community – those who are directly or indirectly affected by the company – and members of the press get a clear sense of the company’s goals\, tactics\, and how it is doing in general. Transparency means that anyone\, whether inside or outside the company\, can choose to review and verify the company’s actions. This fosters trust and is likely to encourage more individuals to patronize the company and possibly become shareholders as well. \nAn increasingly important aspect of corporate governance is security. Shareholders and customers/clients need to feel confident that their personal information is not being leaked or accessed by unauthorized users. It’s equally important to ensure that the company’s proprietary processes and trade secrets are secure. A data breach is not just very expensive. It also weakens public trust in the company\, which can have a drastically negative effect on its stock price. Losing investor trust means losing access to capital that is necessary for corporate growth. Everyone in a company\, from entry-level staffers to members of the board\, needs to be well-versed in corporate security procedures such as passwords and authentication methods. \nLeadership\, both as a research area and as a practical skill\, encompasses the ability of an individual\, group or organization to lead\, influence or guide other individuals\, teams\, or entire organizations. Throughout history\, great leaders have emerged with leadership styles in providing direction\, implementing plans and motivating people. These can be broadly grouped into 5 different categories such as Authoritarian Leadership\, Participative Leadership\, Delegative Leadership\, Transactional Leadership and Transformational Leadership. Despite these definitions\, most leaders still struggle with the meaning of each leadership style mentioned above\, the difference between each leadership approach as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each style. This conference will explore each of these styles and provide an avenue for leaders to discuss on the best approach to take in leading their teams. \nAll leadership styles serve a purpose depending on the situation\, type of organization or industry\, and the personalities of the leadership and employees involved. The best approach is to become familiar with all leadership styles and understand the applications of each style. You will likely have a default style of leadership that you naturally exhibit or turn to. However\, it is important that you are flexible in how you lead others. To understand when to employ each type of leadership style it is essential to develop your ability to diagnose needs\, communicate effectively\, and be flexible in how you make decisions and interact with others. \nLeadership in business is the capacity of a company’s management to set and achieve challenging goals\, take fast and decisive action when needed\, outperform the competition\, and inspire others to perform at their highest levels. Leadership also speaks to a more holistic approach\, such as the tone of an organization or the culture that management establishes. Individuals with strong leadership skills in the business world often rise to executive positions. \nEffective leadership includes exhibiting a strong character. Leaders exhibit honesty\, integrity\, trustworthiness\, and ethics. Leaders act in line with how they speak and earn the right to be responsible for others’ success in the organization. Strong leadership involves clear communication skills. Leaders speak with and listen to staff members\, respond to questions and concerns\, and are empathetic. Leaders use effective communication skills for moving the company forward and achieving new levels of success. \nValues refer to beliefs or ideals shared by the members of a culture about what is good or bad\, desirable or undesirable. They are standards of conduct\, efficiency or worth which a society endorses\, maintains and even transmits to her members. Principles of Governance are normative principles that guide the state to perform its functions in a manner that promotes the general wellbeing of its people. \nNational Values and Principles of Governance are fundamental beliefs or ideals that guide the choices\, actions and behaviour of a nation. They are critical in building national identity and national character that guides the realization of national development. In addition\, National Values exert influence on the way individuals relate with one another\, how communities engage one another and how citizens and government interact to promote peace\, national unity and cohesion. \nNational Values and Principles of Governance are key in managing diversity and building national social capital that surpasses ethnic\, religious\, class and racial limitations. They cultivate internal social and cultural coherence which are based on national norms and interests that govern interactions focused on achieving national common good. It is because of the central role of values in organising\, inspiring\, transforming\, and guiding Kenyans that they are enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution. The National Values and Principles of Governance facilitate the building of bridges among communities\, ethnic\, religious\, and racial traditions and establish constitutionalism that binds and integrates Kenyans into a unitary nation-state. They provide opportunities to individuals and groups to pursue freedoms and happiness in a diverse society and a firmly united nation. \nThis Conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to discuss issues and challenges as well as dwell on topical areas such as: \n\nAn overview of King IV Code of Corporate Governance\nImplementation of the Mwongozo code of Corporate Governance in Kenya\nEffective management of shareholder activism\nLegal\, Institutional Policy Frameworks and Administrative Actions for the promotion of national values and principles of governance\nCorporate governance principles: An overview of the book G20/OECD- Principles of Corporate Governance\nEmerging trends in Board and executive compensation schemes\nFailures of corporate governance on both international and local landscape: A review of various case studies\nMainstreaming national values for behaviour change in Kenya\nEnhancing public trust through strengthening of corporate data security systems and processes\nChallenges that weaken the drive towards a cohesive united\, peaceful\, and prosperous nation\nEnhancing transparency through improved Corporate Governance reporting and disclosures\nSustaining ethical leadership under high pressure environments and turbulent times\nAn overview of different leadership styles:\n\n\nAuthoritarian Leadership\nParticipative Leadership\nDelegative Leadership\nTransactional Leadership\nTransformational Leadership\n\n\nModern day leadership: Leading inter- generational teams\nThe place of leadership in managing productivity & time management: A look at the tools and technology for use by leaders in modern times\nThe role of transformational leadership in leading and managing change\nEffective communication styles and tips for leaders: Enhancing presentation skills and influence in engagements\n\n FINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\n**Charges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the Governance and Leadership Conference. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Audit Quality Assurance and compliance with ISAs - Western Branch (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Quality Assurance & compliance with ISAs- Western Branch  (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 18th – 19th March 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: Sosa Hotel\, Vihiga\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nHigh quality audits are essential for strengthening governance\, enhancing accountability\, safeguarding resources\, and ensuring compliance with established standards and regulations. In an evolving regulatory environment characterized by increasing stakeholder expectations\, heightened scrutiny\, and rapid changes in audit methodologies organizations must continuously improve their audit practices. \nHowever\, many audit units face challenges such as inconsistent application of standards\, inadequate review mechanisms\, limited exposure to emerging audit trends\, and gaps in documentation and evidence-gathering practices.

SUMMARY:IPSAS Accrual Accounting - Nyanza Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIPSAS Accrual Accounting – Nyanza Branch\nTheme: Strengthening Public Financial Transparency Through IPSAS Accrual Accounting\nDate: 18th – 19th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Nyamira-Guardian Hotel \nOverview \nPublic sector financial management is increasingly moving toward transparency\, accountability\, and improved decision-making. The adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis is a critical reform that enhances the quality\, comparability\, and credibility of public sector financial reporting. \nWhile many public sector entities are transitioning from cash-based to accrual-based accounting\, challenges remain in understanding IPSAS requirements\, applying accrual concepts\, and translating standards into day-to-day accounting practices. \nThe Kenyan cabinet in March 2024 approved the transition from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting with effect from 1st July 2024. The accrual basis of accounting\, as outlined by IPSAS\, provides a more accurate picture of a government’s financial position and performance by recognizing transactions when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid. \nThis move is necessitated by the short-coming of cash basis of accounting with its attendant weaknesses arising from the point of view o financial transparency\, integrity and accountability.  Governments that follow cash basis of accounting tend not to maintain comprehensive and up-to date records of the value of their assets and liabilities. \nWhile many organizations have adopted IPSAS in principle\, practical challenges remain in compiling\, analyzing\, and reporting accrual-based financial statements. \nThese organizations\, often require hands on training to ensure they can correctly apply IPSAS requirements\, prepare compliant financial statements\, and understand the implications of accrual adjustments and disclosures. This workshop is designed to strengthen technical capacity and practical understanding of IPSAS Accrual Accounting\, with a focus on real-world application. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations of IPSAS Accrual Accounting \n\nOverview of IPSAS and the IPSASB framework\nCash vs. Accrual Accounting: Key differences and benefits\nConceptual Framework for General Purpose Financial Reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nAccounting for assets (property\, plant and equipment\, intangibles)\nGroup discussions and practical examples\n\nApplication and Financial Reporting \n\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\nAccounting for liabilities\, provisions\, and contingent liabilities\nRevenue and expense recognition under accrual IPSAS\nPresentation of financial statements under IPSAS Accrual\nDisclosures and notes to financial statements\nCommon implementation challenges and mitigation strategies\nCase studies and practical exercises\nWay forward and institutional action planning\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers\nInternal and external auditors\nBudget and planning officers\nTreasury and financial management staff\nSenior managers involved in financial reporting and oversight\n\nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:IPSAS Accrual Accounting Workshop- North Rift Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIPSAS Accrual Accounting Workshop (North-Rift Branch)\nTheme: Advancing Public Financial Management through IPSAS Accrual Accounting\nDate: 18th – 19th March\nTime: 9.00AM – 4.00PM\nVenue: Ateker Hotel Limited\, Lodwar Turkana \nOverview \nPublic sector entities globally continue to transition from cash-basis accounting to the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) Accrual basis to enhance financial transparency\, accountability\, comparability\, and decision-usefulness of financial information. \nIn Kenya\, this reform agenda gained significant momentum following the Cabinet approval in March 2024 of the transition from cash-basis to accrual-basis accounting with effect from 1 July 2024. This transition marks a critical milestone in public financial management reforms and places increased responsibility on accounting officers\, finance teams\, auditors\, and oversight institutions to prepare and use accrual-based financial information. \nWhile cash-basis accounting focuses on cash flows\, it does not provide a comprehensive view of an entity’s financial position\, assets\, liabilities\, commitments\, and long-term obligations. Consequently\, governments operating under cash basis often lack complete and up-to-date records of assets and liabilities\, limiting fiscal transparency and informed decision-making. The adoption of IPSAS Accrual accounting addresses these limitations by recognizing transactions and events when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid\, thereby providing a more faithful representation of financial performance and position. \nTopical areas are as follows: \n\nProperty\, Plant and Equipment & Intangible Assets\n\n\nRecognition and measurement of PPE (IPSAS 17)\nDepreciation\, revaluation\, impairment\, and derecognition\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31): identification and valuation\n\n\nRevenue Recognition in the Public Sector\n\n\nRevenue from exchange transactions (IPSAS 9)\nRevenue from non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 23)\nGrants\, transfers\, and conditional funding\n\n\nEmployee Benefits\n\n\nOverview of IPSAS 39\nShort-term\, post-employment\, and other long-term benefits\nRecognition and measurement challenges\n\n\nLeases – IPSAS 43\n\n\nRight-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability\nDetermining the lease term\nRecognition criteria\nInitial measurement of; ROU asset & Lease liability\nSubsequent accounting; Depreciation of ROU assets & Interest and remeasurement of lease liabilities\n\n\nInventory – IPSAS 12\n\n\nScope\nRecognition and measurement of inventory\nInventory valuation\nInventory control and verification\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\n\n\nSustainability Reporting for the Public Sector\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Compliance and Risk Management Officers\, Internal and External Auditors. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.
