At the same time\, market volatility\, inflation uncertainty and evolving investment landscapes are challenging traditional asset allocation strategies. Trustees and scheme management are required to balance long-term liabilities with short-term liquidity needs while maintaining prudence\, transparency and regulatory compliance. \nIn parallel\, the regulatory and professional expectations placed on pension schemes continue to expand. Actuarial valuations are subject to heightened scrutiny\, funding shortfalls demand credible recovery plans\, and financial reporting must faithfully reflect scheme solvency\, investment performance and member entitlements. Emerging risks\, particularly climate change\, ESG stewardship obligations\, cyber threats and data integrity issues are no longer peripheral considerations but central components of fiduciary duty. \nAgainst this backdrop\, ICPAK has developed this inaugural three-day training designed to move beyond theory and address the most difficult\, practical challenges facing retirement benefit schemes. The programme is structured to equip trustees\, finance teams and service providers with actionable tools to strengthen governance\, improve funding decisions\, align investments with liabilities\, and respond effectively to emerging risks that threaten long-term member outcomes. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nThe Role of Accounting in Pension Governance and Fiduciary Oversight \n \n·         Position of the accountant within the retirement benefits ecosystem \n·         How financial information supports trustee decision-making and accountability \n·         Link between accounting\, fiduciary duty and member protection \n·         Regulatory expectations on financial stewardship of pension assets \n·         Common financial reporting weaknesses observed in pension schemes \n \n\n\nAccounting for Pension Liabilities and Actuarial Valuations \n \n·         Relationship between actuarial valuation reports and financial statements \n·         Accounting implications of actuarial assumptions (discount rates\, inflation\, mortality) \n·         Treatment of surpluses and deficits in pension scheme accounts \n·         Sensitivity analysis and disclosure of key actuarial judgments \n·         Impact of funding position on going concern and financial sustainability assessments \n \n\n\nPreparation and Disclosure of Pension Scheme Financial Statements\n·         Application of IAS 26 and relevant IFRS requirements to pension schemes \n·         Accounting for contributions\, benefits payable and benefit payments \n·         Investment income recognition and expense classification \n·         Fair value measurement and disclosure requirements \n·         Related party transactions\, contingencies and subsequent events \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nInvestment Accounting\, Valuation and Performance Reporting\n·         Accounting treatment of listed and unlisted investments \n·         Fair value hierarchy and valuation techniques for pension assets \n·         Property\, private equity and alternative investment accounting \n·         Impairment considerations and income recognition \n·         Reporting investment performance in financial statements and trustee reports \n \n\n\nUnderstanding 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\, trustees\, and auditors \n \n\n\nGeneral Requirements \n \n·         Sources of Guidance \n·         Location of Disclosures \n·         Timing of reporting \n·         Comparative information \n·         Statement of Compliance \n·         Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \n·         Best practices in data collection \n·         Building capacity within the organization \n·         Transition Reliefs\n\n\nDAY 3\nIdentifying 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\n\nSelecting 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\nGHG 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\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course will be useful to professional accountants and those aspiring the profession. \nFINANCIAL INVESTMENT  \nThe conference  charges are Ksh 15\,000 per delegate for both members and non-members. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. \nDelegates 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.
