SUMMARY:Forensic Audit and Internal control Workshop-Central Rift Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nForensic Audit and Internal control Workshop-Central Rift Branch\nDate: 16th – 17th  July 2026\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Lemaiyan Suites Naivasha \nOverview \nForensic auditing has become an essential response to the growing incidence and sophistication of fraud\, financial misconduct and governance failures within organizations. The application of forensic audit principles\, including the identification of fraud risk factors\, understanding fraud typologies\, and recognizing red flags\, is increasingly relevant in strengthening accountability and transparency. These aspects provide a foundation for examining how financial irregularities arise and how they can be detected through focused investigative approaches. \nEqually critical is the role of internal control systems in mitigating organizational risk. The design and implementation of effective internal controls\, guided by established frameworks such as the COSO Internal Control Framework\, form a core element of sound financial management. Weak or poorly implemented controls often expose organizations to fraud\, errors\, and non-compliance\, making the assessment of control environments a key area of focus in forensic audit engagements. \nThe interaction between internal controls and forensic audits underscores the importance of linking preventive and detective mechanisms. Understanding how control weaknesses create opportunities for fraud\, and how forensic audit techniques such as data analysis\, digital forensics\, and evidence gathering are applied when controls fail\, remains central to modern audit and assurance practices. Investigation processes and forensic reporting further support the communication of findings in a manner suitable for management\, regulators\, and legal proceedings. \nIn addition\, governance\, ethical considerations\, and regulatory requirements shape the effectiveness of both forensic audits and internal control systems. The responsibilities of auditors and finance professionals\, alongside emerging challenges such as technology-driven fraud and cyber risks\, continue to influence the evolution of forensic auditing. These developments highlight the need to remain responsive to new risks while reinforcing strong internal control and governance structures. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to Forensic Auditing: Principles\, Scope\, and the Forensic Audit Process\nTechniques and Best Practices in Forensic Auditing\nData Forensics in Action: Leveraging AI and Big Data to Strengthen Audit Trails and Internal Controls\n\n\nApplication of technology\, Data analytics\, and AI in forensic investigations and control testing.\n\n\nModern Fraud Landscape and Emerging Trends in Forensic Auditing\n\n\nOverview of current fraud schemes\nKey players\nEvolving fraud risks and regulatory developments.\n\n\nRisk Assessment and Fraud Risk Profiling for Organizations\n\n\nIdentifying\, assessing\, and prioritizing fraud risks across organizational processes and sectors.\n\n\nInternal Control Frameworks: Developing an effective Internal Control Framework (ICF)\nDeveloping Policies: Procedure manuals to support effective internal controls\nForensic Investigation Report Writing and Evidence Management\n\n\nDocumentation standards\, evidence handling\, and preparing reports that stand up \n\n\nEmbedding a Proactive Fraud Detection and Ethical Culture in the Workplace\n\n\nWhistleblowing mechanisms\nFostering ethical culture and building a sustainable “speak-up” and fraud-aware culture.\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 14 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:Financial Reporting Seminar - Western Branch
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nFinancial Reporting Seminar – Western Branch\nTheme:\nDate: 16th – 17th July 2026\nTime: 9.00 AM-15.30PM\nVenue: Amanda Hotel- Kakamega \nOverview \nThe global financial reporting environment continues to evolve rapidly\, driven by increased regulatory scrutiny\, technological transformation\, sustainability imperatives\, and growing stakeholder demand for transparent\, comparable\, and decision-useful financial information. In this environment\, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) remain central to promoting high-quality financial reporting\, enhancing consistency across jurisdictions\, and maintaining public confidence in the accounting and finance profession. Organizations are increasingly expected to provide financial reports that accurately reflect business performance while addressing broader risks and opportunities that influence long-term value creation. \nAccounting and finance professionals are therefore required to stay informed about new standards\, amendments\, interpretations\, and emerging implementation challenges. As transactions and reporting expectations become more complex\, professionals must apply sound technical expertise and professional judgment to ensure compliance\, accuracy\, and consistency in financial reporting. This Financial Reporting Seminar has been designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of current IFRS requirements and enhance their ability to apply the standards effectively in practical and increasingly complex reporting environments. \nRecent IFRS developments relating to financial instruments\, revenue recognition\, leases\, sustainability-related disclosures\, and the presentation of financial statements continue to have significant implications for recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure. In particular\, the introduction of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 represents a major shift toward integrating sustainability and climate-related information with traditional financial reporting. These standards require organizations to strengthen governance\, reporting processes\, and internal controls in order to meet evolving stakeholders and regulatory expectations. \nThe seminar will provide practical insights into navigating these developments and addressing common challenges in areas such as fair value measurement\, impairment assessments\, financial risk disclosures\, and sustainability reporting. Through practical illustrations\, case studies\, and interactive discussions\, participants will gain a deeper understanding of real-world application issues\, common reporting pitfalls\, and areas requiring significant professional judgment across different industries. \nBy bringing together technical experts\, practitioners\, preparers\, auditors\, and finance professionals in an interactive physical setting\, the seminar offers a valuable platform for strengthening technical competence\, sharing implementation experiences\, and discussing emerging trends in financial reporting. Ultimately\, the seminar reinforces the profession’s commitment to high-quality financial reporting\, transparency\, accountability\, and compliance with global best practices. \nKey Areas to be Covered  \n\n IFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information\n\n\nPurpose and objectives of IFRS S1\nRelationship with other sustainability frameworks (GRI\, TCFD)\nCore disclosure pillars: Governance\, Strategy\, Risk Management\, Metrics and Targets\n\n\n IFRS S2 – Climate-related Disclosures\n\n\nPurpose and scope of IFRS S2\nBoard oversight and governance of climate-related matters\nManagement’s role in identifying and managing climate risks and opportunities\nImpact of climate risks on business models\, strategy\, and financial planning\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions: metrics and targets\n\n\n GHG Emissions and Climate-related Financial Risk\n\n\nIntroduction to GHG emissions\nOverview of the GHG Protocol (Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 emissions)\nManaging climate risks and reducing emissions\nLink between climate-related risks and financial reporting\nDeveloping and implementing a transition plan\n\n\n The Sustainability Reporting Cycle\n\n\nAllocation of responsibility for sustainability reporting\nEstablishing the sustainability reporting landscape\nIdentification of material sustainability-related information\nDetermination of data requirements\nData collection\, validation\, and reporting\nImplementation and continuous improvement of sustainability reporting\n\n\n Financial Instruments: IFRS 9 and IFRS 7\n\nIFRS 9 – Financial Instruments \n\nClassification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities\nExpected Credit Loss (ECL) model and impairment considerations\nHedge accounting\nDerecognition\n\nIFRS 7 – Financial Instruments Disclosures \n\nCategories of financial instruments\nDisclosure of financial risks (credit\, liquidity\, and market risk)\nStatement of financial position disclosures\nImpairment and liquidity risk disclosures\n\n\n Other Key IFRS Developments Affecting Financial Reporting\n\nIFRS 16 – Leases \n\nLease identification and term determination\nRecognition and measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities\nLease modifications\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\n\nIFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers \n\nScope and recognition principles\nMeasurement of revenue\nContract costs\nPresentation and disclosure\n\nIFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements \n\nRevised income statement structure\nManagement-defined performance measures\nAggregation and disaggregation principles\nOther key changes affecting financial statements\nInterim financial reporting\nEffective date and transition considerations\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 those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 10\,000.
