SUMMARY:PFM and Emerging Tax Issues Seminar Eastern Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPFM and Emerging Tax Issues Seminar Eastern Branch\nDate: 5th -6th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30\nVenue: Kyaka Hotel- Machakos \nOverview \nThis seminar\, organized by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK)\, aims to improve understanding of the relationship between PFM reforms and the implementation of IPSAS accruals. During the event\, insights and experiences in accrual accounting\, particularly in the public sector\, along with the attendant challenges\, will be shared. \nPublic Financial Management (PFM) is an important element in promoting financial discipline\, transparency\, and accountability in public fund management. Managing public funds using PFM best practices ensures efficient budgeting\, accurate financial statement reporting\, and informed decision-making\, thereby improving public-sector management and service delivery. More recent efforts to improve PFM have increasingly used accrual-based accounting systems to enhance the relevance and accuracy of financial reports. \nThe adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis is a major milestone in public-sector financial reporting. IPSAS Accrual provides a framework for recognizing\, measuring\, and reporting assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses\, enabling a clearer picture of the financial position and performance. Although IPSAS Accrual is widely recognized for its benefits\, it is highly technical and demanding to implement. \nThe objective of the PFM and IPSAS Accrual seminar is to build capacity for professionals in the public finance community by enhancing their knowledge of PFM systems and how IPSAS Accrual is applied in practice. The seminar aims to examine all necessary dimensions\, both theoretical and operational\, for successful implementation. The participants are expected to have improved knowledge of PFM structures and processes\, a deeper understanding of the application of the IPSAS Accrual standard\, and greater insight into common implementation-related challenges. The participants will also be able to make efforts to improve the quality of financial reporting\, accountability\, and public-sector financial management. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the seminar: \nPublic Financial Management Frameworks and Reform Agenda\n• Objectives and key pillars of PFM\n• Integration of budgeting\, accounting\, reporting\, and oversight \nIntroduction to IPSAS Accrual Accounting\n• Conceptual foundations and principles of accrual accounting\n• Comparison between cash-based and accrual-based accounting \nTransition to IPSAS Accrual\n• Implementation strategies and phased approaches\n• Institutional and systems readiness \nAccounting for Assets and Liabilities in the Public Sector\n• Recognition and Measurement of public infrastructure and heritage assets\n• Treatment of liabilities\, provisions\, and contingent items \nFinancial Reporting and Disclosures under IPSAS Accrual\n• Components of accrual-based financial statements\n• Enhanced disclosure requirements and accountability \nImplementation Challenges and Practical Considerations\n• Data\, valuation\, and capacity constraints\n• Change management and stakeholder engagement \nOversight\, Audit\, and the Role of Professional Accountants\n• Assurance and compliance expectations\n• Supporting sustainable PFM and IPSAS reforms \nTarget Audience: \nThis seminar will be useful to professionals in Spheres. \nYour Financial Commitment \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \n CPD Units \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 CPD Units upon successfully attending all sessions. \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.   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. \n National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement:\nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

It encompasses key processes such as budgeting\, planning\, and resource allocation\, which form the foundation of sound financial governance in the public sector. A strong PFM framework supports informed decision-making\, enhances public trust\, and aligns financial management with national development priorities. \nThe global shift from cash-based to accrual-based accounting\, guided by International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS)\, has significantly improved the quality and credibility of public sector financial reporting. Accrual accounting provides a comprehensive view of an entity’s financial position by recognizing assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses when they occur. Understanding the concepts\, objectives\, and practical implications of IPSAS accrual is essential for strengthening accountability and long-term financial planning. \nIn an accrual environment\, budgeting\, financial planning\, and internal controls assume greater importance. The integration of accrual information into budgeting and performance monitoring enhances resource management\, while effective internal controls and audit considerations support compliance and risk management. Experience and best practices from entities that have implemented IPSAS accrual provide valuable insights into addressing common implementation challenges. \nThe application of IPSAS accrual standards is supported by appropriate tools\, systems\, policies\, and continuous capacity building. Robust accounting systems\, clear policy frameworks\, and technical guidance enable consistent and sustainable adoption of accrual accounting\, contributing to improved financial governance\, transparency\, and professionalism in the public sector. \nThe following topics will be covered: \n\nPrinciples of Public Finance Management (PFM) in Kenya\n\n\nOverview of the legal\, institutional\, and governance framework underpinning public finance management.\n\n\nBudget Preparation\, Execution\, and Financial Planning in Kenya’s National and County Governments\n\n\nBudget cycle and preparation processes at national and county governments\nBudget–procurement linkage and cash flow management\nZero-based and performance-based budgeting in Kenya\nUse of performance indicators to enhance efficiency and accountability\n\n\nPublic Procurement and Payment for Goods and Services\n\n\nPending Bills\nProvisions relating to County Governments\nEffects of non- compliance with requirements\n\n\nFoundations of IPSAS Accrual Accounting \n\n\nIntroduction to IPSAS Accrual. \nAccrual vs. Cash-Based IPSAS Standards \nObjectives\, scope\, and benefits of transitioning from cash to accrual basis IPSAS \n\n\nIPSAS 33: First-Time Adoption of IPSAS Accrual Basis \nIPSAS 24 presentation of budget information in financial statements \n\n\nRequired disclosures \nComparison of budget and actual amounts \nMaterial differences\n\n\nIPSAS 39: Employee Benefits\n\n\nDifferences between IPSAS 39 & IPSAS 25\nRecognition and Measurement of Employee Benefits obligation\nValuation of Benefits at Fair Value\nTermination Benefits\nEmployee Benefit Liabilities and their impact on Public Sector Finances\n\n\nDisclosure\, Transparency\, and Accountability under IPSAS Accrual\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 Kes. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:Taxation Workshop Nyanza Branch (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTaxation Workshop (Nyanza Branch) Mandatory Training\nTheme: Leveraging Tax Incentives for Economic Growth and Investment\nDate: 10th – 11th December 2025\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Acacia Premier Hotel\, Kisumu\n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nKenya’s tax landscape is undergoing continuous transformation\, influenced by both international developments and local policy shifts\, particularly within the growing digital economy. The enactment of the Tax Procedures Act and subsequent tax reforms have introduced more rigorous compliance obligations\, stiffer penalties\, and automation aimed at boosting accountability and transparency within the tax system. While these efforts enhance the overall efficiency of tax administration\, they also present added challenges for businesses\, increasing operational costs and complicating compliance. To adapt effectively\, taxpayers must gain a solid understanding of core tax areas such as corporate tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and withholding tax\, as well as the implications of digital service taxation. Practical guidance and case studies can help navigate this complex environment and foster strategic compliance. \nWith growing regulatory scrutiny\, businesses must elevate tax compliance as a strategic priority by adopting effective tax risk management practices. Establishing internal tax functions has become essential for identifying potential exposures and avoiding disruptions such as audits\, penalties\, and agency notices. Programs like tax amnesties and voluntary disclosures offer a pathway for taxpayers to rectify past non-compliance without incurring excessive penalties. Additionally\, the increasing application of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms has proven effective in resolving tax disputes more amicably and efficiently\, easing the litigation burden and promoting better relationships between taxpayers and authorities. \nRecent fiscal policies introduced by the Kenya Kwanza administration have sparked intense public discourse\, with some measures triggering widespread discontent\, including protests like those seen in June 2024. A major concern among stakeholders is the rising cost of doing business\, which has prompted some multinational companies to shift operations to neighboring countries with more favorable tax regimes. These developments underscore the profound impact taxation has on business sustainability\, investment decisions\, and economic competitiveness. Navigating this volatile environment requires businesses to stay informed and agile in responding to new regulations and shifting tax obligations. \nIn response to the changing tax terrain and its implications for both local and multinational firms\, the Institute has organized a two-day\, in-person workshop targeting ICPAK members and public finance professionals. This training aims to enhance participants’ technical knowledge and practical application of tax laws\, offering in-depth analysis of recent legislative updates\, tax incentives\, and compliance strategies.Through this forum\, professionals will be better equipped to manage tax risks\, remain compliant\, and support their organizations in navigating Kenya’s increasingly complex tax regime. To guide the discussion during the Seminar\, the following topics of discussion will form the focus of this very important workshop: \n\nTax Risk Management\, Planning\, and the Role of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – Strategies for managing tax risks\, importance of internal tax functions\, and the increasing relevance of ADR in resolving tax disputes efficiently.\nIn-Depth Technical Session: Corporate Tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and Withholding Tax\n\n\nA comprehensive review of the latest developments in corporate tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and withholding tax.\nPractical case studies and strategies for managing these tax obligations efficiently.\n\n\nEffective Tax Risk Management Strategies\n\n\nIdentifying and mitigating key tax risks for businesses and individuals.\nBest practices for maintaining compliance while minimizing liabilities.\nTax Compliance\, planning and management of Risk\nTax Amnesty and Voluntary tax disclosure and Role of Tax Incentives and Tax Compliance\n\n\nTax Procedures Act and Recent Tax Amendments: Implications for Compliance and Enforcement\n\n\nkey provisions of the Tax Procedures Act\, new filing procedures\, penalties\, and automation efforts to support transparency and accountability.\nA detailed analysis of recent changes in tax law and their impact on different sectors.\nStrategies for businesses to adapt and comply with evolving tax regulations.\nTax dispute resolution mechanisms- the efficacy alternative dispute resolution in enhancing tax compliance\n\n\nTax Incentives and Compliance: Evaluating the Impact on Investment and Economic Growth\n\n\nKenya’s tax incentive regime\, including voluntary disclosure and tax amnesty programs\, and how they influence compliance and development.\n\n\nNavigating the Taxation of the Digital Economy: Local Implementation and Global Trends\n\n\nExploration of digital service tax laws\, international tax developments\, and their implications for businesses operating in the digital space.\n\n\nEmerging Tax Issues: Trends and Future Outlook\n\n\nExploring emerging tax challenges and opportunities.\nKRA Special Table\nAddressing the evolving tax landscape with a focus on global and local developments.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis seminar 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 seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:IFRS and Accrual Accounting Workshop  (South Rift Branch)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS and Accrual Accounting Workshop (South Rift Branch)\nDate: 6th -7th November 2025\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Enkipai Hill\, Narok\nTheme: Advancing Financial Transparency and Accountability Through IFRS and Accrual-Based Reporting \nOverview \nInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)\, established by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)\, form the cornerstone of globally accepted accounting practices that prioritize transparency\, comparability\, and reliability in financial reporting. IFRS facilitates consistent reporting across diverse countries and industries\, this consistency is crucial in a global economy where businesses operate across borders and investors depend on uniform information to make well-informed decisions. At the core of IFRS is accrual accounting\, a principle that requires financial transactions to be recorded when they occur rather than when cash is exchanged. This enables organizations to reflect revenues and expenses in the periods they are earned or incurred\, resulting in a more accurate and comprehensive view of financial health and performance. Core standards such as IAS 1\, IFRS 15\, and IFRS 9 offer detailed frameworks for financial statement presentation\, revenue recognition\, and financial instrument management\, respectively. \nThe adoption of accrual accounting\, grounded in IFRS principles\, is increasingly recognized as a strategic priority for both public and private sector entities worldwide. This accounting approach promotes financial transparency\, enhances accountability\, and supports better decision making by providing stakeholders with timely\, relevant\, and meaningful financial information. While historically more prevalent in the private sector\, public sector institutions are also moving toward accrual-based reporting\, aligning themselves with international frameworks like IFRS and the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This shift acknowledges the growing need for more robust financial reporting mechanisms capable of capturing the full scope of an organization’s financial activities. \nTraditionally\, many public entities have relied on cash-based accounting\, a method that records transactions only when cash is received or paid. However\, this system has significant limitations\, it fails to account for long-term obligations\, asset depreciation\, and other non-cash financial elements that are vital for understanding an entity’s complete financial position. In contrast\, IFRS-based accrual accounting provides a more holistic and accurate representation by recognizing financial events as they occur\, regardless of cash flow. This transition to accrual methods not only improves the quality of financial reporting but also builds a stronger foundation for fiscal sustainability and strategic planning. \nThe growing global momentum toward IFRS and accrual accounting is driven by several factors: the inadequacies of cash-based systems\, the increasing availability and adoption of international standards\, the integration of professional accounting practices into public financial management\, and advancements in financial technology that facilitate complex reporting requirements. IFRS standards such as IAS 1\, IFRS 15\, and IFRS 16 (Leases) offer comprehensive guidance on the recognition\, measurement\, and disclosure of financial information\, thereby enhancing its credibility and global comparability. This workshop aims to prepare financial professionals to effectively implement these standards\, offering hands-on knowledge of accrual-based reporting\, deepening understanding of key IFRS requirements\, and examining their broader implications for organizational financial practices. \nThe following topics will be covered during the workshop: \n\nOverview of IPSAS- First Time Adoption of Accrual Basis \nIPSAS Accrual Templates \nIFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers\n\n\nOverview of IFRS 15\nThe five-step revenue recognition model\nRevenue Recognition Principles\nTiming and measurement of revenue under accrual accounting\n\n\nRecognition and Measurement of Assets and Liabilities\n\n\nPrinciples for recognizing non-cash items such as receivables\, payables and provisions\nDepreciation\, amortization\, and impairment\nMeasurement methods: historical cost vs. fair value\nApplication of IFRS standards (e.g.\, IAS 37\, IAS 16)\n\n\nIFRS 16-Lease Accounting\n\n\nObjective of IFRS 16\nScope\nIdentifying a lease\nAccounting for Leases\nRecognizing\, Measuring and Disclosing lease agreements from both lessee and lessor perspectives\nSale and Leaseback Transactions\n\n\nAccounting for Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)\n\n\nClassification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities\nImpairment under expected credit loss model\nHedge accounting principles and applications\nDisclosure and risk reporting requirements\n\n\nIFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\n\n\nScope of IFRS 18\nKey components\, disclosures\, and compliance requirements.\nRevenue Recognition Principles\nMeasurement of Revenue\nDisclosure Requirements\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 seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.
