Today\, organizations are increasingly required to provide transparent\, reliable and decision-useful financial and sustainability information to meet the needs of investors\, creditors\, lenders and other stakeholders. \nConsequently\, IFRSs continue to undergo important developments\, significantly affecting financial statement preparation\, particularly in the private sector. Similarly\, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) remain central to strengthening public financial management by enhancing transparency\, accountability and comparability in public sector financial reporting. \nAt the same time\, the transition towards low-carbon economies has elevated carbon markets and carbon credits from niche environmental concepts to strategic financial and sustainability considerations. Governments\, regulators\, investors and organizations increasingly recognize carbon credits as an important mechanism for climate action\, emissions reduction and sustainable finance. As organizations participate in voluntary and compliance carbon markets\, finance professionals are expected to understand the accounting\, reporting\, governance and commercial implications of carbon credit transactions. \nThese developments have expanded the role of professional accountants beyond traditional financial reporting to include sustainability reporting\, climate-related financial disclosures and strategic advisory services. \nThe proposed two-day training workshop is designed to equip professional accountants with up-to-date knowledge and practical insights into the latest developments in IFRS and IPSAS\, including new standards\, amendments and emerging issues affecting financial reporting. In addition\, the workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of carbon credit accounting and reporting. This will enable them to understand the growing intersection between financial reporting\, sustainability\, and climate-related disclosures. \nThe following are topics to be discussed during the training: \n\nRecent developments in IFRSs\nAn update on new and amended IFRS and their practical implications for financial reporting.\nKey selected IFRSs \nPractical guidance on the application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 18\, including leading practices for compliance and common challenges.\nRecent developments in IPSASs\nAn overview of new and revised IPSAS standards and their impact on public sector financial reporting and accountability.\nKey selected IPSASs \nDiscussion of common implementation challenges\, lessons learned\, and strategies for improving financial reporting quality in the public sector.\nIntroduction to Carbon credits  \nAn introduction to carbon markets\, carbon credits\, and their role in climate change mitigation and sustainable development.\nCarbon credits accounting & reporting  An overview of the emerging accounting\, measurement\, reporting\, and disclosure considerations relating to carbon credit transactions.\n\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.
