SUMMARY:THE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Non-Finance Professionals with Practical Financial Insights for Informed Decision-Making\nDate: 4th-8th May 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha. \nOVERVIEW \nIn today’s interconnected business environment\, financial literacy is no longer confined to accountants and finance specialists. Non-finance professionals\, such as managers in marketing\, operations\, HR\, or IT\, increasingly need to understand financial principles to contribute effectively to organizational success. Finance training equips them with the tools to interpret financial data\, make informed decisions\, and align their departmental goals with the company’s overall financial health. \nThere is a growing need for professionals in all fields to have a basic understanding of financial concepts that would enable them to contribute to organizational decision-making. Interpreting financial information and appreciating the consequences of budgetary decisions\, or understanding the financial health of an entity\, are no longer the exclusive domain of a finance department. As organizations increasingly adopt more integrated approaches to operations\, finance continues to play a central role in ensuring transparency\, sustainability\, and responsible resource allocation. Enhancing financial competencies among staff outside the finance function supports better governance structures\, reduces risk\, and enhances the effective monitoring of performance \nOne of the primary benefits of finance training for non-finance professionals is enhanced decision-making. By understanding key concepts like budgeting and cost control\, non finance professionals will be able evaluate the financial implications of their choices\, leading to more strategic and profitable outcomes. This empowers them to identify opportunities for cost savings and revenue growth within their roles. \nThis finance training will also bridge communication gaps between departments. Non-finance staff often collaborate with finance teams on projects or reports. With basic financial knowledge\, they can speak the “language of finance\,” ask relevant questions\, and provide meaningful input\, fostering better teamwork and reducing misunderstandings. The conference will delve into reading and interpreting financial statements—the balance sheet\, income statement\, and cash flow statement. These documents provide a snapshot of a company’s financial position\, performance\, and liquidity\, allowing professionals to assess health and spot potential issues early. The discussions will bridge the gap in knowledge by equipping the non-finance professional with fundamental financial concepts supportive of informed decision-making\, accountability\, and performance improvement across roles and sectors. \nThe ABCs of Finance for Non-Finance Professionals Conference aims to demystify core areas of finance perceived to be complex. The approach is designed to give participants insights\, in a practical way\, into how financial systems work\, what the financial statements really say\, and how financial plans drive strategy and operational priorities. This conference offers an enabling\, yet simplified\, approach toward financial literacy\, empowering professionals to engage confidently with financial conversations and meaningfully contribute to organizational planning and control processes. \nAt the end of the conference\, participants should be able to appreciate how to interpret financial information; understand how budgets are prepared; analyze the performance of an organization; and assist executives in strategic resource allocation decisions. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the conference: \n\nIntroduction to Financial Management – Understanding the role of finance in organizational operations and decision-making.\nUnderstanding Key Financial Statements – A practical guide to interpreting the statement of financial position\, income statement\, and cash flow statement.\nBudgeting and Budgetary Controls – How budgets are prepared\, monitored\, and applied to manage resources effectively.\nCost Management and Cost Behaviour – Key concepts in identifying\, classifying\, and managing costs within different operational settings.\nWorking Capital and Cash Flow Essentials – Appreciating the importance of liquidity\, short-term financing\, and operational cash flow.\nFinancial Ratios and Performance Analysis – How to evaluate financial performance and organizational health using simple analytical tools.\nInternal Controls and Risk Awareness for Non-Finance Staff – Strengthening accountability and safeguarding organizational resources.\nLinking Finance to Strategy and Decision-Making – Understanding how financial insights support long-term planning and strategic initiatives.\nEthics\, Compliance\, and Governance Considerations – Building awareness of ethical responsibilities and compliance requirements influencing financial operations.\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course targets professionals from various fields who need to use financial information regularly in their interactions or organizational planning and decision-making. It will also be of relevance and great value to managers and supervisors in operations\, human resources\, procurement\, administration\, project management\, and corporate services who seek a stronger foundation in the concepts of finance for improving their effectiveness.

SUMMARY:THE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS AND LEADERS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS & LEADERS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Men for Transformative Leadership in Different Spheres\nDate: 11th – 15th May 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nThe Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference is designed as a premium platform for bringing together male professionals in the accounting\, finance\, and leadership spheres to reflect upon the evolving role they play in today’s corporate and socio-economic environment. With the relentless evolution of the workplaces supported by technological innovation\, regulatory changes\, and a call for a new orientation of leadership\, men in the profession will need to continuously reboot their skills\, mindset\, and approaches to leadership. \nJob skills training forms the technical foundation for success in professional men’s lives across all professions. Little emphasis is given to life skills such as personal finance management\, communication\, emotional intelligence\, leadership\, and resilience to ensure professional men are equipped with a well-rounded skill set for success in the workplace and home. The modern workplace is also experiencing continuous disruption from technology calling for upskilling and continuous learning. Increasingly\, the key to thriving in the future workplace will be the ability to harness the power of technology while addressing the ethical and social issues that come with a digitally transformed workplace. \nOne crucial topic for men in leadership is emotional intelligence. Traditional expectations often discourage men from expressing vulnerability or empathy\, yet modern leadership demands self-awareness and the ability to read and manage emotions in oneself and others. Developing emotional intelligence allows male leaders to build stronger relationships\, resolve conflicts effectively\, and foster trust within teams. By embracing empathy alongside assertiveness\, men can move beyond outdated stereotypes of stoicism and lead with greater authenticity and impact in diverse workplaces. \nAnother important area is inclusive leadership and allyship. As workplaces evolve toward greater gender equity\, men in leadership positions must actively support diversity by challenging biases\, promoting inclusive decision-making\, and serving as allies to underrepresented groups. This involves recognizing privileges associated with traditional male traits in leadership and using influence to create environments where all voices are valued. Male leaders who prioritize inclusion not only enhance team performance but also contribute to broader organizational and societal progress. \nMental health and personal well-being represent a vital topic\, particularly amid rising reports of isolation and stress among men. Leaders face immense pressure to provide and perform\, often leading to burnout or suppressed emotions. Prioritizing resilience\, seeking mentorship\, and modeling healthy habits—such as work-life balance and emotional literacy—enable men to sustain long-term effectiveness. Addressing personal health head-on prevents crises and sets a positive example for teams. \nAdapting to modern challenges\, including economic insecurity and rapid change\, is essential for male leaders. Many men grapple with shifting roles in a world of automation\, remote work\, and evolving expectations of masculinity. Cultivating adaptability\, continuous learning\, and strategic thinking helps navigate these uncertainties while maintaining purpose and connection. \nFinally\, balancing strength with vulnerability defines contemporary male leadership. Integrating traditional qualities like decisiveness and vision with openness\, humility\, and relational skills creates a more holistic approach. Men who seek role models\, process past experiences\, and build supportive networks lead not through dominance alone but through empowered\, collaborative influence that inspires lasting loyalty and results. \nThe entry of younger generations in the workforce has also become a major disruptor of the rule based traditional workplace. However\, future ready companies see the existence of a multigenerational diversity as a great advantage and work tirelessly to unlock the benefits of a multigenerational workplace by leveraging the strengths of each generation. \nComplementing the technical and leadership-focused discussions\, the conference will cover holistic wellbeing\, work-life balance\, and personal development\, recognizing that effective leadership is developed not only through professional competencies but also in emotionally resilient and purposeful living. The Inaugural Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference aims to create a reflective space\, networking opportunities\, and mentorship for the nurturing of all-round leaders who have the potential to make positive changes within organizations and greater society. The conference will seek to inspire its participants to achieve excellence\, integrity\, and adaptability as fundamental attributes through keynote sessions\, panel conversations\, and practical insights from distinguished leaders. \nThe following are topics to be discussed during the conference: \n\nModern Leadership for the Male Professional\nInclusive Leadership & Allyship – the Pinnacle of Survival\nEmotional Intelligence & Vulnerable Leadership for Men \nRecognizing and Countering Toxic Masculinity Patterns in Leadership\nPower Dynamics and How Male Leaders Can Redistribute Influence \nMen’s Role in Fostering Inclusive and High-Performing Teams\nMentoring vs. Sponsoring: Why Male Leaders Need to Do More of the Latter\nFinancial Stewardship in the Family\nWork–Life Balance and Personal Well-Being for Professional Men\nMental health\, stress management and resilience\nMan Talk- Panel Discussion on the leadership journey of renowned leaders\nEstate Planning for Male Leaders \nDealing with and Overcoming Divorce \nFuture-of-Work Leadership: AI\, Gen Z expectations\, and the end of traditional “alpha” styles\nBook Review: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl- In depth insights into finding purpose\, even in extreme adversity- a core component of resilient leadership\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe conference targets male professionals from all professional backgrounds doubling up as a mentorship and empowerment forum.  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the conference. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n1.

SUMMARY:RISK CHAMPIONS WORKSHOP 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRISK CHAMPIONS WORKSHOP\nTheme: Empowering Risk Champions to strengthen organization resilience and governance\n27th – 29th May 2026\nEka Hotel\, Eldoret \nOverview \nIn today’s dynamic and uncertain business environment\, organizations are exposed to a wide range of risks that can affect strategy execution\, operational performance\, and long-term sustainability. Effective risk management is therefore essential\, and Risk Champions play a vital role in embedding a proactive risk culture across the organization. By linking day-to-day operational realities with strategic oversight\, Risk Champions strengthen governance\, promote accountability\, and enhance organizational resilience. \nDeveloping Risk Champions goes beyond basic awareness of risk concepts. It involves equipping individuals with practical skills to identify emerging risks\, assess their potential impact\, prioritize responses\, and implement appropriate mitigation measures. Acting as the first line of defense\, Risk Champions monitor risk exposures\, coordinate risk information across departments\, and ensure alignment with organizational objectives and regulatory requirements. This proactive approach supports informed decision-making\, improves transparency\, and reinforces stakeholder confidence. \nModern risk environments are increasingly complex and interconnected\, organizations must therefore adopt integrated frameworks and technology-enabled solutions\, including Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance (GRC) platforms\, to enhance real-time risk tracking\, scenario analysis\, and enterprise-wide visibility\, thereby positioning risk management as a strategic decision-support function. \nThe Risk Champions Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the ERM process and its key components\, including risk appetite\, governance structures\, and roles and responsibilities. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this workshop to equip participants with practical skills\, insights\, and tools to function as proactive Risk Champions who can influence governance\, decision-making\, and enterprise risk management at all levels. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nOverview of Risk Management and Processes   \n \n·         What is Risk and Risk Management? \n·         Types of Risks \n·         Risk Management Approaches and Risk Management Processes (ISO 31000) \n·         Risk Management Structure \n·         Risk Identification and assessment\n\n\nRisk Identification and Formulation  \n \n·         Risk Classification\, \n·         Risk Assessment (Identification and Analysis) \n·         Risk Formulation (The Cause-and-Effect Relationship of Risk)\n\n\nRisk Ranking and Treatment  \n \n·         Risk Prioritization and Ranking (The Risk Ranking Matrix) \n·         Risk Assessment and Prioritization Techniques (Practical) \n·         Risk Evaluation \n·         Risk Tolerance and Risk Capacity \n·         Risk Monitoring and Reviewing\,\n\n\nDAY 2\nRisk Matrix and review of Risk Registers (practical) \n  \n \n·         Application of the Risk Matrix \n·         Establishing Risk Registers \n·         Risk Appetite\n\n\nRisk Control   \n \n·         Organizational Resilience and Business Continuity Planning \n·         Risk Control Techniques \n·         Using Key Risk Indicators (KRI’s) \n·         Risk Registers Development \n·         Risk Management Challenges \n·         Risk Maturity\n\n\nRisk Management Implementation  \n \n·         Risk Management Framework \n·         Risk Strategy \n·         Risk Governance \n·         Risk Readiness Checklist \n·         Leading Practices in Risk management Implementation\n\n\nDAY 3\nDriving ERM Initiatives and Implementation Projects: Design to Integration \n·         Overall ERM process\, including governance\, execution\, and reporting.\n\n\nLeveraging Technology: GRC and Cloud-Based Risk Management (Practical) \n \n·         Utilizing Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance platforms and cloud-based solutions to improve risk tracking\, visualization\, and reporting.\n\n\nRisk Mitigation Planning and Scenario Analysis (Practical)\n·         Developing risk responses (avoid\, reduce\, transfer\, accept) \n·         Creating action plans \n·         Testing controls through real-life scenarios\n\n\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Risk Champions\, Risk / Compliance Officers and Managers \,Internal Audit Function \,Internal Control Function \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \n\n2.   Delegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements  \nONLINE BOOKING:\nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking We call on workshop participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com and will close one day before the training session.
