SUMMARY:THE CFO FORUM
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE CFO FORUM\nDate: 5th November 2025\nVenue: Villa Rosa Kempinski\, Nairobi\nTime: 7.30 am – 11.00 am\nTheme: Unlocking Value of the Intelligent Enterprise – The Changing Role of the CFO in the Age of AI \nOverview \nArtificial intelligence (AI) is much more than another fancy trend in modern business but a lynchpin for driving efficiency and long-term value creation across the enterprise. Besides providing CFOs with a clear view of business drivers\, AI creates the much-needed link between financial strategy and overall business growth plans. AI driven predictive analytics have revolutionized decision making through forward looking insights marking the departure from the common practice of the CFO relying on backward-looking reports.\nAs the CFO role evolves from merely being a financial custodian to a strategic growth enabler\, better visibility of the emerging risks and speedy response to changing strategic factors is imperative. AI has continuously penetrated parts of the enterprise that had been dominated by human judgement creating room for discomfort among finance teams as they raise concerns about the value of their contribution in an AI-first finance function. For many finance teams especially the ones in the lower ranks\, the adoption of AI is perceived as a great shift of the nature of work that in all probability could render their jobs obsolete. Dealing with the finance teams’ anxiety about the push for AI represents one of the major challenges that the modern CFO face when pursuing the ambition to explore and capitalize on high-impact AI use cases across the organization. \nThe best AI solution comes from the best data\, and the best data comes from a unified suite of technology that centralizes data from every corner of the enterprise. Widespread AI adoption will require businesses to embrace AI governance across the data lifecycle to provide confidence to all stakeholders. Because of this\, when looking at managing and governing the deployment of AI solutions\, CFOs must prioritize data governance to mitigate sensitive data related risks. The evolution of AI is nothing short of a revolutionary shift of how CFOs foster innovation and streamline processes while balancing opportunities and challenges along the journey towards an AI enabled future. The CFO Forum discussions will be centered around the following key thematic areas: \n1) How is the CFO’s role changing with AI adoption\n2) Navigating potential challenges when adopting AI – Current user perspective\n3) The role of AI in driving strategic growth\n4) Strategies for easing AI adoption skepticism among the Finance Teams\n5) Data governance for AI – Challenges and best practice\n6) Practical AI product tour/Demo \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units):\nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 7 CPD Units upon successfully attending the Forum \nTarget Audience:\nCEOs\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors \nCost:\nCharges for the Forum will be Kes. 8\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Risk registers development course (Physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRisk Register Development Course (Physical Option)\nHybrid Event – CPA Centre and Virtual\n5th – 6th November 2025\nTheme- Strengthening Governance Through Effective Risk Register Development\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOverview \nRisk register development is a vital element of robust risk management and a cornerstone of organizational resilience. It offers a systematic and proactive method for identifying\, analyzing\, prioritizing\, and responding to risks that could impede the achievement of both strategic and operational goals. A well-designed risk register gives organizations clear visibility into potential threats\, facilitates accountability by assigning risk ownership\, and supports the tracking of mitigation actions. This process not only enhances the quality of decision-making but also encourages strong governance practices and cultivates a culture rooted in transparency and preparedness. \nAn effective risk register goes beyond simply recording risks. It should be built on a solid framework that classifies risks into categories\, applies clear assessment criteria such as likelihood and impact\, and links each identified risk to mitigation strategies and internal controls. To ensure its continued relevance\, the risk register must be dynamic\, evolving with changes in internal processes and the external environment. Integrating the risk register within a broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework ensures alignment with strategic objectives\, regulatory compliance\, and improved institutional accountability. \nCreating and maintaining a risk register is central to proactive risk management. It serves as a practical tool for identifying and monitoring risks throughout a project or across an organization. By documenting risks systematically and aligning them with mitigation strategies\, teams are better prepared to anticipate disruptions and allocate resources strategically. This contributes to more informed decision-making and reduces uncertainty by offering a clear\, up-to-date picture of potential threats and responses. Ultimately\, the risk register helps strengthen resilience and improve the chances of achieving long-term objectives. \nIn today’s complex and fast-changing business environment\, risk is no longer confined to isolated areas. Emerging challenges like cybersecurity threats\, geopolitical unrest\, regulatory shifts\, and climate-related disruptions are deeply interconnected. Treating risks as standalone issues\, especially through outdated spreadsheet-based registers\, can leave organizations vulnerable to cascading impacts. To adapt\, organizations must adopt modern risk management technologies\, such as integrated Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance (GRC) platforms. These systems offer real-time tracking\, risk interconnection mapping\, and enhanced scenario analysis\, transforming traditional registers into strategic decision-making tools. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this training to equip delegates with practical skills for developing modern\, globally aligned risk registers that meet today’s organizational demands. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics: \n\n Foundations of Risk Management for Accountants\n Structure and Components of an Effective Risk Register\n\n\nKey elements of a comprehensive risk register\, including risk description\, categories\, controls\, and mitigation strategies.\n\n\n Risk Identification Techniques and Stakeholder Engagement\n Risk Classification and Significance\n\n\nTypes of risks: strategic\, operational\, financial\, and compliance.\nRisk reputation and their impact on organizational performance.\n\n\n Effective Risk Assessment and Prioritization Techniques\n Strategic Risk Response and Mitigation Planning\n From Static to Strategic: Evolving the Risk Register – transforming traditional risk registers into dynamic tools that support integrated decision-making and real-time responsiveness.\n\n8.Leveraging Technology: GRC and Cloud-Based Risk Management – Utilizing Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance platforms and cloud-based solutions to improve risk tracking\, visualization\, and reporting. \n\n Professional Ethics and the Accountant’s Role in Risk Governance \n Developing and Reviewing Risk Registers Through Case Studies\n Conducting Scenario Analysis for Interrelated Risks\n\nTarget Audience: \nRisk Managers and Compliance Officers\, Risk Champions\, CFOs\, Accountants and other interested professionals \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover course 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.
