SUMMARY:THE IFRS MASTER CLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IFRS MASTER CLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training) \nTheme: Navigating the Complexities of Internal Financial Reporting Standards \nDate: 13th -17th July 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Radisson Blu Hotel\, Upper Hill Nairobi \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nThe global financial reporting landscape is undergoing significant transformation driven by heightened expectations for transparency\, comparability\, and the integration of sustainability information into mainstream reporting. In response\, the IFRS Masterclass is designed as an intensive programme aimed at strengthening technical competence in both financial and sustainability reporting frameworks\, while enhancing professional judgement in complex reporting environments. \nThe programme provides a comprehensive coverage of key International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)\, emerging sustainability disclosure requirements\, and specialised reporting frameworks. It equips participants with practical skills to interpret\, apply\, and critically evaluate financial reporting standards in a manner that supports high-quality\, decision-useful financial information. \nCore financial reporting areas include IFRS 18 on Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\, IFRS 7 on Financial Instruments Disclosures\, IAS 24 on Related Party Disclosures\, and IAS 29 on Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. These topics strengthen participants’ ability to enhance disclosure quality\, improve transparency in financial instruments\, and address the impact of economic volatility on financial reporting. \nThe Masterclass also delves into IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards\, with a focus on IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. Participants will explore the selection and reporting of sustainability metrics and targets\, scenario analysis\, greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting\, and the integration of climate-related risks into strategic and financial decision-making. This ensures alignment with global and local ESG reporting expectations and emerging investor demands. \nSpecialised technical areas are also covered\, including IFRS 16 on Leases\, with emphasis on recognition\, measurement\, and disclosure of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. In addition\, participants are introduced to the International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)\, including their structure\, applicability\, and relationship with IFRS and IPSAS frameworks\, particularly within the non-profit reporting environment. \nFurther technical depth is provided through IFRS 5 on Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations\, IFRS 17 on Insurance Contracts\, and IAS 26 on Accounting and Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans. These standards address advanced issues relating to classification\, measurement\, actuarial assumptions\, and disclosure requirements in specialised reporting contexts. \nThe programme concludes with applied insights drawn from financial reporting review outcomes\, highlighting common compliance gaps and emerging trends in practice. This is complemented by a practical session on investing in the stock exchange. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
