SUMMARY:THE IPSAS MASTERCLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IPSAS MASTERCLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Driving Sustainable Public Value through High-Quality Reporting\nDate: 24th – 28th August 2026\nVenue: Enashipai Resort & Spa\, Naivasha\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe role of public sector financial reporting continues to evolve beyond traditional stewardship and compliance objectives. Governments and public sector entities are increasingly expected to demonstrate how public resources are managed to create sustainable public value\, strengthen fiscal resilience\, enhance service delivery\, and respond to emerging economic\, social\, and environmental challenges. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) continue to play a critical role in promoting transparency\, accountability\, and comparability in public sector financial reporting. At the same time\, new developments in sustainability reporting\, climate-related financial disclosures\, natural resource accounting\, government finance statistics\, public sector digital transformation\, and public financial management reforms are reshaping the reporting landscape globally. \nIn Kenya\, the implementation of IPSAS Accrual remains a strategic national priority under the Constitution\, the Public Finance Management Act\, and broader public sector reform initiatives. As public sector institutions seek to strengthen accountability and improve decision-making\, there is an increasing need for finance professionals to understand not only the technical requirements of IPSAS but also how financial reporting supports public value creation\, fiscal sustainability\, and stakeholder trust. \nRecognizing these developments\, this Masterclass aims to provide participants with deep technical and strategic insights into emerging IPSAS developments\, sustainability-related reporting\, public sector reforms\, and implementation challenges. The Masterclass will bring together accountants\, auditors\, regulators\, policymakers\, public finance practitioners\, and development partners to share experiences\, discuss emerging issues\, and explore practical solutions to contemporary public sector reporting challenges. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five days covering various aspects:
