SUMMARY:ANNUAL GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIEDPUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL GOVERNANCE & ETHICS CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme: Navigating Complexity: Governance & Ethics in an Era of Disruption\nVENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH HOTEL AND SPA MOMBASA\nDATE: 12TH TO 16TH OCTOBER 2026\nTIME: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nIt is widely recognized that governance and ethics are critical to organizational sustainability\, stakeholder trust and long-term value creation. Strong governance and ethical leadership promote accountability\, transparency and responsible stewardship. Together\, they form the foundation of resilient and successful organizations. \nIn recent years\, Kenya’s governance landscape has evolved significantly. Heightened regulatory scrutiny\, rapid technological advancements\, growing sustainability requirements\, and rising stakeholder expectations have reshaped the governance agenda. Consequently\, boards\, executives\, and professionals now operate in a more complex environment and are expected to uphold higher standards of accountability\, transparency and ethical conduct. \nWithin the Kenyan context\, good governance is anchored on constitutional principles\, legal frameworks and regulatory requirements. These frameworks promote integrity\, fairness\, accountability and prudent management of resources. However\, compliance alone is no longer sufficient. Organizations must foster ethical cultures that are supported by strong leadership and effective governance structures. When leaders set the right tone at the top\, ethical behaviour becomes embedded throughout the organization. \nOrganizations are also facing a growing range of risks. Traditional challenges such as fraud\, conflicts of interest\, weak internal controls\, and financial misreporting remain prevalent. At the same time\, new risks have emerged from digital transformation\, cybersecurity threats\, data privacy concerns\, artificial intelligence and evolving regulatory requirements. These challenges require robust risk management systems\, effective internal controls and clear accountability mechanisms. \nA strong governance framework also encourages openness and transparency. Organizations should cultivate a culture where employees and stakeholders can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Effective whistleblowing mechanisms and speak-up cultures help detect misconduct early\, strengthen accountability and protect organizational integrity. \nGovernance today extends beyond compliance and oversight. Boards are increasingly expected to provide strategic leadership\, oversee risk and performance and drive long-term sustainability. Environmental\, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations have become an integral part of corporate strategy. Equally important is transparent engagement with stakeholders through meaningful communication and sustainability reporting. \nAs organizations embrace digital transformation and automation\, ethical considerations must remain at the forefront of decision-making. Leaders must ensure that technology is deployed responsibly and in a manner that aligns with organizational values\, regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. Particular attention must be given to data governance\, cybersecurity\, artificial intelligence and digital ethics. \nIn this rapidly changing environment\, organizations require governance systems that are compliant\, ethical\, agile\, and future-ready. Continuous learning\, adaptive leadership\, and adherence to global best practices are essential for long-term success. Boards\, executives\, and professionals must therefore remain informed of emerging governance and ethics trends to effectively discharge their responsibilities. \nThe ICPAK Annual Governance and Ethics Conference provides an opportunity for professionals\, board directors\, executives and other leaders to explore these emerging issues and share practical experiences. The Conference aims to strengthen governance practices\, promote ethical leadership and equip participants with the tools needed to navigate an increasingly complex business environment. \nThe training will cover the following topics: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 2\nKeynote Address \n·         Keynote address on navigating complexity: governance & leadership in an era of disruption\n\n\nEthical Leadership in Uncertain Times\n·         Setting the tone at the top \n·         Leading with integrity under pressure \n·         Building ethical organizational cultures \n·         Restoring trust through leadership accountability\n\n\nBoard Effectiveness & Governance Excellence\n·         Root causes of governance failures \n·         Characteristics of high-performing boards \n·         Board independence and objectivity \n·         Board evaluations and succession planning \n·         Strengthening board-management relationships & oversight\n\n\nConflict of Interest and Ethical Decision Making \n·         Identifying and managing conflicts \n·         Related-party transactions \n·         Ethical dilemmas in leadership positions \n·         Practical case studies\n\n\nThe Role of Ethics and Governance in Driving Sustainable Taxation\n·         Ethics and taxation \n·         Governance as a driving force for sustainable taxation\n\n\nGovernance of Emerging Risks \n·         Strategic risk oversight \n·         Enterprise Risk Management \n·         Risk culture & governance\n\n\nRegulatory Compliance and Governance Expectations \n·         Emerging regulatory developments \n·         Compliance beyond checklists \n·         The roles of boards and executives\n\n\n \nCybersecurity and Data Governance\n·         Board responsibilities for cyber risk \n·         Data Protection and Privacy obligations \n·         Governance of digital assets \n·         Ethics in the age of Artificial Intelligence\n\n\nDAY 3\nSustainability and Governance \n \n·         Board oversight of sustainability \n·         Sustainability and climate-related governance risks \n·         ICPAK Sustainability Reporting adoption roadmap and the status to date\n\n\nPublic Sector Governance challenges & opportunities \n·         Remarks from EACC on recent governance & ethical challenges and opportunities in the public sector \n·         Accountability and stewardship of public resources\n\n\nLeadership\, culture and organizational resilience \n·         Creating and sustaining resilient organizations based on practical case studies \n·         Managing change & transformation \n·         Leadership succession and continuity\n\n\nDAY 4\nFuture-proofing Governance Frameworks  \n  \n  \n \n·         Governance trends shaping the future \n·         Governance in disruptive environments \n·         Panel discussion on the future of governance and ethics: what every board\, CEO and professional must prepare for going into the future \n \n\n\nMental Health Session \n\n\nPromoting mental wellness for professionals\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nTarget Audience: \nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThe training will be beneficial to Board Members\, Board Chairpersons\, Board Committee Members and Committee Chairpersons\, Board Secretaries\, CEOs\, Senior Management\, Aspiring Board Members\, Business Owners\, and Entrepreneurs \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the Governance and Ethics Conference. \nCONFERENCE CHARGES: \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKShs 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKShs. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKShs. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation**\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nNote: Conference charges cater for training fee\, training materials\, certificate and meals during the event. \nONLINE BOOKINGS: \nWe call on Conference participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. \nDelegates 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. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Risk Registers Development course
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRisk Register Development Course\nTheme: From Identification to Action: A Practical Approach to Risk Register Development and Governance\nDate: 15th – 16th October 2026\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium CPA Centre\, Nairobi\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOverview \nOrganizations today operate in an increasingly dynamic and uncertain environment characterized by rapid technological advancement\, evolving regulatory requirements\, cybersecurity threats\, economic volatility\, environmental and social considerations\, and changing stakeholder expectations. These developments have elevated the importance of effective risk management as a critical component of good governance\, organizational resilience\, and sustainable performance. \nAt the heart of an effective risk management framework is the risk register\, a structured tool that enables organizations to identify\, assess\, prioritize\, monitor\, and respond to risks that may affect the achievement of strategic and operational objectives. A well-developed risk register provides management and oversight bodies with a clear view of the organization’s risk landscape\, promotes accountability through the assignment of risk ownership\, supports informed decision-making\, and strengthens organizational resilience. \nModern organizations increasingly recognize risk registers as more than compliance documents. When properly developed and maintained\, risk registers become strategic management tools that facilitate proactive risk identification\, assessment of risk significance\, evaluation of control effectiveness\, prioritization of key risks\, and monitoring of mitigation actions. Integration of risk registers within broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks further strengthens alignment between risk management activities\, organizational strategy\, performance objectives\, and risk appetite. \nDeveloping an effective risk register requires a systematic process that begins with risk identification and progresses through risk classification\, assessment\, prioritization\, response planning\, assignment of ownership\, monitoring\, reporting\, and periodic review. Organizations often face challenges in developing risk registers that accurately capture significant risks\, reflect changing business conditions\, and support informed decision-making. Consequently\, professionals responsible for governance\, finance\, audit\, compliance\, and risk management require practical skills to develop\, maintain\, and utilize risk registers as effective management and governance tools. \nProfessional accountants play a critical role in governance\, internal control\, risk management\, and organizational accountability. Their involvement in strategic planning\, financial stewardship\, compliance monitoring\, and assurance activities places them in a unique position to contribute to effective risk identification\, assessment\, monitoring\, and reporting processes. Global frameworks such as ISO 31000 and COSO Enterprise Risk Management Framework emphasize the importance of embedding risk-aware thinking throughout organizations to support sustainable value creation and preservation. \nIn line with its mandate to develop\, support\, and regulate the accountancy profession while promoting high standards of governance and professional excellence\, ICPAK has organized this practical course to equip participants with the knowledge\, tools\, templates\, and hands-on skills required to develop and maintain effective risk registers. Through practical exercises\, case studies\, and guided workshops\, participants will be taken through the complete risk register development process—from risk identification and assessment to mitigation planning\, monitoring\, reporting\, and continuous improvement. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics:\n1. Foundations of Risk Management and Risk Registers\n• Understanding risk and its relevance to organizational performance and sustainability\n• Overview of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks\n• Introduction to ISO 31000 and COSO ERM\n• The role of risk registers in governance\, accountability\, and resilience\n• Linking risks to organizational objectives and strategy\n2.
