SUMMARY:ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING\nTHEME: Navigating Uncertainty Through Adaptive Enterprise Risk Management\nDATE: 21st – 25th SEPTEMBER 2026\nVENUE: SAROVA WOODLANDS HOTEL\, NAKURU\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global business environment is experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty and disruption. Organizations are operating amidst economic volatility\, geopolitical tensions\, climate-related challenges\, rapid technological advancements\, evolving regulatory requirements\, and increasing stakeholder expectations. These developments have fundamentally altered the risk landscape\, requiring organizations to rethink how risks are identified\, assessed\, managed\, and leveraged to create sustainable value. \nThe World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report continues to highlight critical risks facing organizations including cyber insecurity\, climate change\, misinformation and disinformation\, geopolitical conflicts\, economic instability\, and disruptions arising from emerging technologies. At the same time\, organizations are increasingly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, automation\, digital platforms\, and data-driven business models\, creating both unprecedented opportunities and new categories of risk that require effective governance and oversight. \nWithin Kenya and across the region\, organizations continue to navigate an increasingly dynamic environment characterized by economic pressures\, regulatory reforms\, digital transformation initiatives\, sustainability demands\, cybersecurity threats\, supply chain vulnerabilities\, and heightened public scrutiny. These realities demand that organizations build resilience\, strengthen governance\, improve strategic agility\, and enhance their ability to respond effectively to emerging risks and opportunities. \nConsequently\, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is no longer viewed merely as a compliance or control function. Modern ERM has evolved into a strategic management discipline that supports decision-making\, drives organizational performance\, protects value\, enhances resilience\, and enables sustainable growth. Organizations that successfully integrate risk management into strategy and operations are better positioned to anticipate disruptions\, adapt to change\, capitalize on opportunities\, and maintain stakeholder confidence. \nThe ERM Master Class 2026 has been designed to equip participants with advanced knowledge\, and strategic insights necessary to navigate today’s complex risk environment. Building upon traditional ERM principles\, this year’s programme introduces contemporary themes including Artificial Intelligence governance\, cyber resilience\, climate and sustainability risks\, organizational resilience\, risk analytics\, digital transformation\, and the future role of risk professionals. \nThrough expert-led sessions\, practical workshops\, case studies\, simulations\, and peer learning opportunities\, participants will gain practical skills and actionable insights that can be immediately applied within their organizations. The Master Class will also provide an excellent platform for networking\, benchmarking\, and sharing experiences with fellow professionals from diverse sectors. \nThe following five modules cover the key fundamental learning areas; \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE \nTOPICS \n \nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\nDAY 1\nFoundations of Enterprise Risk Management and Strategic Risk Leadership\n§  Enterprise Risk Management Fundamentals \n§   Strategic Risk Management \n§   The Evolving Risk Landscape\n1.    Key concepts and principles of Enterprise Risk Management \n2.    Evolution of risk management from compliance to strategic value creation \n3.    Differences between traditional risk management and Enterprise Risk Management \n4.    COSO ERM Framework and ISO 31000:2018 \n5.    Integrating risk management into organizational strategy and performance \n6.    The role of risk professionals as strategic business partners \n7.    Understanding the current global and local risk landscape \n8.    Regulatory and governance considerations affecting ERM \n9.    Roles and responsibilities of Boards\, Management and Risk Functions \n10.

SUMMARY:THE 10TH NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(ESTABLISHED UNDER THE ACCOUNTANTS ACT\, LAWS OF KENYA) \nTHE 10th NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Ladies for Sustainable Leadership\, Innovation\, and Inclusive Growth in a Globally Competitive Landscape\n28th SEPTEMBER – 2nd OCTOBER 2026\nSAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA\, MOMBASA\nTIME: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nThe ICPAK National Lady Accountants Conference stands as a premier platform dedicated to celebrating\, empowering\, and advancing women in the accounting and other professions.

In a field that continues to evolve rapidly\, the conference recognizes the critical role women accountants play in driving integrity\, innovation\, and sustainable value creation within organizations and the broader economy. \nIn today’s rapidly evolving global economy\, empowering women to assume leadership roles is no longer a matter of equity alone but a strategic imperative for sustainable progress. Women leaders bring distinctive perspectives shaped by diverse life experiences\, fostering decision-making that prioritizes long-term resilience over short-term gains.

This approach helps organizations navigate volatility—whether from climate challenges or geopolitical shifts—while building stakeholder trust and ensuring enduring viability in competitive international markets. \nInnovation flourishes when barriers to women’s participation are dismantled. Ladies often excel at collaborative problem-solving and human-centered design\, injecting fresh ideas into technology\, healthcare\, finance\, and green industries. By investing in women and inclusive innovation ecosystems\, organizations unlock untapped talent pools that drive breakthroughs. In a globally competitive landscape\, companies and nations that harness female ingenuity report higher patent filings\, agile adaptation to market disruptions\, and the creation of solutions that address both local needs and universal challenges\, such as sustainable energy and digital inclusion. \nThere is a growing recognition of the critical role women accountants play in driving ethical leadership\, financial transparency\, and sustainable organizational growth. As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation\, sustainability reporting and integrated thinking\, lady accountants are expected to take up more strategic roles beyond compliance and reporting. One of the key benefits of this conference is enhanced professional capability and leadership development among women in the accounting and other professions. \nThe 10th National Lady Accountants Conference therefore aims to demystify complex and emerging areas while empowering women to confidently navigate leadership roles and professional challenges. It will provide practical insights into how strategic decisions are influenced and how women can position themselves as key drivers of transformation within their organizations.

Auditors are expected not only to provide assurance on financial information but also to navigate emerging risks\, leverage technology effectively and uphold the highest standards of professional judgment and ethical conduct. \nGlobally\, audit regulators and standard setters continue to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening audit quality and restoring public confidence in the profession. Recent developments such as the International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2)\, revisions to risk assessment and auditing standards\, increased focus on sustainability reporting and assurance\, and the adoption of advanced data analytics tools are reshaping audit methodologies and engagement practices. \nIn Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly complex environment characterized by heightened regulatory expectations\, digital transformation\, evolving reporting requirements\, and growing concerns over fraud\, cybersecurity threats\, and financial reporting quality. Recent corporate failures and governance challenges have further reinforced the need for robust audit processes\, enhanced professional skepticism\, and continuous capacity building among audit professionals. \nAs organizations embrace digital technologies and face new business risks\, audit staff must develop competencies that extend beyond traditional audit approaches. Skills in data analytics\, risk assessment\, fraud detection\, audit quality management\, and sustainability assurance are becoming essential for delivering high-quality audits that meet stakeholder expectations. \nThe Audit Staff Training Programme seeks to equip audit professionals with practical knowledge and emerging skills necessary to enhance audit quality\, strengthen professional judgment\, improve risk identification\, and effectively respond to the evolving demands of the profession.
