RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (virtual option)
2026-07-22 09:00 - 2026-07-24 15:30 (Europe/Moscow) | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE
Date: 22nd – 24th July 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
OVERVIEW
The retirement benefits industry in Kenya is operating within an increasingly complex and demanding environment. Structural demographic changes, including increasing longevity and a growing retired population, are exerting pressure on scheme funding and benefit sustainability. At the same time, market volatility, inflation uncertainty and evolving investment landscapes are challenging traditional asset allocation strategies. Trustees and scheme management are required to balance long-term liabilities with short-term liquidity needs while maintaining prudence, transparency and regulatory compliance.
In parallel, the regulatory and professional expectations placed on pension schemes continue to expand. Actuarial valuations are subject to heightened scrutiny, funding shortfalls demand credible recovery plans, and financial reporting must faithfully reflect scheme solvency, investment performance and member entitlements. Emerging risks, particularly climate change, ESG stewardship obligations, cyber threats and data integrity issues are no longer peripheral considerations but central components of fiduciary duty.
Against this backdrop, ICPAK has developed this inaugural three-day training designed to move beyond theory and address the most difficult, practical challenges facing retirement benefit schemes. The programme is structured to equip trustees, finance teams and service providers with actionable tools to strengthen governance, improve funding decisions, align investments with liabilities, and respond effectively to emerging risks that threaten long-term member outcomes.
Additionally, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions:

SACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026
2026-07-22 09:00 - 2026-07-24 15:30 | Sarova Imperial Hotel, 59963, Nairobi, 00200, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
SACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026
Theme:
Date: 22nd -24th July 2026
Time: 9.00-15.30
Venue: Sarova Imperial -Kisumu
OVERVIEW:
The Savings and Credit Cooperative (SACCO) sector continues to play a pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion, mobilizing savings and providing affordable access to credit for a significant proportion of the Kenyan population. This contribution is particularly evident in rural communities, where SACCOs have substantially improved access to essential financial services for individuals who would otherwise remain underserved by conventional banking institutions. By offering accessible savings and credit facilities, SACCOs have empowered ordinary citizens, fostered economic participation and promoted socio-economic development at the grassroots level.
However, the SACCO sector has historically faced several challenges, including weak governance structures, inadequate capitalization, non-compliance with financial reporting standards and emerging sustainability requirements. These challenges have constrained the sector’s ability to fully realize its potential as a catalyst for the socio-economic empowerment of its members. The recent events involving the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Cooperatives (KUSCCO) serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of governance failures within the sector. The scandal, which resulted in substantial financial losses for participating SACCOs and their members, significantly eroded stakeholder confidence and underscored the far-reaching implications of poor governance on the stability of the financial sector and the broader economy.
These developments underscore the urgent need to strengthen governance frameworks, enhance oversight mechanisms, and foster a renewed commitment to accountability, transparency and prudent financial management within SACCO institutions. In response to the governance and operational weaknesses exposed by these failures, the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) have intensified regulatory requirements and supervisory oversight aimed at safeguarding members’ deposits, promoting sound corporate governance practices and enhancing the financial resilience and stability of SACCOs. These measures are intended not only to restore public confidence in the sector but also to ensure that SACCOs operate in a safe, sustainable and member-centric manner.
On a positive note, the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Award 2025 provided valuable insights and learning opportunities for the SACCO sector. Several SACCOs distinguished themselves by demonstrating exemplary practices in financial reporting, corporate governance and sustainability. These institutions exhibited strong adherence to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) while integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their strategic and operational frameworks, thereby enhancing transparency, accountability, and stakeholder confidence.
Importantly, the FiRe Award also brought to the fore critical issues affecting the sector’s compliance landscape and operational effectiveness. Among the key challenges identified were weaknesses in governance structures, inadequate capitalization, technological deficiencies and increasing incidences of fraud. These findings underscore the need for SACCOs to strengthen institutional governance, invest in digital transformation, enhance internal control systems and adopt sustainable business practices to improve resilience, maintain regulatory compliance and safeguard member interests.
The SACCO Sector Conference 2026, therefore, presents a timely and strategic platform for stakeholders to critically reflect on the prevailing challenges confronting the sector while jointly exploring emerging opportunities for innovation, resilience and sustainable growth. By fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration among key actors, the conference seeks to strengthen the capacity of SACCO leaders, practitioners and members to effectively navigate the evolving financial landscape. Ultimately, it aims to enhance institutional adaptability, reinforce sector relevance and secure the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of SACCOs in a rapidly changing economic environment.
The following topics will be covered in the conference:

Keynote address from SASRA
SACCO Regulatory Compliance Framework: Understanding the legal and regulatory framework governing SACCOs in Kenya.
Regulatory roundtable -SASRA, CBK and other relevant regulators.
Overview of new guidance and advisories issued by SASRA & ICPAK.

Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence
2026-07-29 16:00 - 18:00 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence
Theme- Strengthening Emotional Intelligence for Impactful Leadership and Professional Excellence
Date: 29th July 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue- CPA Centre
Overview
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has become an essential capability in today’s professional world, influencing how individuals understand their emotions, build meaningful relationships, and make grounded decisions. Unlike IQ, which measures cognitive ability, EI combines thinking and feeling to support self-awareness, emotional regulation, and authentic decision-making. It enables individuals to manage their reactions, meet emotional needs, and navigate situations with clarity and intention. Because EI predicts effectiveness and can be developed over time, it offers a unique pathway to personal fulfillment and professional success.
In modern workplaces, EI is increasingly recognized as a strategic competency that enhances communication, strengthens trust, and enables professionals to respond ethically under pressure. For accountants, auditors, finance practitioners, and business leaders, EI plays a pivotal role in managing stakeholder expectations, upholding integrity, and maintaining composure in high-stakes environments. By identifying emotional triggers and managing emotional hijacking, professionals cultivate the resilience and sound judgment required in complex and demanding roles.
A strong grounding in Emotional Intelligence supports self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social competence skills that enable individuals to manage conflict effectively, give constructive feedback, and lead with authenticity. In fields where technical expertise is expected, EI becomes a key differentiator that enhances ethical behavior, client care, decision-making, and leadership effectiveness. Professionals with high EI are better equipped to adapt to change, handle stress, and respond calmly in workplaces characterized by tight deadlines and regulatory scrutiny.
Beyond the individual level, EI has become central to building healthy organizational cultures. Teams with strong emotional intelligence demonstrate greater collaboration, accountability, innovation, and psychological safety. Leaders who apply EI foster inclusive environments where people feel respected, motivated, and empowered to perform at their best. As organizations confront growing complexity, diversity, and evolving work dynamics, EI has emerged as a critical driver of trust, agility, and long-term performance.
It is in recognition of this growing importance that ICPAK has organized the Evening Networking Forum. The session provides professionals with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Emotional Intelligence through guided discussions, real-life scenarios, and practical exercises. Participants will explore their emotional strengths, practice empathy-centered communication, and learn how EI influences leadership, teamwork, and conflict management. By blending learning with live networking, the forum equips attendees to apply EI concepts immediately while strengthening their professional connections and personal growth journeys.
The forum is designed to cover the following topics:
Introduction to Emotional Intelligence

Definition, principles, and components of Emotional Intelligence
Understanding emotions and responses
Why EI matters in modern professional practice
Difference between EQ and IQ

THE PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR-with National Treasury and PSASB
2026-08-03 09:00 - 2026-08-07 15:30 | Pride Inn Paradise Beach Hotel,, Mombasa, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR (with National Treasury & PSASB)
Theme: Forging a resilient economy: Navigating Accrual Transition, Climate Realities, and broader economic imperatives in Kenya
Date: 3rd-7th August 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Pride Inn Paradise Resort, Mombasa
OVERVIEW
Kenya’s public financial management stands at a defining crossroads. As the nation accelerates its transition to full accrual-based IPSAS reporting with first accrual statements expected for FY 2025/26 and full compliance by June 2027, public sector accountants, treasurers, auditors, and policymakers face unprecedented opportunities and responsibilities.
Mounting public debt pressures considered sustainable but at high risk of distress, escalating climate vulnerabilities, digital transformation in PFM systems, and the urgent demand for transparent, citizen-centric governance require more than technical compliance. They demand visionary leadership that balances fiscal prudence with bold investments in sustainability, equity, and long-term national resilience.
This seminar moves beyond rote standard application to ignite transformative thinking. Participants will explore how accrual accounting can unlock better asset management, liability recognition, and decision-making while confronting real-world challenges: debt sustainability amid global shocks, climate-related fiscal risks, green public financial management, and the ethical imperative of intergenerational equity.
Through dynamic sessions, practical case studies from Kenya’s ongoing reforms (including IFMIS re-engineering, new IPSAS adoptions, and sustainability-linked financing), and forward-looking dialogues, attendees will gain actionable insights to strengthen transparency, combat inefficiencies, and position public finances as engines of inclusive growth.
The seminar is more than professional development; it is a call to stewardship. By the end, participants will leave equipped with updated knowledge, practical tools, enhanced leadership capabilities, and a renewed commitment to building a public finance ecosystem that serves today’s citizens without mortgaging tomorrow’s future.

INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA

ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION
Theme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit, tax and advisory engagements
Date: 12th – 14th August 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm
Venue: Sarova Woodlands, Nakuru
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The accountancy profession has undergone significant developments and experienced a lot of evolution over the past few years. In recent years, the global accounting profession has undergone significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements, evolving regulatory frameworks, increasing stakeholder expectations, and the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethics. The audit environment has particularly experienced tremendous developments arising from the effect of new emerging and stringent regulations and standards among other social and economic developments. This has also happened to the other areas of the profession which has necessitated the change of approach and tact in delivering professional accountancy engagements, to align with rapid developments in technology, geopolitical risks and stringent regulations.
In this dynamic environment, audit practitioners, tax professionals, management consultants, and accounting practitioners must remain agile and well-informed to maintain professional competence and deliver value to clients and stakeholders. This makes it imperative for practitioners to continually update their knowledge and skills in key emerging areas such as sustainability reporting and assurance, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and Anti-Money Laundering Policies.
In Kenya, we have witnessed growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators, boards, and the investing public following reported major frauds affecting the public such as KUSCCO and OAG reports on county expenditure. Practitioners consequently must shift towards risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Furthermore, practitioners are today expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. Practitioners are also faced with challenges revolving around compliance with regulations such as KRA, SASRA, RBA and AML.
As practitioners face expanding roles and increased public scrutiny, soft skills such as communication, leadership, ethical decision-making, and client management are no longer optional; they are critical enablers of success.

ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (virtual option)
2026-08-12 09:00 - 2026-08-14 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION
Theme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit, tax and advisory engagements
Date: 12th – 14th August 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The accountancy profession has undergone significant developments and experienced a lot of evolution over the past few years. In recent years, the global accounting profession has undergone significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements, evolving regulatory frameworks, increasing stakeholder expectations, and the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethics. The audit environment has particularly experienced tremendous developments arising from the effect of new emerging and stringent regulations and standards among other social and economic developments. This has also happened to the other areas of the profession which has necessitated the change of approach and tact in delivering professional accountancy engagements, to align with rapid developments in technology, geopolitical risks and stringent regulations.
In this dynamic environment, audit practitioners, tax professionals, management consultants, and accounting practitioners must remain agile and well-informed to maintain professional competence and deliver value to clients and stakeholders. This makes it imperative for practitioners to continually update their knowledge and skills in key emerging areas such as sustainability reporting and assurance, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and Anti-Money Laundering Policies.
In Kenya, we have witnessed growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators, boards, and the investing public following reported major frauds affecting the public such as KUSCCO and OAG reports on county expenditure. Practitioners consequently must shift towards risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Furthermore, practitioners are today expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. Practitioners are also faced with challenges revolving around compliance with regulations such as KRA, SASRA, RBA and AML.
As practitioners face expanding roles and increased public scrutiny, soft skills such as communication, leadership, ethical decision-making, and client management are no longer optional; they are critical enablers of success. This forum is therefore designed not only to advance technical mastery but also to empower audit professionals to lead with confidence, integrity, and agility in today’s complex assurance landscape.
It is against this background that the Institute has organized a three-day forum to discuss these critical developments which affect the practitioners in the different categories of practice, and the accountancy profession at large and seek to address the rising concerns of work quality while ensuring that efficiency in undertaking engagements is maintained. The Annual Practitioners Convention aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing, professional development, and networking among Practitioners. The convention will focus on equipping practitioners with the latest insights and practical tools to enhance their service delivery in an increasingly complex business environment. The following topics will guide the discussions in the Convention:

THE IPSAS MASTERCLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training)
2026-08-24 09:00 - 2026-08-28 15:30 | Enashipai Resort & Spa, Naivasha, 00100, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA

THE IPSAS MASTERCLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training)
Theme: Driving Sustainable Public Value through High-Quality Reporting
Date: 24th – 28th August 2026
Venue: Enashipai Resort & Spa, Naivasha
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The 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.
Against 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.
In 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.
Recognizing 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.

Transition to IPSAS Accrual course
2026-09-03 09:00 - 2026-09-04 15:30 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Transition to IPSAS Accrual course
Theme: Transition to IPSAS Accrual: Practical Guidance for Successful Implementation
Date: 3rd -4th September 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Venue: CPA Centre
Overview
Across the globe, governments are increasingly transitioning from cash-based and modified cash accounting frameworks to accrual-based financial reporting aligned with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This shift is widely recognized as a cornerstone of modern public financial management (PFM) reform, enabling governments to produce more transparent, comprehensive, and decision-useful financial information.
In Kenya and many other jurisdictions, the transition to IPSAS Accrual represents a major transformation in the way public sector entities recognize, measure, and report financial transactions. Under the accrual framework, entities must record not only cash movements but also assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and commitments, thereby providing a more complete picture of financial performance and financial position.
However, transitioning to IPSAS Accrual is a complex institutional reform that goes far beyond technical accounting changes. It requires significant adjustments in policies, systems, processes, data management, asset registers, staff capacity, and governance frameworks. Public sector entities must undertake detailed preparatory work, including identifying assets and liabilities, developing opening balances, aligning financial management systems such as IFMIS, and strengthening internal controls and documentation practices.
International experience demonstrates that entities often encounter significant challenges during the transition phase. These may include:

Difficulties in compiling reliable opening balances
Limited asset registers and incomplete asset verification
Lack of historical valuation data
Weak integration between accounting policies and operational processes
Limited familiarity with key IPSAS standards such as PPE, revenue from non-exchange transactions, provisions, leases, and financial instruments
System limitations in capturing accrual-based transactions
Capacity gaps among preparers and financial managers

Without adequate preparation, these challenges can result in delays, inconsistencies, and significant audit issues during the first accrual reporting cycle.
This workshop is therefore designed as a practical capacity-building program to support entities preparing for the transition to IPSAS Accrual. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical aspects of IPSAS, the training emphasizes practical implementation strategies, transition planning, opening balance preparation, and system readiness.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of:

The IPSAS Accrual transition roadmap
Key technical standards affecting transition
Practical steps for preparing opening balances
Asset identification and valuation processes
System and data requirements for accrual reporting
Institutional arrangements needed to support successful implementation

By the end of the training, participants will be better equipped to plan, manage, and execute the transition to IPSAS Accrual, thereby strengthening the credibility, transparency, and usefulness of public sector financial reporting.

Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1,2 and 3 Practical
2026-09-17 09:00 - 2026-09-18 15:30 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1,2 and 3 Practical
Date: 17th – 18th September 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Venue: CPA Centre
Overview
There is increased pressure from regulators, investors, financiers, and other stakeholders for organizations across all sectors to measure, manage, and transparently report their GHG emissions. With increasing mainstreaming of climate-related disclosures, the need for professionals who can apply the GHG accounting principles practically, as set out in recognized global frameworks, cannot be over-emphasized. This practical course will focus on the development of hands-on capacity to measure, calculate, document, and report GHG emissions for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. The course will bridge the gap between theory and practice by focusing on real-life organizational scenarios, sector-specific emission sources, and practical calculations that align with international best practice.
With the gradual evolution of sustainability reporting, it is increasingly expected of entities to report their carbon footprint in a reliable, consistent, and auditable manner. Yet, for many organizations, technical challenges persist regarding source identification for emissions, collection of quality data on activities, methods for selecting the most appropriate emission factors, and completeness and accuracy concerns in disclosures. This course responds to the practical competencies gap by equipping participants with the necessary competencies to operationalize GHG measurement, enhance internal data systems, support assurance processes, and better ensure the credibility of climate-related information presented within corporate reports.
The course will enhance the practical ability of participants to identify relevant emission sources, apply standardized calculation methodologies, manage data collection processes, and prepare reliable GHG emissions reports. It seeks to build competence in distinguishing between direct and indirect emissions, developing organizational and operational boundaries, and embedding internal controls that support high-quality environmental data. Participants will also gain an appreciation of how robust GHG reporting supports risk management, regulatory compliance, strategic planning, and stakeholder confidence.
Additionally, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions:
Introduction to GHG Accounting Frameworks

Overview of internationally accepted GHG accounting principles
Understanding organizational and operational boundaries
Alignment with global climate disclosure expectations

Practical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions

Identifying direct emission sources (fuel combustion, company vehicles, industrial processes)
Activity data collection and quality checks
Hands-on calculations using emission factors

Practical Measurement of Scope 2 Emissions

Accounting for purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling
Market-based versus location-based methods
Electricity data interpretation and practical calculation exercises

Practical Measurement of Scope 3 Emissions

Mapping value chain emission sources
Prioritization of material Scope 3 categories
Practical approaches to data estimation and supplier engagement

GHG Data Management and Internal Controls

Designing data collection templates and control processes
Managing data gaps, assumptions, and estimations
Documentation and audit trail requirements

Preparation of GHG Emissions Reports

Structuring clear and credible GHG disclosures
Consistency with financial and sustainability reporting
Common errors and how to avoid them

Verification and Assurance Readiness

Preparing GHG data for independent verification
Understanding assurance expectations and evidence requirements
Responding to review findings and improving reporting quality

Linking GHG Measurement to Strategy and Performance

Using emissions data to inform risk management and decision-making
Setting reduction targets and monitoring progress
Integrating GHG data into broader ESG and sustainability frameworks

Target Audience
The course is intended for accountants, auditors, sustainability and ESG professionals, internal control and risk management practitioners, finance and operations managers, environmental and health and safety officers, compliance officers, and consultants who are engaged in sustainability reporting or climate-related risk management. It will also be useful to public sector professionals, regulators, and development practitioners who support environmental accountability and the implementation of climate policy.

ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
2026-09-21 09:00 - 2026-09-25 15:30 | Sarova Woodlands Hotel, Nakuru
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
THEME: Navigating Uncertainty Through Adaptive Enterprise Risk Management
DATE: 21st – 25th SEPTEMBER 2026
VENUE: SAROVA WOODLANDS HOTEL, NAKURU
TIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The 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.
The 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.
Within 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.
Consequently, 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.
The 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.
Through 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.
The following five modules cover the key fundamental learning areas;

(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
The audit profession is undergoing unprecedented transformation driven by technological advancements, evolving stakeholder expectations, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and the growing complexity of business transactions. 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.
Globally, 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.
In 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.
As 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.
The 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. The programme will provide participants with insights into current auditing standards, technological innovations, fraud risk management, and sustainability-related assurance considerations.

Sustainability Reporting Course
2026-10-08 09:00 - 2026-10-09 15:30 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Reporting Course
Theme: Advancing Sustainability Reporting: From Compliance to Value Creation
Date: 8th -9th October 2026
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Venue: ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre
Overview
How can organizations effectively respond to growing stakeholder expectations for transparent, reliable, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures while meeting emerging global reporting requirements?
Sustainability reporting has rapidly evolved from a voluntary corporate responsibility exercise into a critical component of corporate governance, risk management, and strategic decision-making. Investors, regulators, lenders, customers, and other stakeholders increasingly require organizations to disclose how sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect their business model, strategy, financial performance, and long-term value creation.
The global sustainability reporting landscape has undergone significant transformation following the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the issuance of IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. These standards establish a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures and are increasingly influencing reporting expectations across jurisdictions, industries, and capital markets.
Organizations are now expected to go beyond broad sustainability narratives by demonstrating strong governance, effective risk management, measurable performance, and credible climate-related disclosures. This includes identifying, measuring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate-related risks and opportunities, sustainability metrics, and transition plans. As a result, organizations must strengthen their reporting capabilities, data management processes, internal controls, and readiness for assurance.
Professional accountants are at the centre of this transformation. Their expertise in reporting, governance, assurance, internal controls, performance measurement, and risk management positions them to play a critical role in the implementation of sustainability reporting frameworks and standards. As organizations increasingly integrate sustainability considerations into business strategy and decision-making, accountants must develop the practical competencies required to prepare, review, and support sustainability disclosures.
In line with its mandate to promote high standards of professional competence and support the accountancy profession, ICPAK has organized this course to equip participants with practical knowledge and implementation skills in sustainability reporting. The training will provide guidance on applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 requirements, conducting materiality assessments, measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions, developing sustainability disclosures, establishing sustainability metrics and targets, strengthening sustainability data governance, and preparing organizations for sustainability assurance requirements.
