SUMMARY:THE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2025
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2025\nTheme: Firming Integrity and accountability through risk intelligence and forensic insights\nDate: 1st – 5th December 2025\nVenue: Pride Inn Paradise Beach Resort\, Mombasa\nTime: 09.00am–03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nIt’s often unnoticed how much of our daily lives are shaped by systems of review\, accountability\, and control from managing personal budgets to planning and adjusting routines based on observed outcomes. Similarly\, in the world of institutions and businesses\, oversight and risk awareness determine the strength of internal systems\, the accuracy of financial reporting\, and the trustworthiness of leadership. Yet\, despite advanced governance frameworks and automated processes\, high-profile cases like the collapse of Wirecard AG\, the fraud allegations at Steinhoff International\, or regional procurement scandals across public institutions remind us how internal control weaknesses\, poor ethical tone\, and ignored red flags can unravel entire enterprises. \nOrganizations\, like individuals\, face a daily balancing act assessing uncertainties\, evaluating exposures\, and determining safeguards for both short and long-term objectives. In today’s dynamic economic and regulatory environment\, internal risks are no longer confined to operational inefficiencies or compliance lapses. They extend into deeper layers of organizational integrity\, ranging from undetected fraud\, cyber vulnerabilities\, poor governance practices\, and weak forensic frameworks that leave enterprises exposed to reputational and financial collapse. \nThese failures reveal a recurring pattern: internal risks often go unchecked not because controls are absent\, but because they are outdated\, poorly implemented\, or compromised from within. Internal risks arise when there is a disconnect between strategy\, the controlling environment\, and ethical execution. From improper segregation of duties and override of controls to insider threats and data manipulation\, these risks manifest subtly and often grow undetected. Forensic interventions—driven by data analytics\, digital evidence gathering\, whistleblower reports\, and structured fraud investigations—are now central to uncovering the truth behind financial inconsistencies and misconduct. \nThe role of internal controls is no longer confined to compliance; they now form a strategic layer of protection against financial misstatement\, reputational damage\, and legal exposure. Through risk assessments\, fraud detection mechanisms\, whistleblower systems\, data audit trails\, and governance ethics\, professionals across industries can build more secure\, transparent environments. Whether tackling procurement irregularities\, AML risks\, cyber manipulation\, or accountability lapses in public service delivery\, a collaborative and analytical approach is key. \nThis conference seeks to address the evolving nature of internal risks through the lens of forensic practice. It will explore how internal audit\, compliance functions\, governance structures\, and forensic accountants can work collaboratively to detect\, investigate\, and mitigate threats that compromise financial and operational health. Drawing from real-life case studies\, legal insights\, and technology-led detection methods\, this forum offers a platform to reimagine organizational resilience in the face of growing risk exposure. \nJoin ICPAK\, a multi-sectoral engagement addressing internal risks and forensic strategies that support long-term credibility\, trust\, and operational strength. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program

SUMMARY:INPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)\nTheme- Strengthening Financial Reporting for Transparency\, Accountability & Donor Confidence\n22nd – 23rd January 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue – CPA Centre \nOverview \n Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) occupy a unique space in society\, delivering social impact and advancing development goals across sectors. Their operations rely heavily on funding from donors\, grants\, and other resources that require careful stewardship. Accurate\, comprehensive\, and transparent financial reporting is central to sustaining stakeholder confidence\, demonstrating accountability\, and ensuring compliance with statutory and donor requirements. However\, NPOs often face challenges in financial reporting due to multiple funding sources\, restricted and unrestricted funds\, donor-specific requirements\, and sector-specific accounting standards. \nThe International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents one of the most significant modern developments in global financial reporting for the not-for-profit sector. As NPOs continue to play critical roles in advancing social\, economic and human-development agendas\, the need for consistent\, comparable\, transparent and decision-useful reporting has become more urgent. INPAS is intended to provide a globally coherent framework that enables non-profits to communicate performance\, stewardship\, accountability and impact using standardized accounting and disclosure principles. Its introduction seeks to resolve long-standing inconsistencies\, especially where NPOs rely on improvised internal policies or apply for-profit standards that do not appropriately reflect mission-centric activities\, donor restrictions\, program delivery dynamics and resource deployment structures. \nINPAS is not only a harmonization exercise; it provides clarity in key reporting areas such as recognition of resource inflows\, the accounting treatment of donor-imposed conditions\, attribution of expenditure to program portfolios\, measurement of performance\, narrative reporting and fund accountability. Unlike general-purpose accounting standards that were not written for the non-profit domain\, INPAS responds directly to unique sector characteristics such as restricted funding\, grant commitments\, volunteer contributions\, social-value outcomes and multi-stakeholder assurance needs. Non-profit reporting is therefore expected to transition away from inconsistent classification practices\, unverifiable impact statements and fragmented accounting treatments that currently limit comparability and weaken sector confidence. \nGlobal conversations around impact measurement\, trust restoration\, funding transparency\, donor confidence and public accountability continue to intensify. Development partners\, auditors\, regulators\, philanthropies and funding institutions are increasingly demanding standard-consistent reporting that demonstrates responsible resource use\, clear alignment between programs and expenditure\, and enhanced traceability of outcomes. INPAS responds to this shift by aligning reporting with global accountability expectations\, improving comparability\, elevating the quality of disclosures and strengthening intelligence for resource allocation decisions. \nWith rising societal expectations\, governance reforms\, anti-corruption agendas and ESG-linked donor priorities\, non-profit reporting can no longer be confined to traditional financial statements. The sector’s trust proposition depends on visibility into how funds translate into services and how actions generate real change. INPAS will therefore influence how NPOs record\, classify\, measure\, present and narrate the way value is created and delivered. This transition\, from narrow financial reporting to integrated program-performance reporting\, is highly strategic: reporting becomes a driver of confidence\, not merely a compliance exercise. \nIt is in response to this evolving context\, and ahead of INPAS implementation\, that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is convening this training to equip preparers\, reviewers and professionals with practical skills\, contextual understanding and transition readiness\, so that by the time formal adoption arrives\, the sector will be informed\, empowered and aligned for confident implementation. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics: \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics:\n1.

SUMMARY:Reporting on IPSAS Accrual-Practical Course
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nReporting on IPSAS Accrual Practical Course\nDate: 29th – 30th January 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium\nTheme: Transitioning from Cash to Accrual Reporting under IPSAS \nOverview \nPublic sector entities globally are increasingly transitioning from cash-basis accounting to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) Accrual basis to improve transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. For instance the Kenyan cabinet in March 2024 approved the transition from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting with effect from 1st July 2024. The accrual basis of accounting\, as outlined by IPSAS\, provides a more accurate picture of a government’s financial position and performance by recognizing transactions when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid. \nThis move is necessitated by the short-coming of cash basis of accounting with its attendant weaknesses arising from the point of view o financial transparency\, integrity and accountability.  Governments that follow cash basis of accounting tend not to maintain comprehensive and up-to date records of the value of their assets and liabilities. \nThe enabling factors of accrual accounting in the public sector include and is not limited to: growing recognition of the limits of pure cash basis of accounting; the development of accrual based international standards for government fiscal and financial reporting including government Finance statistics manual (GFSM) and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS); the professionalization of the government accounting cadre and resulting introduction of private sector techniques into the public sector and the advent of computerized financial management information system (FMISs) which greatly reduce the transaction costs of collecting and consolidating accrual-based information. While many organizations have adopted IPSAS in principle\, practical challenges remain in compiling\, analyzing\, and reporting accrual-based financial statements. \nThese organizations\, often require hands on training to ensure they can correctly apply IPSAS requirements\, prepare compliant financial statements\, and understand the implications of accrual adjustments and disclosures. This two day practical course is designed to address these gaps by equipping participants with the knowledge and tools needed for accurate IPSAS-compliant reporting. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations and Practical Application of IPSAS Accrual\n\nOverview of IPSAS and the conceptual framework\nKey differences between cash basis and accrual basis reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nPractical sessions on:\n\n\nProperty\, plant\, and equipment (IPSAS 17)\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31)\n\n\nRevenue from exchange and non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 9 & 23)\n\n\nEmployee benefits (IPSAS 39)\n\nPreparing IPSAS Compliant Financial Statements\n\nAccrual adjustments and closing processes\nPreparing primary financial statements:\n\n\nStatement of Financial Performance\nStatement of Financial Position\n\n\nCash Flow Statement (IPSAS 2)\n\n\nStatement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity\nNotes and disclosures requirements\nConsolidated financial statements (IPSAS 35–38)\n\n\nPractical exercise: Full preparation of an IPSAS-compliant set of financial statements.\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis webinar will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers.\nGovernment auditors.\n\n\nPublic finance management professionals.\n\n\nInternal auditors and financial controllers.\nManagers and decision-makers in public institutions who are responsible for financial oversight.\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the sessions. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.

SUMMARY:Reporting on IPSAS Accrual-Practical Course (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nReporting on IPSAS Accrual Practical Course\nDate: 29th – 30th January 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTheme: Transitioning from Cash to Accrual Reporting under IPSAS \nOverview \nPublic sector entities globally are increasingly transitioning from cash-basis accounting to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) Accrual basis to improve transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. For instance the Kenyan cabinet in March 2024 approved the transition from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting with effect from 1st July 2024. The accrual basis of accounting\, as outlined by IPSAS\, provides a more accurate picture of a government’s financial position and performance by recognizing transactions when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid. \nThis move is necessitated by the short-coming of cash basis of accounting with its attendant weaknesses arising from the point of view o financial transparency\, integrity and accountability.  Governments that follow cash basis of accounting tend not to maintain comprehensive and up-to date records of the value of their assets and liabilities. \nThe enabling factors of accrual accounting in the public sector include and is not limited to: growing recognition of the limits of pure cash basis of accounting; the development of accrual based international standards for government fiscal and financial reporting including government Finance statistics manual (GFSM) and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS); the professionalization of the government accounting cadre and resulting introduction of private sector techniques into the public sector and the advent of computerized financial management information system (FMISs) which greatly reduce the transaction costs of collecting and consolidating accrual-based information. While many organizations have adopted IPSAS in principle\, practical challenges remain in compiling\, analyzing\, and reporting accrual-based financial statements. \nThese organizations\, often require hands on training to ensure they can correctly apply IPSAS requirements\, prepare compliant financial statements\, and understand the implications of accrual adjustments and disclosures. This two day practical course is designed to address these gaps by equipping participants with the knowledge and tools needed for accurate IPSAS-compliant reporting. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations and Practical Application of IPSAS Accrual\n\nOverview of IPSAS and the conceptual framework\nKey differences between cash basis and accrual basis reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nPractical sessions on:\n\n\nProperty\, plant\, and equipment (IPSAS 17)\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31)\n\n\nRevenue from exchange and non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 9 & 23)\n\n\nEmployee benefits (IPSAS 39)\n\nPreparing IPSAS Compliant Financial Statements\n\nAccrual adjustments and closing processes\nPreparing primary financial statements:\n\n\nStatement of Financial Performance\nStatement of Financial Position\n\n\nCash Flow Statement (IPSAS 2)\n\n\nStatement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity\nNotes and disclosures requirements\nConsolidated financial statements (IPSAS 35–38)\n\n\nPractical exercise: Full preparation of an IPSAS-compliant set of financial statements.\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis webinar will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers.\nGovernment auditors.\n\n\nPublic finance management professionals.\n\n\nInternal auditors and financial controllers.\nManagers and decision-makers in public institutions who are responsible for financial oversight.\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the sessions. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.

SUMMARY:THE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSASB
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSAB\nDATE: 16th to 20th February 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVENUE: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha\nTheme: IPSAS Accrual Reporting: Lessons\, Challenges\, and Practical Improvements after the First Year \nOVERVIEW \nOver the past several years\, many public sector entities have undertaken significant public financial management reforms aimed at enhancing transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. A central pillar of these reforms has been the transition from cash or modified cash accounting frameworks to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis. \nRecently\, a large number of entities have successfully completed their first full year of IPSAS Accrual financial reporting. This milestone represents a major institutional achievement\, reflecting extensive efforts in policy development\, systems configuration\, data migration\, asset verification\, staff training\, and change management. However\, international experience and local practice consistently demonstrate that the first year of accrual reporting is primarily a learning and stabilization phase\, rather than a point of full technical maturity. \nDuring first-year implementation\, preparers often focus on meeting statutory deadlines and achieving basic compliance\, sometimes at the expense of depth\, consistency\, and optimal application of professional judgment. As a result\, first-year IPSAS Accrual financial statements frequently exhibit common challenges\, including: \n\nIncomplete or unreliable opening balances\nInconsistent application of recognition and measurement principles\nWeak linkage between accounting policies and actual transactions\nOver-reliance on transitional exemptions and pragmatic shortcuts\nDisclosure gaps and boilerplate notes that do not fully explain financial position or performance\nRecurrent audit queries and qualifications linked to valuation\, consolidation\, and revenue recognition\n\nFurthermore\, the transition to IPSAS Accrual significantly expands the scope and complexity of financial reporting. Preparers are required to account for assets\, liabilities\, provisions\, non-exchange transactions\, and financial instruments that were previously unrecognized or only partially disclosed. This shift places heavy demands on professional judgment\, interdepartmental coordination\, and the quality of underlying data\, areas that typically remain underdeveloped in the first reporting cycle. \nAt the same time\, expectations from auditors\, oversight institutions\, development partners\, and the public increase sharply after the first year. Stakeholders anticipate not just technical compliance\, but demonstrable improvement in the credibility\, consistency\, and decision-usefulness of financial statements. Preparers are therefore under pressure to move beyond “first-time adoption mode” and begin embedding IPSAS Accrual into routine financial management processes. \nAgainst this backdrop\, there is a clear need for a post–first-year\, practice-focused capacity-building intervention. Rather than reintroducing IPSAS from first principles\, this course is intentionally designed to help preparers: \n\nReflect critically on their first-year reporting experience\nDiagnose recurring weaknesses and root causes\nAddress audit findings and strengthen documentation\nImprove judgments\, estimates\, and disclosures\nBuild confidence for second-year and subsequent reporting cycles\n\nThis course recognizes that high-quality IPSAS Accrual reporting is achieved progressively\, through iterative learning\, peer exchange\, and continuous improvement. By anchoring the training on real challenges encountered in the first year of reporting\, the course supports public sector entities in transitioning from initial compliance to robust\, sustainable\, and value-enhancing accrual-based financial reporting. \nTopics to be covered will include: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nReflections on the First Year of IPSAS Accrual

SUMMARY:THE 8th BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE MASTERCLASS
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 8th BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE MASTERCLASS\nTheme: Transforming Audit Committees into Engines of Organizational Transformation\nDate: 16th -20thFebruary 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nThe corporate landscape is undergoing its most profound transformation yet. Regulatory expectations are tightening\, stakeholders are demanding greater transparency\, technology is reshaping business models\, and economic uncertainty is testing organizational endurance. In the midst of these shifts\, one governance organ has become indispensable to organizational stability and strategic foresight—the Audit Committee. Its mandate has expanded far beyond reviewing financial statements; it now plays a decisive role in safeguarding institutional integrity\, strengthening risk culture\, and anchoring long-term resilience. \nYet\, even with their growing prominence\, the performance of Audit Committees in Kenya remains mixed. Many committees continue to grapple with limited independence\, insufficient technical support\, and mandates that are not fully aligned to the realities of modern governance. These gaps constrain their ability to deliver high-impact oversight. A truly effective Audit Committee must be grounded in strong leadership\, deep governance insight\, and a firm grasp of the assurance ecosystem spanning internal audit\, external audit\, risk management\, and compliance. \nExpectations placed on Audit Committees today are higher than ever. Beyond reviewing compliance\, committees are now expected to be forward-looking advisors—providing strategic guidance\, anticipating emerging threats\, reinforcing internal controls\, and cultivating ethical and accountable cultures. Achieving this shift requires members who are agile\, analytically strong\, and well-versed in the transformative potential of data\, technology\, and modern assurance practices. Only then can they identify vulnerabilities early\, navigate disruptions with confidence\, and support management in building sustainable financial and operational systems. \nTo remain influential and future-ready\, Audit Committees must embrace agility and continuous development. This involves staying current with governance trends\, undertaking regular charter reviews\, carrying out committee performance assessments\, and strengthening teamwork and collegiality. Committees must also invest deliberately in member development to sharpen oversight capabilities. These elements are essential to repositioning Audit Committees as proactive engines of organizational resilience—committees that do not simply observe risk but actively shape the institution’s capacity to withstand and thrive through uncertainty. \nA future-ready Audit Committee requires mastery of critical domains such as risk governance\, internal audit effectiveness\, compliance oversight\, cybersecurity readiness\, ESG accountability\, and performance monitoring. Strengthening these competencies transforms Audit Committees into influential strategic partners who inspire trust\, drive value\, and guide organizations with steadiness through shifting economic and technological landscapes. \nTo support this transformation\, ICPAK presents the 7th Audit Committee Masterclass—a five-day intensive program designed to elevate the impact of Audit Committees in Kenya. With a blend of case-based learning\, expert-led discussions\, and practical governance insights\, the Masterclass will unpack what works\, what fails\, and what must evolve for effective oversight. Participants will explore audit strategy\, risk oversight\, assurance coordination\, boardroom dynamics\, and emerging issues shaping today’s audit environment. The program also offers rich opportunities for peer learning and networking across public and private sectors\, fostering collaboration and shared excellence. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Audit Committee Competence: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   The evolving role of the Audit Committee\n1.    Understanding the modern governance environment \n2.    Redefining the audit committee mandate \n3.    Strengthening independence\, structure and board level influence \n \n·         The shifting governance landscape: global\, regional\, and Kenyan context \n·         Expanding roles and expectations of Audit Committees in modern organizations \n·         Understanding independence: structural\, operational\, and behavioural independence \n·         Strengthening the relationship between the Audit Committee\, Board\, CEO\, and Internal Audit \n·         Governance failures and lessons for Audit Committees \n·         How Audit Committees drive ethical culture and institutional integrity\n\n\nDAY 2\nB.   Risk governance & resilience building \n1.    Role of Audit Committee in enterprise risk oversight \n2.    Emerging risks: technology\, cybersecurity and geopolitical trends and ESG \n3.    Building a strong organizational risk culture \n \n·         Enterprise Risk Management (ERM): role of the Audit Committee \n·         Identifying\, assessing\, and prioritizing emerging risks \n·         Oversight of cybersecurity and digital transformation risks \n·         Understanding ESG-related risks (environmental\, social\, governance) \n·         Strengthening risk culture across the organization \n·         Crisis preparedness and response: Audit Committee’s role in resilience planning\n\n\nDAY 3\nC.   Strengthening internal audit & assurance functions \n1.    Enhancing internal audit effectiveness \n2.    Coordinating internal audit\, external audit and compliance \n3.    Reviewing audit strategies\, work plans and reports \n  \n \n·         Evaluating the adequacy and independence of the Internal Audit function \n·         Reviewing internal audit plans\, resources\, and capability needs \n·         Monitoring effectiveness of external audit and auditor independence \n·         Aligning internal audit\, external audit\, and compliance for coherent assurance \n·         Understanding audit quality indicators and improving reporting outcomes \n·         Oversight of investigations\, whistleblowing\, and ethical breaches\n\n\nDAY 4 \nD.   Technology\, Data & modern oversight practices \n1.    Leveraging data analytics for better oversight \n2.    Cybersecurity and digital transformation risks \n3.    ESG\, ethics and compliance expectations for Audit Committees \n \n·         Using data analytics to strengthen audit oversight \n·         Oversight of automation\, AI\, and digital transformation initiatives \n·         Protecting organizational assets in a cyber-risk environment \n·         Modernizing internal control systems with technology \n·         Audit Committee’s role in ESG reporting and sustainability assurance \n·         Ensuring compliance with new regulatory and industry standards \n \n\n\nDAY 5\nE.   Future – Proofing your Audit committee and moving forward \n1.    Building a future-ready and high performing Audit Committee \n  \n \n1.    Building a high-impact\, future-ready Audit Committee \n \n\n\n\nTarget Audience: \nAudit Committee Members\, Chairpersons of Audit Committees\, Chief Internal Auditors\, Chief Audit Executives\, Internal Auditors\, CEOs\, Senior Management\, Aspiring Audit Committee Members\, Members of Board of Directors of corporations\, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs\, \nYour investment: \nThis Master Class shall be provided at a cost of KSh.95\,000. \nContinuous Professional Development Units: \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the Master Class. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on all participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and it will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events \, you can also reach us through marketing@icpak.com \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:The 34th Economic Symposium (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nHYBRID THE 34th ECONOMIC SYMPOSIUM\nTheme: Productivity to Prosperity: Re-shaping Key Sectors for a Future-Ready Economy\nDate: 18th – 20th February 2026\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino Thika Road\, Nairobi & Zoom \nOVERVIEW \nThe Kenyan economy is currently navigating a difficult period\, with signs of strain evident across multiple sectors. Labour market performance remains subdued\, characterised by slow growth in formal employment and a persistent decline in real wages. A significant proportion of newly created jobs continue to emerge within the informal sector—typically low-paying\, unstable\, and with limited social protection—thereby undermining broader economic welfare. \nAt the macro-fiscal level\, tax revenue has consistently fallen short of expectations\, with the World Bank reporting an average tax revenue slippage of 6.1% over the past three years. At the same time\, public debt has risen sharply to approximately 71.9% of GDP\, with the widening fiscal deficit increasingly financed through domestic borrowing. These dynamics collectively place the country at a high risk of debt distress. This indicates that without decisive and sustained fiscal reforms including implementation of the adopted national tax policy\, Kenya is likely to face prolonged budgetary pressures and constrained economic resilience. \nDespite these challenges\, Kenya’s medium-term outlook offers cautious optimism. Projections for 2026 indicate an expected GDP growth rate of 5.3%\, supported by improved performance in agriculture and industry as well as the continued implementation of targeted government interventions. While these forecasts point to some recovery\, it is widely acknowledged that growth prospects beyond 2025 remain tempered by persistent structural weaknesses and ongoing fiscal vulnerabilities. Moreover\, the sustainability of the projected growth trajectory depends heavily on a stable and supportive global economic environment. \nDomestically\, unlocking higher and more inclusive growth will require enhanced policy measures aimed at strengthening governance\, curbing endemic corruption\, addressing the implications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing\, and deepening participation in regional and international trade. Only through such comprehensive reforms can the country translate modest recovery signals into lasting economic resilience. \nSustained economic transformation requires more than short-term growth spurts—it demands deliberate\, long-range strategic interventions that enhance productivity across key sectors. As economies navigate complex global challenges—ranging from shifting geopolitical dynamics\, technological disruptions\, climate change\, to demographic transitions—productivity has emerged as the defining lever for resilience and competitiveness. \nKenya’s development aspirations\, as outlined in the Vision 2030\, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA)\, and other national frameworks\, place strong emphasis on sectoral revitalization\, industrial upgrading\, digitalization\, and skills development. However\, persistent productivity gaps continue to constrain the pace of growth\, limit value addition\, depress job creation\, and slow structural transformation. \nThe 2026 Economic Symposium offers a unique platform for the public and private sectors\, academia\, development partners\, and industry experts to reflect on the country’s productivity landscape\, diagnose sector-specific bottlenecks\, and co-create pathways for transforming productivity gains into broad-based prosperity. The theme “From Productivity to Prosperity: Re-shaping Key Sectors for a Future-Ready Economy” signals a shift from incremental reforms to bold\, systemic changes that prepare the economy for the future of work\, future markets\, and future technologies. \nAs Kenya positions itself within a rapidly evolving global economy\, boosting productivity across key sectors is no longer optional—it is imperative. The 2026 Economic Symposium provides the platform to reimagine strategies\, harness new opportunities\, and champion sectoral reforms that move the country from productivity to prosperity. Through collaborative action and forward-looking dialogue\, stakeholders can accelerate the transformation toward a resilient\, inclusive\, and future-ready economy. \nThe symposium therefore seeks to deepen understanding\, strengthen collaboration\, and ignite national commitment toward accelerating productivity improvements within critical sectors of the economy. It aims to build consensus on strategic actions necessary to elevate Kenya’s competitiveness\, foster inclusive growth\, and create a sustainable economic base capable of withstanding global volatility. \nThe symposium will be structured around high-impact sectoral and cross-cutting areas such as: \n\n Macroeconomic Trends\, Fiscal Pressures & Labour Market Dynamics\n\n\nUnderstanding Kenya’s subdued labour market: low formal job growth\, real wage erosion\, and informality\nDrivers of revenue underperformance and tax slippage\nPublic debt distress risks and implications for economic stability\n\n\nStrengthening Fiscal Governance & Implementing the National Tax Policy\n\n\nAddressing structural weaknesses in domestic revenue mobilisation\nEnhancing tax administration efficiency and compliance\nFiscal consolidation measures and expenditure rationalisation strategies\n\n\nGovernance\, Anti-Corruption & Compliance Reform Imperatives\n\n\nTackling endemic corruption as a productivity drain\nImplications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing and required national reforms\nGovernance and institutional strengthening as preconditions for sustainable growth\n\n\n Revitalising High-Potential Sectors: Agriculture\, Industry & Services\n\n\nAddressing structural bottlenecks in agriculture and enhancing value-chain competitiveness\nIndustrial upgrading\, MSME strengthening\, and expanding manufacturing output\nProductivity opportunities within tourism\, digital services\, finance\, and logistics\n\n\nDigitalization\, Technology & Innovation as Productivity Accelerators\n\n\nLeveraging AI\, automation\, and digital platforms to improve firm-level and sector-wide productivity\nBuilding robust digital infrastructure and cybersecurity capacity\nSupporting innovation ecosystems and technology adoption among MSMEs\n\n\nHuman Capital Development & Preparing for the Future of Work\n\n\nSkills gaps and workforce readiness amidst technological disruption\nAligning education and training systems with industry needs\nLabour market reforms to boost productivity and enhance job quality\n\n\nBuilding Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Systems\n\n\nTransitioning from low-quality informal employment to higher-value job creation\nGreen growth\, climate-smart interventions\, and resilience-building strategies\nEnhancing social protection and inclusive development mechanisms\n\n\nEnhancing Regional & Global Trade Competitiveness\n\n\nStrengthening participation in regional value chains\nTrade facilitation\, export competitiveness\, and market diversification\nPositioning Kenya within the global economy amidst geopolitical shifts\n\n\nCo-Creating a National Productivity Agenda for 2030 and Beyond\n\n\nAligning Vision 2030\, BETA\, and sectoral strategies for transformative productivity\nPublic–private collaboration in investment\, innovation\, and sector reform\nDesigning long-range productivity frameworks for resilience and prosperity\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis economic symposium is not limited to the accountancy profession only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\nNote: Delegates are required to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements.

SUMMARY:The 34th Economic Symposium (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 34th ECONOMIC SYMPOSIUM\nTheme: Productivity to Prosperity: Re-shaping Key Sectors for a Future-Ready Economy \nDate: 18th – 20th February 2026\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe Kenyan economy is currently navigating a difficult period\, with signs of strain evident across multiple sectors. Labour market performance remains subdued\, characterised by slow growth in formal employment and a persistent decline in real wages. A significant proportion of newly created jobs continue to emerge within the informal sector—typically low-paying\, unstable\, and with limited social protection—thereby undermining broader economic welfare. \nAt the macro-fiscal level\, tax revenue has consistently fallen short of expectations\, with the World Bank reporting an average tax revenue slippage of 6.1% over the past three years. At the same time\, public debt has risen sharply to approximately 71.9% of GDP\, with the widening fiscal deficit increasingly financed through domestic borrowing. These dynamics collectively place the country at a high risk of debt distress. This indicates that without decisive and sustained fiscal reforms including implementation of the adopted national tax policy\, Kenya is likely to face prolonged budgetary pressures and constrained economic resilience. \nDespite these challenges\, Kenya’s medium-term outlook offers cautious optimism. Projections for 2026 indicate an expected GDP growth rate of 5.3%\, supported by improved performance in agriculture and industry as well as the continued implementation of targeted government interventions. While these forecasts point to some recovery\, it is widely acknowledged that growth prospects beyond 2025 remain tempered by persistent structural weaknesses and ongoing fiscal vulnerabilities. Moreover\, the sustainability of the projected growth trajectory depends heavily on a stable and supportive global economic environment. \nDomestically\, unlocking higher and more inclusive growth will require enhanced policy measures aimed at strengthening governance\, curbing endemic corruption\, addressing the implications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing\, and deepening participation in regional and international trade. Only through such comprehensive reforms can the country translate modest recovery signals into lasting economic resilience. \nSustained economic transformation requires more than short-term growth spurts—it demands deliberate\, long-range strategic interventions that enhance productivity across key sectors. As economies navigate complex global challenges—ranging from shifting. \ngeopolitical dynamics\, technological disruptions\, climate change\, to demographic transitions—productivity has emerged as the defining lever for resilience and competitiveness. \nKenya’s development aspirations\, as outlined in the Vision 2030\, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA)\, and other national frameworks\, place strong emphasis on sectoral revitalization\, industrial upgrading\, digitalization\, and skills development. However\, persistent productivity gaps continue to constrain the pace of growth\, limit value addition\, depress job creation\, and slow structural transformation. \nThe 2026 Economic Symposium offers a unique platform for the public and private sectors\, academia\, development partners\, and industry experts to reflect on the country’s productivity landscape\, diagnose sector-specific bottlenecks\, and co-create pathways for transforming productivity gains into broad-based prosperity. The theme “From Productivity to Prosperity: Re-shaping Key Sectors for a Future-Ready Economy” signals a shift from incremental reforms to bold\, systemic changes that prepare the economy for the future of work\, future markets\, and future technologies. \nAs Kenya positions itself within a rapidly evolving global economy\, boosting productivity across key sectors is no longer optional—it is imperative. The 2026 Economic Symposium provides the platform to reimagine strategies\, harness new opportunities\, and champion sectoral reforms that move the country from productivity to prosperity. Through collaborative action and forward-looking dialogue\, stakeholders can accelerate the transformation toward a resilient\, inclusive\, and future-ready economy. \nThe symposium therefore seeks to deepen understanding\, strengthen collaboration\, and ignite national commitment toward accelerating productivity improvements within critical sectors of the economy. It aims to build consensus on strategic actions necessary to elevate Kenya’s competitiveness\, foster inclusive growth\, and create a sustainable economic base capable of withstanding global volatility. \nThe symposium will be structured around high-impact sectoral and cross-cutting areas such as: \n\n Macroeconomic Trends\, Fiscal Pressures & Labour Market Dynamics\n\n\nUnderstanding Kenya’s subdued labour market: low formal job growth\, real wage erosion\, and informality\nDrivers of revenue underperformance and tax slippage\nPublic debt distress risks and implications for economic stability\n\n\nStrengthening Fiscal Governance & Implementing the National Tax Policy\n\n\nAddressing structural weaknesses in domestic revenue mobilisation\nEnhancing tax administration efficiency and compliance\nFiscal consolidation measures and expenditure rationalisation strategies\n\n\nGovernance\, Anti-Corruption & Compliance Reform Imperatives\n\n\nTackling endemic corruption as a productivity drain\nImplications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing and required national reforms\nGovernance and institutional strengthening as preconditions for sustainable growth\n\n\n Revitalising High-Potential Sectors: Agriculture\, Industry & Services\n\n\nAddressing structural bottlenecks in agriculture and enhancing value-chain competitiveness\nIndustrial upgrading\, MSME strengthening\, and expanding manufacturing output\nProductivity opportunities within tourism\, digital services\, finance\, and logistics\n\n\nDigitalization\, Technology & Innovation as Productivity Accelerators\n\n\nLeveraging AI\, automation\, and digital platforms to improve firm-level and sector-wide productivity\nBuilding robust digital infrastructure and cybersecurity capacity\nSupporting innovation ecosystems and technology adoption among MSMEs\n\n\nHuman Capital Development & Preparing for the Future of Work\n\n\nSkills gaps and workforce readiness amidst technological disruption\nAligning education and training systems with industry needs\nLabour market reforms to boost productivity and enhance job quality\n\n\nBuilding Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Systems\n\n\nTransitioning from low-quality informal employment to higher-value job creation\nGreen growth\, climate-smart interventions\, and resilience-building strategies\nEnhancing social protection and inclusive development mechanisms\n\n\nEnhancing Regional & Global Trade Competitiveness\n\n\nStrengthening participation in regional value chains\nTrade facilitation\, export competitiveness\, and market diversification\nPositioning Kenya within the global economy amidst geopolitical shifts\n\n\nCo-Creating a National Productivity Agenda for 2030 and Beyond\n\n\nAligning Vision 2030\, BETA\, and sectoral strategies for transformative productivity\nPublic–private collaboration in investment\, innovation\, and sector reform\nDesigning long-range productivity frameworks for resilience and prosperity\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis economic symposium is not limited to the accountancy profession only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on seminar 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 Based Audit Planning-Practical Course
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRisk Based Audit Planning -Practical Course\nTheme: Enhancing Audit Effectiveness through Strategic Risk Assessment & Planning\nDate: 19th -20th February 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium CPA Centre \nOverview \nAuditing has evolved into a strategic function that requires professionals to go beyond verifying compliance to becoming proactive advisors who identify\, assess\, and mitigate risks that could impact organizational objectives. Organizations today operate in increasingly complex environments characterized by regulatory changes\, technological advancements\, financial uncertainties\, and stakeholder scrutiny. These complexities necessitate a modern audit approach that prioritizes high-risk areas\, ensures efficient allocation of resources\, and delivers assurance that is both relevant and value-adding. \nRisk-based audit planning has become an essential methodology for auditors to align their work with organizational priorities and risk exposure. By focusing on areas of greatest vulnerability\, auditors can anticipate potential issues\, strengthen internal controls\, and provide actionable insights to management and boards. Effective risk-based auditing enables organizations to minimize financial\, operational\, compliance\, and reputational risks while supporting strategic decision-making and long-term resilience. \nThis practical course equips participants with the skills\, frameworks\, and tools necessary to design and execute audit plans that are risk-informed\, targeted\, and efficient. Participants will gain hands-on experience in identifying and prioritizing operational\, financial\, strategic\, and compliance risks\, linking them to audit objectives\, and applying scenario analysis to complex\, interrelated risks. Emphasis is placed on leveraging dynamic risk registers\, evaluating controls\, and documenting audit plans in accordance with professional standards and best practices. \nAuditors are increasingly recognized as key strategic partners in governance and risk management. Through this course\, participants will understand how to enhance the effectiveness of audit processes\, provide meaningful assurance\, and strengthen enterprise risk management. They will also learn to integrate ethical considerations into audit planning\, ensuring transparency\, integrity\, and accountability in all engagements. \nIn this regard\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Risk-Based Audit Planning Practical Course to equip participants with the practical skills\, analytical tools\, and strategic insights required to function as Risk Champions. By the end of the two-day program\, participants will be able to plan and execute audits that are focused\, efficient\, and aligned with organizational priorities\, thereby enhancing governance\, audit quality\, and enterprise-wide risk management. \nThe course is designed to cover the following areas: \n\nFoundations of Risk-Based Audit Planning\nDeveloping and reviewing risk register\nRisk appetite formulation\nProcess of risk-based audit planning\n\n\nDeveloping an Effective Risk-Based Audit Plan (from beginning to end)\nDetermining Audit Priorities\nAssessing and scoring audit risks\nLinking Risks to the Audit Universe\n\n\nLeveraging technology: GRC and cloud-based risk management\n Utilizing GRC & cloud-based risk management platforms to enhance audit efficiency\n• Conducting scenario analysis for interrelated risks\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover course fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking:\nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.

SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IFRS S1 and S2 WORKSHOP 2026 (Mandatory Training) physical option
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP\nDATE: 2nd -6th March 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino\, Thika Road\, Nairobi \nTheme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2 \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global corporate reporting landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as sustainability-related risks and opportunities increasingly affect enterprise value\, capital allocation\, and long-term business viability. Investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and other capital providers are no longer satisfied with high-level ESG narratives; they are demanding decision-useful\, comparable\, and verifiable sustainability information that is clearly connected to financial performance and position. \nIn response to this demand\, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) to establish a global baseline for sustainability reporting that is investor-focused\, consistent\, and integrated with financial reporting. These standards reposition sustainability disclosures from stand-alone reports to an integral component of general-purpose financial reporting\, subject to governance\, controls\, and assurance expectations similar to those applied to financial statements. \nHowever\, despite growing awareness of IFRS S1 and S2\, many organizations face significant challenges in operationalizing the standards. Preparers often understand the conceptual requirements but struggle with practical questions such as: \n\nWhat constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?\nHow should governance\, strategy\, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?\nWhich metrics and targets are appropriate\, reliable\, and defensible?\nHow can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements\, assumptions\, and judgments?\nHow should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?\n\nIn many cases\, existing ESG reports are narrative-heavy\, inconsistently structured\, and weakly linked to financial outcomes. This creates credibility risks\, exposes organizations to accusations of greenwashing\, and undermines the usefulness of sustainability information for decision-making. For emerging and developing markets in particular\, capacity constraints\, data limitations\, and evolving regulatory expectations further compound these challenges. \nThis workshop is designed to respond to that bridge that gap. By focusing on practical reporting application rather than standard-by-standard exposition\, it aims to equip participants with the tools\, frameworks\, and confidence required to prepare clear\, coherent\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2. The workshop also recognizes sustainability reporting as a journey\, supporting participants in moving from initial compliance toward mature\, integrated\, and credible sustainability reporting practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, boards\, and auditors\n\n\nB.   Identifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments\n\n\nC.   Reporting Governance\, Strategy\, and Risk Management\n·         Governance disclosures: roles of the board and management \n·         Linking sustainability risks and opportunities to strategy \n·         Integrating sustainability into enterprise risk management (ERM) \n·         Avoiding boilerplate disclosures \n·         Examples of strong vs weak IFRS S1 governance narratives \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Selecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n·\n\n\nE.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices \n \n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n \nG.   Connectivity Between Sustainability and Financial Reporting\n·         Linking sustainability risks to financial impacts \n·         Implications for revenue\, costs\, assets\, liabilities\, and provisions \n·         Consistency between sustainability disclosures and management commentary \n·         Avoiding contradictions between ESG reports and financial statements \n·         Preparing for assurance and audit scrutiny\n\n\n \nH.   Climate-related Risks and Opportunities under IFRS S2\n·         Physical vs transition climate risks \n·         Short-\, medium-\, and long-term climate impacts \n·         Identifying climate-related opportunities \n·         Value chain and geographic considerations \n·         Climate-related targets and transition plans \n \n\n\n \nI.     Preparing a Coherent IFRS S1 & S2–Aligned Report\n·         Structuring sustainability disclosures \n·         Integrating IFRS S1 and S2 requirements coherently \n·         Avoiding duplication across reports \n·         Readiness for assurance and regulatory review \n·         Roadmap for continuous improvement and year-on-year enhancement\n\n\n\n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers who attend the workshop  in full will earn 20 Structured CPD Units. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 54\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for stationery\, daytime meals\, learning and giveaway materials\, online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events  and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).

SUMMARY:THE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1 (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1\nTheme: Strategic Tax Leadership for Compliance\, Efficiency & Sustainable Growth\nDate: 2nd – 6th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nTaxation is a cornerstone of organizational governance\, regulatory compliance\, and strategic decision-making\, influencing virtually every facet of an organization’s operations. Beyond its primary function of generating revenue for governments\, taxation shapes corporate strategy\, guides financial planning\, and informs sustainability initiatives. For modern organizations\, effective tax management is not merely a compliance exercise but a critical element of strategic foresight. The current tax environment is highly dynamic\, with frequent legislative amendments\, increasingly sophisticated enforcement by tax authorities\, the rise of digital tax administration\, and the influence of international tax reforms creating both opportunities and risks. Professionals tasked with navigating these dynamics—be they accountants\, finance managers\, tax practitioners\, or auditors—must possess an in-depth understanding of domestic and international tax regimes\, proactive risk management techniques\, and practical strategies to optimize tax positions while maintaining compliance. \nThe modern tax landscape in Kenya and across the globe presents multifaceted challenges that require comprehensive knowledge and careful navigation. Organizations face complex obligations such as corporate income tax\, VAT\, excise duties\, transfer pricing rules\, digital service taxes\, and emerging environmental or ESG-linked tax initiatives. Simultaneously\, compliance demands adherence to ethical standards\, internal governance protocols\, and transparent reporting practices. Mismanagement of tax obligations can result not only in financial penalties and legal sanctions but also in reputational damage that undermines stakeholder trust. The interconnected nature of taxation with corporate governance and operational decisions means that the roles of tax professionals extend far beyond traditional bookkeeping and filing. They are called upon to anticipate regulatory changes\, interpret nuanced legislative provisions\, advise management on strategic tax matters\, and ensure that organizational tax practices align with broader business objectives and governance frameworks. \nAt the same time\, taxation is increasingly recognized as a strategic instrument for organizational growth and sustainability. Thoughtful tax planning\, aligned with both corporate strategy and environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) objectives\, enables organizations to optimize resources\, leverage incentives\, and mitigate financial and operational risks. Tax professionals are expected to operate as strategic advisors\, moving beyond mere compliance reporting to interpret legislation\, provide guidance on cross-border and digital transactions\, and proactively engage with regulators to manage risk and unlock opportunities. Mastering these competencies requires a blend of technical expertise\, analytical acumen\, ethical judgment\, and strategic insight. Professionals must be capable of assessing complex tax scenarios\, modeling potential outcomes\, and integrating tax considerations into broader corporate decision-making. \nThe Taxation Masterclass is designed to respond to these multifarious demands by equipping participants with practical\, actionable skills and a deep understanding of the evolving tax environment. Through a structured curriculum combining technical instruction\, interactive discussions\, practical exercises\, and real-world case studies\, participants will engage with core topics such as corporate tax planning\, VAT and indirect tax compliance\, personal taxation\, international taxation\, transfer pricing\, tax audits\, dispute resolution\, and emerging trends in digital and ESG-linked taxes. The program emphasizes the integration of technology in tax administration\, highlighting how digital tools—such as e-filing systems\, data analytics platforms\, and automated compliance solutions—can enhance efficiency\, accuracy\, and strategic insight in tax management. By actively engaging with contemporary tax issues\, delegates will develop the confidence and expertise needed to anticipate challenges and implement best practices in their organizations. \nLeadership in taxation demands not only technical proficiency but also the ability to influence corporate decision-making and contribute meaningfully to organizational strategy. This Masterclass positions accountants and tax professionals as strategic partners who can align tax management with corporate objectives\, strengthen compliance\, and add tangible value to their organizations. Participants will learn to design and implement tax strategies that enhance long-term organizational performance\, mitigate risks\, and promote ethical\, transparent\, and accountable governance. By the end of the five-day program\, delegates will be equipped to navigate complex tax matters\, implement strategic tax solutions\, effectively engage with regulators\, and provide guidance that supports sustainable growth\, innovation\, and value creation. \nIn response to the evolving taxation landscape and the increasing strategic role of tax professionals\, ICPAK has organized this Masterclass to provide a robust platform for professional development\, peer exchange\, and practical learning. This program creates an avenue for participants to engage with experts\, explore real-world scenarios\, and apply best practices that are aligned with both domestic and international standards. By the conclusion of the training\, participants will possess the skills\, insights\, and strategic perspective necessary to manage complex tax environments\, optimize organizational tax outcomes\, ensure regulatory compliance\, and strengthen public trust through ethical and effective tax practice. \nDuring the masterclass the following areas will be covered:- \n\nRecent Developments in Tax Administration and compliance\nTransfer pricing\nTaxation of lumpsum amounts /Gratuity\nDeferred Taxation /Accounting\nCorporate and Income Taxes emerging trends\nSuccession planning and Trust

SUMMARY:THE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE\nDate: 9th – 13th March 2026 \nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nVenue: Travellers Beach Hotel and Club\, Mombasa\nTheme: Strategic Management Accounting for Value Creation\, Performance Excellence & Sustainable Growth \nOVERVIEW \nManagement accounting has transformed significantly from its traditional role of cost tracking and financial control to a strategic function that supports organizational value creation\, performance excellence\, and long-term sustainability. In an increasingly volatile business environment\, management accountants are now required to provide forward-looking insights\, integrate financial intelligence with strategic planning\, and enhance decision-making through robust analytical tools. This shift reflects the growing recognition of management accounting as a cornerstone of competitive advantage and institutional resilience. \nA strong management accounting framework brings together financial analysis\, risk management\, budgeting\, forecasting\, and performance monitoring into a cohesive system that drives strategic clarity. Through techniques such as scenario analysis\, cost optimization\, and strategic performance measurement\, management accountants help organizations align strategic objectives with daily operations. These functions empower leaders to anticipate emerging risks\, deploy resources efficiently\, and strengthen operational discipline in a way that enhances organizational agility and sustainability. \nOrganizations are also experiencing heightened expectations around accountability\, performance\, and resource stewardship. Management accounting plays an indispensable role in supporting these demands by offering structured tools such as variance analysis\, performance reviews\, and value-for-money assessments. These tools enable institutions to detect inefficiencies\, measure progress against strategic goals\, and ensure that financial decisions are aligned with long-term priorities. In environments where public trust\, governance\, and cost efficiency are critical\, the role of management accountants becomes even more central. \nDigital transformation is reshaping management accounting by introducing advanced tools such as automation\, predictive analytics\, digital dashboards\, and integrated reporting systems. These technologies enable real-time monitoring of performance\, more accurate forecasting\, and deeper insights into organizational dynamics. As organizations adopt these innovations\, management accountants are increasingly stepping into strategic leadership roles—driving transformation\, facilitating data-driven decisions\, and integrating financial and non-financial metrics to create a holistic performance landscape. \nIt is in response to these evolving demands that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Management Accounting & Strategy Conference. This program brings together accountants\, finance managers\, strategy professionals\, auditors\, public-sector leaders\, and governance practitioners to explore modern tools\, strategic frameworks\, and best practices in management accounting.

SUMMARY:CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nCORPORATE GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE\nTheme: Integrating Principles of Corporate Governance into The Values System of Leaders in Kenya\nDate: 16th to 20th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Hotel & Spa Mombasa \nINTRODUCTION \nCorporate governance is a system of rules\, policies\, and practices that dictate how a company’s board of directors manages and oversees the operations of a company. Corporate governance includes principles of transparency\, accountability\, and security. Poor corporate governance\, at best\, leads to a company failing to achieve its stated goals\, and\, at worst\, can lead to the collapse of the company and significant financial losses for shareholders. \nPerhaps one of the most important principles of corporate governance is the recognition of shareholders. The recognition is two-fold. First\, there is the basic recognition of the importance of shareholders to any company – people who buy the company’s stock fund its operations. Equity is one of the major sources of funding for businesses. Second\, from the basic recognition of shareholder importance follows the principle of responsibility to shareholders. The policy of allowing shareholders to elect a board of directors is critical. This means that shareholders\, effectively\, have a direct say in how a company is run. \nShareholder interest is a major part of corporate governance. Shareholders may reach out to the members of the community who don’t necessarily hold an interest in the company but who can nonetheless benefit from its goods or services. Reaching out to the members of the community encourages lines of communication that promote company transparency. It means that all members of the community – those who are directly or indirectly affected by the company – and members of the press get a clear sense of the company’s goals\, tactics\, and how it is doing in general. Transparency means that anyone\, whether inside or outside the company\, can choose to review and verify the company’s actions. This fosters trust and is likely to encourage more individuals to patronize the company and possibly become shareholders as well. \nAn increasingly important aspect of corporate governance is security. Shareholders and customers/clients need to feel confident that their personal information is not being leaked or accessed by unauthorized users. It’s equally important to ensure that the company’s proprietary processes and trade secrets are secure. A data breach is not just very expensive. It also weakens public trust in the company\, which can have a drastically negative effect on its stock price. Losing investor trust means losing access to capital that is necessary for corporate growth. Everyone in a company\, from entry-level staffers to members of the board\, needs to be well-versed in corporate security procedures such as passwords and authentication methods. \nLeadership\, both as a research area and as a practical skill\, encompasses the ability of an individual\, group or organization to lead\, influence or guide other individuals\, teams\, or entire organizations. Throughout history\, great leaders have emerged with leadership styles in providing direction\, implementing plans and motivating people. These can be broadly grouped into 5 different categories such as Authoritarian Leadership\, Participative Leadership\, Delegative Leadership\, Transactional Leadership and Transformational Leadership. Despite these definitions\, most leaders still struggle with the meaning of each leadership style mentioned above\, the difference between each leadership approach as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each style. This conference will explore each of these styles and provide an avenue for leaders to discuss on the best approach to take in leading their teams. \nAll leadership styles serve a purpose depending on the situation\, type of organization or industry\, and the personalities of the leadership and employees involved. The best approach is to become familiar with all leadership styles and understand the applications of each style. You will likely have a default style of leadership that you naturally exhibit or turn to. However\, it is important that you are flexible in how you lead others. To understand when to employ each type of leadership style it is essential to develop your ability to diagnose needs\, communicate effectively\, and be flexible in how you make decisions and interact with others. \nLeadership in business is the capacity of a company’s management to set and achieve challenging goals\, take fast and decisive action when needed\, outperform the competition\, and inspire others to perform at their highest levels. Leadership also speaks to a more holistic approach\, such as the tone of an organization or the culture that management establishes. Individuals with strong leadership skills in the business world often rise to executive positions. \nEffective leadership includes exhibiting a strong character. Leaders exhibit honesty\, integrity\, trustworthiness\, and ethics. Leaders act in line with how they speak and earn the right to be responsible for others’ success in the organization. Strong leadership involves clear communication skills. Leaders speak with and listen to staff members\, respond to questions and concerns\, and are empathetic. Leaders use effective communication skills for moving the company forward and achieving new levels of success. \nValues refer to beliefs or ideals shared by the members of a culture about what is good or bad\, desirable or undesirable. They are standards of conduct\, efficiency or worth which a society endorses\, maintains and even transmits to her members. Principles of Governance are normative principles that guide the state to perform its functions in a manner that promotes the general wellbeing of its people. \nNational Values and Principles of Governance are fundamental beliefs or ideals that guide the choices\, actions and behaviour of a nation. They are critical in building national identity and national character that guides the realization of national development. In addition\, National Values exert influence on the way individuals relate with one another\, how communities engage one another and how citizens and government interact to promote peace\, national unity and cohesion. \nNational Values and Principles of Governance are key in managing diversity and building national social capital that surpasses ethnic\, religious\, class and racial limitations. They cultivate internal social and cultural coherence which are based on national norms and interests that govern interactions focused on achieving national common good. It is because of the central role of values in organising\, inspiring\, transforming\, and guiding Kenyans that they are enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution. The National Values and Principles of Governance facilitate the building of bridges among communities\, ethnic\, religious\, and racial traditions and establish constitutionalism that binds and integrates Kenyans into a unitary nation-state. They provide opportunities to individuals and groups to pursue freedoms and happiness in a diverse society and a firmly united nation. \nThis Conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to discuss issues and challenges as well as dwell on topical areas such as: \n\nAn overview of King IV Code of Corporate Governance\nImplementation of the Mwongozo code of Corporate Governance in Kenya\nEffective management of shareholder activism\nLegal\, Institutional Policy Frameworks and Administrative Actions for the promotion of national values and principles of governance\nCorporate governance principles: An overview of the book G20/OECD- Principles of Corporate Governance\nEmerging trends in Board and executive compensation schemes\nFailures of corporate governance on both international and local landscape: A review of various case studies\nMainstreaming national values for behaviour change in Kenya\nEnhancing public trust through strengthening of corporate data security systems and processes\nChallenges that weaken the drive towards a cohesive united\, peaceful\, and prosperous nation\nEnhancing transparency through improved Corporate Governance reporting and disclosures\nSustaining ethical leadership under high pressure environments and turbulent times\nAn overview of different leadership styles:\n\n\nAuthoritarian Leadership\nParticipative Leadership\nDelegative Leadership\nTransactional Leadership\nTransformational Leadership\n\n\nModern day leadership: Leading inter- generational teams\nThe place of leadership in managing productivity & time management: A look at the tools and technology for use by leaders in modern times\nThe role of transformational leadership in leading and managing change\nEffective communication styles and tips for leaders: Enhancing presentation skills and influence in engagements\n\n FINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\n**Charges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the Governance and Leadership Conference. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR COUNTY GOVERNMENTS AND OTHER PUBLIC-SECTOR ENTITIES 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nFINANCIAL REPORTING FOR COUNTY GOVERNMENTS & OTHER PUBLIC-SECTOR ENTITIES 2026\nDate: 23rd -27th March 2026 \nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort\, Mombasa\nTheme: Strengthening Public Sector Accountability through Enhanced Financial Reporting Practices \nOVERVIEW \nHigh-quality financial reporting remains a cornerstone of good governance\, prudent resource management\, and public accountability across County Governments and public-sector institutions. In a context where citizens increasingly demand transparency and evidence-based decision-making\, financial reports must provide a clear\, accurate\, and comprehensive reflection of how public resources have been planned\, allocated\, and utilized. Robust reporting enhances credibility\, supports better oversight\, and enables institutions to demonstrate stewardship over assets\, liabilities\, and public funds. As governance evolves\, financial reporting is no longer a routine administrative function but a strategic tool that directly influences trust\, service delivery\, and institutional legitimacy. \nEffective financial reporting requires more than compiling figures at year-end. It is built on well-structured processes\, a strong internal control environment\, and adherence to established standards such as those issued by the Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (PSASB)\, which align with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This includes consistent application of recognition\, measurement\, and disclosure principles; maintenance of reliable asset registers; regular reconciliations; and preparation of budgets that clearly articulate strategic priorities. When executed properly\, these standards enhance comparability across public institutions and strengthen compliance with statutory requirements under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and its associated regulations. \nDespite advancements in public financial management reforms\, County Governments and public-sector entities continue to face persistent challenges that undermine the quality of financial statements. These include incomplete asset valuation exercises\, pending bills\, irregular expenditure\, weak documentation\, limited automation\, skills gaps\, and inconsistencies in applying IPSAS-compliant templates. Such challenges contribute to recurring audit queries\, delay in reporting\, reduced fiscal discipline\, and diminished public trust. Addressing these issues requires targeted interventions\, capacity building\, and leadership commitment to improving financial management systems and practices. \nThe public sector now operates in a dynamic environment shaped by evolving regulations\, heightened audit expectations\, technological disruption\, and increased scrutiny from citizens and oversight bodies. Complex issues such as climate-related disclosures\, budget execution pressures\, stalled development projects\, and governance risks demand robust and forward-looking reporting frameworks. County Governments must adopt modern approaches that integrate financial data with risk\, performance\, and service delivery information. Strengthening these linkages ensures that financial reports are not only compliant but also relevant\, insightful\, and aligned with national development agendas. \nFurthermore\, dependence on traditional manual processes exposes entities to errors\, inefficiencies\, and compliance challenges. Emerging digital solutions—including integrated financial management systems (such as IFMIS)\, digital asset registers\, automated reconciliations\, and analytics tools—offer opportunities to enhance accuracy\, timeliness\, and transparency. The adoption of these tools\, supported by trained professionals and sound internal controls\, enables institutions to transition from reactive financial reporting to proactive\, data-driven decision-making. This transformation strengthens accountability\, supports evidence-based budgeting\, and ensures that public resources are managed responsibly. \nIn response to these developments\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this comprehensive program to build the technical and practical competencies required for preparing high-quality financial statements in line with PSASB and reporting requirements. The training provides an in-depth exploration of reporting standards\, budgeting frameworks\, audit processes\, internal controls\, asset management\, and emerging trends in public-sector reporting. Through expert-led sessions\, case studies\, and peer learning\, participants will gain practical insights into common pitfalls\, receive updated templates and tools\, and develop actionable strategies to strengthen financial reporting\, enhance governance\, and improve service delivery within their respective institutions. \nDuring the workshop the following areas will be covered: – \n\nPublic Sector Budgeting: Feedback from the Office of the Controller of Budget\nCashflow Management and financial planning for counties\n\n\nLong-term financial sustainability analysis\nRevenue forecasting and modeling\nFiscal strategy development\nBudget-performance linkage\nFinancial scenario planning\n\n\nDeferred Income & Taxation in the Public Sector\n\n\nRecognition & measurement of deferred income under IPSAS 23\nTreatment of conditional vs unconditional grants\nPAYE\, VAT & Withholding tax compliance for counties\nTax implications of county revenue streams\n\n4.

DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nGRANTS MANAGEMENT\, COMPLIANCE & FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR\nDate: 30th March – 2nd April 2026 \nVenue: SAROVA WOODLADS HOTEL\, NAKURU\nTheme: “Strengthening Grants Management and Financial Reporting to Safeguard Donor Confidence” \nOVERVIEW \nThe operational and accountability landscape for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) and grant-funded entities is becoming increasingly complex and demanding. Stakeholders\, including donors\, regulators\, beneficiaries\, and the public\, require enhanced transparency\, rigorous compliance\, and comprehensive reporting that goes beyond mere financial numbers to demonstrate impact and sustainability. \nA pivotal development in this environment is the gradual adoption and transition to the International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS). These standards provide a globally accepted accounting framework tailored specifically for the unique characteristics of not-for-profit entities. Transitioning to INPAS requires NPOs to strengthen their financial management systems\, adopt accrual accounting principles\, improve recognition of assets and liabilities\, and enhance the accuracy and consistency of financial reporting. This transition poses significant challenges\, including revising accounting policies\, training finance teams\, and aligning donor reporting with new standards\, all while maintaining operational continuity and compliance with varying donor requirements. \nIn parallel\, there is growing recognition of the importance of narrative reporting in the nonprofit sector. Donors and stakeholders increasingly seek richer contextual information that links financial inputs to programme outcomes and social impact. Narrative reporting complements financial statements by providing qualitative insights into how funds are utilized to achieve mission objectives\, thereby fostering trust\, accountability\, and informed decision-making. \nEffective budgeting is another cornerstone of sound grants management. Accurate and realistic budgets enable NPOs to allocate resources efficiently\, respond to dynamic programme needs\, and comply with donor restrictions and cost recovery policies. However\, many organizations face challenges in preparing budgets that balance operational realities with donor expectations\, including handling multi-year grants\, exchange rate volatility\, and overhead allocations. \nAdditionally\, the rising global emphasis on Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) considerations is reshaping how NPOs operate and report. Stakeholders now expect nonprofits to embed ESG principles into their governance\, operational practices\, and reporting frameworks. This includes managing environmental impacts\, promoting social inclusion and equity\, and demonstrating good governance and ethical practices. Integrating ESG into financial and narrative reporting enhances organizational resilience\, donor confidence\, and the overall sustainability of programmes. \nThis seminar aims to equip grants managers\, finance professionals\, programme officers\, and compliance personnel with the knowledge\, skills\, and practical tools to effectively manage grants through the entire lifecycle\, ensure compliance with donor and regulatory requirements\, prepare robust financial and narrative reports\, and integrate ESG considerations into their operations. By addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by INPAS transition\, narrative reporting\, effective budgeting\, and ESG integration\, the seminar supports NPOs to strengthen accountability\, improve audit readiness\, and demonstrate their commitment to transparent\, impactful stewardship of resources. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nGrants Landscape & the Grant Lifecycle \n \n·         Fundamentals of Grants Management \n·         Types of grants \n·         Key stages \n·         Roles & responsibilities\n\n\nGrant Agreements\, Terms & Conditions\, and Compliance Obligations\n·         Relationship between actuarial valuation reports and financial statements \n·         Interpreting grant agreements\, annexes and budget lines. \n·         Common restrictive clauses (eligibility\, branding\, procurement rules\, currencies). \n·         Compliance calendars and performance indicators.\n\n\nBudgeting for Grants: From Proposal to Approved Budget\n·         Types of costs: direct vs indirect\, capital vs recurrent\, allocable vs unallowable. \n·         Cost principles\, allocation methods and overheads/indirect cost rates. \n·         Budget revisions and re-forecasting \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nProcurement\, Asset Management & Eligible Costs\n·         Donor procurement rules vs procurement best practice. \n·         Tendering\, supplier selection\, contract management and conflict-of-interest controls. \n·         Capitalisation\, fixed assets register and disposals under donors’ rules. \n \n\n\nINPAS: Purpose\, Scope and Strategic Implications for Kenyan NPOs\n·         Why INPAS was developed and its principal objectives (transparency\, comparability\, credibility). \n·         INPAS’ scope\, relationship to IFRS for SMEs / IFRS / IPSAS and when NPOs should use it. \n·         High-level differences NPOs must anticipate (fund accounting\, narrative reporting\, grant treatment). \n·         Strategic implications for boards\, funders and auditors;

SUMMARY:THE 9TH BOARD MASTERCLASS
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 9TH BOARD MASTERCLASS\nTheme: Agile and Future-Ready Boards: Driving Value\, Resilience\, and Strategic Leadership\nDATE: 13TH – 17TH APRIL 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM\nVENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA\, MOMBASA \nOVERVIEW \nBoards of directors are the ultimate custodians of an organization’s purpose\, mission\, and long-term value creation. They carry the responsibility of guiding institutions through complex and often unpredictable environments while ensuring that stakeholder trust\, public accountability\, and organizational integrity are upheld. In today’s fast-evolving landscape\, boards are confronted with unprecedented pressures that range from technological disruption\, rapid digitization\, and market volatility to regulatory shifts\, ESG imperatives\, climate-related risks\, geopolitical instability\, and heightened expectations from investors\, regulators\, and the public for transparency\, accountability\, and sustainable impact. \nThe ability to respond effectively to these multidimensional pressures requires more than technical expertise; it calls for strategic foresight\, adaptive leadership\, emotional intelligence\, and a profound understanding of governance dynamics. Board members must make informed\, forward-looking decisions while simultaneously fostering alignment\, collaboration\, and cohesion among diverse stakeholders within and outside the boardroom. \nThe role of the board chair has never been more critical. Chairs are tasked with orchestrating the board’s overall effectiveness\, navigating the interplay of diverse personalities\, resolving conflicts\, and ensuring that governance processes are executed efficiently and transparently. They must cultivate strong\, productive relationships with the CEO\, Board Secretary\, and management team while ensuring that directors collectively exercise their fiduciary duties to the highest standard. The effectiveness of the chair in balancing the contributions of both first-time and experienced directors can significantly influence board culture\, decision-making quality\, and organizational performance. Similarly\, boards must actively work to establish a culture of trust\, accountability\, and continuous learning\, while ensuring that strategic priorities are translated into actionable outcomes for the organization. \nThe 21st-century boardroom is no longer a ceremonial space reserved for quarterly reviews or compliance reporting. It has evolved into a dynamic and strategic arena where governance\, strategy\, risk management\, and stakeholder engagement converge. Directors are expected to cultivate agility\, enabling them to anticipate change\, respond effectively in real time\, and make decisions under uncertainty. Agile boards are characterized by their ability to embrace diversity of thought\, encourage psychological safety\, promote constructive dissent\, and challenge entrenched assumptions. They are courageous and innovative\, willing to rethink strategy\, disrupt legacy processes\, and lead organizational transformation while maintaining focus on long-term sustainability. In this environment\, boards that fail to adapt risk falling behind\, as stakeholders increasingly demand evidence of proactive leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and measurable organizational impact. \nSustainability and ESG considerations have transitioned from peripheral topics to central elements of board responsibility. Directors are expected to oversee climate action\, social initiatives\, ethical conduct\, and integrated reporting with the same rigor traditionally applied to financial oversight. Boards must ensure that ESG strategies are aligned with organizational objectives\, embedded into decision-making frameworks\, and communicated transparently to stakeholders. In parallel\, the rapid advancement of technology has transformed how boards operate. Digital intelligence—including AI\, data governance\, cybersecurity\, and emerging tech—requires directors to be well-versed in tech-driven risks and opportunities\, enabling them to provide strategic oversight of digital transformation initiatives. The convergence of ESG\, technological innovation\, and governance demands that boards operate with both strategic acumen and operational insight to safeguard the organization’s long-term viability. \nThe 9th Board Masterclass is designed to equip both new and experienced directors with the mindset\, knowledge\, and practical tools necessary to lead high-performing\, resilient\, and future-ready boards. Over five days\, participants will engage in expert-led sessions\, case studies\, interactive simulations\, and peer learning\, exploring contemporary topics including board leadership\, culture\, performance\, risk governance\, sustainability\, digital transformation\, and strategic foresight. Beyond technical and strategic competencies\, the Masterclass emphasizes the human dimensions of governance—interpersonal dynamics\, leadership styles\, conflict resolution\, and cultural factors that influence boardroom effectiveness. Participants will also gain insights into practical approaches for fostering inclusive\, adaptive\, and agile boards capable of responding to change while maintaining ethical standards and public trust. \nBy the conclusion of this Masterclass\, participants will have developed the knowledge\, skills\, and confidence to make informed strategic decisions\, foster board cohesion\, champion ESG and digital initiatives\, and lead with integrity\, foresight\, and resilience. The program serves not only as a comprehensive learning experience but also as a leadership retreat and strategic reset. It challenges boards to reflect on their current practices\, anticipate emerging trends\, and adopt governance approaches that maximize value\, enhance organizational resilience\, and ensure sustainable impact in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Board Competence: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Strategic Board Leadership\n1.

SUMMARY:PRACTICAL ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE SEMINAR 2026 Mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPRACTICAL ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE SEMINAR\nTheme: Enhancing professionalism and personal values for professional accountants\nDate: 13th – 17th April 2026\nTime: 9 am – 4 pm\nVenue: Enashipai\, Naivasha. \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nAt its simplest\, ethics is a system of moral principles or rules that say what is and what is not acceptable. Ethics are largely described as the principles that guide a person’s behaviour while undertaking day to day activities. Occasionally\, in certain jurisdictions some ethical values get enacted as laws. Governing laws are structured rules utilized to govern a society whereas ethics are a set of moral values an individual establishes. Ethical behaviours apply to any employee\, team leader or supervisor. They should display a behaviour that is honest and fair in their relationship with their co-workers and clients. A culture of ethical businesses is vital to the success of any business. \nA leader who personifies ethical behaviour will be fair in all situations. In turn\, employees will trust their leadership team and aid in achievement of the organizational goals. Ethical behaviour includes honesty\, integrity\, fairness and a host of other positive traits. Businesses are expected to act in an ethically responsible manner\, carrying out its activities in a legal manner even when the business has nothing to benefit from being ethical. Professional ethics provides a means to solve certain ethical problems related to a particular profession. Professional ethics contain the ideals that govern the conduct of a professional or a group of them. This means that an ethical business will act in a socially responsible way\, doing what is right even if it is not required to do so by legislation or regulation\, and regardless of the impact it might have on profits. Professionals are required to practice reasonable\, responsible and transparent behaviour that consciously avoids harmful actions by embodying high ethical standards. \nProfessional ethics in business is paramount and more so in the accounting profession where the end user of information and services has to place trust in the professionals. Professional accountants are constantly faced with ethical dilemmas such as lack of independence in practice\, conflict of interest\, falsified financial reports\, and facilitating or receiving bribes etc however they are required to carry out their roles in a rational\, accountable and transparent manner by upholding high ethical standards to avoid unethical actions. \nConsequently\, the rise in ethical issues all over the world means that all professionals contribute to at least a percentage and even the most properly regulated professional bodies globally have developed a set of standards that have to be adhered to by the members. This explains the need for professional ethics and their application for members. It is in this context Institute has organized a two-day virtual workshop to explore the ethical considerations which are practically applicable in the workplace and as expected professionally. \nThe International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) develops and promotes the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards). The IESBA also supports debate on issues related to accounting ethics and auditor independence. In 2018\, the IESBA issued a revised and restructured Code which came into effect in June 2019. The revised and restructured Code includes many substantive revisions\, including in relation to non-compliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR). The 2018 version of the Code makes it clear that professional accountant\, in whatever capacity they are engaged\, cannot turn a blind eye to NOCLAR. The provisions in the Code\, including NOCLAR guide ethical behavior and help professional accountants uphold their responsibility to act in the public interest. The IESBA Code also includes a principles-based definition of what constitutes a network. The definition covers the way a group of companies operate and present themselves and is consistent with the Statutory Audit Directive. \nAll accountants are expected to subscribe to this code of ethics. With the growing necessity for patriotic and nationalistic individuals to step up to lead the country in every sector that they are involved in\, it is in this recognition that the Institute has organized for the Practical Ethics and Compliance Seminar to address: \nTOPICS \n\nOverview of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants-Practical Application of International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\nImportant ethical requirements that professional accountants should keep in mind:\n\n\nResponsibilities\nPublic Interest\nIntegrity\nObjectivity and Independence\nDue Care\nScope and Nature of Services\n\n\nEthical dilemmas for professional accountants in public and private sectors\nProfessional Ethics in Practice – Considerations for the Accountant\, personal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nThe Corruption Challenge in Kenya and Ethical Perspectives-Lessons from the EACC on ethics for professionals and the fight against corruption\nAssessing the true cost of corruption and unethical behavior to the business\nPersonal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nProfessional Misconduct and the Ethical Link – Insights from the ICPAK Disciplinary Committee\nBuilding an Ethical Organization and Capability Among Professionals\nRole of the accountant in sustainable governance\nEthical issues in the workplace/business\nEmerging issues and trends on ethics\, risk\, and reporting\nBroader view of board diversity to include ethnicity and race\nSetting up an effective internal controls’ framework in support of organizational ethics and integrity\nOrganisational Culture and its impact on ethics for professionals: Effective tone at the top in setting the right culture\nEthics and Leadership\n\n\nAccounting Professionals as an ethical role model and guardian of integrity\nIntegrating integrity into business strategy and corporate culture\nMobilizing people to make a positive change in the world and promote public values\nPractical approaches of reducing corporate failures\n\n\nDeveloping resilience- Mental health for professionals\n\nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\n**Charges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance.  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 2026 Practical Ethics & Compliance Seminar. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum-Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Mental Health\nTheme- Strengthening Wellbeing\, Resilience\, and Professional Performance Through Mental Health Awareness\nTime: 04pm-06pm\nDate: 15th April 2026\nVenue- ICPAK Auditorium\, CPA Centre \nOverview: \nMental health has emerged as a central pillar of professional effectiveness\, resilience\, and sustainable performance. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders\, mental health awareness is critical in navigating high-pressure environments\, tight deadlines\, regulatory scrutiny\, and stakeholder expectations. It encompasses the ability to recognize\, understand\, and manage one’s own mental and emotional wellbeing\, while also fostering supportive relationships and healthy work environments. \nA strong foundation in mental health awareness enhances self-care\, stress management\, emotional regulation\, and resilience. Professionals equipped with these skills are better able to maintain focus\, make sound decisions under pressure\, manage work-related stress\, and engage constructively with colleagues\, clients\, and stakeholders. Recognizing early warning signs\, developing coping strategies\, and accessing support are vital competencies that enable individuals and teams to thrive\, even in high-stakes professional contexts. \nOrganizations and professional environments that prioritize mental health see tangible benefits in performance\, collaboration\, and innovation. Teams with mentally healthy work cultures demonstrate higher engagement\, psychological safety\, accountability\, and adaptive capacity. Leaders who model and promote mental wellbeing create environments where individuals feel supported\, empowered\, and motivated to contribute meaningfully. As professional workplaces contend with long hours\, complex client demands\, and remote or hybrid work dynamics\, mental health awareness has become essential for sustainable professional growth and organizational resilience. \nThis Evening Networking Forum offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of mental health while engaging in a physical\, interactive setting. Through guided discussions\, scenario-based activities\, and practical exercises\, participants will explore strategies to manage stress\, maintain resilience\, and support colleagues’ mental wellbeing. The session blends learning with networking\, allowing participants to practice insights in real interpersonal interactions in a supportive environment. \nA practical component\, The Mental Health Mirror\, enables participants to reflect on personal stress triggers\, coping mechanisms\, and behavioral patterns that affect wellbeing. Peer-based exercises reinforce understanding\, encourage empathy\, and provide a safe space to practice stress management and self-care strategies while receiving constructive feedback. \nIn recognition of the importance of mental health in professional performance and leadership effectiveness\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this Evening Networking Forum. The session is designed to inspire self-awareness\, promote resilience\, and empower participants to integrate mental health strategies into their professional and personal lives. \nThe forum is designed to cover the following areas: \n\nFoundations of Mental Health for Professionals\nMental Health and Professional Effectiveness\nThe Mental Health Mirror: Guided Self-Reflection and Practical Application\nApplying Mental Health Awareness in Real Workplace Scenarios\nNetworking with Mental Health Awareness\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis forum is designed for professionals from all industries and experience levels who are looking to improve their ability to manage stress and build resilience in their careers \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending and participating in the forum. \nFinancial Commitment: \nThe workshop charges are Kes. 2\,000.

It encompasses the ability to recognize\, understand\, and manage one’s own mental and emotional wellbeing\, while also fostering supportive relationships and healthy work environments. \nA strong foundation in mental health awareness enhances self-care\, stress management\, emotional regulation\, and resilience. Professionals equipped with these skills are better able to maintain focus\, make sound decisions under pressure\, manage work-related stress\, and engage constructively with colleagues\, clients\, and stakeholders. Recognizing early warning signs\, developing coping strategies\, and accessing support are vital competencies that enable individuals and teams to thrive\, even in high-stakes professional contexts. \nOrganizations and professional environments that prioritize mental health see tangible benefits in performance\, collaboration\, and innovation. Teams with mentally healthy work cultures demonstrate higher engagement\, psychological safety\, accountability\, and adaptive capacity. Leaders who model and promote mental wellbeing create environments where individuals feel supported\, empowered\, and motivated to contribute meaningfully. As professional workplaces contend with long hours\, complex client demands\, and remote or hybrid work dynamics\, mental health awareness has become essential for sustainable professional growth and organizational resilience. \nThis Evening Networking Forum offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of mental health while engaging in a physical\, interactive setting. Through guided discussions\, scenario-based activities\, and practical exercises\, participants will explore strategies to manage stress\, maintain resilience\, and support colleagues’ mental wellbeing. The session blends learning with networking\, allowing participants to practice insights in real interpersonal interactions in a supportive environment. \nA practical component\, The Mental Health Mirror\, enables participants to reflect on personal stress triggers\, coping mechanisms\, and behavioral patterns that affect wellbeing. Peer-based exercises reinforce understanding\, encourage empathy\, and provide a safe space to practice stress management and self-care strategies while receiving constructive feedback. \nIn recognition of the importance of mental health in professional performance and leadership effectiveness\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this Evening Networking Forum. The session is designed to inspire self-awareness\, promote resilience\, and empower participants to integrate mental health strategies into their professional and personal lives. \nThe forum is designed to cover the following areas: \n\nFoundations of Mental Health for Professionals\nMental Health and Professional Effectiveness\nThe Mental Health Mirror: Guided Self-Reflection and Practical Application\nApplying Mental Health Awareness in Real Workplace Scenarios\nNetworking with Mental Health Awareness\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis forum is designed for professionals from all industries and experience levels who are looking to improve their ability to manage stress and build resilience in their careers \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending and participating in the forum. \nFinancial Commitment: \nThe workshop charges are Kes. 2\,000.

SUMMARY:THE ANNUAL CONVENTION FOR CEOs\, ACCOUNTING OFFICERS AND CECs
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE ANNUAL CONVENTION FOR CEOs\, ACCOUNTING OFFICERS & CECs\nTheme: Future-Ready Leadership: Driving Value\, Resilience & Strategic Impact\nDate: 20th – 24th April 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nINTRODUCTION\nLeadership\, governance\, and public sector accountability continue to serve as foundational pillars for national development\, public confidence\, and institutional effectiveness across the world. In recent years\, Kenya—like many countries across Africa and beyond—has experienced significant shifts in its governance\, fiscal management\, and public service delivery landscape. These developments have been influenced by technological advancements\, evolving regulatory frameworks\, heightened public scrutiny\, and a global push toward ethical leadership\, transparency\, and sustainable development. Increasingly\, leaders are required to operate in environments defined by complexity\, uncertainty\, and accelerated change. \nIn Kenya\, rising fiscal pressures\, growing public expectations\, and intensified demands for accountability have compelled public institutions to rethink how they manage resources\, deliver services\, and uphold ethical standards. County Governments\, State Corporations\, and national agencies face competing priorities: addressing revenue constraints\, strengthening internal controls\, improving procurement management\, leveraging technology\, and aligning institutional mandates with national development agendas such as Vision 2030\, MTP IV\, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA)\, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nAt the same time\, the digital transformation of government processes—ranging from e-citizen services to automated financial management systems—has reshaped how leaders plan\, execute\, monitor\, and account for public resources. These shifts demand leaders who possess not only technical and strategic competency\, but also agility\, ethical grounding\, and the ability to lead high-performance institutions in dynamic environments. \nRegional integration within the East African Community\, global economic realignments\, and shifting geopolitical dynamics have further underscored the need for resilient\, future-ready leadership. As public and private sector organizations expand their mandates\, adopt new technologies\, and navigate increasing risk exposure\, executives must be well-equipped to evaluate emerging threats\, leverage innovation\, strengthen stakeholder engagement\, and build systems that promote stability and long-term sustainability. Issues such as public debt sustainability\, environmental and social governance (ESG)\, climate-related risks\, service delivery challenges\, and growing citizen demands have made leadership more complex than ever before. \nAmidst these pressures\, the need for strong ethical leadership\, strategic decision-making\, and governance excellence has grown significantly. Executives must be capable of cultivating integrity-driven institutional cultures\, managing reputational risk\, enhancing communication with stakeholders\, and ensuring compliance with the law while upholding public trust. The expectations placed on CEOs\, Accounting Officers\, and CECs have deepened\, requiring a blend of strategic foresight\, operational discipline\, ethical awareness\, and collaborative leadership. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Annual Convention for CEOs\, Accounting Officers & CECs provides a timely\, high-impact\, and forward-looking platform for capacity building\, policy dialogue\, and practical learning. The five-day convention brings together senior leaders\, policymakers\, governance experts\, and technical specialists to explore best practices\, emerging issues\, and innovative approaches shaping leadership in Kenya’s public and private sectors. Through knowledge-sharing\, panel discussions\, case studies\, and interactive sessions\, the convention equips participants with the frameworks\, insights\, and tools necessary to enhance institutional performance\, strengthen governance structures\, manage risks\, and deliver sustainable public value. \nANNUAL CONVENTION OBJECTIVES\nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\n Strengthen understanding of enterprise risk management foundations: Deepen knowledge of core risk management principles\, frameworks\, and best practices relevant to accountants\, auditors\, and risk champions.\n Enhance capacity in risk identification and analysis: Build skills in recognizing\, documenting\, and analyzing risks using structured methodologies\, stakeholder engagement techniques\, and evidence-based approaches.\n\niii.

Enhance knowledge of technology-enabled risk management: Explore how GRC platforms\, cloud-based solutions\, and automated tools enhance risk tracking\, reporting\, visualization\, and documentation. \nviii. Promote ethical and professional conduct in risk governance: Reinforce integrity\, independence\, and accountability as central pillars of effective risk management and audit practice. \n\n Strengthen application of scenario analysis: Gain practical experience in modeling interconnected risks\, stress-testing assumptions\, and evaluating the resilience of mitigation measures.\n Foster practical capability through casework and exercises: Engage in hands-on sessions\, group assignments\, and real-world case studies to translate risk-based audit planning concepts into actionable skills.\n Support continuous professional development: Enhance technical competence and practical readiness of accountants and auditors in line with ICPAK’s professional standards\, regulatory expectations\, and CPD requirements.\n\nANNUAL CONVENTION TOPICS\nThe  Annual Convention for CEOs\, Accounting Officers & CECs will delve into the following topical areas among others: \nTheme 1: Strategic Leadership and Governance Excellence \n\nLeadership Competencies for Modern CEOs and Accounting Officers\nBoard Dynamics\, Roles\, Responsibilities & Effective Oversight\nStrengthening Collaboration with Senior Management & Stakeholders\n\nTheme 2: Risk\, Resilience & Decision-Making \n\nEnterprise Risk Management for Executives\nRisk-Informed Decision-Making and Scenario Planning\nCrisis Management\, Continuity Planning & Organizational Resilience\n\nTheme 3: Financial Stewardship & Accountability \n\nOversight of Public and Private Resources\nEthical Financial Management\, Compliance & Audit Readiness\nReporting\, Transparency & Accountability for Decision-Making\nFeedback from OAG & COB\n\nTheme 4: Change\, Digital Transformation & Stakeholder Engagement \n\nLeading Institutional Change and Transformation\nLeveraging Technology\, Data & Digital Systems for Performance\nCommunication\, Public Engagement & Strengthening Public Confidence\n\nTheme 5: Sustainability\, ESG & Public Value \n\nIntegrating ESG Principles into Strategy and Operations\nAligning Institutional Goals with SDGs & National Development Priorities\nCounty Government Sustainability\, OSR Enhancement & Service Delivery\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe Convention will be beneficial to CEOs\, Managing Directors\, General Managers\, Deputy CEOs\, CECs from County Governments\, Academia and other interested professionals.  \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements.\n\nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the Convention. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on all participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY and is available online at www.icpak.com/events. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.
