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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Practical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions

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

Practical Measurement of Scope 2 Emissions

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

Practical Measurement of Scope 3 Emissions

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

GHG Data Management and Internal Controls

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

Preparation of GHG Emissions Reports

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

Verification and Assurance Readiness

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

Linking GHG Measurement to Strategy and Performance

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

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

ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
2026-09-21 09:00 - 2026-09-25 15:30 | Sarova Woodlands Hotel, Nakuru
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
THEME: Navigating Uncertainty Through Adaptive Enterprise Risk Management
DATE: 21st – 25th SEPTEMBER 2026
VENUE: SAROVA WOODLANDS HOTEL, NAKURU
TIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The global business environment is experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty and disruption. Organizations are operating amidst economic volatility, geopolitical tensions, climate-related challenges, rapid technological advancements, evolving regulatory requirements, and increasing stakeholder expectations. These developments have fundamentally altered the risk landscape, requiring organizations to rethink how risks are identified, assessed, managed, and leveraged to create sustainable value.
The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report continues to highlight critical risks facing organizations including cyber insecurity, climate change, misinformation and disinformation, geopolitical conflicts, economic instability, and disruptions arising from emerging technologies. At the same time, organizations are increasingly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, digital platforms, and data-driven business models, creating both unprecedented opportunities and new categories of risk that require effective governance and oversight.
Within Kenya and across the region, organizations continue to navigate an increasingly dynamic environment characterized by economic pressures, regulatory reforms, digital transformation initiatives, sustainability demands, cybersecurity threats, supply chain vulnerabilities, and heightened public scrutiny. These realities demand that organizations build resilience, strengthen governance, improve strategic agility, and enhance their ability to respond effectively to emerging risks and opportunities.
Consequently, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is no longer viewed merely as a compliance or control function. Modern ERM has evolved into a strategic management discipline that supports decision-making, drives organizational performance, protects value, enhances resilience, and enables sustainable growth. Organizations that successfully integrate risk management into strategy and operations are better positioned to anticipate disruptions, adapt to change, capitalize on opportunities, and maintain stakeholder confidence.
The ERM Master Class 2026 has been designed to equip participants with advanced knowledge, and strategic insights necessary to navigate today’s complex risk environment. Building upon traditional ERM principles, this year’s programme introduces contemporary themes including Artificial Intelligence governance, cyber resilience, climate and sustainability risks, organizational resilience, risk analytics, digital transformation, and the future role of risk professionals.
Through expert-led sessions, practical workshops, case studies, simulations, and peer learning opportunities, participants will gain practical skills and actionable insights that can be immediately applied within their organizations. The Master Class will also provide an excellent platform for networking, benchmarking, and sharing experiences with fellow professionals from diverse sectors.
The following five modules cover the key fundamental learning areas;

INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA

Audit Staff Training-A practical Approach (Mandatory Training)
Theme: Future-Ready Auditors: Enhancing Quality, Innovation and Trust.
Date: 30th September -1st October 2026
Time: 9.00-15.30
Venue: virtual
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
The audit profession is undergoing unprecedented transformation driven by technological advancements, evolving stakeholder expectations, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and the growing complexity of business transactions. Auditors are expected not only to provide assurance on financial information but also to navigate emerging risks, leverage technology effectively and uphold the highest standards of professional judgment and ethical conduct.
Globally, audit regulators and standard setters continue to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening audit quality and restoring public confidence in the profession. Recent developments such as the International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2), revisions to risk assessment and auditing standards, increased focus on sustainability reporting and assurance, and the adoption of advanced data analytics tools are reshaping audit methodologies and engagement practices.
In Kenya, auditors operate within an increasingly complex environment characterized by heightened regulatory expectations, digital transformation, evolving reporting requirements, and growing concerns over fraud, cybersecurity threats, and financial reporting quality. Recent corporate failures and governance challenges have further reinforced the need for robust audit processes, enhanced professional skepticism, and continuous capacity building among audit professionals.
As organizations embrace digital technologies and face new business risks, audit staff must develop competencies that extend beyond traditional audit approaches. Skills in data analytics, risk assessment, fraud detection, audit quality management, and sustainability assurance are becoming essential for delivering high-quality audits that meet stakeholder expectations.
The Audit Staff Training Programme seeks to equip audit professionals with practical knowledge and emerging skills necessary to enhance audit quality, strengthen professional judgment, improve risk identification, and effectively respond to the evolving demands of the profession. The programme will provide participants with insights into current auditing standards, technological innovations, fraud risk management, and sustainability-related assurance considerations.

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

ABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST
The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters, publication of books, periodicals, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting, auditing and ethical standards. The Institute is established by an Act of parliament – The Accountants Act and has been in existence since 1978. Over its long history it has registered over 40,000 members. Its members work in diverse sectors of the economy as accountants, financial experts, auditors, financial consultants among other careers within the larger definition of accountancy. Over 1200 of our members have emigrated and are working beyond the borders of Kenya. Members of the Institute are present in 44 different countries around the globe.
ANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY
Each year for the last 42 years, ICPAK has maintained a rich tradition of congregating once a year to reflect on the profession and emerging issues affecting the nation. The last seminar followed the same pattern as it sought to reinforce the role of professional accountants in sustainability reporting and climate change. Both editions of the 42nd Annual Seminar attracted an average of 3,900 participants on both physical and virtual attendance, largely drawn from Kenya but with representation from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique and South Africa. The current event is targeted to attract a wider representation of East Africa and the continent at large.
Due to limited seats the Institute has held two Annual Seminars since 2021 to enable participation by most members. This year, the Institute shall also hold two Annual Seminars dubbed Edition 1 and Edition 2 to accommodate all the professionals. The first edition shall be held from 18th -22nd May 2026 while the second one for this year shall be held on 9th – 13th November 2026.
This year’s events mark 42 years since the time when the Institute held its first Annual Seminar in 1984. This demonstrates resilience, unity and focus of the Accountancy profession. Throughout these decades, the Annual Seminar has acted as a beacon of hope for the profession.
The Institute shall hold the Seminar in two physical venues i.e Sarova White sands and Pride Inn Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya with an option of live streaming and allocation of speakers and panelists across both venues. The delegates’ allocation to both venues shall be done based on date of payment, with the first venue being allocated the early paying delegates. The seminar shall also be streamed on the virtual platform where some delegates and speakers shall be participating.

Each year for the last 42 years, ICPAK has maintained a rich tradition of congregating once a year to reflect on the profession and emerging issues affecting the nation. The last seminar followed the same pattern as it sought to reinforce the role of professional accountants in sustainability reporting and climate change. Both editions of the 42nd Annual Seminar attracted an average of 3,900 participants on both physical and virtual attendance, largely drawn from Kenya but with representation from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique and South Africa. The current event is targeted to attract a wider representation of East Africa and the continent at large.
Due to limited seats the Institute has held two Annual Seminars since 2021 to enable participation by most members. This year, the Institute shall also hold two Annual Seminars dubbed Edition 1 and Edition 2 to accommodate all the professionals. The first edition shall be held from 25th -29th May 2026 while the second one for this year shall be held on 9th – 13th November 2026.
This year’s events mark 42 years since the time when the Institute held its first Annual Seminar in 1984. This demonstrates resilience, unity and focus of the Accountancy profession. Throughout these decades, the Annual Seminar has acted as a beacon of hope for the profession.
The Institute shall hold the Seminar in two physical venues i.e Sarova White sands and Pride Inn Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya with an option of live streaming and allocation of speakers and panelists across both venues. The delegates’ allocation to both venues shall be done based on date of payment, with the first venue being allocated the early paying delegates. The seminar shall also be streamed on the virtual platform where some delegates and speakers shall be participating.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession
