SUMMARY:Audit Documentation- ISA 230 Practical Course (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Documentation- ISA 230 Practical Course\nDate: 18th–19th June 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\nTheme: Purpose and Principles of Audit Documentation \nOverview \nAudit documentation is a foundational element of high-quality audits. International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 230\, Audit Documentation\, sets out the auditor’s responsibility to prepare audit documentation that provides a sufficient and appropriate record of the basis for the auditor’s report and evidence that the audit was conducted in accordance with ISAs and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. \nHowever\, many audit practitioners particularly early-career auditors and professionals transitioning into audit roles face challenges in applying ISA 230 practically. Common issues include inadequate working papers\, unclear linkages between audit procedures and conclusions\, insufficient evidence\, poor referencing\, and inconsistent use of audit software. As regulatory scrutiny increases globally\, audit firms and institutions must invest in strengthening audit documentation skills to ensure audit quality\, compliance\, and defensibility. \nThis two-day practical course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by equipping participants with hands-on experience in preparing high-quality audit documentation aligned with ISA 230. \nThe following topics will be covered: \n1. Foundations and Core Documentation Requirements\n\nIntroduction to ISA 230: Purpose\, scope\, and key requirements\nPrinciples of effective documentation\nWhat constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit documentation\nStructure and components of a complete audit file\nDocumenting planning and risk assessment\nPractical Exercise: Preparing planning working papers\n\n2. Practical Tools\, Case Studies\, and Review Techniques\n\nDocumenting audit procedures\, evidence\, and conclusions\nRecording professional judgment and significant matters\nCommon deficiencies identified by regulators and how to avoid them\nUse of audit software/tools and standard templates\nPractical Exercise: End-to-end documentation of a sample audit area\nReview and wrap-up: How to build a strong documentation culture\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:  \n\nSupervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\nAudit associates and seniors\n\n\nMid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\n\n\nIndividuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing\nTax Practitioners and Tax Experts\nFinancial Controllers and Credit Managers\n\n\nAccounting and finance professionals involved in assurance\nRisk and compliance officers\n\nYour Financial Investment  \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD Unit  \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully attending all 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.   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. \n NITA Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE 7TH ANNUAL BOARD TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 7TH ANNUAL BOARD TRAINING\nTheme: Effective Modern-Day Governance for Solid Foundations\nDATE: 6TH JULY– 10TH JULY 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM\nENASHIPAI RESORT\, NAIVASHA \nOVERVIEW \nBoards are the central force behind organizational stability and strategic success\, charged with guiding vision\, safeguarding integrity and ensuring long-term growth. In today’s rapidly changing environment\, where technology\, regulation\, and stakeholder expectations converge\, boards must operate with insight\, resilience\, and foresight. Their ability to anticipate challenges\, make informed decisions and cultivate trust directly influences organizational performance and credibility\, positioning the board as a decisive force for enduring excellence. \nEffectiveness in modern governance requires boards to balance strategic thinking with operational intelligence. Understanding the financial and operational health of an organization\, integrating long-term risk considerations and ensuring accountability allows boards to navigate complexity with clarity. Inclusive dialogue\, ethical leadership and constructive debate strengthen cohesion\, enabling boards to make decisions that reflect both organizational priorities and stakeholder expectations while fostering a culture of integrity and transparency. \nBoards are also architects of future resilience. By embracing diversity of thought\, preparing for leadership continuity\, and adopting emerging technologies responsibly\, boards can guide organizations through uncertainty while maintaining adaptability and innovation. Their oversight ensures that strategic objectives\, sustainability considerations\, and societal responsibilities are integrated into the organization’s operations\, fostering an environment where growth\, accountability\, and long-term value coexist. \nHigh-performing boards understand that governance extends beyond oversight; it is a catalyst for shaping organizational trajectory. By combining foresight\, risk intelligence\, ethical stewardship\, and adaptive leadership\, boards provide stability and vision in times of disruption. In an era defined by digital transformation\, evolving regulations\, and heightened expectations\, boards that embrace these principles position their organizations to thrive\, remain resilient\, and achieve sustainable success. It is in this consideration that ICPAK has planned a 5-day board training with specific emphasis on the following areas: \n\nBoard Roles and Fiduciary Duties in a Digital World – Modern responsibilities and legal obligations of directors.\nEmerging Legal and Regulatory Trends for Boards – Staying ahead of compliance\, liability\, and sector-specific updates.\nEthical Leadership and Accountability at the Board Level – Strengthening transparency and integrity in decision-making.\nBoard Dynamics and Collaborative Decision-Making – Enhancing teamwork\, conflict resolution\, and effective meetings.\nAdvanced Financial Literacy for Strategic Oversight – Understanding statements\, ratios\, and budgeting for informed governance.\nStrategic Planning and Organizational Guidance – Shaping\, monitoring\, and evaluating long-term organizational strategies.\nBuilding a Risk-Intelligent Board – Identifying\, assessing\, and mitigating financial\, operational\, and cyber risks.\nPerformance Monitoring and Accountability Metrics – Tools to measure board and management effectiveness.\nEmbedding ESG into Board Oversight – Integrating sustainability and social responsibility into strategy and operations.\nAI\, Technology\, and Digital Governance – Leveraging tech responsibly while managing emerging risks.\nSuccession Planning and Leadership Continuity – Preparing for seamless transitions at board and executive levels.\nDiversity\, Inclusion\, and High-Impact Boards – Strengthening decision-making through varied perspectives and skills.\nBook Review: Boards That Lead: When to Take Charge\, When to Partner\, and When to Stay Out of the Way by Ram Charan\, Dennis Carey\, and Michael Useem – Practical insights on balancing oversight\, strategy\, and collaboration.\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe training will be beneficial to Board Members\, Board Chairpersons\, Board Committee Members and Committee Chairpersons\, Board Secretaries\, CEOs\, Senior Management\, Aspiring Board Members\, Business Owners\, and Entrepreneurs\, \n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the training. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nThe Board training charges are Kshs. 90\,000.

SUMMARY:ICPAK Town Hall Deliberation -Post Finance Bill (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nICPAK Town Hall Deliberation -Post Finance Bill\nTheme: From Budget to Service Delivery: Strengthening Fiscal Accountability and Public Value\nDat: 8th July 2026\nTime: 1600hrs – 1800hrs\nVenue: Online /Zoom \nBackground \nThe annual budget process is central to determining how public resources are raised\, allocated and used to meet national development priorities. The Finance Bill\, 2026 was presented as part of the ordinary fiscal and budgetary cycle and proposed amendments to various tax laws\, including income tax\, value added tax\, excise duty\, tax procedures\, miscellaneous fees and levies\, stamp duty and the road maintenance levy framework. Following public participation\, parliamentary scrutiny and approval\, the Bill became the Finance Act\, 2026\, providing the legal framework for implementing revenue measures intended to strengthen collection\, improve compliance\, close loopholes and support Kenya’s 2026/27 budget priorities. \nAlthough the Finance Act primarily focuses on revenue measures\, its significance lies in how the resources mobilized are translated into public value. For citizens\, businesses and policy practitioners\, the critical question is whether budget allocations are implemented efficiently\, transparently and equitably to improve public services\, strengthen livelihoods and support inclusive economic growth. \nThe ICPAK Townhall Deliberation will therefore bring together members of the public\, institutional stakeholders and policy practitioners to review the Finance Act\, 2026\, examine the link between revenue mobilization and budget implementation\, and discuss how fiscal decisions can translate into measurable service delivery outcomes. \n\n Purpose of the Town Hall\n\nThe purpose of the town hall is to provide an open\, informed and participatory platform for stakeholders to deliberate on the Finance Act\, 2026 and the implementation of the national budget. The session will connect policy design with practical service delivery concerns by examining how fiscal measures affect citizens\, businesses\, institutions and public programmes. \n\n Objectives\n\n\nTo provide stakeholders with a clear overview of the Finance Act\, 2026 and its implications for budget implementation.\nTo discuss the relationship between domestic revenue mobilisation\, public expenditure and service delivery outcomes.\nTo identify priority implementation issues affecting citizens\, businesses and policy practitioners.\nTo promote dialogue on accountability\, transparency and public participation in the budget cycle.\nTo generate practical recommendations for strengthening the link between budget allocations\, implementation and service delivery.\n\n\n Key Discussion Areas\n\n\nFinance Bill to Finance Act: Overview of the legislative process\, public participation\, parliamentary approval and Presidential assent.\nRevenue mobilization and tax administration: Key amendments introduced by the Finance Act\, including compliance measures\, digital tax administration\, broadening of the tax base and implications for taxpayers.\nBudget priorities and allocations: Review of how the 2026/27 budget aligns with national development priorities\, fiscal discipline and inclusive growth objectives.\nFrom allocation to implementation: Examination of how approved budgets are translated into programmes\, projects and services at national and local levels.\nService delivery outcomes: Discussion on whether budget implementation is improving access\, quality\, efficiency and equity in public services.\nAccountability and transparency: Mechanisms for monitoring expenditure\, tracking performance and strengthening citizen oversight.\nStakeholder concerns and recommendations: Reflections from policy practitioners\, civil society\, businesses and the public on practical reforms needed to improve fiscal governance.\n\n\n Target Participants\n\nThe town hall will target members of the public\, policy practitioners\, public finance management experts\, civil society organizations\, professional associations\, private sector representatives\, academia\, media\, youth and community representatives\, and officials involved in planning\, budgeting\, revenue administration\, implementation and oversight. \n\n Proposed Format\n\n\nOpening remarks and framing of the town hall theme.\nExpert presentation on the Finance Act\, 2026 and key budget implementation issues.\nPanel discussion with policy practitioners\, public finance experts and stakeholder representatives.\nModerated plenary session for questions\, comments and proposals from participants.\nSynthesis of key messages\, recommendations and agreed follow-up actions.\n\n\n Expected Outcomes\n\n\nImproved stakeholder understanding of the Finance Act\, 2026 and its implications for the 2026/27 budget.\nClearer appreciation of the connection between revenue measures\, budget execution and service delivery.\nDocumented stakeholder views on priority fiscal\, implementation and service delivery concerns.\nPractical recommendations to strengthen transparency\, accountability and responsiveness in budget implementation.\nEnhanced public participation and dialogue between citizens\, policy practitioners and institutions responsible for fiscal governance.\n\n\n Conclusion\n\nThe transition from budget formulation to service delivery requires more than legal and fiscal approval. It depends on effective implementation\, accountable institutions\, informed citizens and continuous stakeholder engagement. The proposed town hall will provide a timely platform to review the Finance Act\, 2026\, assess budget implementation priorities and generate practical proposals for ensuring that public resources deliver tangible and measurable benefits to citizens.

SUMMARY:THE IFRS MASTER CLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IFRS MASTER CLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training) \nTheme: Navigating the Complexities of Internal Financial Reporting Standards \nDate: 13th -17th July 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Radisson Blu Hotel\, Upper Hill Nairobi \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nThe global financial reporting landscape is undergoing significant transformation driven by heightened expectations for transparency\, comparability\, and the integration of sustainability information into mainstream reporting. In response\, the IFRS Masterclass is designed as an intensive programme aimed at strengthening technical competence in both financial and sustainability reporting frameworks\, while enhancing professional judgement in complex reporting environments. \nThe programme provides a comprehensive coverage of key International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)\, emerging sustainability disclosure requirements\, and specialised reporting frameworks. It equips participants with practical skills to interpret\, apply\, and critically evaluate financial reporting standards in a manner that supports high-quality\, decision-useful financial information. \nCore financial reporting areas include IFRS 18 on Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\, IFRS 7 on Financial Instruments Disclosures\, IAS 24 on Related Party Disclosures\, and IAS 29 on Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. These topics strengthen participants’ ability to enhance disclosure quality\, improve transparency in financial instruments\, and address the impact of economic volatility on financial reporting. \nThe Masterclass also delves into IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards\, with a focus on IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. Participants will explore the selection and reporting of sustainability metrics and targets\, scenario analysis\, greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting\, and the integration of climate-related risks into strategic and financial decision-making. This ensures alignment with global and local ESG reporting expectations and emerging investor demands. \nSpecialised technical areas are also covered\, including IFRS 16 on Leases\, with emphasis on recognition\, measurement\, and disclosure of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. In addition\, participants are introduced to the International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)\, including their structure\, applicability\, and relationship with IFRS and IPSAS frameworks\, particularly within the non-profit reporting environment. \nFurther technical depth is provided through IFRS 5 on Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations\, IFRS 17 on Insurance Contracts\, and IAS 26 on Accounting and Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans. These standards address advanced issues relating to classification\, measurement\, actuarial assumptions\, and disclosure requirements in specialised reporting contexts. \nThe programme concludes with applied insights drawn from financial reporting review outcomes\, highlighting common compliance gaps and emerging trends in practice. This is complemented by a practical session on investing in the stock exchange. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial

SUMMARY:INSURANCE AND BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINSURANCE & BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE\nTheme: Driving Financial Resilience\, Market Adaptation and Reporting Excellence in Kenya’s Financial Services Sector\nDate: 15th -17 July 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Enashipai Resort & Spa\, Naivasha \nOVERVIEW \nThe banking and insurance sectors remain key pillars of Kenya’s economic growth and financial stability. However\, the operating environment continues to evolve rapidly due to changing regulatory requirements\, economic uncertainties\, technological disruption\, increasing customer expectations\, and emerging risks. Financial institutions are therefore required to strengthen their financial reporting frameworks\, enhance risk management practices\, maintain adequate capital levels\, and leverage innovation to remain competitive and resilient. \nThe implementation of major reporting standards such as IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments continues to reshape financial reporting across the sector. While significant progress has been made\, institutions continue to face challenges relating to data quality\, systems integration\, actuarial modelling\, expected credit loss calculations\, and evolving regulatory expectations. At the same time\, boards and management are under increasing pressure to improve governance structures\, strengthen internal controls\, and provide transparent and decision-useful information to stakeholders. \nTechnological innovation is also transforming the financial services landscape. The growth of digital banking\, mobile financial services\, fintech and Insurtech solutions\, artificial intelligence\, and advanced data analytics is creating new opportunities for operational efficiency\, customer engagement\, and financial inclusion. However\, these developments also introduce emerging risks relating to cybersecurity\, data governance\, operational resilience\, and regulatory compliance. \nFurther\, the sector continues to play a critical role in advancing financial inclusion and supporting economic development. Despite the significant progress achieved in expanding access to financial services\, institutions must continue developing innovative products and delivery channels that meet the needs of underserved populations while maintaining sound risk management practices. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Institute has organized the Insurance & Banking Sector Conference 2026 to provide a platform for regulators\, practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, actuaries\, risk professionals\, policy makers\, and industry leaders to discuss emerging developments\, share practical experiences\, and explore strategies for enhancing financial reporting\, institutional resilience\, governance\, innovation\, and sustainable growth within the financial services sector. \n The conference will explore the following thematic areas: \n1.

SUMMARY:INSURANCE AND BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINSURANCE & BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE\nTheme: Driving Financial Resilience\, Market Adaptation and Reporting Excellence in Kenya’s Financial Services Sector\nDate: 15th -17 July 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe banking and insurance sectors remain key pillars of Kenya’s economic growth and financial stability. However\, the operating environment continues to evolve rapidly due to changing regulatory requirements\, economic uncertainties\, technological disruption\, increasing customer expectations\, and emerging risks. Financial institutions are therefore required to strengthen their financial reporting frameworks\, enhance risk management practices\, maintain adequate capital levels\, and leverage innovation to remain competitive and resilient. \nThe implementation of major reporting standards such as IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments continues to reshape financial reporting across the sector. While significant progress has been made\, institutions continue to face challenges relating to data quality\, systems integration\, actuarial modelling\, expected credit loss calculations\, and evolving regulatory expectations. At the same time\, boards and management are under increasing pressure to improve governance structures\, strengthen internal controls\, and provide transparent and decision-useful information to stakeholders. \nTechnological innovation is also transforming the financial services landscape. The growth of digital banking\, mobile financial services\, fintech and Insurtech solutions\, artificial intelligence\, and advanced data analytics is creating new opportunities for operational efficiency\, customer engagement\, and financial inclusion. However\, these developments also introduce emerging risks relating to cybersecurity\, data governance\, operational resilience\, and regulatory compliance. \nFurther\, the sector continues to play a critical role in advancing financial inclusion and supporting economic development. Despite the significant progress achieved in expanding access to financial services\, institutions must continue developing innovative products and delivery channels that meet the needs of underserved populations while maintaining sound risk management practices. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Institute has organized the Insurance & Banking Sector Conference 2026 to provide a platform for regulators\, practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, actuaries\, risk professionals\, policy makers\, and industry leaders to discuss emerging developments\, share practical experiences\, and explore strategies for enhancing financial reporting\, institutional resilience\, governance\, innovation\, and sustainable growth within the financial services sector. \n The conference will explore the following thematic areas: \n\nEconomic Outlook\, Regulatory Developments and Sector Resilience\n\n\nEmerging economic and regulatory developments affecting banks and insurers\nPrudential supervision and compliance expectations\nBuilding resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment\n\n\n IFRS 17: Implementation Progress and Emerging Challenges\n\n\nLessons learned from implementation\nContractual Service Margin (CSM)\, actuarial and systems considerations\nFinancial reporting implications and regulatory expectations\n\n\n IFRS 9 and Credit Risk Management\n\n\nExpected Credit Loss (ECL) modelling and impairment challenges\nCredit risk management in a changing economic environment\nEmerging implementation and regulatory developments\n\n\nCapital Adequacy\, Solvency and Reinsurance Strategies\n\n\nCapital adequacy and solvency requirements\nStress testing and capital optimization\nStrategic use of reinsurance for risk mitigation and financial resilience\n\n\nAdvancements in Actuarial Valuation and Risk Modelling\n\n\nEmerging actuarial techniques and innovations\nPredictive modelling and insurance risk assessment\nPractical insights from industry\n\n\nDigital Transformation\, Fintech and Artificial Intelligence\n\n\nAI applications in banking and insurance\nFintech and Insurtech innovations\nData analytics and automation in financial reporting and decision-making\n\n\nCybersecurity\, Data Governance and Operational Resilience\n\n\nEmerging cyber risks and threat management\nData governance and protection requirements\nStrengthening operational resilience and business continuity\n\n\nAnti-Money Laundering Considerations for Banking & Insurance Sectors\n\n\nAnti-Money Laundering and Automatic Exchange of Financial Information updates\nAML Regulatory framework updates\nKenya’s Grey-Listing -Causes and your role in supporting getting Kenya out of Grey Listing\nAML Compliance Challenges-Politically Exposed Persons\, Beneficial Ownership\, Due Diligence\nForeign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) obligations\nCommon Reporting Standards (CRS) Obligation\n\n 9.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop\nTheme: The Future of Sustainability Assurance – Enhancing Transparency\, Accountability\, and Trust\nDate: 16th-17th July 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: On line \nOverview \nAs global expectations for transparency and accountability continue to rise\, organizations are increasingly required to demonstrate credible performance on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) matters. Sustainability assurance has therefore become essential in strengthening stakeholder confidence by enhancing the reliability and quality of sustainability-related disclosures. With the rapid adoption of sustainability reporting frameworks and the alignment of financial and non-financial information\, professionals must deepen their understanding of the evolving assurance landscape. \nThe shift toward standardized sustainability reporting\, especially with the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, alongside established frameworks such as GRI\, SASB and local regulatory requirements\, has created a need for consistent application and interpretation. These frameworks provide the structure for identifying material ESG issues\, defining reporting boundaries and ensuring comparability across organizations and industries. \nClimate-related disclosures have emerged as integral to sustainability reporting. Accordingly\, understanding Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions become increasingly important as an entity measures and reports on its environmental impact. Accurate measurement and disclosure of emissions are increasingly linked to both financial reporting and enterprise risk management-factors that make this an area of significant focus during sustainability assurance engagements. \nHigh-quality ESG assurance requires quality internal controls\, reliable data systems\, and robust verification procedures. Practitioners should keep in mind the special challenges that arise when assessing ESG risks\, testing control environments\, and gathering evidence during limited or reasonable assurance engagements\, which are different from those encountered in traditional financial audits. The effective collection of data\, proper structuring of documentation\, and rigorous processes for verification are very important for credible sustainability reporting to the expectations of regulators and investors and wider stakeholders. \nThe workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following: \nOverview of Sustainability Assurance \n\nThe purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.\nThe role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.\nHow sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.\nKey drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance\n\n Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks \n\nGlobal frameworks: GRI\, SASB\, ISSB\, IFRS S1 & S2.\nLocal sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.\nAlignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.\nEmerging disclosure requirements for climate\, social\, and governance metrics.\n\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting \n\nUnderstanding Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions.\nRelevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.\nGHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).\nTransition risks\, climate scenarios\, and their impact on disclosures.\n\nSustainability Assurance Engagements \n\nUnpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000\nTypes of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.\nKey procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.\nIndependence\, ethical requirements\, and assurance provider qualifications.\nCommon challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.\n\nData Collection\, Verification\, and Reporting \n\nBest practices for ESG data collection and quality control.\nVerification techniques and third-party assurance.\nData governance\, documentation\, and internal record-keeping standards.\nUse of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.\n\nESG Risk Management and Internal Controls \n\nIntegrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.\nEnsuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.\nDesigning internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.\nMonitoring\, evaluation\, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThe workshop will be beneficial to all accounting and finance professionals\, auditors\, financial analysts\, and corporate management\, particularly those involved in financial reporting\, sustainability reporting\, and regulatory compliance within organizations. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop 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.  Delegates 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. \nNB: This is a hybrid event for physical option click here  \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE \nDate: 22nd – 24th July 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe retirement benefits industry in Kenya is operating within an increasingly complex and demanding environment. Structural demographic changes\, including increasing longevity and a growing retired population\, are exerting pressure on scheme funding and benefit sustainability. At the same time\, market volatility\, inflation uncertainty and evolving investment landscapes are challenging traditional asset allocation strategies. Trustees and scheme management are required to balance long-term liabilities with short-term liquidity needs while maintaining prudence\, transparency and regulatory compliance. \nIn parallel\, the regulatory and professional expectations placed on pension schemes continue to expand. Actuarial valuations are subject to heightened scrutiny\, funding shortfalls demand credible recovery plans\, and financial reporting must faithfully reflect scheme solvency\, investment performance and member entitlements. Emerging risks\, particularly climate change\, ESG stewardship obligations\, cyber threats and data integrity issues are no longer peripheral considerations but central components of fiduciary duty. \nAgainst this backdrop\, ICPAK has developed this inaugural three-day training designed to move beyond theory and address the most difficult\, practical challenges facing retirement benefit schemes. The programme is structured to equip trustees\, finance teams and service providers with actionable tools to strengthen governance\, improve funding decisions\, align investments with liabilities\, and respond effectively to emerging risks that threaten long-term member outcomes. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nThe Role of Accounting in Pension Governance and Fiduciary Oversight \n \n·         Position of the accountant within the retirement benefits ecosystem \n·         How financial information supports trustee decision-making and accountability \n·         Link between accounting\, fiduciary duty and member protection \n·         Regulatory expectations on financial stewardship of pension assets \n·         Common financial reporting weaknesses observed in pension schemes \n \n\n\nAccounting for Pension Liabilities and Actuarial Valuations \n \n·         Relationship between actuarial valuation reports and financial statements \n·         Accounting implications of actuarial assumptions (discount rates\, inflation\, mortality) \n·         Treatment of surpluses and deficits in pension scheme accounts \n·         Sensitivity analysis and disclosure of key actuarial judgments \n·         Impact of funding position on going concern and financial sustainability assessments \n \n\n\nPreparation and Disclosure of Pension Scheme Financial Statements\n·         Application of IAS 26 and relevant IFRS requirements to pension schemes \n·         Accounting for contributions\, benefits payable and benefit payments \n·         Investment income recognition and expense classification \n·         Fair value measurement and disclosure requirements \n·         Related party transactions\, contingencies and subsequent events \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nInvestment Accounting\, Valuation and Performance Reporting\n·         Accounting treatment of listed and unlisted investments \n·         Fair value hierarchy and valuation techniques for pension assets \n·         Property\, private equity and alternative investment accounting \n·         Impairment considerations and income recognition \n·         Reporting investment performance in financial statements and trustee reports \n \n\n\nUnderstanding 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\, trustees\, and auditors \n \n\n\nGeneral Requirements \n \n·         Sources of Guidance \n·         Location of Disclosures \n·         Timing of reporting \n·         Comparative information \n·         Statement of Compliance \n·         Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \n·         Best practices in data collection \n·         Building capacity within the organization \n·         Transition Reliefs\n\n\nDAY 3\nIdentifying 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\n\nSelecting 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\nGHG 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\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course will be useful to professional accountants and those aspiring the profession. \nFINANCIAL INVESTMENT  \nThe conference  charges are Ksh 10\,000 per delegate for both members and non-members. \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:SACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme:\nDate: 22nd -24th July 2026 \nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: Sarova Imperial -Kisumu \nOVERVIEW: \nThe Savings and Credit Cooperative (SACCO) sector continues to play a pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion\, mobilizing savings and providing affordable access to credit for a significant proportion of the Kenyan population. This contribution is particularly evident in rural communities\, where SACCOs have substantially improved access to essential financial services for individuals who would otherwise remain underserved by conventional banking institutions. By offering accessible savings and credit facilities\, SACCOs have empowered ordinary citizens\, fostered economic participation and promoted socio-economic development at the grassroots level. \nHowever\, the SACCO sector has historically faced several challenges\, including weak governance structures\, inadequate capitalization\, non-compliance with financial reporting standards and emerging sustainability requirements. These challenges have constrained the sector’s ability to fully realize its potential as a catalyst for the socio-economic empowerment of its members. The recent events involving the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Cooperatives (KUSCCO) serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of governance failures within the sector. The scandal\, which resulted in substantial financial losses for participating SACCOs and their members\, significantly eroded stakeholder confidence and underscored the far-reaching implications of poor governance on the stability of the financial sector and the broader economy. \nThese developments underscore the urgent need to strengthen governance frameworks\, enhance oversight mechanisms\, and foster a renewed commitment to accountability\, transparency and prudent financial management within SACCO institutions. In response to the governance and operational weaknesses exposed by these failures\, the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) have intensified regulatory requirements and supervisory oversight aimed at safeguarding members’ deposits\, promoting sound corporate governance practices and enhancing the financial resilience and stability of SACCOs. These measures are intended not only to restore public confidence in the sector but also to ensure that SACCOs operate in a safe\, sustainable and member-centric manner. \nOn a positive note\, the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Award 2025 provided valuable insights and learning opportunities for the SACCO sector. Several SACCOs distinguished themselves by demonstrating exemplary practices in financial reporting\, corporate governance and sustainability. These institutions exhibited strong adherence to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) while integrating Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) principles into their strategic and operational frameworks\, thereby enhancing transparency\, accountability\, and stakeholder confidence. \nImportantly\, the FiRe Award also brought to the fore critical issues affecting the sector’s compliance landscape and operational effectiveness. Among the key challenges identified were weaknesses in governance structures\, inadequate capitalization\, technological deficiencies and increasing incidences of fraud.

SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence\nTheme- Strengthening Emotional Intelligence for Impactful Leadership and Professional Excellence\nDate: 29th July 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue- CPA Centre \nOverview \nEmotional Intelligence (EI) has become an essential capability in today’s professional world\, influencing how individuals understand their emotions\, build meaningful relationships\, and make grounded decisions. Unlike IQ\, which measures cognitive ability\, EI combines thinking and feeling to support self-awareness\, emotional regulation\, and authentic decision-making. It enables individuals to manage their reactions\, meet emotional needs\, and navigate situations with clarity and intention. Because EI predicts effectiveness and can be developed over time\, it offers a unique pathway to personal fulfillment and professional success. \nIn modern workplaces\, EI is increasingly recognized as a strategic competency that enhances communication\, strengthens trust\, and enables professionals to respond ethically under pressure. For accountants\, auditors\, finance practitioners\, and business leaders\, EI plays a pivotal role in managing stakeholder expectations\, upholding integrity\, and maintaining composure in high-stakes environments. By identifying emotional triggers and managing emotional hijacking\, professionals cultivate the resilience and sound judgment required in complex and demanding roles. \nA strong grounding in Emotional Intelligence supports self-awareness\, emotional regulation\, empathy\, and social competence skills that enable individuals to manage conflict effectively\, give constructive feedback\, and lead with authenticity. In fields where technical expertise is expected\, EI becomes a key differentiator that enhances ethical behavior\, client care\, decision-making\, and leadership effectiveness. Professionals with high EI are better equipped to adapt to change\, handle stress\, and respond calmly in workplaces characterized by tight deadlines and regulatory scrutiny. \nBeyond the individual level\, EI has become central to building healthy organizational cultures. Teams with strong emotional intelligence demonstrate greater collaboration\, accountability\, innovation\, and psychological safety. Leaders who apply EI foster inclusive environments where people feel respected\, motivated\, and empowered to perform at their best. As organizations confront growing complexity\, diversity\, and evolving work dynamics\, EI has emerged as a critical driver of trust\, agility\, and long-term performance. \nIt is in recognition of this growing importance that ICPAK has organized the Evening Networking Forum. The session provides professionals with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Emotional Intelligence through guided discussions\, real-life scenarios\, and practical exercises. Participants will explore their emotional strengths\, practice empathy-centered communication\, and learn how EI influences leadership\, teamwork\, and conflict management. By blending learning with live networking\, the forum equips attendees to apply EI concepts immediately while strengthening their professional connections and personal growth journeys. \nThe forum is designed to cover the following topics: \nIntroduction to Emotional Intelligence \n\nDefinition\, principles\, and components of Emotional Intelligence\nUnderstanding emotions and responses\nWhy EI matters in modern professional practice\nDifference between EQ and IQ\n\n\nHow emotional intelligence differs from other intelligences\n\n\npractical: Analyze personal emotional triggers\n\nAssessing and Developing Emotional Intelligence \n\nConducting an emotional intelligence test\nBuilding self-awareness and self-motivation\nPracticing self-regulation techniques\nUsing journaling for self-reflection\nCreate an EI development plan\n\nThe EI Mirror: Guided Self-Reflection and Practical Application \n\nStructured emotional self-assessment aligned to workplace dynamics\nIdentifying emotional triggers\, communication styles\, and behavioural blind spots\nPeer-based reflection exercise focusing on empathy and active listening\nGroup debrief synthesizing personal insights and improvement strategies\n\nSocial Competencies and Empathy \n\nDeveloping empathy in workplace interactions\nEnhancing relationship management skills\nBuilding social skills for collaboration\nUsing active listening techniques\n\nEmotional Intelligence and Professional Effectiveness \n\nRole of EI in leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and interpersonal influence\nEnhancing teamwork\, client engagement\, and stakeholder communication\nManaging stress\, feedback\, and conflict in high-pressure environments\n\nApplying Emotional Intelligence at Work \n\nPracticing assertive communication\nApplying work etiquette and professionalism\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Team leaders\, managers\, and supervisors\, Public sector\, private sector\, and NGO professionals\, Entrepreneurs and business owners \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 2\,000.

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

SUMMARY:ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION\nTheme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit\, tax and advisory engagements\nDate: 12th – 14th August 2026\nTime: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe accountancy profession has undergone significant developments and experienced a lot of evolution over the past few years.  In recent years\, the global accounting profession has undergone significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements\, evolving regulatory frameworks\, increasing stakeholder expectations\, and the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethics. The audit environment has particularly experienced tremendous developments arising from the effect of new emerging and stringent regulations and standards among other social and economic developments.  This has also happened to the other areas of the profession which has necessitated the change of approach and tact in delivering professional accountancy engagements\, to align with rapid developments in technology\, geopolitical risks and stringent regulations. \nIn this dynamic environment\, audit practitioners\, tax professionals\, management consultants\, and accounting practitioners must remain agile and well-informed to maintain professional competence and deliver value to clients and stakeholders. This makes it imperative for practitioners to continually update their knowledge and skills in key emerging areas such as sustainability reporting and assurance\, artificial intelligence (AI)\, blockchain technology\, and Anti-Money Laundering Policies. \nIn Kenya\, we have witnessed growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators\, boards\, and the investing public following reported major frauds affecting the public such as KUSCCO and OAG reports on county expenditure. Practitioners consequently must shift towards risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance\, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Furthermore\, practitioners are today expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities\, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. Practitioners are also faced with challenges revolving around compliance with regulations such as KRA\, SASRA\, RBA and AML. \nAs practitioners face expanding roles and increased public scrutiny\, soft skills such as communication\, leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and client management are no longer optional; they are critical enablers of success. This forum is therefore designed not only to advance technical mastery but also to empower audit professionals to lead with confidence\, integrity\, and agility in today’s complex assurance landscape. \nIt is against this background that the Institute has organized a three-day forum to discuss these critical developments which affect the practitioners in the different categories of practice\, and the accountancy profession at large and seek to address the rising concerns of work quality while ensuring that efficiency in undertaking engagements is maintained.  The Annual Practitioners Convention aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing\, professional development\, and networking among Practitioners. The convention will focus on equipping practitioners with the latest insights and practical tools to enhance their service delivery in an increasingly complex business environment. The following topics will guide the discussions in the Convention: \nTOPICS \n\nGlobal trends in utilization of technology within the accountancy practice\nFuture Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade\nState of the accountancy profession in Africa- Trends for accountants in practice within various jurisdictions\nShifting landscape for practicing accountants: Utilization of technology for competitive advantage– AI\, Blockchain\, Audit Software\nOverview of the Unique Document Identification Number (UDIN)- Milestones and Opportunities\nAnti-Money Laundering and the Expanding Role of Auditors:\n\n\nAML Compliance by practitioners.\nAML frameworks and audit procedures for detecting red flags.\nEvaluating compliance with reporting obligations under AML laws.\nAuditor’s responsibilities in relation to reporting suspicious transactions.\n\n\nImplementation of firm and engagement level quality considerations – an in-depth assessment of the ISQM 1 and 2 requirements; ISA 220\nAudit approach and evaluation of audit considerations in line with changing standards- A focus on ISA 315 and ISA 500\nOverview of the taxation landscape and changing laws and the implications to practitioners\nOverview of the developments within the standard setting environment – international financial reporting standards\nOverview of the revised IFRS for SMEs\nAdvantages and approaches of adopting ISA for Less Complex Entities for Small & Medium Practices (SMPs) in Kenya\nGearing up for Sustainability Assurance for Practitioners In Kenya- Key Requirements and Way Forward\nSetting up of a firm and submitting winning bids- Positioning practitioners for success through development of responsive proposals\nKey findings of the Audit Quality Reviews – Major concerns and practical responses to the issues.\nFirm records management best practice guidelines and effective compliance to standards on reporting\nMental health for accounting practitioners during busy seasons\nSuccession planning for SMPs\nOverview of services rendered under the four categories of licenses and the practitioner’s tool kit;\n\n\nOverview of tools and methodologies from IFAC & PAFA \nChallenges and Opportunities for Small and Medium Practices – SMPs\n\nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the Conference sessions. \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nPrivate and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Tax Experts\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Extractive and SMEs sector accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in County Governments and private sectors\, Academia\, employees of the NPO Sector. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \n\n     2.     Delegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements \nONLINE BOOKING: \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the seminar is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking .

SUMMARY:ICPAK 7TH RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2026 (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nICPAK 7TH RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme:  Advancing Sustainability and Innovation through Accountancy Research \nDate: 12th-14th August 2026 \nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium CPA Centre\, Nairobi \nOVERVIEW \nThe 7th ICPAK Research Conference\, themed “Advancing Sustainability and Innovation Through Accountancy Research\,”\, seeks to bring together practitioners\, academics\, policymakers\, regulators\, researchers\, and industry stakeholders to explore how accountancy research can advance sustainability and innovation. \nGlobally\, integrating sustainability into business strategy and financial decisions has become essential to achieving long-term growth. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals\, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change\, and Kenya’s development frameworks\, including Vision 2030 and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda\, emphasize the need to balance economic growth with ESG responsibility. \nDespite the existence of these frameworks\, empirical studies show that while there has been increased adoption of sustainability and ESG reporting\, their integration into financial management and reporting remains limited. Many institutions continue to approach sustainability and innovation as separate functions\, resulting in inconsistent application in business and public sector decision-making. \nAt the same time\, developments in artificial intelligence and financial technology are redefining how performance is measured and value is reported. However\, the accountancy profession faces the challenge of adapting to technological change while ensuring that ethical and sustainability-driven practices remain central to financial management. \nThe 7th Research Conference\, therefore\, seeks to address this gap by providing a platform for the sharing of research findings and emerging trends to strengthen sustainability and shape the future of the accountancy profession in Kenya and beyond. \n\nRATIONALE\n\nThe rationale for the conference is grounded in key global and national developments\, outlined as follows: \n\nInternational reporting standards such as IFRS S1 and S2 have highlighted the need for reliable and comparable disclosures. Accountancy research on these areas can strengthen sustainability and integrated reporting and improve investor and stakeholder confidence.\nEconomies are facing increasing risks from climate-related risks such as droughts and floods\, which pose a threat to economic growth and stability.

SUMMARY:ICPAK 7TH RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2026 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nICPAK 7TH RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme:  Advancing Sustainability and Innovation through Accountancy Research \nDate: 12th-14th August 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nINTRODUCTION \nThe 7th ICPAK Research Conference\, themed “Advancing Sustainability and Innovation Through Accountancy Research\,”\, seeks to bring together practitioners\, academics\, policymakers\, regulators\, researchers\, and industry stakeholders to explore how accountancy research can advance sustainability and innovation. \nGlobally\, integrating sustainability into business strategy and financial decisions has become essential to achieving long-term growth. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals\, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change\, and Kenya’s development frameworks\, including Vision 2030 and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda\, emphasize the need to balance economic growth with ESG responsibility. \nDespite the existence of these frameworks\, empirical studies show that while there has been increased adoption of sustainability and ESG reporting\, their integration into financial management and reporting remains limited. Many institutions continue to approach sustainability and innovation as separate functions\, resulting in inconsistent application in business and public sector decision-making. \nAt the same time\, developments in artificial intelligence and financial technology are redefining how performance is measured and value is reported. However\, the accountancy profession faces the challenge of adapting to technological change while ensuring that ethical and sustainability-driven practices remain central to financial management. \nThe 7th Research Conference\, therefore\, seeks to address this gap by providing a platform for the sharing of research findings and emerging trends to strengthen sustainability and shape the future of the accountancy profession in Kenya and beyond. \n\nRATIONALE\n\nThe rationale for the conference is grounded in key global and national developments\, outlined as follows: \n\nInternational reporting standards such as IFRS S1 and S2 have highlighted the need for reliable and comparable disclosures. Accountancy research on these areas can strengthen sustainability and integrated reporting and improve investor and stakeholder confidence.\nEconomies are facing increasing risks from climate-related risks such as droughts and floods\, which pose a threat to economic growth and stability. Accountancy research can illuminate best practices and develop frameworks for climate financial management.\nEmerging technologies such as AI\, blockchain\, big data analytics\, and fintech are transforming financial management\, auditing\, and reporting. Although these tools enhance efficiency\, they also raise important ethical governance and data protection concerns that require more research and policy alignment.\nKenya’s transition to accrual-based public sector accounting and ongoing reforms present opportunities to improve accountability and fiscal sustainability. Accountancy research can assess the impact of these reforms\, identify implementation gaps\, and propose strategies to enhance public sector governance.\n\n\nSUB-THEMES OF THE 7TH RESEARCH CONFERENCE\n\nThe conference will focus on five key thematic areas: \n\nAccounting and Financial Reporting\nTaxation and Public Finance Management\nInnovation and Digital Transformation\nRisk Analysis and Financial Management\nAccountability and Auditing\n\n\nSUBMISSIONS OF ABSTRACTS AND PAPERS\n\nThe Institute invites submission of abstracts and papers from researchers in the following accountancy-related thematic areas; \n\n\n\nS/N\nThematic Area \nSub-Topics  \n \n\n\n\n\n1.    \nAccounting and Financial Reporting \n \n\n\nIntegrated and ESG reporting frameworks (IFRS S1 & S2)\nMeasurement and disclosure of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) performance\nAccounting for carbon credits\, natural capital\, and environmental assets\nEnhancing credibility and assurance in non-financial reporting\nThe evolving role of accountants in organizational transformation\n\n\n\n\n2.    \nTaxation and Public Finance Management \n \n\n\nGreen taxation\nIntegrating ESG principles into budgeting and fiscal policy\nPublic sector accountability for achieving development goals\nFinancing climate adaptation\nEconomic implications of carbon pricing and non-financial disclosures\n\n\n\n\n3.    \nInnovation and Digital Transformation\n\n\nDigital platforms for integrated and ESG reporting\nLeveraging AI\, big data\, and blockchain for transparency\nFintech innovations\nData analytics in tracking resource efficiency and performance metrics\nCybersecurity and ethics in digital reporting systems\n\n\n\n\n4.    \nRisk Analysis and Financial Management\n\n\nGreen bonds\, impact investing\, and responsible financing instruments\nClimate-related and ESG risk assessment and disclosure\nIntegrating non-financial factors into capital allocation and decision-making\nManaging risks in evolving business models\nLong-term value creation and performance measurement frameworks\n\n\n\n\n5.    \nAccountability and Auditing \n \n\n\nAuditing of ESG reports\nThe auditor’s role in promoting transparency and ethical conduct\nCombating greenwashing through reporting and verification\nGovernance mechanisms supporting responsible business practices\nEmerging audit methodologies for environmental and social disclosures\n\n \n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT DATES\n\nResearchers interested in presenting papers should use the link provided and the attached Submission of Instructions Form on the dates specified below: \n\nExpression of interest: 27th February 2026\nDeadline for submission of abstracts: 15th May 2026\nNotification of acceptance of abstracts 6th June 2026\nDeadline for submission of full papers: 30th June 2026\nNotification of acceptance of paper: 14th July 2026\nPresentation of Papers at 7th Research Conference: 12th – 14th August 2026\n\n\nSUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS\n\n\nResearchers interested in presenting at the conference should submit an expression of interest on or before 20th March 2026 at xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\nSubmissions should be in English and should be sent electronically to research@icpak.com.

SUMMARY:INTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CONFERENCE (INPAS)-(physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CONFERENCE (INPAS) \nTheme: Excellence in Financial Reporting for the NPO Sector through Fortified Transparency & Accountability\nDate: 19th-21st August 2026 \nTime: 9:00 am to 03.30pm \nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino\, Thika Road \nOVERVIEW \nINPAS\, or the International Non-Profit Accounting Standard\, is the world’s first globally applicable accounting standard developed specifically for non-profit organizations (NPOs). Launched in October 2025 by the IFR4NPO Project (now under INPRF)\, it was created through a six-year collaborative effort led by Humentum and CIPFA\, involving stakeholders from dozens of countries. Unlike traditional standards designed for for-profit entities\, INPAS is a standalone\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique realities of charities\, NGOs\, foundations\, and other nonprofits. It streamlines the preparation of annual audited financial statements and grant reports\, addressing long-standing issues like fragmented reporting requirements and the complexities of restricted funding. \nOne of the primary objectives of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in nonprofit finances worldwide. It establishes a consistent foundation for financial reporting that improves the quality and comparability of NPO statements. By providing decision-useful information\, it balances the needs of preparers (reducing administrative burden) with those of donors\, regulators\, and other stakeholders who rely on clear\, reliable data for informed decision-making. This global consistency helps NPOs operating across borders avoid the inefficiency of complying with multiple\, often conflicting national or donor-specific rules. \nINPAS places strong emphasis on the proper recognition and presentation of grants and donations\, distinguishing clearly between restricted and unrestricted funds. It offers detailed guidance on accrual accounting practices suited to nonprofits\, such as when to recognize income from multi-year grants or in-kind contributions. Additionally\, it promotes integrated narrative reporting that goes beyond numbers to cover organizational activities\, governance\, risks\, impact\, and sustainability—reflecting that nonprofit success is measured by mission outcomes as much as financial metrics. \nThe standard was designed to reduce reporting burdens while raising the bar for quality. It includes harmonized grant reporting practices (supported by a dedicated Practice Guide) that allow project-level reports to reconcile easily with whole-of-entity financial statements. This helps minimize duplicative efforts when dealing with multiple funders\, freeing up resources for programmatic work rather than excessive compliance. Many organizations\, especially smaller ones\, stand to benefit from its simplified yet robust structure compared to adapting IFRS or other commercial standards. \nAdoption of INPAS is gaining momentum\, with early adoption encouraged. It is freely available for download from the official INPRF website\, along with implementation guides. As more NPOs and regulators embrace it\, the standard is expected to elevate sector credibility\, attract more funding by building donor confidence\, and foster greater international collaboration in the nonprofit space. \nOverall\, INPAS represents a transformative step for the nonprofit sector\, filling a critical gap that existed for decades. By providing a dedicated\, practical\, and internationally recognized framework\, it empowers organizations to focus more on their missions while maintaining high standards of financial stewardship and accountability. Its development “by the sector\, for the sector” ensures relevance and usability across diverse contexts\, from large international NGOs to local community groups. It is with this in mind that ICPAK has organized the 3 days conference to focus on the following areas: \n\nINPAS Framework & Core Principles\nThe New Regulatory Environment – Updates from PBORA\nFund Accounting & Revenue Recognition– Practical Sessions\nRestricted vs. Unrestricted Funds\nGrants and Donations\nPledges in – kind and Gifts\nExpense Classification & Financial Statements \nGrant Management & Narrative Reporting \nGovernance\, Ethics & Technology in the NPO Sector\nTax Risk Management for the NPO Sector – recent caselaw\, lessons and way forward\n\n  TARGET AUDIENCE \nThis conference  will be useful to all professional Accountants with specific focus on NGOs. \n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the conference. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\n\nCharges will cater stationery\, daytime meals\, learning and giveaway materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nONLINE BOOKING \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking \nWe call on interested participants to note that booking for the event is available online at www.icpak.com  and will close two hours before the training session. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

Governments and public sector entities are increasingly expected to demonstrate how public resources are managed to create sustainable public value\, strengthen fiscal resilience\, enhance service delivery\, and respond to emerging economic\, social\, and environmental challenges. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) continue to play a critical role in promoting transparency\, accountability\, and comparability in public sector financial reporting. At the same time\, new developments in sustainability reporting\, climate-related financial disclosures\, natural resource accounting\, government finance statistics\, public sector digital transformation\, and public financial management reforms are reshaping the reporting landscape globally. \nIn Kenya\, the implementation of IPSAS Accrual remains a strategic national priority under the Constitution\, the Public Finance Management Act\, and broader public sector reform initiatives. As public sector institutions seek to strengthen accountability and improve decision-making\, there is an increasing need for finance professionals to understand not only the technical requirements of IPSAS but also how financial reporting supports public value creation\, fiscal sustainability\, and stakeholder trust. \nRecognizing these developments\, this Masterclass aims to provide participants with deep technical and strategic insights into emerging IPSAS developments\, sustainability-related reporting\, public sector reforms\, and implementation challenges.
