SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING) physical option
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Enhancing Competence and Excellence in Financial Reporting\nDate: 20th -24th April 2026\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino Thika Road\, Nairobi\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe landscape of financial reporting is evolving at an unprecedented pace\, driven by global regulatory reforms\, rapid technological advancements\, and the growing expectations of stakeholders for transparency\, accuracy\, and timely information. Organizations rely on financial reporting not only to meet compliance requirements but also as a strategic tool that informs decision-making\, resource allocation\, and performance evaluation. In this context\, accountants and finance professionals play a pivotal role in ensuring that financial statements are both reliable and relevant\, reflecting the true financial position and performance of the organization. \nAccurate financial reporting is essential for maintaining trust with investors\, regulators\, lenders\, and other stakeholders. Errors\, omissions\, or misstatements in financial statements can have significant legal\, reputational\, and financial consequences. This makes continuous professional development in financial reporting critical\, particularly for practicing accountants who are required to uphold the highest standards of accuracy and accountability. The Financial Reporting Week offers a structured platform for participants to deepen their understanding of current standards\, explore practical application techniques\, and engage with real-life scenarios that challenge conventional approaches. \nModern financial reporting emphasizes the integration of analytical insights and strategic foresight. Professionals are expected to go beyond recording transactions\, to interpret financial data in ways that support operational and strategic decision-making. The program equips delegates with tools and methodologies that enhance analytical capabilities\, improve reporting accuracy\, and foster a culture of proactive problem-solving. By emphasizing both technical competence and strategic thinking\, participants will be better positioned to add tangible value to their organizations. \nTechnology is reshaping the way financial information is recorded\, processed\, and presented. Automation\, artificial intelligence\, cloud-based platforms\, and data analytics are increasingly integrated into financial reporting processes to enhance efficiency\, reduce errors\, and enable real-time reporting. The training introduces participants to these modern tools\, illustrating how technology can streamline reporting processes\, improve data quality\, and support timely decision-making. Delegates gain insights on adopting technology without compromising compliance or ethical standards\, preparing them for the evolving demands of the profession. \nFinally\, professional ethics\, governance\, and transparency remain at the core of effective financial reporting. Accountants are entrusted with safeguarding the integrity of financial information\, ensuring that reports reflect true and fair views of organizational performance. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Financial Reporting Week to equip participants with practical skills for preparing\, analyzing\, and presenting financial statements. The training provides a structured exploration of IFRS and IPSAS standards\, integrated and sustainability reporting\, emerging technology in reporting\, and governance and ethical considerations.

SUMMARY:THE INTERNAL AUDIT MASTERCLASS-MANDATORY TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INTERNAL AUDIT MASTERCLASS (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Driving Organizational Resilience\, Governance Excellence\, and Sustainable Value Through Advanced Internal Audit Practice\nDate: 20th – 24th April 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Eka Hotel\, Eldoret\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nInternal audit is a fundamental pillar of corporate governance\, entrusted with safeguarding organizational assets\, strengthening internal control systems\, and supporting boards and management in fulfilling their mandates. In today’s volatile and competitive environment\, internal auditors must possess a deep understanding of the business—its mission\, strategic priorities\, risks\, and operating landscape. At the heart of the profession lies a guiding question: Are we governing\, managing\, and executing in ways that protect and create sustainable value? \nGlobal and regional dynamics are reshaping organizational realities. Technological disruption\, digital transformation\, cybersecurity threats\, heightened regulatory demands\, ESG reporting expectations\, shifting markets\, and economic uncertainties have intensified stakeholder calls for transparency\, accountability\, and timely insights into emerging risks. This evolution has elevated internal audit from a compliance-oriented function to a forward-looking\, strategic partner in organizational resilience and governance excellence. \nThe release of the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025) marks a milestone for the profession. These harmonized standards set enhanced expectations around ethical conduct\, independence\, objectivity\, competence\, and audit quality. They emphasize robust assurance methodologies\, data-driven audits\, agile practices\, and a sharpened focus on risk management and governance effectiveness. To remain relevant\, internal auditors must integrate advanced analytics\, digital auditing tools\, ESG considerations\, and strategic insight into their work. \nAcross Kenya and the wider region\, organizations face economic pressures\, governance reforms\, digital adoption\, climate-related risks\, and tightening regulatory oversight. This dynamic environment demands internal auditors who can provide credible assurance\, exercise sound judgment\, maintain professional skepticism\, and deliver evidence-based insights to executive leadership. Effectiveness is now measured not only by the quality of findings\, but by the ability to anticipate risks\, guide decision-making\, and enhance long-term organizational value. \nLeading an internal audit function requires a delicate balance of technical excellence\, diplomacy\, and leadership. With teams often comprising both seasoned auditors and newcomers\, leaders must manage expectations\, uphold audit quality\, nurture talent\, and safeguard independence. Navigating organizational politics\, communicating difficult messages\, and aligning with governance priorities call for maturity\, resilience\, and strategic acumen. \nInternal audit functions must also continually assess their readiness and relevance. This involves strengthening competencies\, adopting new technologies\, advancing methodologies\, and conducting periodic quality assessments. A progressive audit function embraces continuous improvement\, fosters ethical culture\, and reinforces accountability across the organization. \nAgainst this backdrop\, ICPAK has organized the Internal Audit Masterclass\, a five-day program bringing together internal auditors\, audit committee members\, governance practitioners\, and professionals from diverse sectors. The Masterclass will explore the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025)\, advanced risk-based auditing\, governance collaboration\, ESG assurance\, cybersecurity\, digital auditing\, and strategic advisory capabilities. Designed to be highly experiential\, the program combines expert-led presentations\, case studies\, scenario-based learning\, practical demonstrations\, and peer exchange. Participants will gain insights into what works\, what does not\, and what defines excellence in modern internal audit practice\, while networking widely with peers from both public and private sectors. \nBy the end of the program\, participants will be equipped to elevate internal audit quality\, reinforce governance frameworks\, deliver value-adding assurance\, and support decision-making processes that advance transparency\, accountability\, and sustainable performance. The Masterclass underscores ICPAK’s commitment to strengthening the internal audit profession and empowering practitioners to meet the demands of an increasingly complex risk environment. \nThe Masterclass is divided into the following five modules covering key fundamental learning areas: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\n1.

SUMMARY:THE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Non-Finance Professionals with Practical Financial Insights for Informed Decision-Making\nDate: 4th-8th May 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha. \nOVERVIEW \nIn today’s interconnected business environment\, financial literacy is no longer confined to accountants and finance specialists. Non-finance professionals\, such as managers in marketing\, operations\, HR\, or IT\, increasingly need to understand financial principles to contribute effectively to organizational success. Finance training equips them with the tools to interpret financial data\, make informed decisions\, and align their departmental goals with the company’s overall financial health. \nThere is a growing need for professionals in all fields to have a basic understanding of financial concepts that would enable them to contribute to organizational decision-making. Interpreting financial information and appreciating the consequences of budgetary decisions\, or understanding the financial health of an entity\, are no longer the exclusive domain of a finance department. As organizations increasingly adopt more integrated approaches to operations\, finance continues to play a central role in ensuring transparency\, sustainability\, and responsible resource allocation. Enhancing financial competencies among staff outside the finance function supports better governance structures\, reduces risk\, and enhances the effective monitoring of performance \nOne of the primary benefits of finance training for non-finance professionals is enhanced decision-making. By understanding key concepts like budgeting and cost control\, non finance professionals will be able evaluate the financial implications of their choices\, leading to more strategic and profitable outcomes. This empowers them to identify opportunities for cost savings and revenue growth within their roles. \nThis finance training will also bridge communication gaps between departments. Non-finance staff often collaborate with finance teams on projects or reports. With basic financial knowledge\, they can speak the “language of finance\,” ask relevant questions\, and provide meaningful input\, fostering better teamwork and reducing misunderstandings. The conference will delve into reading and interpreting financial statements—the balance sheet\, income statement\, and cash flow statement. These documents provide a snapshot of a company’s financial position\, performance\, and liquidity\, allowing professionals to assess health and spot potential issues early. The discussions will bridge the gap in knowledge by equipping the non-finance professional with fundamental financial concepts supportive of informed decision-making\, accountability\, and performance improvement across roles and sectors. \nThe ABCs of Finance for Non-Finance Professionals Conference aims to demystify core areas of finance perceived to be complex. The approach is designed to give participants insights\, in a practical way\, into how financial systems work\, what the financial statements really say\, and how financial plans drive strategy and operational priorities. This conference offers an enabling\, yet simplified\, approach toward financial literacy\, empowering professionals to engage confidently with financial conversations and meaningfully contribute to organizational planning and control processes. \nAt the end of the conference\, participants should be able to appreciate how to interpret financial information; understand how budgets are prepared; analyze the performance of an organization; and assist executives in strategic resource allocation decisions. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the conference: \n\nIntroduction to Financial Management – Understanding the role of finance in organizational operations and decision-making.\nUnderstanding Key Financial Statements – A practical guide to interpreting the statement of financial position\, income statement\, and cash flow statement.\nBudgeting and Budgetary Controls – How budgets are prepared\, monitored\, and applied to manage resources effectively.\nCost Management and Cost Behaviour – Key concepts in identifying\, classifying\, and managing costs within different operational settings.\nWorking Capital and Cash Flow Essentials – Appreciating the importance of liquidity\, short-term financing\, and operational cash flow.\nFinancial Ratios and Performance Analysis – How to evaluate financial performance and organizational health using simple analytical tools.\nInternal Controls and Risk Awareness for Non-Finance Staff – Strengthening accountability and safeguarding organizational resources.\nLinking Finance to Strategy and Decision-Making – Understanding how financial insights support long-term planning and strategic initiatives.\nEthics\, Compliance\, and Governance Considerations – Building awareness of ethical responsibilities and compliance requirements influencing financial operations.\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course targets professionals from various fields who need to use financial information regularly in their interactions or organizational planning and decision-making. It will also be of relevance and great value to managers and supervisors in operations\, human resources\, procurement\, administration\, project management\, and corporate services who seek a stronger foundation in the concepts of finance for improving their effectiveness.

SUMMARY:THE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS AND LEADERS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS & LEADERS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Men for Transformative Leadership in Different Spheres\nDate: 11th – 15th May 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nThe Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference is designed as a premium platform for bringing together male professionals in the accounting\, finance\, and leadership spheres to reflect upon the evolving role they play in today’s corporate and socio-economic environment. With the relentless evolution of the workplaces supported by technological innovation\, regulatory changes\, and a call for a new orientation of leadership\, men in the profession will need to continuously reboot their skills\, mindset\, and approaches to leadership. \nJob skills training forms the technical foundation for success in professional men’s lives across all professions. Little emphasis is given to life skills such as personal finance management\, communication\, emotional intelligence\, leadership\, and resilience to ensure professional men are equipped with a well-rounded skill set for success in the workplace and home. The modern workplace is also experiencing continuous disruption from technology calling for upskilling and continuous learning. Increasingly\, the key to thriving in the future workplace will be the ability to harness the power of technology while addressing the ethical and social issues that come with a digitally transformed workplace. \nOne crucial topic for men in leadership is emotional intelligence. Traditional expectations often discourage men from expressing vulnerability or empathy\, yet modern leadership demands self-awareness and the ability to read and manage emotions in oneself and others. Developing emotional intelligence allows male leaders to build stronger relationships\, resolve conflicts effectively\, and foster trust within teams. By embracing empathy alongside assertiveness\, men can move beyond outdated stereotypes of stoicism and lead with greater authenticity and impact in diverse workplaces. \nAnother important area is inclusive leadership and allyship. As workplaces evolve toward greater gender equity\, men in leadership positions must actively support diversity by challenging biases\, promoting inclusive decision-making\, and serving as allies to underrepresented groups. This involves recognizing privileges associated with traditional male traits in leadership and using influence to create environments where all voices are valued. Male leaders who prioritize inclusion not only enhance team performance but also contribute to broader organizational and societal progress. \nMental health and personal well-being represent a vital topic\, particularly amid rising reports of isolation and stress among men. Leaders face immense pressure to provide and perform\, often leading to burnout or suppressed emotions. Prioritizing resilience\, seeking mentorship\, and modeling healthy habits—such as work-life balance and emotional literacy—enable men to sustain long-term effectiveness. Addressing personal health head-on prevents crises and sets a positive example for teams. \nAdapting to modern challenges\, including economic insecurity and rapid change\, is essential for male leaders. Many men grapple with shifting roles in a world of automation\, remote work\, and evolving expectations of masculinity. Cultivating adaptability\, continuous learning\, and strategic thinking helps navigate these uncertainties while maintaining purpose and connection. \nFinally\, balancing strength with vulnerability defines contemporary male leadership. Integrating traditional qualities like decisiveness and vision with openness\, humility\, and relational skills creates a more holistic approach. Men who seek role models\, process past experiences\, and build supportive networks lead not through dominance alone but through empowered\, collaborative influence that inspires lasting loyalty and results. \nThe entry of younger generations in the workforce has also become a major disruptor of the rule based traditional workplace. However\, future ready companies see the existence of a multigenerational diversity as a great advantage and work tirelessly to unlock the benefits of a multigenerational workplace by leveraging the strengths of each generation. \nComplementing the technical and leadership-focused discussions\, the conference will cover holistic wellbeing\, work-life balance\, and personal development\, recognizing that effective leadership is developed not only through professional competencies but also in emotionally resilient and purposeful living. The Inaugural Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference aims to create a reflective space\, networking opportunities\, and mentorship for the nurturing of all-round leaders who have the potential to make positive changes within organizations and greater society. The conference will seek to inspire its participants to achieve excellence\, integrity\, and adaptability as fundamental attributes through keynote sessions\, panel conversations\, and practical insights from distinguished leaders. \nThe following are topics to be discussed during the conference: \n\nModern Leadership for the Male Professional\nInclusive Leadership & Allyship – the Pinnacle of Survival\nEmotional Intelligence & Vulnerable Leadership for Men \nRecognizing and Countering Toxic Masculinity Patterns in Leadership\nPower Dynamics and How Male Leaders Can Redistribute Influence \nMen’s Role in Fostering Inclusive and High-Performing Teams\nMentoring vs. Sponsoring: Why Male Leaders Need to Do More of the Latter\nFinancial Stewardship in the Family\nWork–Life Balance and Personal Well-Being for Professional Men\nMental health\, stress management and resilience\nMan Talk- Panel Discussion on the leadership journey of renowned leaders\nEstate Planning for Male Leaders \nDealing with and Overcoming Divorce \nFuture-of-Work Leadership: AI\, Gen Z expectations\, and the end of traditional “alpha” styles\nBook Review: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl- In depth insights into finding purpose\, even in extreme adversity- a core component of resilient leadership\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe conference targets male professionals from all professional backgrounds doubling up as a mentorship and empowerment forum.  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the conference. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n1.

SUMMARY:RISK CHAMPIONS WORKSHOP 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRISK CHAMPIONS WORKSHOP\nTheme: Empowering Risk Champions to strengthen organization resilience and governance\n27th – 29th May 2026\nEka Hotel\, Eldoret \nOverview \nIn today’s dynamic and uncertain business environment\, organizations are exposed to a wide range of risks that can affect strategy execution\, operational performance\, and long-term sustainability. Effective risk management is therefore essential\, and Risk Champions play a vital role in embedding a proactive risk culture across the organization. By linking day-to-day operational realities with strategic oversight\, Risk Champions strengthen governance\, promote accountability\, and enhance organizational resilience. \nDeveloping Risk Champions goes beyond basic awareness of risk concepts. It involves equipping individuals with practical skills to identify emerging risks\, assess their potential impact\, prioritize responses\, and implement appropriate mitigation measures. Acting as the first line of defense\, Risk Champions monitor risk exposures\, coordinate risk information across departments\, and ensure alignment with organizational objectives and regulatory requirements. This proactive approach supports informed decision-making\, improves transparency\, and reinforces stakeholder confidence. \nModern risk environments are increasingly complex and interconnected\, organizations must therefore adopt integrated frameworks and technology-enabled solutions\, including Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance (GRC) platforms\, to enhance real-time risk tracking\, scenario analysis\, and enterprise-wide visibility\, thereby positioning risk management as a strategic decision-support function. \nThe Risk Champions Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the ERM process and its key components\, including risk appetite\, governance structures\, and roles and responsibilities. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this workshop to equip participants with practical skills\, insights\, and tools to function as proactive Risk Champions who can influence governance\, decision-making\, and enterprise risk management at all levels. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nOverview of Risk Management and Processes   \n \n·         What is Risk and Risk Management? \n·         Types of Risks \n·         Risk Management Approaches and Risk Management Processes (ISO 31000) \n·         Risk Management Structure \n·         Risk Identification and assessment\n\n\nRisk Identification and Formulation  \n \n·         Risk Classification\, \n·         Risk Assessment (Identification and Analysis) \n·         Risk Formulation (The Cause-and-Effect Relationship of Risk)\n\n\nRisk Ranking and Treatment  \n \n·         Risk Prioritization and Ranking (The Risk Ranking Matrix) \n·         Risk Assessment and Prioritization Techniques (Practical) \n·         Risk Evaluation \n·         Risk Tolerance and Risk Capacity \n·         Risk Monitoring and Reviewing\,\n\n\nDAY 2\nRisk Matrix and review of Risk Registers (practical) \n  \n \n·         Application of the Risk Matrix \n·         Establishing Risk Registers \n·         Risk Appetite\n\n\nRisk Control   \n \n·         Organizational Resilience and Business Continuity Planning \n·         Risk Control Techniques \n·         Using Key Risk Indicators (KRI’s) \n·         Risk Registers Development \n·         Risk Management Challenges \n·         Risk Maturity\n\n\nRisk Management Implementation  \n \n·         Risk Management Framework \n·         Risk Strategy \n·         Risk Governance \n·         Risk Readiness Checklist \n·         Leading Practices in Risk management Implementation\n\n\nDAY 3\nDriving ERM Initiatives and Implementation Projects: Design to Integration \n·         Overall ERM process\, including governance\, execution\, and reporting.\n\n\nLeveraging Technology: GRC and Cloud-Based Risk Management (Practical) \n \n·         Utilizing Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance platforms and cloud-based solutions to improve risk tracking\, visualization\, and reporting.\n\n\nRisk Mitigation Planning and Scenario Analysis (Practical)\n·         Developing risk responses (avoid\, reduce\, transfer\, accept) \n·         Creating action plans \n·         Testing controls through real-life scenarios\n\n\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Risk Champions\, Risk / Compliance Officers and Managers \,Internal Audit Function \,Internal Control Function \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \n\n2.   Delegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements  \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 We call on workshop participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com and will close one day before the training session.

SUMMARY:THE ANNUAL NPO CONFERENCE  (with PBORA)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE ANNUAL NPO CONFERENCE (with PBORA)\nTheme: Strengthening Accountability\, Transparency and Sustainability in the Non-Profit Sector\nDate: 15th – 19th June 2026\nVenue: Pride Inn Paradise Beach Hotel\, Mombasa\nTime: 09.30am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW: \nThe non-profit sector in Kenya remains central to social delivery and development finance\, but it is operating in a period of rapidly rising stakeholder expectations and regulatory tightening. Regulators and donors now demand stronger evidence of stewardship\, clearer links between funding and outcomes\, and financial reports that are comparable\, decision-useful and auditable. At the same time\, many NPOs face persistent operational weaknesses: fragmented accounting practices\, weak internal controls\, inconsistent recognition of grants and restricted funds\, poor donor reporting harmonization\, and low readiness for external assurance. These gaps undermine donor confidence\, hamper interoperability with government financing and create reputational risk for the sector. \nThe introduction of the International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) marks a pivotal moment for NPO financial reporting. INPAS is designed specifically to address NPO reporting needs including improving transparency\, comparability and credibility of NPO financial statements\, and providing sector-tailored guidance where existing for-profit standards are inadequate. INPAS is a standalone\, topic-based standard that builds on the IFRS for SMEs\, full IFRS and IPSAS where appropriate\, while adding NPO-specific solutions (for example on fund accounting\, revenue from grants/donations\, narrative reporting and transition requirements). Its objectives include improving decision-usefulness and accountability of NPO reports. \nPractical implementation of INPAS raises immediate technical and governance issues that must be handled at institutional and sectoral levels. Transition disclosures\, reconciliations to prior frameworks and narrative reporting are required by INPAS and will impose new preparation\, control and disclosure workstreams for many NPOs. INPAS also recognizes cost/benefit trade-offs and permits limited undue-cost exemptions where justified\, but any adoption still requires robust planning\, updated accounting policies\, staff retraining and stronger audit readiness. \nFor these reasons the Annual NPO Conference (with PBORA) will position INPAS not as a remote technical standard but as a practical\, implementable roadmap for accountability: one that requires coordinated action from boards\, finance teams\, auditors\, regulators and donors. The conference will therefore combine high-level policy dialogue with hands-on technical clinics\, worked examples and implementation toolkits so participants leave with clear next steps from revising accounting policies and preparing transition reconciliations to strengthening internal controls and improving donor reporting harmonization. This integrated approach will accelerate adoption\, reduce dual-reporting burdens and strengthen public confidence in the sector. \nTopics to be covered will include: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nINPAS: Purpose\, Scope and Strategic Implications for Kenyan NPOs\n·         Why INPAS was developed and its principal objectives (transparency\, comparability\, credibility). \n·         INPAS’ scope\, relationship to IFRS for SMEs / IFRS / IPSAS and when NPOs should use it. \n·         High-level differences NPOs must anticipate (fund accounting\, narrative reporting\, grant treatment). \n·         Strategic implications for boards\, funders and auditors; setting a sectoral adoption roadmap. \n \n\n\nTransition to INPAS: Practical Steps & Required Disclosures\n·         Transition mechanics: retrospective application\, reconciliation requirements and required narratives. \n·         Preparing the reconciliation of net assets and surplus/deficit to prior framework (checklist). \n·         Handling impracticability and undue cost/effort exemptions (disclosure expectations). \n·         Project plan template: stakeholder map\, data gaps\, timetable and governance for transition \n \n\n\nFund Accounting & Restricted Funds under INPAS\n·         Core concepts: restricted vs unrestricted funds and fund presentation requirements. \n·         Recognition and measurement of donor-restricted grants and endowments. \n·         Designing fund ledgers\, chart of accounts and disclosures aligned to B8 Fund Accounting. \n·         Practical ledgers and reclassification examples. \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nNarrative Reporting: Making Financials Decision-Useful\n·         Minimum narrative components required by INPAS (management commentary / narrative reporting). \n·         Linking narrative reporting to financial statements and programme outcomes. \n·         Materiality\, non-financial KPIs and the user-focus principle in INPAS narrative guidance. \n·         Practical template for an NPO narrative report.\n\n\nNon-Financial Assets: PPE\, Intangibles\, Investment Property & Impairment\n·         Recognition and measurement rules for property\, plant & equipment and intangibles (E2\, E4). \n·         Investment property accounting and presentation. \n·         Impairment testing and disclosure (E5) with worked examples relevant to NPO assets. \n·         Asset register best practices and depreciation policy checklists.\n\n\nCompliance and Regulatory Reporting (PBORA focus)\n·         PBO Act\, 2024 & upcoming regulations \n·         Interplay between INPAS financial statements and regulatory returns;

SUMMARY:Audit Documentation- ISA 230 Practical Course 2026
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\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium\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 COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \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.

Beyond technical competence\, employers\, clients\, and colleagues increasingly focus on how professionals present themselves\, communicate their strengths\, and demonstrate their unique value. A strong personal brand builds the credibility and trust that modern workplaces demand\, especially as organizations seek strategic\, ethical\, and adaptable individuals. By clearly articulating their expertise and maintaining consistent visibility\, professionals position themselves as dependable\, resourceful\, and forward-thinking contributors\, ultimately gaining a significant competitive advantage and enhancing long-term career growth. \nToday\, branding extends far beyond physical workplaces into the digital world. Platforms such as LinkedIn\, online forums\, webinars\, and industry events offer professionals valuable opportunities to showcase expertise\, share knowledge\, and expand their networks. By managing their online presence strategically\, individuals can shape how they are perceived\, attract meaningful connections\, and open doors to new collaborations and career opportunities. \nThis Evening Networking Forum aims to equip participants with practical skills for building and strengthening their personal brands across various platforms.

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: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 Woodlands\, Nakuru \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 .
