SUMMARY:ICPAK /EACC -FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS MASTERCLASS BEYOND THE NUMBERS: FORENSIC ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\nAND\nTHE KENYA ETHICS AND ANTI-CORRUPTION ACADEMY \nFINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS MASTERCLASS\nBEYOND THE NUMBERS: FORENSIC ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION\nTheme: Follow the Money: From Financial Red Flags to Evidence\n23RD – 27TH NOVEMBER 2026\nMOMBASA. \nOVERVIEW \nFinancial crime increasingly involves complex transactions\, sophisticated corporate structures\, multiple jurisdictions\, digital financial platforms and emerging technologies. Fraud\, corruption\, money laundering\, illicit enrichment\, procurement-related financial crime and other economic offences frequently leave a financial trail that\, when properly identified\, analyzed and interpreted\, can provide critical evidence for investigation\, prosecution and asset recovery. \nFinancial investigation therefore plays a critical role in moving beyond the identification of an offence to establishing how the money was generated\, where it went\, who benefited\, what assets were acquired and how the financial trail can be converted into admissible and actionable evidence. \nThe ability to “follow the money” requires more than conventional accounting knowledge. Investigators\, accountants\, auditors\, financial analysts and other practitioners must be able to identify financial red flags\, obtain and evaluate financial information\, analyse transactions\, trace funds and assets\, identify beneficial ownership\, construct financial relationships and communicate complex financial findings clearly. \nThe increasing use of digital financial services and virtual assets has further transformed the financial investigation landscape. Investigators and financial professionals must therefore understand emerging financial crime typologies\, digital transactions\, virtual assets\, data analytics and the investigative opportunities and challenges presented by technology. \nAt the same time\, effective financial investigations increasingly depend on collaboration among investigators\, accountants\, auditors\, financial intelligence professionals\, regulators\, prosecutors\, asset-recovery practitioners and other agencies. Cross-border transactions and sophisticated financial structures make inter-agency and international cooperation essential to successful financial investigations. \nThe Financial Investigations Masterclass is therefore designed to strengthen the practical capacity of professionals involved in detecting\, investigating and responding to financial crime. The five-day programme will take participants through the financial investigation journey—from the identification of the first financial red flag\, through intelligence gathering and financial analysis\, to evidence development\, case-file preparation\, courtroom presentation and asset recovery. \nThe Masterclass adopts a highly practical “Follow the Money” approach\, combining expert-led sessions\, case studies\, practical exercises\, simulations\, group work and peer learning. Participants will work progressively through a practical case study\, applying the concepts and techniques introduced during the programme. \nThe Masterclass is intended not merely to impart knowledge\, but to equip participants with practical tools that can be applied in their respective professional environments. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Financial Investigation: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL CRIME & RECOGNISING FINANCIAL RED FLAGS\n·         Concept of Financial Investigation & Forensic Accounting \n·         Financial Crime\, Fraud Schemes and Red Flags \n·         Sources of Financial Information & Investigative Intelligence\nParticipants will be introduced to the concepts\, principles and purpose of financial investigation and forensic accounting\, including the distinction between financial investigation\, audit and forensic accounting and the role of accountants in financial investigations. It will cover major financial crime and fraud typologies\, predicate offences\, money laundering and common financial red flags. Participants will also explore sources of financial information and investigative intelligence\, including financial and accounting records\, banking and company information\, digital and mobile-money records\, open-source information and the identification of information gaps requiring further investigation. \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nB.   FINANCIAL ANALYSIS & FOLLOWING THE MONEY \n·         Forensic Financial Analysis Techniques \n·         Bank Transaction & Data Analytics for Fraud Detection \n·         Following the Money: Financial Flow Analysis\nParticipants will learn about the application of forensic financial analysis techniques to identify\, interpret and reconstruct financial activity.

Participants will examine unusual transactions\, related accounts\, duplicate or split payments\, supplier and employee relationships and other transaction patterns. The day will culminate in applying the follow-the-money approach to trace the source\, movement and application of funds and reconstruct financial flows.\n\n\nDAY 3\nC.   TRACING ASSETS\, BENEFICIARIES & PROCEEDS OF FINANCIAL CRIME\n·         Corroborating evidence \n·         Asset Tracing\, Lifestyle Analysis & Beneficial Ownership \n·         Practical Case Study: Follow the Money\nThe focus will shift from financial transactions to identifying the persons\, assets and beneficiaries connected to financial crime. Participants will explore methods of corroborating financial findings using documentary\, witness and expert evidence\, as well as inter-agency and cross-border cooperation. Key areas will include asset identification and tracing\, beneficial ownership\, related companies and connected persons\, lifestyle analysis and unexplained wealth. A practical case study will enable participants to apply the follow-the-money methodology to identify financial flows\, beneficiaries\, assets and potential proceeds. \n  \n \n\n\nDAY 4 \nD.   FINANCIAL EVIDENCE\, REPORTING & EMERGING FINANCIAL CRIME RISKS\n·         Financial Evidence & Evidence File Preparation \n·         Financial Investigation Report Writing \n·         Emerging Financial Crime Risks & the Future of Financial Investigations – Panel Discussion\nParticipants will learn how to convert financial analysis into structured\, reliable and defensible evidence.

SUMMARY:THE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme: From Controls to Intelligence: Redefining Integrity through Risk and Forensic Insight\nDate: 30th November – 4th December 2026\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa\nTime: 09.00am–03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nOrganizations today operate in environments defined by speed\, complexity\, and interconnected systems. Decisions are increasingly driven by digital platforms\, automated processes\, and real-time data flows. While governance frameworks and internal controls remain essential\, recent experiences across sectors have demonstrated that traditional control-based assurance models\, on their own\, are no longer sufficient to detect emerging risks or prevent organizational failure. \nModern risk exposure has evolved into sophisticated threats including cyber-enabled fraud\, insider manipulation\, data integrity risks\, money laundering schemes\, weak governance oversight\, and ethical blind spots embedded within organizational culture. These risks often materialize subtly\, amplified by technology\, fragmented accountability\, and delayed responses. Assurance functions must therefore move beyond static checklists and adopt intelligence-driven approaches that anticipate\, detect\, and respond to risk in real time. \nInternal audit functions are increasingly expected to act as strategic partners to Boards and senior management\, providing forward-looking assurance and insight rather than retrospective reviews. This evolution requires stronger integration of risk intelligence\, data analytics\, forensic methodologies\, and governance oversight. Forensic accounting\, once viewed primarily as a reactive investigative tool\, is now a critical component of proactive risk management\, supporting early detection of irregularities and strengthening accountability mechanisms. \nAt the same time\, organizations face heightened regulatory scrutiny\, growing public expectations for transparency\, and increasing pressure to demonstrate ethical leadership. Whistleblowing systems\, audit trails\, anti-money laundering controls\, and ethical culture are no longer optional safeguards but essential pillars of institutional credibility. Professionals charged with safeguarding these systems must therefore possess not only technical competence\, but also judgment\, resilience\, and the ability to navigate complex risk landscapes. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Internal Audit\, Risk\, and Forensic Conference provides a strategic forum for practitioners\, regulators\, and organizational leaders to examine how assurance functions can evolve from control-focused compliance roles into intelligence-led enablers of integrity and trust. Through expert insights\, practical case studies\, and cross-sector dialogue\, the conference will explore how risk intelligence and forensic insight can be leveraged to strengthen accountability\, protect value\, and enhance organizational resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE \nTOPICS\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 1\nInternal Audit in a Rapidly Evolving Environment \n \n\n\nIndependence\, objectivity\, and stakeholder expectations\nStrategic alignment with organizational goals\nCollaboration with external audit and assurance providers\n\n\n\n\nAudit Technology and Intelligent Risk Detection \n \n\n\nContinuous auditing and monitoring tools\nAutomation\, AI\, and data analytics in audit practice\nCybersecurity and digital forensics\n\n\n\n\nAudit Trails and Transaction Monitoring for Accountability \n \n\n\nDesigning robust audit trails\nTransaction reconstruction and data integrity\nDetecting anomalies through monitoring systems\n\n\n\n\n  \nDAY 2\nRisk-Based Auditing and Internal Control Frameworks \n \n\n\nCOSO and ISO 31000 in practice\nLinking risk assessment to audit planning\nEvaluating control effectiveness\n\n\n\n\nGovernance Structures and Oversight of Risk \n \n\n\nBoard and audit committee responsibilities\nRisk ownership and accountability\nIntegrating governance with enterprise risk management\n\n\n\n\nForensic Accounting and Financial Statement Fraud \n \n\n\nPrinciples and techniques of forensic investigations\nFraud indicators and red flags\nLessons from forensic case studies\n\n\n\n\n  \nDAY 3\nAnti-Money Laundering and Financial Crime Risks \n \n\n\nAML frameworks and regulatory expectations\nTechnology-enabled financial crime detection\nCrypto-assets\, fintech risks\, and cross-border trends\n\n\n\n\nCorporate Scandals and Assurance Failures \n \n\n\nHow controls and governance systems break down\nLessons from global and regional cases\nStrengthening accountability and reform measures\n\n\n\n\nWhistleblowing Frameworks and Ethical Accountability \n \n\n\nDesigning effective reporting mechanisms\nProtecting whistleblowers and managing retaliation risks\nEthical responsibilities of leadership and professionals\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nDAY 4\nEthical Culture\, Behaviour\, and Fraud Risk \n \n\n\nCulture as a driver of ethical or unethical conduct\nLinking ethics to risk management\nBuilding sustainable ethical environments\n\n\n\n\nProfessional Resilience and Well-being in Assurance Roles \n \n\n\nManaging stress in high-pressure audit and risk functions\nEmotional resilience and mental well-being\nDecision-making under uncertainty and sustaining professional judgment\n\n\n\n\n\n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the Internal Audit\, Risk\, and Forensic Conference. \nTARGET AUDIENCE  \nThe Conference is open to all Accountant Professionals\, Audit Practitioners\, Senior Management\, Risk Professionals\, CEOs\, and Boards. \nCONFERENCE CHARGES: \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKShs 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKShs. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKShs. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation**\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.
