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 .
