SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION 2 (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 2 (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme:  “Enhancing Transparency\, Sustainability\, and Accountability through High Quality Financial Reporting\nDate: 7th -11th September  2026\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino Thika Road\, Nairobi\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nFinancial reporting remains a critical pillar for transparency\, accountability\, governance\, and informed decision making within organizations\, capital markets\, and the broader economy. High quality financial reporting enhances stakeholder confidence\, supports effective stewardship of resources\, strengthens investor trust\, and promotes sound organizational and economic decision making. As the business and regulatory environment continues to evolve\, the demand for reliable\, relevant\, and decision-making useful financial information has become increasingly important. \nRecent developments in financial reporting\, including new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) such as IFRS 18\, together with the growing adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2)\, are reshaping the reporting landscape globally. In addition\, increasing stakeholder expectations around environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) disclosures continue to expand the scope of corporate reporting beyond traditional financial statements. \nAt the same time\, technological advancements in automation\, artificial intelligence\, data analytics\, and digital reporting tools are transforming how financial information is prepared\, analyzed\, presented\, and communicated. These developments require finance professionals to continuously strengthen their technical competence\, exercise sound professional judgment\, and embrace innovative approaches to reporting and disclosure. \nDespite notable progress in reporting practices\, organizations continue to experience challenges in the application of key reporting standards and disclosure requirements\, particularly in areas such as revenue recognition\, financial instruments\, leases\, consolidation\, taxation\, employee benefits\, and sustainability related reporting. Insights from regulatory reviews and the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards 2025 continue to highlight both significant improvements and recurring gaps in compliance\, disclosure quality\, transparency\, consistency\, and application of standards. \nThe evolving role of accountants and finance professionals now extends beyond compliance focused reporting to include broader responsibilities in governance\, sustainability reporting\, business reporting\, performance analysis\, stakeholder communication\, and strategic decision support. This transformation requires professionals to remain responsive to emerging reporting developments while maintaining integrity\, accountability\, and public trust. \nIn response to these evolving demands\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Annual Financial Reporting Conference to provide a comprehensive platform for finance professionals to strengthen technical expertise\, gain practical insights into emerging reporting developments\, and enhance the quality and integrity of financial reporting practices. \nThe conference will bring together standard setters\, regulators\, industry experts\, preparers of financial statements\, auditors\, and finance practitioners to facilitate technical learning\, peer engagement\, practical discussions\, and knowledge sharing aimed at advancing transparency\, sustainability\, accountability\, and best practice in financial reporting. \nKey topics to be covered \n\n The Evolving Landscape of Financial Reporting\n\n\nGlobal developments in financial reporting and IFRS updates\nIFRS 18 and emerging presentation and disclosure requirements\nAligning financial reporting with stakeholder expectations\nStrengthening trust through transparency and accountability\n\n\n Sustainability and Climate Related Reporting\n\n\nIFRS S1 and IFRS S2 implementation considerations\nClimate related disclosures and scenario analysis\nIntegrating ESG into financial and strategic reporting processes\nPractical challenges and emerging best practices\n\n\n Sustainability and Industry Based Reporting Frameworks\n\n\nIndustry specific sustainability disclosure approaches\nPractical application of sustainability reporting frameworks\nSustainability metrics and disclosure expectations\nEnhancing comparability and consistency in reporting\n\n\n IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\n\n\nGeneral presentation requirements\nCategorization in profit or loss\nManagement defined performance measures\nDisaggregation and transparency principles\n\n\n5.

SUMMARY:ISAs Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training) 
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISAs Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Enhancing Audit Quality Through Compliance with ISAs\nDate: 9th – 10th September 2025\nVenue: Virtual\nThis is one of the Mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration \nOverview \nThe global financial reporting environment is rapidly evolving\, placing increased emphasis on transparency\, accountability\, and compliance. International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB)\, provides a globally recognized framework that promotes the quality\, consistency\, and credibility of audit engagements. As stakeholders place greater reliance on audited financial statements\, the role of auditors in enhancing confidence in financial reporting and supporting informed decision-making has become increasingly important. \nThe audit profession continues to evolve in response to an increasingly complex business environment characterized by rapid technological advancements\, economic uncertainty\, changing regulatory expectations and heightened stakeholder demands. As organizations navigate these challenges\, auditors are expected to exercise greater professional skepticism\, apply sound professional judgment\, and respond effectively to emerging risks while maintaining compliance with auditing standards. \nThe growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, data analytics\, and other digital technologies is transforming the audit landscape\, creating new opportunities for improving audit effectiveness while also introducing additional risks and considerations. At the same time\, increased focus on fraud prevention\, business resilience\, accounting estimates\, going concern assessments and quality management has heightened expectations of auditors and audit firms. \nThis virtual workshop will provide participants with practical insights into key areas shaping the profession today\, including risk assessment\, fraud risk management\, technology-enabled auditing\, auditing accounting estimates and going concern assessments\, audit evidence and documentation\, audit reporting\, quality management\, and emerging trends influencing the future of auditing. Through technical presentations\, practical case studies\, and interactive discussions\, participants will enhance their understanding of ISAs and strengthen their ability to deliver high-quality audit engagements. \nKey Topics to be Covered \n\n Enhancing Audit Quality Through Effective Risk Assessment\n\n\nApplying ISA 315 (Revised) in identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement\nUnderstanding internal controls and significant risks\nPractical challenges and lessons from audit inspections\n\n\n Professional Skepticism and Fraud Risk Management\n\n\nAuditor responsibilities under ISA 240\nIdentifying fraud indicators and responding to fraud risks\nStrengthening professional judgment and skepticism\n\n\n Technology\, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Auditing\n\n\nLeveraging technology to improve audit effectiveness\nData analytics and technology-enabled audit procedures\nOpportunities and risks associated with AI in auditing\n\n\n Auditing Accounting Estimates and Going Concern Assessments\n\n\nKey requirements of ISA 540 (Revised) and ISA 570 (Revised)\nEvaluating management assumptions and judgments\nAddressing uncertainty in today’s business environment\n\n\n Obtaining Audit Evidence and Strengthening Audit Documentation\n\n\nApplying the requirements of the ISA 500 series\nCommon documentation deficiencies and inspection findings\nBest practices for maintaining high-quality audit files\n\n\n Audit Reporting and Communicating Matters that Matter\n\n\nForming audit opinions under the ISA 700 series\nKey Audit Matters (KAMs) and modified opinions\nEnhancing stakeholder communication through audit reporting\n\n\n Quality Management and Lessons from Audit Inspections\n\n\nPractical implementation of ISQM 1 and ISQM 2\nRoot causes of audit quality deficiencies\nBuilding a culture of quality within audit firms\n\n\n Emerging Trends Shaping the Future of Auditing\n\n\nSustainability reporting and assurance developments\nEvolving regulatory expectations\nFuture skills and competencies for auditors\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\nMid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\nIndividuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing\nTax Practitioners and Tax Experts\nFinancial Controllers and Credit Managers\n\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. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Tax Practice in a High-Enforcement Era: Preparedness\, Data and Accountability”.\nDATE: 14TH – 18TH SEPTEMBER 2026\nVENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA MOMBASA\nTIME: 09.00AM – 03.30PM\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nTax practice has entered a decisive enforcement phase in which understanding tax law is no longer sufficient on its own. Across the globe\, revenue authorities are shifting from compliance-oriented engagement to assertive\, technology-enabled enforcement models that emphasize data interrogation\, real-time reporting\, and retrospective scrutiny of tax positions. The implementation stage of global reforms\, particularly under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework and BEPS Pillar II\, has intensified audit activity and increased exposure to penalties\, adjustments\, and reputational risk for both taxpayers and their advisors. \nIn Kenya\, this shift is increasingly evident. Successive Finance Acts\, the expansion of electronic invoicing through eTIMS\, enhanced third-party data integration\, and a more aggressive audit posture by the Kenya Revenue Authority have fundamentally changed how compliance is assessed and enforced. Tax audits are now faster\, more data-driven\, and less reliant on negotiated outcomes. County governments\, facing growing fiscal pressure\, are also strengthening own-source revenue enforcement\, introducing an additional layer of compliance and dispute risk for businesses and professionals alike. \nAs enforcement intensity rises\, the role of the tax professional is being redefined. Practitioners are now expected to design and defend tax positions capable of withstanding deep forensic scrutiny\, manage electronic evidence trails\, respond to simultaneous national and county audits\, and guide clients through complex dispute and litigation processes. At the same time\, heightened enforcement has amplified ethical pressure\, professional liability exposure\, and reputational risk\, particularly where aggressive tax planning\, documentation weaknesses\, or governance failures are involved. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the 14th Annual Tax Convention is deliberately positioned as an advanced\, practice-oriented forum focused on enforcement realities rather than policy theory. The Convention will examine how tax laws are applied in practice\, how audits are conducted\, how disputes unfold\, and how professionals can protect both their clients and themselves in an increasingly unforgiving regulatory environment. Through technical sessions\, real-world case analysis\, and regulatory perspectives\, participants will gain practical insights into audit readiness\, defensibility\, dispute management\, and ethical decision-making under pressure. \nKey Coverage Areas of the 14th Tax Convention \nThe 14th Annual Tax Convention will delve into the following topical areas among others \nTheme 1: Tax Policy in a Data-Driven Era \n\nUpdate on the implementation of the National Tax Policy\nHarnessing Data to Expand the Tax Base Without Increasing Tax Rates\nThe New Face of Tax Audits: Data Analytics\, Automation\, and Real-Time Enforcement\nManaging Audit Risk through the Lens of the Finance Act 2026: Default Assessments\, anti-avoidance provisions and prepopulated returns\n\nTheme 2: Defensibility\, Evidence\, and Audit Readiness \n\nBuilding Defensible Tax Positions: Documentation\, Professional Judgement\, and Risk Assessment\n\n\nElectronic Evidence\, eTIMS Data\, and Transaction Reconstruction in Tax Audits\n\nTheme 3: Advanced International Tax and Transfer Pricing \n\nBEPS Pillar II in Practice: Compliance Failures\, Data Gaps\, and Enforcement Risks\nTransfer Pricing Audits: Trends\, Red Flags\, and Defense Strategies\nRegional integration and investment in Africa: The place of EAC on the global solutions implementation\n\nTheme 4: Disputes\, Litigation\, and Multi-Level Tax Risk \n\nManaging Tax Disputes from Assessment to Appeal: Practical Strategies\nCounty Own-Source Revenue Enforcement: Legal Risk\, Compliance\, and Litigation\n\nTheme 5: Accountability\, Ethics\, and Professional Survival \n\nEthics and Independence Under Pressure: Managing Client Expectations and Regulatory Scrutiny\n\n\nProfessional Liability\, Sanctions\, and Reputational Risk in Tax Practice\nTax Governance and Board Accountability: Strengthening Oversight in High-Enforcement Environments\n\nANNUAL TAX CONVENTION OBJECTIVES  \nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\nAnalyse the evolving tax enforcement environment in Kenya\, the region\, and globally\, and assess its implications for tax advisory and compliance practice.\nBuild and document defensible tax positions capable of withstanding data-driven audits and regulatory scrutiny.\n\n\nApply advanced skills in audit readiness\, electronic evidence management\, and transaction reconstruction\, particularly in the context of eTIMS and digital records.\n\n\nNavigate tax disputes and litigation more effectively\, including managing assessments\, objections\, appeals\, and negotiations with revenue authorities.\nInterpret and implement BEPS Pillar II and international tax rules with a focus on compliance risk\, penalties\, and enforcement exposure.\nStrengthen competence in transfer pricing audits\, including documentation standards\, red-flag identification\, and defence strategies.\n\n\nEvaluate emerging county and sub-national tax enforcement risks and manage overlapping national and county tax obligations.\nIntegrate ESG\, carbon taxation\, and sustainability obligations into tax practice with an appreciation of enforcement and disclosure risk.\n\n\nUphold ethical judgment\, independence\, and professional integrity under heightened regulatory\, commercial\, and reputational pressure.\nEnhance professional resilience by understanding personal liability\, sanctions\, and reputational risk associated with modern tax practice.\nSupport continuous professional development through advanced\, practice-oriented\, CPD-certified learning aligned with current enforcement realities.\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE  \nThis training is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration.
