SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th – 18th June 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAs global expectations for transparency and accountability continue to rise\, organizations are increasingly required to demonstrate credible performance on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) matters. Sustainability assurance has therefore become essential in strengthening stakeholder confidence by enhancing the reliability and quality of sustainability-related disclosures. With the rapid adoption of sustainability reporting frameworks and the alignment of financial and non-financial information\, professionals must deepen their understanding of the evolving assurance landscape. \nThe shift toward standardized sustainability reporting\, especially with the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, alongside established frameworks such as GRI\, SASB and local regulatory requirements\, has created a need for consistent application and interpretation. These frameworks provide the structure for identifying material ESG issues\, defining reporting boundaries and ensuring comparability across organizations and industries. \nClimate-related disclosures have emerged as integral to sustainability reporting. Accordingly\, understanding Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions become increasingly important as an entity measures and reports on its environmental impact. Accurate measurement and disclosure of emissions are increasingly linked to both financial reporting and enterprise risk management-factors that make this an area of significant focus during sustainability assurance engagements. \nHigh-quality ESG assurance requires quality internal controls\, reliable data systems\, and robust verification procedures. Practitioners should keep in mind the special challenges that arise when assessing ESG risks\, testing control environments\, and gathering evidence during limited or reasonable assurance engagements\, which are different from those encountered in traditional financial audits. The effective collection of data\, proper structuring of documentation\, and rigorous processes for verification are very important for credible sustainability reporting to the expectations of regulators and investors and wider stakeholders. \nThe workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following: \nOverview of Sustainability Assurance \n\nThe purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.\nThe role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.\nHow sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.\nKey drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance\n\n Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks \n\nGlobal frameworks: GRI\, SASB\, ISSB\, IFRS S1 & S2.\nLocal sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.\nAlignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.\nEmerging disclosure requirements for climate\, social\, and governance metrics.\n\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting \n\nUnderstanding Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions.\nRelevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.\nGHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).\nTransition risks\, climate scenarios\, and their impact on disclosures.\n\nSustainability Assurance Engagements \n\nUnpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000\nTypes of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.\nKey procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.\nIndependence\, ethical requirements\, and assurance provider qualifications.\nCommon challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.\n\nData Collection\, Verification\, and Reporting \n\nBest practices for ESG data collection and quality control.\nVerification techniques and third-party assurance.\nData governance\, documentation\, and internal record-keeping standards.\nUse of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.\n\nESG Risk Management and Internal Controls \n\nIntegrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.\nEnsuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.\nDesigning internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.\nMonitoring\, evaluation\, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \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:Forensic\, Fraud and Internal Controls Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nForensic\, Fraud and Internal Controls Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Strengthening Integrity\, Accountability\, and Resilience Through Forensic Insights and Internal Controls\nDate: 19th-20th August 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nIn today’s fast-paced and complex professional environment\, the risk of fraud\, financial misstatement\, and governance failures has escalated across both public and private sectors. Organizations face operational\, financial\, and compliance challenges daily\, and even minor lapses in controls or ethical judgment can compromise organizational integrity\, reputation\, and stakeholder trust. For accounting\, audit\, finance\, and risk professionals\, proficiency in forensic accounting\, fraud detection\, and internal control frameworks is critical to ensuring organizational resilience. \nForensic insights and robust internal controls are no longer merely compliance tools—they are strategic enablers that help professionals detect irregularities\, prevent misconduct\, and maintain operational and financial accuracy. Professionals equipped with these skills can identify vulnerabilities in processes\, monitor critical systems\, and recommend interventions that strengthen governance structures. Modern digital technologies\, including data analytics\, AI-powered tools\, and continuous monitoring platforms\, have enhanced the ability to detect anomalies\, investigate suspicious transactions\, and prevent fraud before it escalates. \nA strong understanding of internal controls and forensic methodologies also promotes ethical decision-making and accountability. Professionals learn to navigate complex operational and financial landscapes\, maintain transparency\, and foster cultures that resist fraud and unethical behavior. Applied skills in transaction monitoring\, audit trails\, risk assessment\, whistleblower frameworks\, and investigative techniques ensure participants can contribute to an environment of trust\, resilience\, and accountability. \nThis two-day workshop blends practical exercises\, case studies\, and interactive discussions to provide participants with hands-on experience in forensic accounting\, fraud detection\, and internal controls. Delegates will explore real-world scenarios\, practice investigative and risk assessment techniques\, and discuss strategies for enhancing organizational integrity. The workshop also emphasizes collaboration\, ethical judgment\, and the application of technology in safeguarding financial and operational systems. \nIt is in recognition of the critical role of forensic accounting\, fraud awareness\, and internal controls in professional practice that the Institute has organized this workshop. The session is designed to enhance participants’ technical competence\, ethical awareness\, and practical skills to strengthen accountability\, governance\, and organizational resilience. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nFoundations of Forensic Accounting and Fraud Risk\n\n\nPrinciples\, purpose\, and scope of forensic accounting\nIdentifying common fraud schemes and red flags\nThe role of forensic accounting in organizational governance\n\n\nInternal Controls and Risk Mitigation\n\n\nDesigning\, assessing\, and strengthening internal control systems\nLinking controls to organizational objectives and compliance frameworks\nMonitoring mechanisms to prevent operational and financial breaches\n\n\nFraud Detection Techniques and Technology\n\n\nLeveraging data analytics\, ERP systems\, and continuous monitoring\nUsing AI and forensic software to detect irregularities\nCase studies demonstrating technology-driven fraud detection\n\n\nWhistleblowing\, Ethics\, and Accountability\n\n\nPrinciples and importance of whistleblower frameworks\nProtecting whistleblowers and promoting ethical decision-making\nLessons from real-life whistleblowing successes and failures\n\n\nApplied Forensic Case Studies\n\n\nScenario-based exercises to detect\, investigate\, and respond to fraud\nDeveloping mitigation strategies and risk response plans\nGroup discussions to reinforce practical learning\n\n\nStrengthening Governance and Networking with Forensic Awareness\n\n\nBoard and management roles in fraud risk oversight\nStrategies for promoting transparency\, accountability\, and ethical culture\nNetworking and peer collaboration to share experiences and practical insights\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \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.
