SUMMARY:Audit Quality Assurance Workshop-mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Quality Assurance Workshop – Mandatory Training\nDate: 22nd-23rd July 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm daily\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme: Strengthening Audit Quality for Public Trust & Professional Excellence \n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAudit Quality Assurance remains the cornerstone of public confidence in financial reporting and the credibility of the accounting profession. In Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly demanding environment characterized by heightened regulatory oversight\, frequent quality inspections\, complex reporting frameworks\, expanded stakeholder expectations\, and growing exposure to litigation and reputational risk. These realities place audit quality not just as a technical requirement\, but as a strategic professional imperative. \nDespite significant regulatory progress and the adoption of international auditing and quality management standards\, inspection findings and practice reviews continue to reveal persistent gaps in key areas such as audit planning\, risk assessment\, documentation quality\, use of professional judgment\, audit evidence\, ethical compliance\, and firm-level quality management systems. Many practitioners still grapple with balancing commercial pressures\, client expectations\, independence requirements\, and the need for consistent\, high-quality audit execution. \nIn the Kenyan context\, auditors must also contend with complex public sector engagements\, evolving corporate governance standards\, procurement-driven audit risks\, and weak internal control environments in some institutions. These dynamics heighten exposure to audit failure\, fraud risk\, and regulatory sanctions—underscoring the urgent need for continuous professional upskilling focused on practical audit quality assurance. \nThis 2-Day Virtual Audit Quality Assurance Symposium is therefore designed as a focused\, practical\, and capacity-building forum to strengthen the foundations of audit quality in Kenya. It will address the entire audit quality value chain—from engagement acceptance\, planning\, and risk assessment to execution\, reporting\, ethics\, and firm-wide quality management. The symposium will also emphasize regulatory expectations\, inspection readiness\, and proactive quality control as essential components of sustainable audit practice. \nThrough practitioner-led discussions\, regulatory insights\, case studies\, and experience-sharing\, participants will be equipped with practical tools\, renewed professional judgment\, and structured quality assurance approaches to enhance consistency\, reduce audit failure risk\, and reinforce compliance with international standards. Ultimately\, the symposium seeks to reposition audit quality as a professional culture—not merely a compliance obligation—anchored in integrity\, competence\, and accountability. \n\nAudit Quality as a Professional Culture\n\n\nPositioning audit quality beyond compliance into a firm-wide culture anchored on integrity\, objectivity\, and public interest responsibility.\n\n\nRisk-Based Audit Planning & Professional Judgment\n\n\nStrengthening auditors’ capacity to conduct robust risk assessments\, exercise sound professional judgment\, and design responsive audit strategies in complex and high-risk environments.\n\n\nAudit Execution\, Evidence & Documentation Excellence\n\n\nEnhancing the quality of audit testing\, audit evidence sufficiency\, and documentation standards to meet regulatory inspection expectations and withstand legal and professional scrutiny.\n\n\nEthics\, Independence & Managing Commercial Pressures\n\n\nReinforcing ethical compliance\, independence safeguards\, and conflict management amidst client pressure\, competition\, advocacy threats\, and economic constraints.\n\n\nFirm-Level Quality Management Systems (ISQM 1 & 2)\n\n\nPractical implementation of Quality Management Systems at the firm and engagement partner level\, focusing on leadership responsibility\, engagement quality reviews\, monitoring\, and continuous improvement.\n\n\nRegulatory Expectations\, Inspections & Practice Review Readiness\n\n\nPreparing practitioners for ICPAK and external regulator inspections through proactive quality controls\, common inspection findings\, remediation strategies\, and sustainable compliance approaches.\n\nTarget Audience  \nThe virtual symposium is not limited to accountancy only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \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 interested participants to note that booking for the event is available online at www.icpak.com  and will close two hours before the training session. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

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 .

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.

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: Defensibility\, 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 Enforcement in a Data-Driven Era \n\nThe New Face of Tax Audits: Data Analytics\, Automation\, and Real-Time Enforcement\nManaging Audit Risk in an Aggressive Revenue Collection Environment\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\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. It is also open to all Tax Professionals\, Audit Practitioners\, Senior Management of Organizations\, CEOs and Boards and government officials/experts who deal with international tax or transfer pricing in Africa and wish to gain a deeper technical understanding of relevant tax matters. \nAll members who would wish to practice in the future are also encouraged to enroll on the course as it provides practical skills required for effective performance of their roles in taxation and tax advisory services. \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS: \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the event. \n FINANCIAL INVESTMENT: \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKShs 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKShs. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKShs. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation**\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nNote: Seminar charges cater for training fee\, training materials\, certificate and meals during the event. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on all participants to note that booking 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 \, you can also reach us through marketing@icpak.com \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Audit Staff Training-A Practical Approach (Mandatory Training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Staff Training-A practical Approach (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Future-Ready Auditors: Enhancing Quality\, Innovation and Trust.\nDate: 30th September -1st October 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe audit profession is undergoing unprecedented transformation driven by technological advancements\, evolving stakeholder expectations\, increasing regulatory scrutiny\, and the growing complexity of business transactions. Auditors are expected not only to provide assurance on financial information but also to navigate emerging risks\, leverage technology effectively and uphold the highest standards of professional judgment and ethical conduct. \nGlobally\, audit regulators and standard setters continue to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening audit quality and restoring public confidence in the profession. Recent developments such as the International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2)\, revisions to risk assessment and auditing standards\, increased focus on sustainability reporting and assurance\, and the adoption of advanced data analytics tools are reshaping audit methodologies and engagement practices. \nIn Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly complex environment characterized by heightened regulatory expectations\, digital transformation\, evolving reporting requirements\, and growing concerns over fraud\, cybersecurity threats\, and financial reporting quality.

SUMMARY:Branch Annual Tax Workshop-Mandatory Training (Nyanza Branch)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nBranch Annual Tax Workshop  (Nyanza Branch) Mandatory Training\nTheme: Navigating Tax Compliance in a Changing Regulatory Landscape\nDate: 10th – 11th December 2026\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Kisumu\, To be Confirmed\n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe modern tax landscape in Kenya and globally presents multifaceted challenges. Finance professionals must navigate corporate income tax\, VAT\, excise duties\, PAYE\, transfer pricing\, digital taxation\, and emerging compliance requirements. Non-compliance exposes organizations to financial penalties\, reputational risks\, and operational disruption. Accountants\, tax practitioners\, auditors\, and finance managers therefore play a critical role in safeguarding compliance\, advising on strategic tax planning\, and supporting overall organizational decision-making. \nDirect taxes sting the pockets of workers\, entrepreneurs and investors\, and simultaneously reducing their disposable income. The combined effect is to squeeze household budgets\, diminishing livelihoods\, lifestyle choices and business activity. In a context where governments have to cope with less revenue\, increasing expenditure and resulting fiscal constraints\, raising revenue remains the most important function of taxes. This serves as the primary means for financing public goods such as maintenance of law and order and public infrastructure. \nToday’s tax environment is increasingly complex\, with rapid legislative changes\, heightened regulatory scrutiny\, digitalization of tax administration\, and international tax reforms challenging professionals to ensure compliance while optimizing tax positions. \nThe Branch Annual Tax Workshop has been designed to equip participants with practical knowledge\, technical skills\, and actionable insights for effective tax management. Through a combination of technical instruction\, interactive exercises\, real-world scenarios\, and practical case studies\, participants will explore key aspects of domestic taxation\, corporate and personal tax obligations\, indirect taxes\, tax audits\, dispute resolution\, and ethical tax practice. The workshop also introduces participants to digital tax tools\, emerging trends\, and strategic considerations in integrating tax functions with organizational objectives. \nBy the end of this two-day program\, participants will be prepared to manage complex tax issues\, ensure compliance with Kenyan tax laws\, implement practical strategies\, and contribute to organizational efficiency\, transparency\, and value creation. \nTopics to be covered include:  \n\nEthical standards and professionalism in tax practice -Code of conduct requirements\nTax Dispute resolution\nChanges in tax requirements – Overview of the Tax Laws and recent amendments\nOverview of Cross-border trade and international compliance and requirements\nVAT Act and compliance with recent changes\ne-TIMS real-time reporting (RTR) and compliance obligations and Technological advancements on tax compliance\n\nTarget Audience \nThis training is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration. It is also open to all Tax Professionals\, Audit Practitioners\, Senior Management of Organizations\, CEOs and Boards and government officials/experts who deal with international tax or transfer pricing in Africa and wish to gain a deeper technical understanding of relevant tax matters. \nAll members who would wish to practice in the future are also encouraged to enroll on the course as it provides practical skills required for effective performance of their roles in taxation and tax advisory services. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.
