SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IFRS S1 and S2 WORKSHOP 2026 (Mandatory Training) virtual option
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP\nDATE: 2nd -6th March 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTheme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2 \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global corporate reporting landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as sustainability-related risks and opportunities increasingly affect enterprise value\, capital allocation\, and long-term business viability. Investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and other capital providers are no longer satisfied with high-level ESG narratives; they are demanding decision-useful\, comparable\, and verifiable sustainability information that is clearly connected to financial performance and position. \nIn response to this demand\, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) to establish a global baseline for sustainability reporting that is investor-focused\, consistent\, and integrated with financial reporting. These standards reposition sustainability disclosures from stand-alone reports to an integral component of general-purpose financial reporting\, subject to governance\, controls\, and assurance expectations similar to those applied to financial statements. \nHowever\, despite growing awareness of IFRS S1 and S2\, many organizations face significant challenges in operationalizing the standards. Preparers often understand the conceptual requirements but struggle with practical questions such as: \n\nWhat constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?\nHow should governance\, strategy\, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?\nWhich metrics and targets are appropriate\, reliable\, and defensible?\nHow can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements\, assumptions\, and judgments?\nHow should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?\n\nIn many cases\, existing ESG reports are narrative-heavy\, inconsistently structured\, and weakly linked to financial outcomes. This creates credibility risks\, exposes organizations to accusations of greenwashing\, and undermines the usefulness of sustainability information for decision-making. For emerging and developing markets in particular\, capacity constraints\, data limitations\, and evolving regulatory expectations further compound these challenges. \nThis workshop is designed to respond to that bridge that gap. By focusing on practical reporting application rather than standard-by-standard exposition\, it aims to equip participants with the tools\, frameworks\, and confidence required to prepare clear\, coherent\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2. The workshop also recognizes sustainability reporting as a journey\, supporting participants in moving from initial compliance toward mature\, integrated\, and credible sustainability reporting practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, boards\, and auditors\n\n\nB.   Identifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments\n\n\nC.   Reporting Governance\, Strategy\, and Risk Management\n·         Governance disclosures: roles of the board and management \n·         Linking sustainability risks and opportunities to strategy \n·         Integrating sustainability into enterprise risk management (ERM) \n·         Avoiding boilerplate disclosures \n·         Examples of strong vs weak IFRS S1 governance narratives \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Selecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n·\n\n\nE.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices \n \n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n \nG.   Connectivity Between Sustainability and Financial Reporting\n·         Linking sustainability risks to financial impacts \n·         Implications for revenue\, costs\, assets\, liabilities\, and provisions \n·         Consistency between sustainability disclosures and management commentary \n·         Avoiding contradictions between ESG reports and financial statements \n·         Preparing for assurance and audit scrutiny\n\n\nDAY 3\nH.   Climate-related Risks and Opportunities under IFRS S2\n·         Physical vs transition climate risks \n·         Short-\, medium-\, and long-term climate impacts \n·         Identifying climate-related opportunities \n·         Value chain and geographic considerations \n·         Climate-related targets and transition plans \n \n\n\n \nI.     Preparing a Coherent IFRS S1 & S2–Aligned Report\n·         Structuring sustainability disclosures \n·         Integrating IFRS S1 and S2 requirements coherently \n·         Avoiding duplication across reports \n·         Readiness for assurance and regulatory review \n·         Roadmap for continuous improvement and year-on-year enhancement\n\n\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. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 20 Structured CPD Units. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 54\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\n ONLINE 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 \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).

SUMMARY:Internal Audit: Global Internal Audit Standards Seminar (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternal Audit: Global Internal Audit Standards Seminar (mandatory training)\nDate: 11th – 12th March 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme- Transforming Internal Audit for Strategic Impact and Sustainable Organizational Value \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nInternal audit\, much like the unseen systems that guide everyday decision-making\, is fundamental to how organizations anticipate risks\, strengthen accountability\, and sustain operational integrity. It plays a central role in shaping the quality of oversight\, the accuracy of financial reporting\, and the robustness of governance structures. Yet\, as global corporate failures and governance breakdowns continue to demonstrate\, risks often escalate not because controls are absent\, but because they are outdated\, poorly implemented\, or misaligned with strategic realities. \nThe release of the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025) marks a pivotal moment for the profession. These standards provide a unified global framework that reinforces ethical conduct\, independence\, objectivity\, and quality assurance—positioning internal audit as a strategic function that enhances resilience\, strengthens stakeholder confidence\, and safeguards long-term value. They reshape expectations of the profession by demanding deeper risk insights\, more rigorous methodologies\, and a more forward-looking perspective on organizational vulnerabilities. \nWhether you are a seasoned Internal Auditor or beginner\, the Global Internal Audit Standards workshop offers participants an opportunity to develop a foundational and fundamental understanding of the internal audit profession\, the internal audit process\, and how the IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF)\, including the Global Internal Audit Standards that became  effective in 2025 and serve as the guiding compass for the internal audit activity. \nThe workshop delivers an enhanced level of knowledge of the professional practice of internal auditing to experienced Internal Audit practitioners\, those who are pursuing an understanding of the internal audit nomenclature as new practitioners and external auditors who are transitioning to internal auditing through an in-depth exploration of the domains\, principles\, and standards. \nThe seminar is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to IIA guidance found in the IPPF\nGlobal Internal Audit Standards: Comparisons and contrasts between internal audit to external audit.\nPurpose\, authority\, and responsibility of the internal audit activity and concept of governance.\nDomain 1: Purpose of Internal Auditing.\nDomain II: Ethics and Professionalism.\nDomain III—Governing the Internal Audit Function \nDomain IV- Managing the Internal Audit Function\nDomain V- Performing Internal Audit Services\nApplying the Global Internal Audit Standards in the Public Sector\nStrengthening Organizational Resilience\nGlobal guidance\, topical requirements\, GIAS preparedness and gap assessment\nAction Plan for Internal Auditors for GIAS implementation\nEthics And Professionalism in Internal Auditing\n\n Target Audiences \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.

SUMMARY:The IFRS Seminar-mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nThe IFRS Seminar (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 25th – 26th March 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme: Promoting Integrity and Comparability in Financial & Sustainability Reporting \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe global financial reporting landscape continues to rapidly change with the ongoing drive for greater regulatory scrutiny\, technological transformation and calls for transparent and comparable information. The International Financial Reporting Standards remain at the core of promoting high-quality financial reporting\, and professionals must remain updated on new standards\, amendments and challenges in implementation. The virtual symposium is therefore structured to attain current comprehensions of IFRS requirements that would ensure that participants maintain competence in an environment in which accuracy and compliance are not open to negotiation. \nIFRS has been subject to significant updates lately\, including new guidance on financial instruments\, revenue\, leases\, sustainability disclosures and insurance contracts. In fact\, the updated standards have far-reaching implications on recognition\, measurement\, presentation and disclosure. The symposium will provide practical insights into how to navigate these complex standards\, emerging issues associated with fair value measurement\, impairment assessments and financial risk disclosures\, along with integration of sustainability information under IFRS S1 & S2. \nThe increasing demands of the profession go hand in hand with expectations for professional judgment to be exercised and consistency to be maintained in financial reporting\, amidst the ever-evolving business models and sophisticated transactions. The symposium will emphasize challenges encountered when applying principles-based standards so that participants can feel confident about interpreting the requirements of IFRS in different industries and financial environments. Focus will be on practical applications\, case studies\, and common pitfalls observed in practice. \nBringing technical experts and practitioners together in this virtual symposium provides an avenue for deepening understanding\, discussing experiences regarding implementation and enhancing the capacity of finance and accounting professionals. It reiterates the commitment to high-quality reporting and equips participants with practical tools that will help enhance compliance with standards\, improve stakeholder communication and maintain the integrity of financial information\, as part of global best practices. \nTopics \nIFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information \n\nPurpose and objectives of IFRS S1\nRelationship with other sustainability reporting frameworks – GRI & TCFD\nDisclosure Requirements – Governance\, Strategy\, Risk management\, Metrics & Targets\n\nIFRS S2 – Climate Related Disclosures \n\nPurpose and scope of IFRS S2\nBoard oversight of climate-related issues\nManagement’s role in assessing and managing climate risks\nIdentifying climate-related risks and opportunities\nImpacts on business model\, strategy\, and financial planning\n\nGHG Emissions (Metrics & Tragets) \n\nIntroduction to GHG Emissions\nOverview of the GHG Protocol (Scope 1\, 2 & 3 emissions)\nManaging Climate Risks and Reducing Emissions\nClimate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions\nSteps to create a transition plan\n\nThe Sustainability Reporting Cycle \n\nAllocating responsibility for sustainability reporting\nEstablishing the reporting landscape\nDetermining the material sustainability related information to be reported\nDetermining the data requirements\nCollecting the data\nReporting on the data collected\nImplementing reporting\n\nIFRS 9: Financial Instruments \n\nClassification and Measurement: Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities\nImpairment: IFRS 9 introduced a forward-looking Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model.\nHedge Accounting\nDerecognition\n\n IFRS 7: Financial Instruments Disclosures \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 7\nCategories of financial instruments\nDisclosure Requirements for Financial Risks\nStatement of Financial Position\nDisclosure for Impairment of Financial Instruments\nDisclosure for Liquidity Risk\nMarket Risk Disclosures\n\nIFRS 16: Leases \n\nOverview of IFRS 16\nLease term determination and reassessment considerations\nRecognition and measurement of right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities\nLease modifications: Accounting treatment from both lessee and lessor perspectives\nPresentation and disclosure requirements in the financial statements\n\nIFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 15\nScope and recognition\nMeasurement of revenue\nContract costs\nPresentation and disclosure\n\nIFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements \n\nIncome statement structure\nManagement-defined performance measures\nAggregation and disaggregation\nOther changes for the financial statements\nInterim financial reporting\nEffective date and transition\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.
