SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION 2 (MANDATORY TRAINING) virtual 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: Virtual Delivery \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:INSURANCE AND BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINSURANCE & BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE\nTheme: Driving Financial Resilience\, Market Adaptation and Reporting Excellence in Kenya’s Financial Services Sector\nDate: 15th -17 July 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe banking and insurance sectors remain key pillars of Kenya’s economic growth and financial stability. However\, the operating environment continues to evolve rapidly due to changing regulatory requirements\, economic uncertainties\, technological disruption\, increasing customer expectations\, and emerging risks. Financial institutions are therefore required to strengthen their financial reporting frameworks\, enhance risk management practices\, maintain adequate capital levels\, and leverage innovation to remain competitive and resilient. \nThe implementation of major reporting standards such as IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments continues to reshape financial reporting across the sector. While significant progress has been made\, institutions continue to face challenges relating to data quality\, systems integration\, actuarial modelling\, expected credit loss calculations\, and evolving regulatory expectations. At the same time\, boards and management are under increasing pressure to improve governance structures\, strengthen internal controls\, and provide transparent and decision-useful information to stakeholders. \nTechnological innovation is also transforming the financial services landscape. The growth of digital banking\, mobile financial services\, fintech and Insurtech solutions\, artificial intelligence\, and advanced data analytics is creating new opportunities for operational efficiency\, customer engagement\, and financial inclusion. However\, these developments also introduce emerging risks relating to cybersecurity\, data governance\, operational resilience\, and regulatory compliance. \nFurther\, the sector continues to play a critical role in advancing financial inclusion and supporting economic development. Despite the significant progress achieved in expanding access to financial services\, institutions must continue developing innovative products and delivery channels that meet the needs of underserved populations while maintaining sound risk management practices. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Institute has organized the Insurance & Banking Sector Conference 2026 to provide a platform for regulators\, practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, actuaries\, risk professionals\, policy makers\, and industry leaders to discuss emerging developments\, share practical experiences\, and explore strategies for enhancing financial reporting\, institutional resilience\, governance\, innovation\, and sustainable growth within the financial services sector. \n The conference will explore the following thematic areas: \n\nEconomic Outlook\, Regulatory Developments and Sector Resilience\n\n\nEmerging economic and regulatory developments affecting banks and insurers\nPrudential supervision and compliance expectations\nBuilding resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment\n\n\n IFRS 17: Implementation Progress and Emerging Challenges\n\n\nLessons learned from implementation\nContractual Service Margin (CSM)\, actuarial and systems considerations\nFinancial reporting implications and regulatory expectations\n\n\n IFRS 9 and Credit Risk Management\n\n\nExpected Credit Loss (ECL) modelling and impairment challenges\nCredit risk management in a changing economic environment\nEmerging implementation and regulatory developments\n\n\nCapital Adequacy\, Solvency and Reinsurance Strategies\n\n\nCapital adequacy and solvency requirements\nStress testing and capital optimization\nStrategic use of reinsurance for risk mitigation and financial resilience\n\n\nAdvancements in Actuarial Valuation and Risk Modelling\n\n\nEmerging actuarial techniques and innovations\nPredictive modelling and insurance risk assessment\nPractical insights from industry\n\n\nDigital Transformation\, Fintech and Artificial Intelligence\n\n\nAI applications in banking and insurance\nFintech and Insurtech innovations\nData analytics and automation in financial reporting and decision-making\n\n\nCybersecurity\, Data Governance and Operational Resilience\n\n\nEmerging cyber risks and threat management\nData governance and protection requirements\nStrengthening operational resilience and business continuity\n\n\nAnti-Money Laundering Considerations for Banking & Insurance Sectors\n\n\nAnti-Money Laundering and Automatic Exchange of Financial Information updates\nAML Regulatory framework updates\nKenya’s Grey-Listing -Causes and your role in supporting getting Kenya out of Grey Listing\nAML Compliance Challenges-Politically Exposed Persons\, Beneficial Ownership\, Due Diligence\nForeign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) obligations\nCommon Reporting Standards (CRS) Obligation\n\n 9.

SUMMARY:Overview of IFRS S1 and S2 webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nOverview of IFRS S1 & S2 Webinar\n12th May 2026\nTime: 4.00- 6.00PM\nVenue – Virtual \nOverview \nThe release of IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures represents a transformative shift in corporate reporting and a cornerstone for organizations seeking to integrate sustainability into mainstream financial reporting. Developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, these standards provide a systematic and comprehensive framework for identifying\, assessing\, and disclosing sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could affect an entity’s cash flow\, access to finance\, or cost of capital. Well-prepared disclosures enhance transparency\, facilitate accountability\, and provide stakeholders with relevant\, faithful\, comparable\, and verifiable information\, thereby supporting informed decision-making and strengthening investor confidence. \nIFRS S1 establishes overarching principles for sustainability disclosures\, emphasizing four key pillars: governance\, strategy\, risk management\, and metrics & targets. By requiring entities to consider material sustainability matters\, assess reporting boundaries\, and ensure consistency with financial statements\, IFRS S1 enables organizations to present a clear and holistic picture of how sustainability issues influence their performance and long-term value creation. IFRS S2 builds on this foundation by focusing specifically on climate-related risks and opportunities\, including physical and transition risks\, scenario analysis\, climate resilience strategies\, and greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1\, 2\, and 3. Together\, these standards promote integrated thinking\, encouraging organizations to move beyond isolated reporting of ESG issues toward a comprehensive approach that aligns sustainability disclosures with strategic objectives and financial performance. \nCreating and implementing disclosures under IFRS S1 and S2 is central to proactive sustainability reporting. It provides a practical tool for identifying and monitoring emerging risks\, evaluating the organization’s climate exposure\, and aligning mitigation strategies with operational and strategic priorities. By systematically documenting and disclosing material sustainability matters\, organizations are better prepared to anticipate disruptions\, respond to stakeholder expectations\, and allocate resources efficiently. This contributes to enhanced governance\, reduced uncertainty\, and improved resilience\, ultimately increasing the organization’s ability to achieve long-term objectives. \nIt is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to equip participants with skills for understanding\, interpreting\, and applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. The session is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to IFRS Sustainability standards\nIFRS S1 general requirements for sustainability-related financial information\nIFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures – Risk Management\, Metrics and Targets\, Core Disclosure Requirements\nIFRS S2: GHG Emissions – Introduction to GHG Emissions under IFRS S2\, GHG Emission Key Concepts and Terminology\nImplementation Considerations\, Readiness Assessment\, and Assurance Requirements\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Sustainability Practitioners\, Consultants\, Auditors\, Advisors \, Investors and Financial Analysts \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar\nDate: 28th April 2026\nTime: 4.00-6.00PM\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nIn today’s complex and fast-evolving business environment\, audit practitioners are increasingly challenged by sophisticated transactions\, digital records\, automation\, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. At the heart of audit quality lies one fundamental requirement—the ability to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support a well-founded audit opinion. ISA 500 provides the core framework that guides auditors on what constitutes reliable evidence and how it should be obtained\, evaluated\, and documented. \nISA 500 is the backbone of the entire audit process\, influencing every audit judgment and conclusion. Yet\, in practice\, auditors frequently face challenges relating to the reliability of management information\, the use of external confirmations\, the impact of technology on evidence\, and the risk of over-reliance on weak or insufficient audit documentation. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional audit practitioners with a clear\, practical\, and risk-focused understanding of ISA 500\, emphasizing its application in real-world audit engagements. \nThe session will focus on how to: \n\nDetermine what constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit evidence\nAssess the reliability of evidence from different sources\nApply professional judgment when using information produced by the entity\nEvaluate the consistency and relevance of audit evidence obtained\nAddress limitations in audit evidence and respond appropriately when evidence is contradictory or incomplete\n\nThe webinar will adopt a practical\, application-driven approach\, highlighting common pitfalls\, inspection findings\, and audit failure risks associated with weak evidence. Key areas such as the use of external confirmations\, management representations\, analytical procedures\, and technology-generated evidence will be explored in line with current audit practice expectations. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be better equipped to apply ISA 500 in their day-to-day professional practice. This will enable them to deliver effective and sound audit opinions that are adequately backed by credible\, defensible\, and high-quality audit evidence. \nTarget Audience \nThis training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \nContinuous Professional Development Units \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFinancial Commitment: \n\n\n\nCategory\nVirtual \n \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\n\nNote: This is virtual training and therefore training materials\, meals and other related provisions are not required. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events.

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.

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).
