Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) Cohort 1
2025-11-24 14:00 - 2026-02-28 16:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Ethics for professional accountants Webinar cohort 1
Date: 24th November 2025
Time: 02.00pm-04.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration)
Overview
Ethics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework.
This webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest, self-review, advocacy, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice.
Independence in assurance engagements will be another major theme, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency, long association, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices, touching on issues such as client pressure, conflicts of interest, fee negotiations, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms.
Emerging issues will also form part of the discourse, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence, where concerns about confidentiality, data protection, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms, including tone at the top, staff sensitization, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies.
By the end of the webinar, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession.
Topics to be covered will include:
• Overview of the IESBA Code
• The Conceptual Framework
• Independence in Assurance Engagements
• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice
• Emerging Ethics Issues
• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms

Meetings Etiquette and Effective Delegation Webinar
Date: 9th December 2025
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
In modern workplaces, the ability to lead structured, respectful, and results-oriented meetings, coupled with effective delegation skills is critical to achieving organizational efficiency. Meetings serve as essential platforms for communication, collaboration, and strategic alignment. However, poorly managed meetings often lead to wasted time, unclear outcomes, and reduced team morale. By observing proper meeting etiquette, professionals can ensure that meetings are purposeful, inclusive, and productive.
Meeting etiquette includes practices such as setting clear agendas, starting and ending on time, active listening, minimizing interruptions, respectful dialogue, and following through on action items. These standards create an environment where participants feel valued, discussions stay focused, and decisions are made efficiently. In virtual or hybrid settings, etiquette becomes even more important to maintain professionalism and engagement.
Complementing meeting etiquette is the ability to delegate tasks effectively, a key leadership function that empowers teams and drives productivity. Effective delegation involves identifying suitable tasks to assign, choosing the right individuals based on competencies, communicating expectations clearly, and providing support and feedback. It enables leaders to focus on strategic priorities, while building capacity and accountability within their teams.
The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) invites you to this virtual webinar as it aims to enhance participants’ professional communication, organizational leadership, and team management capabilities. This training will provide practical insights and tools to improve how meetings are conducted and how responsibilities are shared for optimal performance.

Taxation is a cornerstone of organizational governance, compliance, and strategic planning. Beyond generating revenue for governments, it significantly influences corporate strategy, financial management, and long-term sustainability. Today’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.
The 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.

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.
The program emphasizes the accountant’s role as a strategic partner, ensuring that taxation aligns with corporate governance, compliance, and long-term planning. Participants will gain practical insights into best practices for filing, reporting, audit preparation, dispute management, and leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and accuracy. The course also reinforces ethical standards and professional responsibility in tax practice, supporting transparency, accountability, and stakeholder confidence.
In this regard, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this workshop to equip participants with practical skills, insights, and tools to function as proactive Tax Champions, capable of influencing governance, strategic decision-making, and enterprise tax management at all levels. By 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.

THE ANNUAL PRACTICAL ETHICS FORUM
The role of accountants extends beyond financial leadership to incorporate broader responsibilities both in governance and ethics. The swiftly evolving global landscape, characterized by technological advancements, interconnected economies, and diverse societal challenges, makes the principles of integrity and accountability to be more crucial than ever. Corporate success or failure is reliant on strong ethics and governance practices which ensure that financial reporting and practices are conducted with integrity, transparency and accountability.
Corporate ethics is the moral behaviour of a company and its employees while conducting business. It examines ethical principles and dilemmas in business conduct, affecting individuals and organizations. These ethics stem from personal values, policies, or legal frameworks, and guide businesses in interactions with stakeholders. Business ethics encompass contemporary standards, principles, and norms. Governance and ethics are fundamental aspects of the accounting profession,
The Annual Practical Ethics Forum will enable accountants to deepen their knowledge on ethical matters while exploring emerging trends to upholding integrity and accountability in the accounting profession through training and sharing best practices.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IFRS S1 and S2 WORKSHOP 2026 (Mandatory Training) virtual option
2026-03-02 09:00 - 2026-06-30 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP
DATE: 2nd -6th March 2026
TIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Theme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The 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.
In 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.
However, 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:

What constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?
How should governance, strategy, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?
Which metrics and targets are appropriate, reliable, and defensible?
How can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements, assumptions, and judgments?
How should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?

In 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.
This 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.

Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Theme- Transforming Internal Audit for Strategic Impact and Sustainable Organizational Value
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
Internal 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.
The 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.
Whether 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.
The 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.
The seminar is designed to cover the following topics:

Introduction to IIA guidance found in the IPPF
Global Internal Audit Standards: Comparisons and contrasts between internal audit to external audit.
Purpose, authority, and responsibility of the internal audit activity and concept of governance.
Domain 1: Purpose of Internal Auditing.

Theme: Promoting Integrity and Comparability in Financial & Sustainability Reporting
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
The 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.
IFRS 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.
The 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.
Bringing 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.

Date: 1st-2nd April 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Virtual
This is one of the Mandatory Trainings for practicing certificate consideration
Overview
External audit plays a critical role in enhancing public trust, strengthening governance, and ensuring the integrity of financial reporting across all sectors. In today’s environment, auditors are expected to go beyond traditional compliance approaches and adopt a strategic, risk-focused, and value-driven methodology. The profession is shaped by regulatory reforms, complex business models, digitization, sustainability considerations, and increasing stakeholder demands for transparency and accountability.
Modern audit practice requires professionals who exercise sound judgment, uphold ethical standards, and maintain strong quality management frameworks. Auditors must anticipate emerging risks, leverage technology and data analytics, and deliver assurance that supports governance, organizational resilience, and informed decision-making. Continuous professional development is therefore essential to navigate evolving standards, reporting requirements, and heightened expectations around skepticism, documentation, and independence.
The Forum will equip practitioners with advanced insights, technical expertise, and practical tools to excel in this demanding environment. The forum covers quality management systems, risk-based audit planning, ethical considerations, technology-driven audit methodologies, regulatory updates, ESG reporting, and lessons from common audit deficiencies. Participants will gain practical guidance to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of engagements while complying with local and global standards.
As external auditing safeguards the public interest, auditors must be future-oriented, ethically grounded, and aligned with international best practices. This forum provides a platform for engagement with peers, regulators, and thought leaders, fostering knowledge exchange and strengthening the ability to deliver high-quality, value-adding audits that reinforce the credibility of the profession.

Income Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar -mandatory training
2026-04-08 09:00 - 2026-05-31 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Income Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar-Mandatory Training
Date: 8th – 9th April 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM
Mode of Delivery: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration)
Overview
The ever-changing economic environment, bearing on the Government’s imperatives for revenue, coupled with changes in the global tax environment and advances in the use of technology to administer taxes, continues to redefine the taxation environment in Kenya. The recently enacted amendments to income tax and indirect tax laws have greatly impacted the way business, individuals, and professionals perform their financial reporting and compliance obligations. As the Kenyan government increases its tempo in implementing tax reforms to raise revenue mobilization, especially from domestic sources, taxpayers are increasingly required to demonstrate unprecedented levels of tax literacy, compliance, and moral obligation. In this respect, targeted capacity building for accounting and finance professionals is increasingly warranted to equip them with updated knowledge and practical insights into the changing tax framework.
ICPAK intends to hold a seminar that brings together tax practitioners, accountants, auditors, finance professionals, policymakers, and industry players to discuss emerging developments in income and indirect taxes. The forum will enable review of recent changes in legislation, administrative guidelines, judicial decisions, and best practices on how to plan for and comply with taxes. It shall also provide participants with an opportunity to discuss with experts’ practical challenges that affect business pertaining to, among other areas, tax risk management, tax audits, digital taxation, cross-border taxation challenges, and the shifting landscape of tax policy relative to business sustainability and economic growth.
One key focus will be the recent changes in tax legislation. The seminar will also dig into the complex topic of transfer pricing, focusing on the impact of these regulations on multinational corporations and how businesses can align their policies with international guidelines such as the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) framework. Participants will receive practical guidance on managing transfer pricing risks and ensuring compliance with global standards.
In addition to income tax, the seminar will cover key issues in indirect taxes, starting with the evolving landscape of Value Added Tax (VAT). The session will address the latest updates in VAT regulations, compliance and opportunities for businesses to manage VAT refunds and audits effectively. Further discussions will cover the administration of excise taxes, particularly in light of emerging trends in digital goods and services, as well as the broader impact of excise duties on business profitability.
This seminar will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of income and indirect taxes while ensuring compliance and identifying tax planning opportunities.
Target Audience
This virtual symposium will be useful to all professional Accountants and other professionals interested in taxation.
Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS):
Members of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the virtual symposium.

ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
2026-04-28 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
Date: 28th April 2026
Time: 4.00-6.00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
In 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.
ISA 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.
The session will focus on how to:

Determine what constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit evidence
Assess the reliability of evidence from different sources
Apply professional judgment when using information produced by the entity
Evaluate the consistency and relevance of audit evidence obtained
Address limitations in audit evidence and respond appropriately when evidence is contradictory or incomplete

The 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.

International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop -Mandatory Training
2026-05-06 09:00 - 2026-07-07 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
International Taxes & Transfer Pricing Workshop
Date: 6th – 7th May 2026
Time: 9.00-4.00PM
Mode Of Delivery: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration)
Overview
The world business environment has continued to change in ways that blur borders and extend the reach of enterprises beyond domestic jurisdictions. As cross-border transactions have become more routine, the tax complexities associated with such activities have mounted and the level of scrutiny applied to them has intensified. Compliance regimes are being clamped down globally, multinational groups rethink operating models, and professional accountants are expected to show deeper competence in international taxation regimes and transfer pricing principles. In this setting, practitioners serving clients with either regional or global footprints must therefore balance strategic tax planning with strict adherence to the law.
This workshop aims to provide a reflective yet practical look into international taxation and transfer pricing, focusing on the realities faced by Kenyan entities involved in cross-border arrangements. It combines issues of current concern, regulator expectations, and technical guidance that practitioners need to internalize in meeting their competency obligations. Participants will have a greater insight into how the multinational groups structure their operations, how the tax authorities construe such arrangements, and how accountants can assist in complying without unduly compromising sound commercial decisions.
With the increased attention that the OECD, the African Tax Administration Forum, and KRA are giving to the fair taxation of multinational operations, this workshop will demystify selected technical concepts using case studies and regulatory updates. This is also an avenue through which practitioners can reflect on how domestic tax rules interact with evolving international standards, particularly with respect to transfer pricing documentation, resolution of disputes, and management of tax risks. Each session is structured in a way that enhances both theoretical and practical insights to ensure that participants leave the sessions with information they can apply directly in client advisory, audits, and organization tax planning.
In the end, the program reinforces ICPAK’s commitment to enhancing the professional competence of its members, especially those studying for or maintaining a Practicing Certificate. The workshop deepens appreciation of various international tax dynamics and transfer pricing obligations, thus enabling practitioners to contribute towards ensuring that the profession upholds integrity and, by extension, supports transparent, equitable tax practices in an increasingly interdependent economy.

Overview of IFRS S1 and S2 webinar
2026-05-12 16:00 - 2026-05-14 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Overview of IFRS S1 & S2 Webinar
12th May 2026
Time: 4.00- 6.00PM
Venue – Virtual
Overview
The 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.
IFRS 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.
Creating 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.
It 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:

Introduction to IFRS Sustainability standards
