ISA for Less Complex Entities Course -physical option
Theme: Adopting ISA for Less Complex Entities: Simplifying the Audit Process
Date: 23rd -24th October 2025
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Overview
The International Standards on Auditing (ISA) prescribe the principles and practices, which auditors are expected to follow in the conduct of Audit. They provide minimum guidance to the Auditor that helps determine the extent of auditing steps and procedures that should be applied in the audit and constitute the criteria or yardstick against which the quality of audit results are evaluated. Conducting audits in accordance with standards gives necessary assurance to people making use of the financial statements and audit reports.
Large complex organizations typically require a more in-depth application of these full ISAs given their scope of business and applicability. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs.
The introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits.
This course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs.
The following topics will be covered:
1. Introduction to ISA for Less Complex Entities
• Background
• The rationale for ISA for Less complex entities
• Public interest overriding consideration
2. Differences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs
3. Core concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities
• Fundamental Concepts, General Principles and Overarching Requirements
• Audit Evidence and Documentation
• Engagement Quality Management
• Acceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements
• Planning
• Risk Identification and Assessment

Risk registers development course (virtual option)
2025-11-05 09:00 - 2026-02-28 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Risk Register Development Course (virtual Option)
Hybrid Event – CPA Centre and Virtual
5th – 6th November 2025
Theme- Strengthening Governance Through Effective Risk Register Development
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Overview
Risk register development is a vital element of robust risk management and a cornerstone of organizational resilience. It offers a systematic and proactive method for identifying, analyzing, prioritizing, and responding to risks that could impede the achievement of both strategic and operational goals. A well-designed risk register gives organizations clear visibility into potential threats, facilitates accountability by assigning risk ownership, and supports the tracking of mitigation actions. This process not only enhances the quality of decision-making but also encourages strong governance practices and cultivates a culture rooted in transparency and preparedness.
An effective risk register goes beyond simply recording risks. It should be built on a solid framework that classifies risks into categories, applies clear assessment criteria such as likelihood and impact, and links each identified risk to mitigation strategies and internal controls. To ensure its continued relevance, the risk register must be dynamic, evolving with changes in internal processes and the external environment. Integrating the risk register within a broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework ensures alignment with strategic objectives, regulatory compliance, and improved institutional accountability.
Creating and maintaining a risk register is central to proactive risk management. It serves as a practical tool for identifying and monitoring risks throughout a project or across an organization. By documenting risks systematically and aligning them with mitigation strategies, teams are better prepared to anticipate disruptions and allocate resources strategically. This contributes to more informed decision-making and reduces uncertainty by offering a clear, up-to-date picture of potential threats and responses. Ultimately, the risk register helps strengthen resilience and improve the chances of achieving long-term objectives.
In today’s complex and fast-changing business environment, risk is no longer confined to isolated areas. Emerging challenges like cybersecurity threats, geopolitical unrest, regulatory shifts, and climate-related disruptions are deeply interconnected. Treating risks as standalone issues, especially through outdated spreadsheet-based registers, can leave organizations vulnerable to cascading impacts. To adapt, organizations must adopt modern risk management technologies, such as integrated Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platforms. These systems offer real-time tracking, risk interconnection mapping, and enhanced scenario analysis, transforming traditional registers into strategic decision-making tools. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this training to equip delegates with practical skills for developing modern, globally aligned risk registers that meet today’s organizational demands.
The course is designed to cover the following topics:

Foundations of Risk Management for Accountants
Structure and Components of an Effective Risk Register

Key elements of a comprehensive risk register, including risk description, categories, controls, and mitigation strategies.

Risk Identification Techniques and Stakeholder Engagement
Risk Classification and Significance

Sustainability Reporting Workshop 2025
2025-11-12 09:00 - 2026-02-28 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Reporting Workshop
Theme: Navigating the Future: Sustainability, Innovation and Governance in Accounting Practices
Date: 12th – 13th November 2025
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
Across the globe, the demand for transparent, decision-useful sustainability information continues to grow. Stakeholders from investors to regulators, customers to communities expect organizations to account for their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts. The evolution of global reporting frameworks such as the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and S2), the GRI Standards, and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) signifies the shift toward standardized, comparable, and reliable ESG reporting.
In recognition of this pivotal shift, ICPAK launched the Roadmap for adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and S2) in November 2024. This landmark initiative underscores ICPAK’s commitment to equipping Kenyan professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate this new era of corporate reporting and contribute to sustainable national development, a commitment that extends to influencing practices in both the private and public spheres.
Recent trends such as greenwashing, greenhushing, and a growing lack of stakeholder trust have prompted the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) to introduce the IESSA framework—new ethics and independence standards tailored for sustainability assurance engagements. Understanding these developments is crucial for accounting professionals who are increasingly being called upon to ensure the integrity of ESG disclosures.
This 2-day virtual symposium aims to provide professionals with relevant and practical insights into the key developments in sustainability reporting. Emphasis will be placed on how organizations can align with new standards, embed sustainability into governance structures, and avoid the pitfalls of unethical reporting practices. The symposium is structured to allow for expert presentations, real-world examples, and interactive Q&A sessions, ensuring participants gain both technical and strategic value.

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

International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) Seminar (Mandatory Training)

Date: 26th -27th November 2025
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
Kenya’s audit profession is experiencing profound transformation driven by regulatory reforms, heightened public expectations, increasingly complex business models, and rapid technological change. As markets evolve, stakeholders including investors, regulators, lenders, development partners, and the general public demand audits that are rigorous, credible, and value-driven. This heightened scrutiny places renewed emphasis on the auditor’s role as a guardian of financial integrity, requiring them to consistently deliver work that restores confidence in financial reporting.
International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) remain the cornerstone of audit quality. Yet, inspection findings by ICPAK’s Quality Assurance reviews, and global oversight bodies reveal persistent gaps in the consistent, effective, and judicious application of ISAs. While many practitioners understand ISAs conceptually, challenges often arise when translating this knowledge into robust audit procedures, high-quality documentation, and evidence-based conclusions—particularly in high-pressure or resource-constrained environments.
The ability of Kenyan auditors to uphold audit quality is further tested by emerging risks and the increasing complexity of financial reporting. Judgement-intensive areas—such as fair value measurement, impairment assessments, expected credit losses, revenue recognition, and fraud risk demand deep technical understanding and professional scepticism. Simultaneously, new reporting expectations, sector-specific regulatory requirements, and the acceleration of digital transformation are reshaping the audit landscape. These developments call for practitioners to move beyond mechanical compliance and adopt a dynamic, risk-informed, and forward-looking approach to applying ISAs.
Translating ISAs into high-impact audit practice therefore requires a strategic shift toward strengthening practical competence, methodological discipline, and professional judgement. Practitioners must not only interpret standards accurately but also operationalize them effectively across engagements of varying size, complexity, and risk profiles. By deepening practice-oriented mastery of ISAs, the profession will be better positioned to elevate audit quality, reduce recurring inspection findings, and reinforce public trust in Kenya’s financial reporting ecosystem.
In response to this need, ICPAK has designed a comprehensive two-day virtual symposium aimed at empowering assurance practitioners with the tools, insights, and confidence required to convert ISAs into tangible audit impact. The symposium will cover the following key areas:

Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) cohort 2
2025-11-27 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 2
Date: 27th 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

International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS)
2025-12-02 08:00 - 2026-02-28 11:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS)
Theme: INPAS and the Future of Non-Profit Reporting: Enhancing Trust, Accountability & Impact Transparency
Date:2nd December 2025
Time: 8:00 am to 11:00 am
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
The International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents one of the most significant modern developments in global financial reporting for the not-for-profit sector. As NPOs continue to play critical roles in advancing social, economic and human-development agendas, the need for consistent, comparable, transparent and decision-useful reporting has become more urgent. INPAS is intended to provide a globally coherent framework that enables non-profits to communicate performance, stewardship, accountability and impact using standardized accounting and disclosure principles. Its introduction seeks to resolve long-standing inconsistencies, especially where NPOs rely on improvised internal policies or apply for-profit standards that do not appropriately reflect mission-centric activities, donor restrictions, program delivery dynamics and resource deployment structures.
INPAS is not only a harmonization exercise; it provides clarity in key reporting areas such as recognition of resource inflows, the accounting treatment of donor-imposed conditions, attribution of expenditure to program portfolios, measurement of performance, narrative reporting and fund accountability. Unlike general-purpose accounting standards that were not written for the non-profit domain, INPAS responds directly to unique sector characteristics such as restricted funding, grant commitments, volunteer contributions, social-value outcomes and multi-stakeholder assurance needs. Non-profit reporting is therefore expected to transition away from inconsistent classification practices, unverifiable impact statements and fragmented accounting treatments that currently limit comparability and weaken sector confidence.
Global conversations around impact measurement, trust restoration, funding transparency, donor confidence and public accountability continue to intensify. Development partners, auditors, regulators, philanthropies and funding institutions are increasingly demanding standard-consistent reporting that demonstrates responsible resource use, clear alignment between programs and expenditure, and enhanced traceability of outcomes. INPAS responds to this shift by aligning reporting with global accountability expectations, improving comparability, elevating the quality of disclosures and strengthening intelligence for resource allocation decisions.
With rising societal expectations, governance reforms, anti-corruption agendas and ESG-linked donor priorities, non-profit reporting can no longer be confined to traditional financial statements. The sector’s trust proposition depends on visibility into how funds translate into services and how actions generate real change. INPAS will therefore influence how NPOs record, classify, measure, present and narrate the way value is created and delivered. This transition, from narrow financial reporting to integrated program-performance reporting, is highly strategic: reporting becomes a driver of confidence, not merely a compliance exercise.
It is in response to this evolving context, and ahead of INPAS implementation, that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is convening this training to equip preparers, reviewers and professionals with practical skills, contextual understanding and transition readiness, so that by the time formal adoption arrives, the sector will be informed, empowered and aligned for confident implementation.
Topics to be covered include:

Purpose, structure and foundations of INPAS
Financial reporting for NPOs under a principles-based global model
Classification, recognition and presentation of NPO-specific transactions
Accounting for restricted funds, grants, donations and conditional inflows
Program expenditure mapping, outcome reporting and value attribution
Narrative reporting and performance accountability frameworks
Transition considerations, practical challenges and implementation pathways
Technology enablement and digitization for INPAS-aligned reporting

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.

IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements Webinar 2025
Date: 16th December 2025
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
IFRS 11 establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. It defines how entities should account for their interest in arrangements where two or more parties jointly control the arrangement. Joint control is defined as the contractually agreed sharing of control. A binding contractual arrangement that results in two or more of parties having joint control over the investee’s relevant activities gives rise to a joint arrangement, and this is subsequently classified into one of two classifications, being either: – A joint operation, or– A joint venture. IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements into two types: joint operations and joint ventures.
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the joint controlling parties (‘joint operators’) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby joint controlling parties (joint venturers’) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
During this training we will seek to understand the standard and the requirements

Financial Reporting Seminar (Mandatory Training)
Date: 17th – 18th December 2025
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
(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.
