SUMMARY:Sustainability Reporting Course (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Course (virtual option)\nTheme: Advancing Sustainability Reporting: From Compliance to Value Creation\nDate: 8th -9th October  2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nHow can organizations effectively respond to growing stakeholder expectations for transparent\, reliable\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures while meeting emerging global reporting requirements? \nSustainability reporting has rapidly evolved from a voluntary corporate responsibility exercise into a critical component of corporate governance\, risk management\, and strategic decision-making. Investors\, regulators\, lenders\, customers\, and other stakeholders increasingly require organizations to disclose how sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect their business model\, strategy\, financial performance\, and long-term value creation. \nThe global sustainability reporting landscape has undergone significant transformation following the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the issuance of IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. These standards establish a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures and are increasingly influencing reporting expectations across jurisdictions\, industries\, and capital markets. \nOrganizations are now expected to go beyond broad sustainability narratives by demonstrating strong governance\, effective risk management\, measurable performance\, and credible climate-related disclosures. This includes identifying\, measuring\, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, climate-related risks and opportunities\, sustainability metrics\, and transition plans. As a result\, organizations must strengthen their reporting capabilities\, data management processes\, internal controls\, and readiness for assurance. \nProfessional accountants are at the centre of this transformation. Their expertise in reporting\, governance\, assurance\, internal controls\, performance measurement\, and risk management positions them to play a critical role in the implementation of sustainability reporting frameworks and standards. As organizations increasingly integrate sustainability considerations into business strategy and decision-making\, accountants must develop the practical competencies required to prepare\, review\, and support sustainability disclosures. \nIn line with its mandate to promote high standards of professional competence and support the accountancy profession\, ICPAK has organized this course to equip participants with practical knowledge and implementation skills in sustainability reporting. The training will provide guidance on applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 requirements\, conducting materiality assessments\, measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions\, developing sustainability disclosures\, establishing sustainability metrics and targets\, strengthening sustainability data governance\, and preparing organizations for sustainability assurance requirements. \nKey Topics     \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding and Implementing IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards\n·         Overview of the ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Framework \n·         IFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information \n·         IFRS S2 – Climate-related Disclosures \n·         Sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Integration of sustainability reporting with financial reporting \n·         Governance responsibilities for sustainability reporting \n \n\n\nB.   Materiality Assessment and Sustainability Risk Identification\n·         Principles of sustainability materiality assessment \n·         Identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Stakeholder engagement and value chain considerations \n·         Risk and opportunity assessment methodologies \n·         Documentation and evidence requirements \n·         Integrating sustainability considerations into enterprise risk management \n \n\n\nC.   Climate Reporting and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions\n·         Climate-related disclosure requirements under IFRS S2 \n·         Understanding greenhouse gas emissions \n·         Scope 1 emissions \n·         Scope 2 emissions \n·         Scope 3 emissions \n·         GHG Protocol principles and reporting considerations \n·         Measuring\, calculating\, and reporting GHG emissions \n·         Common implementation challenges and practical solutions\n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Sustainability Metrics\, Targets\, and Data Management\n·         Sustainability metrics and performance indicators \n·         Climate-related metrics and targets \n·         Sustainability data collection and management systems \n·         Internal controls over sustainability information \n·         Data governance and data quality management \n·         Monitoring and evaluating sustainability performance\n\n\nE.     Developing Sustainability Disclosures and Reports\n·         Governance disclosures \n·         Strategy disclosures \n·         Risk management disclosures \n·         Metrics and targets disclosures \n·         Preparing IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 aligned sustainability reports \n·         Common reporting challenges and how to address them \n·         Practical case studies and reporting exercises \n \n\n\nF.   Sustainability Assurance and Emerging Developments\n·         Sustainability assurance landscape \n·         Limited versus reasonable assurance \n·         Internal audit and sustainability reporting \n·         Greenwashing risks and reporting integrity \n·         Emerging sustainability reporting trends \n·         Future developments in sustainability disclosures and regulation \n \n\n\n\n Target 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. \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:Risk Registers Development course (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRisk Register Development Course (Virtual option)\nTheme: From Identification to Action: A Practical Approach to Risk Register Development and Governance\nDate: 15th – 16th October 2026\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOverview \nOrganizations today operate in an increasingly dynamic and uncertain environment characterized by rapid technological advancement\, evolving regulatory requirements\, cybersecurity threats\, economic volatility\, environmental and social considerations\, and changing stakeholder expectations. These developments have elevated the importance of effective risk management as a critical component of good governance\, organizational resilience\, and sustainable performance. \nAt the heart of an effective risk management framework is the risk register\, a structured tool that enables organizations to identify\, assess\, prioritize\, monitor\, and respond to risks that may affect the achievement of strategic and operational objectives. A well-developed risk register provides management and oversight bodies with a clear view of the organization’s risk landscape\, promotes accountability through the assignment of risk ownership\, supports informed decision-making\, and strengthens organizational resilience. \nModern organizations increasingly recognize risk registers as more than compliance documents. When properly developed and maintained\, risk registers become strategic management tools that facilitate proactive risk identification\, assessment of risk significance\, evaluation of control effectiveness\, prioritization of key risks\, and monitoring of mitigation actions. Integration of risk registers within broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks further strengthens alignment between risk management activities\, organizational strategy\, performance objectives\, and risk appetite. \nDeveloping an effective risk register requires a systematic process that begins with risk identification and progresses through risk classification\, assessment\, prioritization\, response planning\, assignment of ownership\, monitoring\, reporting\, and periodic review. Organizations often face challenges in developing risk registers that accurately capture significant risks\, reflect changing business conditions\, and support informed decision-making. Consequently\, professionals responsible for governance\, finance\, audit\, compliance\, and risk management require practical skills to develop\, maintain\, and utilize risk registers as effective management and governance tools. \nProfessional accountants play a critical role in governance\, internal control\, risk management\, and organizational accountability. Their involvement in strategic planning\, financial stewardship\, compliance monitoring\, and assurance activities places them in a unique position to contribute to effective risk identification\, assessment\, monitoring\, and reporting processes. Global frameworks such as ISO 31000 and COSO Enterprise Risk Management Framework emphasize the importance of embedding risk-aware thinking throughout organizations to support sustainable value creation and preservation. \nIn line with its mandate to develop\, support\, and regulate the accountancy profession while promoting high standards of governance and professional excellence\, ICPAK has organized this practical course to equip participants with the knowledge\, tools\, templates\, and hands-on skills required to develop and maintain effective risk registers. Through practical exercises\, case studies\, and guided workshops\, participants will be taken through the complete risk register development process—from risk identification and assessment to mitigation planning\, monitoring\, reporting\, and continuous improvement. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics:\n1.
