SUMMARY:Forensic\, Fraud and Internal Controls Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nForensic\, Fraud and Internal Controls Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Strengthening Integrity\, Accountability\, and Resilience Through Forensic Insights and Internal Controls\nDate: 19th-20th August 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nIn today’s fast-paced and complex professional environment\, the risk of fraud\, financial misstatement\, and governance failures has escalated across both public and private sectors. Organizations face operational\, financial\, and compliance challenges daily\, and even minor lapses in controls or ethical judgment can compromise organizational integrity\, reputation\, and stakeholder trust. For accounting\, audit\, finance\, and risk professionals\, proficiency in forensic accounting\, fraud detection\, and internal control frameworks is critical to ensuring organizational resilience. \nForensic insights and robust internal controls are no longer merely compliance tools—they are strategic enablers that help professionals detect irregularities\, prevent misconduct\, and maintain operational and financial accuracy. Professionals equipped with these skills can identify vulnerabilities in processes\, monitor critical systems\, and recommend interventions that strengthen governance structures. Modern digital technologies\, including data analytics\, AI-powered tools\, and continuous monitoring platforms\, have enhanced the ability to detect anomalies\, investigate suspicious transactions\, and prevent fraud before it escalates. \nA strong understanding of internal controls and forensic methodologies also promotes ethical decision-making and accountability. Professionals learn to navigate complex operational and financial landscapes\, maintain transparency\, and foster cultures that resist fraud and unethical behavior. Applied skills in transaction monitoring\, audit trails\, risk assessment\, whistleblower frameworks\, and investigative techniques ensure participants can contribute to an environment of trust\, resilience\, and accountability. \nThis two-day workshop blends practical exercises\, case studies\, and interactive discussions to provide participants with hands-on experience in forensic accounting\, fraud detection\, and internal controls. Delegates will explore real-world scenarios\, practice investigative and risk assessment techniques\, and discuss strategies for enhancing organizational integrity. The workshop also emphasizes collaboration\, ethical judgment\, and the application of technology in safeguarding financial and operational systems. \nIt is in recognition of the critical role of forensic accounting\, fraud awareness\, and internal controls in professional practice that the Institute has organized this workshop. The session is designed to enhance participants’ technical competence\, ethical awareness\, and practical skills to strengthen accountability\, governance\, and organizational resilience. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nFoundations of Forensic Accounting and Fraud Risk\n\n\nPrinciples\, purpose\, and scope of forensic accounting\nIdentifying common fraud schemes and red flags\nThe role of forensic accounting in organizational governance\n\n\nInternal Controls and Risk Mitigation\n\n\nDesigning\, assessing\, and strengthening internal control systems\nLinking controls to organizational objectives and compliance frameworks\nMonitoring mechanisms to prevent operational and financial breaches\n\n\nFraud Detection Techniques and Technology\n\n\nLeveraging data analytics\, ERP systems\, and continuous monitoring\nUsing AI and forensic software to detect irregularities\nCase studies demonstrating technology-driven fraud detection\n\n\nWhistleblowing\, Ethics\, and Accountability\n\n\nPrinciples and importance of whistleblower frameworks\nProtecting whistleblowers and promoting ethical decision-making\nLessons from real-life whistleblowing successes and failures\n\n\nApplied Forensic Case Studies\n\n\nScenario-based exercises to detect\, investigate\, and respond to fraud\nDeveloping mitigation strategies and risk response plans\nGroup discussions to reinforce practical learning\n\n\nStrengthening Governance and Networking with Forensic Awareness\n\n\nBoard and management roles in fraud risk oversight\nStrategies for promoting transparency\, accountability\, and ethical culture\nNetworking and peer collaboration to share experiences and practical insights\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:INTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CONFERENCE (INPAS)  (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CONFERENCE (INPAS) \nTheme: Excellence in Financial Reporting for the NPO Sector through Fortified Transparency & Accountability\nDate: 19th-21st August 2026 \nTime: 9:00 am to 03.30pm \nDelivery Mode: Virtual  \nOVERVIEW \nINPAS\, or the International Non-Profit Accounting Standard\, is the world’s first globally applicable accounting standard developed specifically for non-profit organizations (NPOs). Launched in October 2025 by the IFR4NPO Project (now under INPRF)\, it was created through a six-year collaborative effort led by Humentum and CIPFA\, involving stakeholders from dozens of countries. Unlike traditional standards designed for for-profit entities\, INPAS is a standalone\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique realities of charities\, NGOs\, foundations\, and other nonprofits. It streamlines the preparation of annual audited financial statements and grant reports\, addressing long-standing issues like fragmented reporting requirements and the complexities of restricted funding. \nOne of the primary objectives of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in nonprofit finances worldwide. It establishes a consistent foundation for financial reporting that improves the quality and comparability of NPO statements. By providing decision-useful information\, it balances the needs of preparers (reducing administrative burden) with those of donors\, regulators\, and other stakeholders who rely on clear\, reliable data for informed decision-making. This global consistency helps NPOs operating across borders avoid the inefficiency of complying with multiple\, often conflicting national or donor-specific rules. \nINPAS places strong emphasis on the proper recognition and presentation of grants and donations\, distinguishing clearly between restricted and unrestricted funds. It offers detailed guidance on accrual accounting practices suited to nonprofits\, such as when to recognize income from multi-year grants or in-kind contributions. Additionally\, it promotes integrated narrative reporting that goes beyond numbers to cover organizational activities\, governance\, risks\, impact\, and sustainability—reflecting that nonprofit success is measured by mission outcomes as much as financial metrics. \nThe standard was designed to reduce reporting burdens while raising the bar for quality. It includes harmonized grant reporting practices (supported by a dedicated Practice Guide) that allow project-level reports to reconcile easily with whole-of-entity financial statements. This helps minimize duplicative efforts when dealing with multiple funders\, freeing up resources for programmatic work rather than excessive compliance. Many organizations\, especially smaller ones\, stand to benefit from its simplified yet robust structure compared to adapting IFRS or other commercial standards. \nAdoption of INPAS is gaining momentum\, with early adoption encouraged. It is freely available for download from the official INPRF website\, along with implementation guides. As more NPOs and regulators embrace it\, the standard is expected to elevate sector credibility\, attract more funding by building donor confidence\, and foster greater international collaboration in the nonprofit space. \nOverall\, INPAS represents a transformative step for the nonprofit sector\, filling a critical gap that existed for decades. By providing a dedicated\, practical\, and internationally recognized framework\, it empowers organizations to focus more on their missions while maintaining high standards of financial stewardship and accountability. Its development “by the sector\, for the sector” ensures relevance and usability across diverse contexts\, from large international NGOs to local community groups. It is with this in mind that ICPAK has organized the 3 days conference to focus on the following areas: \n\nINPAS Framework & Core Principles\nThe New Regulatory Environment – Updates from PBORA\nFund Accounting & Revenue Recognition– Practical Sessions\nRestricted vs. Unrestricted Funds\nGrants and Donations\nPledges in – kind and Gifts\nExpense Classification & Financial Statements \nGrant Management & Narrative Reporting \nGovernance\, Ethics & Technology in the NPO Sector\nTax Risk Management for the NPO Sector – recent caselaw\, lessons and way forward\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis conference  will be useful to all professional Accountants with specific focus on NGOs. \n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the conference. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\n\nCharges will cater stationery\, daytime meals\, learning and giveaway materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nONLINE BOOKING \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking \nWe call on interested participants to note that booking for the event is available online at www.icpak.com  and will close two hours before the training session. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.
