SUMMARY:International Non-Profit Accounting Standard -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 Standard (INPAS) (virtual option)\nTheme:\nDate: 1st -2nd October 2026\nTime: 9:00 am to 03.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nNon-Profit Organizations (NPOs)\, Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs)\, and civil society entities play a critical role in driving socio-economic development\, humanitarian response\, and community empowerment across Kenya and the broader East African region. Managing substantial financial resources from international donors\, local grantors\, and public contributions\, these organizations operate under heightened expectations for financial stewardship\, transparency\, and accountability. \nDespite their economic weight and social impact\, the non-profit sector has historically lacked a single\, globally recognized financial reporting framework tailored specifically to its non-commercial realities. Conventional accounting frameworks—such as IFRS for commercial enterprises or IPSAS for public sector institutions—do not fully address specialized NPO transactions. Key accounting challenges faced by practitioners include the treatment of restricted vs. unrestricted donor contributions\, multi-currency grant management\, overhead cost allocations\, volunteer services\, and non-reciprocal transfers. \nTo address these structural reporting gaps\, international initiatives have driven the adoption of standardized non-profit guidance—widely referenced as the International Non-Profit Accounting Guidance (INPAG/INPAS) framework. This framework introduces consistent accounting principles designed to harmonize financial disclosures\, eliminate donor reporting fragmentation\, and build long-term institutional credibility. \nTo support finance practitioners in implementing these evolving standards\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this two-day intensive workshop at the CPA Center. The course will provide finance directors\, grants managers\, accountants\, and auditors with practical tools to navigate INPAG/INPAS mechanics\, strengthen internal controls\, avoid donor audit disallowances\, and ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements such as the PBO framework in Kenya. \nTopics \n\nOverview & Core Foundations of INPAS / Non-Profit Reporting\n\n\nPurpose\, scope\, and objectives of international non-profit reporting standards.\nKey differences between commercial financial reporting (IFRS)\, public sector reporting (IPSAS)\, and non-profit guidance (INPAG/INPAS).\nFundamental concepts: Accounting for non-reciprocal transfers\, donor-imposed restrictions\, and fund accounting mechanics.\n\n\nRevenue Recognition & Grant Accounting\n\n\nRecognition and measurement of conditional vs. unconditional donor contributions.\nAccounting treatment for multi-currency donor projects and foreign exchange fluctuation management.\nValuation and disclosure of in-kind contributions\, donated services\, and volunteer time.\n\n\nFinancial Statement Presentation & Disclosures in NPOs\n\n\nStructure and components of NPO financial statements (Statement of Financial Position\, Performance\, and Cash Flows).\nPrinciples of fund accounting: Segregation of restricted\, temporarily restricted\, and unrestricted funds.\nEnhanced disclosure requirements for donor commitments\, grant balances\, and administrative vs. program expense ratios.\n\n\nGrant Compliance\, Cost Allocation & Disallowed Costs\n\n\nMethodologies for direct and indirect cost allocations across multiple donor programs.\nManaging grant terms\, time-bound commitments\, and compliance tracking.\nIdentifying and mitigating risks that lead to disallowed costs in donor audits.\n\n\nInternal Controls\, Risk Management & Audit Preparedness\n\n\nDesigning robust internal control frameworks tailored to decentralized field operations and donor project execution.\nFraud prevention\, dual-authorization protocols\, and procurement compliance in donor-funded projects.\nPreparing for external donor audits\, statutory audits\, and specialized compliance reviews.\n\n\nStatutory\, Tax & Regulatory Compliance for NPOs in Kenya\n\n\nNavigating the regulatory landscape for NGOs and Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs) in Kenya.\nTax obligations\, statutory exemptions\, withholding tax considerations\, and PAYE for grant-funded personnel.\nStatutory reporting and annual returns filing requirements for civil society organizations.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nMeasuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical (virtual option)\nDate: 17th – 18th September 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThere is increased pressure from regulators\, investors\, financiers\, and other stakeholders for organizations across all sectors to measure\, manage\, and transparently report their GHG emissions. With increasing mainstreaming of climate-related disclosures\, the need for professionals who can apply the GHG accounting principles practically\, as set out in recognized global frameworks\, cannot be over-emphasized. This practical course will focus on the development of hands-on capacity to measure\, calculate\, document\, and report GHG emissions for Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3. The course will bridge the gap between theory and practice by focusing on real-life organizational scenarios\, sector-specific emission sources\, and practical calculations that align with international best practice. \nWith the gradual evolution of sustainability reporting\, it is increasingly expected of entities to report their carbon footprint in a reliable\, consistent\, and auditable manner. Yet\, for many organizations\, technical challenges persist regarding source identification for emissions\, collection of quality data on activities\, methods for selecting the most appropriate emission factors\, and completeness and accuracy concerns in disclosures. This course responds to the practical competencies gap by equipping participants with the necessary competencies to operationalize GHG measurement\, enhance internal data systems\, support assurance processes\, and better ensure the credibility of climate-related information presented within corporate reports. \nThe course will enhance the practical ability of participants to identify relevant emission sources\, apply standardized calculation methodologies\, manage data collection processes\, and prepare reliable GHG emissions reports. It seeks to build competence in distinguishing between direct and indirect emissions\, developing organizational and operational boundaries\, and embedding internal controls that support high-quality environmental data. Participants will also gain an appreciation of how robust GHG reporting supports risk management\, regulatory compliance\, strategic planning\, and stakeholder confidence. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \nIntroduction to GHG Accounting Frameworks \n\nOverview of internationally accepted GHG accounting principles\nUnderstanding organizational and operational boundaries\nAlignment with global climate disclosure expectations\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions \n\nIdentifying direct emission sources (fuel combustion\, company vehicles\, industrial processes)\nActivity data collection and quality checks\nHands-on calculations using emission factors\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 2 Emissions \n\nAccounting for purchased electricity\, steam\, heating\, and cooling\nMarket-based versus location-based methods\nElectricity data interpretation and practical calculation exercises\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 3 Emissions \n\nMapping value chain emission sources\nPrioritization of material Scope 3 categories\nPractical approaches to data estimation and supplier engagement\n\nGHG Data Management and Internal Controls \n\nDesigning data collection templates and control processes\nManaging data gaps\, assumptions\, and estimations\nDocumentation and audit trail requirements\n\nPreparation of GHG Emissions Reports \n\nStructuring clear and credible GHG disclosures\nConsistency with financial and sustainability reporting\nCommon errors and how to avoid them\n\nVerification and Assurance Readiness \n\nPreparing GHG data for independent verification\nUnderstanding assurance expectations and evidence requirements\nResponding to review findings and improving reporting quality\n\nLinking GHG Measurement to Strategy and Performance \n\nUsing emissions data to inform risk management and decision-making\nSetting reduction targets and monitoring progress\nIntegrating GHG data into broader ESG and sustainability frameworks\n\n Target Audience \n The course is intended for accountants\, auditors\, sustainability and ESG professionals\, internal control and risk management practitioners\, finance and operations managers\, environmental and health and safety officers\, compliance officers\, and consultants who are engaged in sustainability reporting or climate-related risk management. It will also be useful to public sector professionals\, regulators\, and development practitioners who support environmental accountability and the implementation of climate policy. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the course. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:Transition to IPSAS Accrual course 2026 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTransition to IPSAS Accrual course\nTheme: Transition to IPSAS Accrual: Practical Guidance for Successful Implementation\nDate: 3rd -4th September 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nAcross the globe\, governments are increasingly transitioning from cash-based and modified cash accounting frameworks to accrual-based financial reporting aligned with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This shift is widely recognized as a cornerstone of modern public financial management (PFM) reform\, enabling governments to produce more transparent\, comprehensive\, and decision-useful financial information. \nIn Kenya and many other jurisdictions\, the transition to IPSAS Accrual represents a major transformation in the way public sector entities recognize\, measure\, and report financial transactions. Under the accrual framework\, entities must record not only cash movements but also assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, expenses\, and commitments\, thereby providing a more complete picture of financial performance and financial position. \nHowever\, transitioning to IPSAS Accrual is a complex institutional reform that goes far beyond technical accounting changes. It requires significant adjustments in policies\, systems\, processes\, data management\, asset registers\, staff capacity\, and governance frameworks. Public sector entities must undertake detailed preparatory work\, including identifying assets and liabilities\, developing opening balances\, aligning financial management systems such as IFMIS\, and strengthening internal controls and documentation practices. \nInternational experience demonstrates that entities often encounter significant challenges during the transition phase. These may include: \n\nDifficulties in compiling reliable opening balances\nLimited asset registers and incomplete asset verification\nLack of historical valuation data\nWeak integration between accounting policies and operational processes\nLimited familiarity with key IPSAS standards such as PPE\, revenue from non-exchange transactions\, provisions\, leases\, and financial instruments\nSystem limitations in capturing accrual-based transactions\nCapacity gaps among preparers and financial managers\n\nWithout adequate preparation\, these challenges can result in delays\, inconsistencies\, and significant audit issues during the first accrual reporting cycle. \nThis workshop is therefore designed as a practical capacity-building program to support entities preparing for the transition to IPSAS Accrual. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical aspects of IPSAS\, the training emphasizes practical implementation strategies\, transition planning\, opening balance preparation\, and system readiness. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of: \n\nThe IPSAS Accrual transition roadmap\nKey technical standards affecting transition\nPractical steps for preparing opening balances\nAsset identification and valuation processes\nSystem and data requirements for accrual reporting\nInstitutional arrangements needed to support successful implementation\n\nBy the end of the training\, participants will be better equipped to plan\, manage\, and execute the transition to IPSAS Accrual\, thereby strengthening the credibility\, transparency\, and usefulness of public sector financial reporting. \nTopics to be Covered \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\nDay 1\nIntroduction to IPSAS Accrual and the Transition Framework\nUnderstanding the shift from cash-based to accrual-based public sector accounting\n·         Global trends in public sector financial reporting reforms \n·         Rationale for adopting IPSAS Accrual \n·          Key differences between cash\, modified cash\, and accrual accounting \n·         Benefits of accrual accounting for transparency and accountability\n\n\n  \n  \n \nPlanning and Managing the IPSAS Transition\nDeveloping a structured roadmap for successful implementation\n·         Developing an IPSAS transition strategy \n·          Institutional governance and leadership roles \n·          Roles of finance teams\, management\, auditors\, and oversight bodies \n·          Change management and stakeholder coordination \n·          Risk management during transition\n\n\n\nPreparation of Opening Balances\nEstablishing reliable opening balances under IPSAS Accrual\n·          Importance of opening balances in IPSAS transition \n·         Identification and recognition of assets and liabilities \n·         Use of transitional provisions and exemptions \n·          Documentation and supporting evidence for audit purposes \n·          Common challenges in opening balance preparation\n\n\nDay 2\nAsset Recognition and Measurement under IPSAS\nAccounting for public sector assets during transition\n·         Property\, Plant and Equipment (IPSAS 45) \n·          Intangible Assets (IPSAS 31) \n·          Heritage and infrastructure assets \n·          Asset verification and asset register development \n·          Valuation challenges and practical approaches\n\n\n\nRevenue\, Liabilities and Key Accounting Areas\nRecognition and measurement of major transactions under accrual accounting\n·         Revenue from non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 47) \n·          Grants\, transfers\, and donor-funded projects \n·          Provisions and contingent liabilities (IPSAS 19) \n·         Recognition of receivables and payables \n·         Commitments and obligations\n\n\n\nSystems Readiness and Preparing IPSAS Accrual Financial Statements\nStrengthening systems and preparing the first accrual financial statements\n·         Aligning financial management systems (IFMIS) to IPSAS Accrual \n·         Chart of Accounts and data requirements \n·          Structure of IPSAS financial statements \n·          Disclosure requirements and supporting schedules \n·         Common transition pitfalls and practical solutions\n\n\n\n Target Audience \n The course to all professionals in all spheres. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the course. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

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.

SUMMARY:Financial Services Sector Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nFinancial Services Sector Conference\nDate: 12th – 13th August 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nThe financial services sector continues to experience rapid transformation driven by regulatory reforms\, technological innovation and evolving market expectations. As financial institutions adapt to new prudential guidelines\, AML/CFT requirements\, and data protection laws\, professionals must remain informed of the latest compliance developments shaping the industry. Strengthening regulatory understanding is essential for ensuring stability\, enhancing transparency and supporting public trust in the financial ecosystem. \nFinancial reporting within the financial services sector has also grown increasingly complex with the expanded application of accounting and sustainability-related reporting standards. These changes require accountants and auditors to navigate advanced measurement models\, disclosure obligations\, and assurance considerations unique to banks\, insurers and capital market entities. The conference will explore practical challenges in technical financial reporting aspects and audit quality for regulated institutions to enhance compliance and consistency in financial reporting. \nAt the same time\, the sector faces heightened expectations around risk management and corporate governance. Emerging risks such as cyber threats\, fraud\, operational weaknesses and market volatility demand robust enterprise risk management frameworks and strengthened governance structures. The conference will highlight governance trends\, board oversight responsibilities\, internal control effectiveness and the evolving risk landscape that institutions must navigate in a digital economy. \nThe role of technology\, fintech\, sustainability and taxation continue to reshape sector priorities. Digital banking\, mobile money\, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity resilience are transforming service delivery and regulatory supervision.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop\nTheme: The Future of Sustainability Assurance – Enhancing Transparency\, Accountability\, and Trust\nDate: 16th-17th July 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: On line \nOverview \nAs global expectations for transparency and accountability continue to rise\, organizations are increasingly required to demonstrate credible performance on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) matters. Sustainability assurance has therefore become essential in strengthening stakeholder confidence by enhancing the reliability and quality of sustainability-related disclosures. With the rapid adoption of sustainability reporting frameworks and the alignment of financial and non-financial information\, professionals must deepen their understanding of the evolving assurance landscape. \nThe shift toward standardized sustainability reporting\, especially with the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, alongside established frameworks such as GRI\, SASB and local regulatory requirements\, has created a need for consistent application and interpretation. These frameworks provide the structure for identifying material ESG issues\, defining reporting boundaries and ensuring comparability across organizations and industries. \nClimate-related disclosures have emerged as integral to sustainability reporting. Accordingly\, understanding Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions become increasingly important as an entity measures and reports on its environmental impact. Accurate measurement and disclosure of emissions are increasingly linked to both financial reporting and enterprise risk management-factors that make this an area of significant focus during sustainability assurance engagements. \nHigh-quality ESG assurance requires quality internal controls\, reliable data systems\, and robust verification procedures. Practitioners should keep in mind the special challenges that arise when assessing ESG risks\, testing control environments\, and gathering evidence during limited or reasonable assurance engagements\, which are different from those encountered in traditional financial audits. The effective collection of data\, proper structuring of documentation\, and rigorous processes for verification are very important for credible sustainability reporting to the expectations of regulators and investors and wider stakeholders. \nThe workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following: \nOverview of Sustainability Assurance \n\nThe purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.\nThe role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.\nHow sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.\nKey drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance\n\n Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks \n\nGlobal frameworks: GRI\, SASB\, ISSB\, IFRS S1 & S2.\nLocal sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.\nAlignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.\nEmerging disclosure requirements for climate\, social\, and governance metrics.\n\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting \n\nUnderstanding Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions.\nRelevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.\nGHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).\nTransition risks\, climate scenarios\, and their impact on disclosures.\n\nSustainability Assurance Engagements \n\nUnpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000\nTypes of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.\nKey procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.\nIndependence\, ethical requirements\, and assurance provider qualifications.\nCommon challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.\n\nData Collection\, Verification\, and Reporting \n\nBest practices for ESG data collection and quality control.\nVerification techniques and third-party assurance.\nData governance\, documentation\, and internal record-keeping standards.\nUse of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.\n\nESG Risk Management and Internal Controls \n\nIntegrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.\nEnsuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.\nDesigning internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.\nMonitoring\, evaluation\, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThe workshop will be beneficial to all accounting and finance professionals\, auditors\, financial analysts\, and corporate management\, particularly those involved in financial reporting\, sustainability reporting\, and regulatory compliance within organizations. \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. \nNB: This is a hybrid event for physical option click here  \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

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:Budget Review and Analysis Seminar (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nBudget Review & Analysis Seminar (virtual option)\nDate: 12th June 2026\nTime: 09.00-11.30am\nVenue: Zoom \nOverview \nThe national budget serves as a strategic blueprint outlining the Government’s revenue projections and expenditure plans for the fiscal year\, and remains a critical instrument for economic management\, resource allocation\, and policy prioritization. The FY2025/26 Budget has been formulated against a backdrop of persistent domestic and global economic challenges\, including inflationary pressures\, elevated debt-servicing costs\, and constrained fiscal space\, alongside emerging macroeconomic opportunities. \nThe 2026/27 budget is structured around key economic and social sectors that drive national development\, with allocations reflecting government priorities under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). \nThe National Treasury has proposed Kshs 4.78 trillion budget for FY 2026/27\, equivalent to 23% of GDP. This comprises recurrent expenditure of Kshs. 3\,538.7 billion\, development expenditure of Kshs. 749.0 billion and transfers to county governments of 495.7 Billion. \nAccording to the Budget Policy Statement 2026\, the fiscal deficit including grants is expected to reach Kshs 1\,115.8 billion (5.3% of GDP) in FY 2026/27\, from the projected deficit of KSh 1\,140.7 billion (6.0% of GDP) in FY 2025/26. This will be financed through net external borrowing amounting to KSh 225.5 billion (1.1% of GDP) and net domestic financing of KSh 890.4 billion (4.2% of GDP). \nThe proposed expenditure is distributed across three broad segments of government spending\, with the national government sector (Executive\, Parliament and Judiciary) receiving Kshs 2.817 trillion. Education remains the largest sectoral allocation\, increasing from Kshs. 754.9 billion in 2025/26 to Kshs.  780 billion in 2026/27\, representing a moderate 4%. Infrastructure development\, particularly through the Ministry of Roads and Transport\, follows closely with an allocation of KSh 312 billion. This highlights sustained investment in connectivity and logistics as key enablers of economic growth. \nThe health sector also records a significant expansion\, with the State Department for Medical Services increasing from KSh 105.95 billion in 2025/26 to KSh 132.97 billion in 2026/27\, representing a 25.5% increase. This growth is largely driven by expanded investments in national referral services\, health products and technologies\, and social protection in health. \nRecent economic data indicates that Kenya’s economy expanded by 4.9% year-on-year in Q3 2025\, driven largely by resilience in the agriculture and construction sectors. This growth has been achieved despite significant public debt repayment obligations and ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts. \nNotwithstanding the growth momentum\, the economy continues to face structural challenges\, including underperforming revenue collection\, high public debt levels\, and persistent cost-of-living pressures. Revenue targets have\, in recent years\, fallen short of projections\, while interest payments continue to consume an increasing share of tax revenues—highlighting ongoing public finance management constraints. \nIt is against this evolving economic landscape that ICPAK convenes the Budget Review & Analysis Seminar – Current State of Affairs\, aimed at providing a timely and in-depth analysis of the country’s fiscal position\, budget implementation realities\, and the implications of recent policy and legislative changes on taxation\, public financial management\, and overall economic performance. \nThe seminar will address the following key thematic areas: \n\nMacroeconomic Performance & Outlook: Economic growth\, inflation trends\, employment\, and sectoral performance.\nRevenue Mobilization & Tax Policy Changes: Recent developments in tax policy\, administration\, and compliance strategies.\nFiscal Framework\, Budget highlights and Public Expenditure Priorities: Analysis of budgetary allocations to key sectors\, including education\, health\, infrastructure\, counties\, and social protection.\nPublic Debt Dynamics & Fiscal Sustainability: Trends in debt servicing\, debt-to-GDP ratio\, and emerging fiscal risks.\nBudget Implementation Challenges: Revenue underperformance\, execution bottlenecks\, pending bills\, accountability and governance issues.\nImplications for Professionals & Businesses: Strategic insights for accountants\, tax practitioners\, CFOs\, and financial managers.\nFuture Budget & Policy Outlook: Emerging trends and possible scenarios for FY2026/27 and beyond.\n\nTarget Audience \nAudit and tax practitioners\, Personnel handling tax issues in organizations\, Representatives from KRA\, Taxpayers’ association(s)\, Accountants\, Finance Professionals\, Auditors\, Chief Finance officers\, Academia. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 5 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \n\n\n\nCategory\nPhysical\nVirtual\n\n\nAssociates\n Kes.5\,500.00 – per delegate\nKes. 5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\nMembers\n  Kes.5\,500.00 – per delegate\n Kes. 5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\nNon-members\n  Kes.5\,500.00 per delegate\n Kes.5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\n\nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking 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 the National Industrial Training Authority.
