SUMMARY:Income Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar -mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIncome Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar-Mandatory Training\nDate: 8th – 9th April 2026\nTime: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nMode of Delivery: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe ever-changing economic environment\, bearing on the Government’s imperatives for revenue\, coupled with changes in the global tax environment and advances in the use of technology to administer taxes\, continues to redefine the taxation environment in Kenya. The recently enacted amendments to income tax and indirect tax laws have greatly impacted the way business\, individuals\, and professionals perform their financial reporting and compliance obligations. As the Kenyan government increases its tempo in implementing tax reforms to raise revenue mobilization\, especially from domestic sources\, taxpayers are increasingly required to demonstrate unprecedented levels of tax literacy\, compliance\, and moral obligation. In this respect\, targeted capacity building for accounting and finance professionals is increasingly warranted to equip them with updated knowledge and practical insights into the changing tax framework. \nICPAK intends to hold a seminar that brings together tax practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, policymakers\, and industry players to discuss emerging developments in income and indirect taxes. The forum will enable review of recent changes in legislation\, administrative guidelines\, judicial decisions\, and best practices on how to plan for and comply with taxes. It shall also provide participants with an opportunity to discuss with experts’ practical challenges that affect business pertaining to\, among other areas\, tax risk management\, tax audits\, digital taxation\, cross-border taxation challenges\, and the shifting landscape of tax policy relative to business sustainability and economic growth. \nOne key focus will be the recent changes in tax legislation. The seminar will also dig into the complex topic of transfer pricing\, focusing on the impact of these regulations on multinational corporations and how businesses can align their policies with international guidelines such as the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) framework. Participants will receive practical guidance on managing transfer pricing risks and ensuring compliance with global standards. \nIn addition to income tax\, the seminar will cover key issues in indirect taxes\, starting with the evolving landscape of Value Added Tax (VAT). The session will address the latest updates in VAT regulations\, compliance and opportunities for businesses to manage VAT refunds and audits effectively. Further discussions will cover the administration of excise taxes\, particularly in light of emerging trends in digital goods and services\, as well as the broader impact of excise duties on business profitability. \nThis seminar will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of income and indirect taxes while ensuring compliance and identifying tax planning opportunities. \nTarget Audience \nThis virtual symposium will be useful to all professional Accountants and other professionals interested in taxation.    \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:Technical competency development forum for associate members only 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTechnical competency development forum for associate members Only 2026\nTheme: Strengthening Technical Excellence and Professional Competence in a Digitally Evolving Accounting Landscape\nDate: 25th – 26th February 2026\nTime: 9.00am – 4.00pm\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nThe accountancy profession remains central to economic growth\, organizational efficiency\, and financial accountability. Accountants uphold transparency\, regulatory compliance\, and ethical conduct\, thereby protecting the public interest and reinforcing trust in financial systems. As business environments become more complex and technology rapidly evolves\, the profession has expanded beyond traditional bookkeeping into areas such as auditing\, taxation\, financial management\, advisory services\, and data analytics firmly positioning accountants as strategic partners in driving organizational success. \nToday\, the profession is undergoing significant transformation due to shifting accounting standards\, regulatory reforms\, and the global push for enhanced sustainability reporting. New standards such as IFRS 17\, IFRS 18\, and Sustainability Reporting S1 & S2 guidelines require professionals to maintain strong technical competence and adaptability within principles-based frameworks. Ethical standards remain at the core of practice\, with IFAC emphasizing integrity\, independence\, and objectivity as non-negotiable values. At the same time\, accountants must navigate an increasingly digital environment where cybersecurity awareness\, data privacy obligations\, and AML/CFT compliance form a critical part of their responsibilities. \nDigital transformation has fundamentally reshaped how accountants work. Tools powered by artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, data analytics\, blockchain\, and cloud-based platforms have automated routine processes and elevated the accountant’s role from transaction recorder to strategic advisor. Modern professionals must be proficient in technologies such as Power BI\, RPA\, and cloud-based ERPs to generate insights\, strengthen internal controls\, enhance forecasting\, and support risk management. These digital capabilities allow accountants to provide deeper business intelligence and contribute to forward-looking decision-making. \nBeyond technical expertise\, the future of the profession also relies heavily on strong communication and interpersonal skills. The ability to present complex financial information clearly\, influence stakeholders\, lead teams\, and support organizational change initiatives is increasingly essential. Accountants who combine technical excellence with leadership\, emotional intelligence\, and strategic thinking stand out in today’s competitive landscape. This evolving environment calls for continuous learning\, ensuring that new entrants and associate members remain adaptable\, informed\, and equipped with future-ready skills that enhance the value and credibility of the finance function. \nKey Topics for Discussion \n\nOverview of the Recent Development in Accounting Standards Affecting the Accounting Profession\nDigital Tools for Accountants – (Data Analytics\, Block Chain\, Cloud Based Audit Tools\, Machine Learning\, Power BI)\nCybersecurity Awareness for Accountant Professionals – (Data protection\, cyber threats and fraud prevention)\nAML & CFT (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing Of Terrorism)\nProfessional Conduct and Regulatory Compliance\n\n\nICPAK Code of ethics for accountants\nHandling ethical dilemmas and maintaining professional integrity\n\n\nThe Power of Public Speaking\nSoft skills – communication\, professional presence\, adaptability\, problem-solving\nTransitioning from Associate to full member: Key steps to assist in the process\nOverview of ICPAK Membership requirements and how to fulfil good standing status\n\nTarget Audience \nThe program is open to ICPAK Associate Members only. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs): \nUpon successful attendance of all sessions\, associate members will earn 10 Structured CPD Hours. \nFinancial Commitment: \nThe mentorship program is free for ICPAK Associate Members. \nOnline Booking: \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the webinar is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking We call on workshop participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com and will close one day before the training session.

SUMMARY:The 34th Economic Symposium (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 34th ECONOMIC SYMPOSIUM\nTheme: Productivity to Prosperity: Re-shaping Key Sectors for a Future-Ready Economy \nDate: 18th – 20th February 2026\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe Kenyan economy is currently navigating a difficult period\, with signs of strain evident across multiple sectors. Labour market performance remains subdued\, characterised by slow growth in formal employment and a persistent decline in real wages. A significant proportion of newly created jobs continue to emerge within the informal sector—typically low-paying\, unstable\, and with limited social protection—thereby undermining broader economic welfare. \nAt the macro-fiscal level\, tax revenue has consistently fallen short of expectations\, with the World Bank reporting an average tax revenue slippage of 6.1% over the past three years. At the same time\, public debt has risen sharply to approximately 71.9% of GDP\, with the widening fiscal deficit increasingly financed through domestic borrowing. These dynamics collectively place the country at a high risk of debt distress. This indicates that without decisive and sustained fiscal reforms including implementation of the adopted national tax policy\, Kenya is likely to face prolonged budgetary pressures and constrained economic resilience. \nDespite these challenges\, Kenya’s medium-term outlook offers cautious optimism. Projections for 2026 indicate an expected GDP growth rate of 5.3%\, supported by improved performance in agriculture and industry as well as the continued implementation of targeted government interventions. While these forecasts point to some recovery\, it is widely acknowledged that growth prospects beyond 2025 remain tempered by persistent structural weaknesses and ongoing fiscal vulnerabilities. Moreover\, the sustainability of the projected growth trajectory depends heavily on a stable and supportive global economic environment. \nDomestically\, unlocking higher and more inclusive growth will require enhanced policy measures aimed at strengthening governance\, curbing endemic corruption\, addressing the implications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing\, and deepening participation in regional and international trade. Only through such comprehensive reforms can the country translate modest recovery signals into lasting economic resilience. \nSustained economic transformation requires more than short-term growth spurts—it demands deliberate\, long-range strategic interventions that enhance productivity across key sectors. As economies navigate complex global challenges—ranging from shifting. \ngeopolitical dynamics\, technological disruptions\, climate change\, to demographic transitions—productivity has emerged as the defining lever for resilience and competitiveness. \nKenya’s development aspirations\, as outlined in the Vision 2030\, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA)\, and other national frameworks\, place strong emphasis on sectoral revitalization\, industrial upgrading\, digitalization\, and skills development. However\, persistent productivity gaps continue to constrain the pace of growth\, limit value addition\, depress job creation\, and slow structural transformation. \nThe 2026 Economic Symposium offers a unique platform for the public and private sectors\, academia\, development partners\, and industry experts to reflect on the country’s productivity landscape\, diagnose sector-specific bottlenecks\, and co-create pathways for transforming productivity gains into broad-based prosperity. The theme “From Productivity to Prosperity: Re-shaping Key Sectors for a Future-Ready Economy” signals a shift from incremental reforms to bold\, systemic changes that prepare the economy for the future of work\, future markets\, and future technologies. \nAs Kenya positions itself within a rapidly evolving global economy\, boosting productivity across key sectors is no longer optional—it is imperative. The 2026 Economic Symposium provides the platform to reimagine strategies\, harness new opportunities\, and champion sectoral reforms that move the country from productivity to prosperity. Through collaborative action and forward-looking dialogue\, stakeholders can accelerate the transformation toward a resilient\, inclusive\, and future-ready economy. \nThe symposium therefore seeks to deepen understanding\, strengthen collaboration\, and ignite national commitment toward accelerating productivity improvements within critical sectors of the economy. It aims to build consensus on strategic actions necessary to elevate Kenya’s competitiveness\, foster inclusive growth\, and create a sustainable economic base capable of withstanding global volatility. \nThe symposium will be structured around high-impact sectoral and cross-cutting areas such as: \n\n Macroeconomic Trends\, Fiscal Pressures & Labour Market Dynamics\n\n\nUnderstanding Kenya’s subdued labour market: low formal job growth\, real wage erosion\, and informality\nDrivers of revenue underperformance and tax slippage\nPublic debt distress risks and implications for economic stability\n\n\nStrengthening Fiscal Governance & Implementing the National Tax Policy\n\n\nAddressing structural weaknesses in domestic revenue mobilisation\nEnhancing tax administration efficiency and compliance\nFiscal consolidation measures and expenditure rationalisation strategies\n\n\nGovernance\, Anti-Corruption & Compliance Reform Imperatives\n\n\nTackling endemic corruption as a productivity drain\nImplications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing and required national reforms\nGovernance and institutional strengthening as preconditions for sustainable growth\n\n\n Revitalising High-Potential Sectors: Agriculture\, Industry & Services\n\n\nAddressing structural bottlenecks in agriculture and enhancing value-chain competitiveness\nIndustrial upgrading\, MSME strengthening\, and expanding manufacturing output\nProductivity opportunities within tourism\, digital services\, finance\, and logistics\n\n\nDigitalization\, Technology & Innovation as Productivity Accelerators\n\n\nLeveraging AI\, automation\, and digital platforms to improve firm-level and sector-wide productivity\nBuilding robust digital infrastructure and cybersecurity capacity\nSupporting innovation ecosystems and technology adoption among MSMEs\n\n\nHuman Capital Development & Preparing for the Future of Work\n\n\nSkills gaps and workforce readiness amidst technological disruption\nAligning education and training systems with industry needs\nLabour market reforms to boost productivity and enhance job quality\n\n\nBuilding Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Systems\n\n\nTransitioning from low-quality informal employment to higher-value job creation\nGreen growth\, climate-smart interventions\, and resilience-building strategies\nEnhancing social protection and inclusive development mechanisms\n\n\nEnhancing Regional & Global Trade Competitiveness\n\n\nStrengthening participation in regional value chains\nTrade facilitation\, export competitiveness\, and market diversification\nPositioning Kenya within the global economy amidst geopolitical shifts\n\n\nCo-Creating a National Productivity Agenda for 2030 and Beyond\n\n\nAligning Vision 2030\, BETA\, and sectoral strategies for transformative productivity\nPublic–private collaboration in investment\, innovation\, and sector reform\nDesigning long-range productivity frameworks for resilience and prosperity\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis economic symposium is not limited to the accountancy profession only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. \nDelegates 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:Reporting on IPSAS Accrual-Practical Course (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nReporting on IPSAS Accrual Practical Course\nDate: 29th – 30th January 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTheme: Transitioning from Cash to Accrual Reporting under IPSAS \nOverview \nPublic sector entities globally are increasingly transitioning from cash-basis accounting to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) Accrual basis to improve transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. For instance the Kenyan cabinet in March 2024 approved the transition from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting with effect from 1st July 2024. The accrual basis of accounting\, as outlined by IPSAS\, provides a more accurate picture of a government’s financial position and performance by recognizing transactions when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid. \nThis move is necessitated by the short-coming of cash basis of accounting with its attendant weaknesses arising from the point of view o financial transparency\, integrity and accountability.  Governments that follow cash basis of accounting tend not to maintain comprehensive and up-to date records of the value of their assets and liabilities. \nThe enabling factors of accrual accounting in the public sector include and is not limited to: growing recognition of the limits of pure cash basis of accounting; the development of accrual based international standards for government fiscal and financial reporting including government Finance statistics manual (GFSM) and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS); the professionalization of the government accounting cadre and resulting introduction of private sector techniques into the public sector and the advent of computerized financial management information system (FMISs) which greatly reduce the transaction costs of collecting and consolidating accrual-based information. While many organizations have adopted IPSAS in principle\, practical challenges remain in compiling\, analyzing\, and reporting accrual-based financial statements. \nThese organizations\, often require hands on training to ensure they can correctly apply IPSAS requirements\, prepare compliant financial statements\, and understand the implications of accrual adjustments and disclosures. This two day practical course is designed to address these gaps by equipping participants with the knowledge and tools needed for accurate IPSAS-compliant reporting. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations and Practical Application of IPSAS Accrual\n\nOverview of IPSAS and the conceptual framework\nKey differences between cash basis and accrual basis reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nPractical sessions on:\n\n\nProperty\, plant\, and equipment (IPSAS 17)\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31)\n\n\nRevenue from exchange and non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 9 & 23)\n\n\nEmployee benefits (IPSAS 39)\n\nPreparing IPSAS Compliant Financial Statements\n\nAccrual adjustments and closing processes\nPreparing primary financial statements:\n\n\nStatement of Financial Performance\nStatement of Financial Position\n\n\nCash Flow Statement (IPSAS 2)\n\n\nStatement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity\nNotes and disclosures requirements\nConsolidated financial statements (IPSAS 35–38)\n\n\nPractical exercise: Full preparation of an IPSAS-compliant set of financial statements.\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis webinar will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers.\nGovernment auditors.\n\n\nPublic finance management professionals.\n\n\nInternal auditors and financial controllers.\nManagers and decision-makers in public institutions who are responsible for financial oversight.\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the sessions. \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.

SUMMARY:INPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) virtual option
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)\nTheme- Strengthening Financial Reporting for Transparency\, Accountability & Donor Confidence\n22nd – 23rd January 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue – Virtual Delivery \nOverview \n Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) occupy a unique space in society\, delivering social impact and advancing development goals across sectors. Their operations rely heavily on funding from donors\, grants\, and other resources that require careful stewardship. Accurate\, comprehensive\, and transparent financial reporting is central to sustaining stakeholder confidence\, demonstrating accountability\, and ensuring compliance with statutory and donor requirements. However\, NPOs often face challenges in financial reporting due to multiple funding sources\, restricted and unrestricted funds\, donor-specific requirements\, and sector-specific accounting standards. \nThe 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. \nINPAS 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. \nGlobal 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. \nWith 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. \nIt 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. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics: \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics:\n1.
