Evening Networking Forum-Mental Health (virtual option)
2026-04-15 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Evening Networking Forum- Mental Health
Theme- Strengthening Wellbeing, Resilience, and Professional Performance Through Mental Health Awareness
Time: 04pm-06pm
Date: 15th April 2026
Venue- Zoom
Overview:
Mental health has emerged as a central pillar of professional effectiveness, resilience, and sustainable performance. For accountants, auditors, finance professionals, and business leaders, mental health awareness is critical in navigating high-pressure environments, tight deadlines, regulatory scrutiny, and stakeholder expectations. It encompasses the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one’s own mental and emotional wellbeing, while also fostering supportive relationships and healthy work environments.
A strong foundation in mental health awareness enhances self-care, stress management, emotional regulation, and resilience. Professionals equipped with these skills are better able to maintain focus, make sound decisions under pressure, manage work-related stress, and engage constructively with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. Recognizing early warning signs, developing coping strategies, and accessing support are vital competencies that enable individuals and teams to thrive, even in high-stakes professional contexts.
Organizations and professional environments that prioritize mental health see tangible benefits in performance, collaboration, and innovation. Teams with mentally healthy work cultures demonstrate higher engagement, psychological safety, accountability, and adaptive capacity. Leaders who model and promote mental wellbeing create environments where individuals feel supported, empowered, and motivated to contribute meaningfully. As professional workplaces contend with long hours, complex client demands, and remote or hybrid work dynamics, mental health awareness has become essential for sustainable professional growth and organizational resilience.
This Evening Networking Forum offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of mental health while engaging in a physical, interactive setting. Through guided discussions, scenario-based activities, and practical exercises, participants will explore strategies to manage stress, maintain resilience, and support colleagues’ mental wellbeing. The session blends learning with networking, allowing participants to practice insights in real interpersonal interactions in a supportive environment.
A practical component, The Mental Health Mirror, enables participants to reflect on personal stress triggers, coping mechanisms, and behavioral patterns that affect wellbeing. Peer-based exercises reinforce understanding, encourage empathy, and provide a safe space to practice stress management and self-care strategies while receiving constructive feedback.
In recognition of the importance of mental health in professional performance and leadership effectiveness, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this Evening Networking Forum. The session is designed to inspire self-awareness, promote resilience, and empower participants to integrate mental health strategies into their professional and personal lives.
The forum is designed to cover the following areas:

Foundations of Mental Health for Professionals
Mental Health and Professional Effectiveness
The Mental Health Mirror: Guided Self-Reflection and Practical Application
Applying Mental Health Awareness in Real Workplace Scenarios
Networking with Mental Health Awareness

Target Audience:

IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations webinar
2026-04-21 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Date: 21st April 2026
Time: 4:00- 6:00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
Today’s business environment is increasingly dynamic, characterized by frequent restructurings, divestments, mergers, and strategic exits. These developments have significantly increased the occurrence of assets held for sale and discontinued operations, making their correct accounting more critical than ever. Accurate classification, measurement, and presentation under IFRS 5 are essential to safeguarding the credibility of financial statements and ensuring transparent communication to investors and other key stakeholders.
IFRS 5 provides the authoritative framework for the consistent and transparent accounting of such transactions. However, its practical application often presents complex judgment areas, particularly in fast-evolving business situations. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional accountants with a clear, practical, and compliance-focused understanding of IFRS 5. The emphasis is on real-world implementation challenges encountered during asset disposals, business restructuring, and strategic repositioning.
The session will focus on how to:

Determine when an asset or disposal group qualifies as “held for sale”
Apply the appropriate measurement requirements at fair value less costs to sell
Identify and present discontinued operations accurately
Assess the impact on profit or loss, cash flows, and the statement of financial position
Navigate complex judgment areas, including abandoned sales, reclassification, and impairment interactions

The webinar will adopt a practical, application-driven approach, highlighting common misclassifications, disclosure gaps, and key audit and regulatory expectations. Participants will also gain insight into how IFRS 5 interfaces with other relevant standards, including IFRS 3, IAS 36, IFRS 16, and IFRS 10.
By the end of the session, participants will be better positioned to apply IFRS 5 with confidence and by so doing enhance the quality and transparency of financial reporting. This is envisaged to minimize compliance risk and communicate more effectively on discontinued operations and asset disposals.
Target Audience
This training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners only, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend.
Continuous Professional Development Units
Members of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions.

Anti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar

Anti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar
DATE: 16th June 2026
TIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Mode: Virtual
Overview
Anti-money laundering (AML) requirements for accounting professionals stem from global efforts to prevent the integration of illicit funds into the legitimate economy. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body, sets standards through its 40 Recommendations, designating accountants as “gatekeepers” vulnerable to exploitation when providing services such as managing client funds, forming companies, handling real estate transactions, or advising on tax matters. These recommendations emphasize a risk-based approach, requiring professionals to assess and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks effectively.
Under FATF guidelines, accounting firms must implement customer due diligence (CDD) measures when engaging in specified activities on behalf of clients. This includes verifying client identity, understanding the nature of the business relationship, and identifying beneficial owners of legal entities. Enhanced due diligence is required for high-risk clients, such as politically exposed persons (PEPs) or those from jurisdictions with weak AML controls, while simplified measures may apply in low-risk scenarios.
Accounting professionals are obligated to conduct firm-wide risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities based on client types, services offered, and geographic factors. Policies, controls, and procedures must be documented and regularly updated, proportionate to the firm’s size and complexity. This includes appointing a compliance officer (often called a Money Laundering Reporting Officer in some jurisdictions) responsible for oversight and ensuring staff receive ongoing training to recognize suspicious activities.
A core requirement is the monitoring of client transactions and relationships for red flags, such as unusually large cash movements, complex structures without economic purpose, or links to high-risk countries. If suspicion arises, professionals must file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the relevant financial intelligence unit without tipping off the client, balancing this with professional ethics and confidentiality obligations.
Record-keeping is mandatory, with firms required to retain identification documents, transaction records, and risk assessment evidence for at least five years (or longer in some jurisdictions). This supports audits by supervisory bodies and enables traceability in investigations. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, including fines, license revocation, or criminal prosecution.
Ultimately, AML compliance protects the integrity of the accounting profession, mitigates reputational and legal risks, and contributes to global financial security. Firms are encouraged to use technology for efficient screening and monitoring while staying abreast of regulatory updates through guidance from bodies like FATF, CCAB, or national supervisors. Join us for this webinar to get useful insights on the obligations placed on accounting professionals on matters AML

Overview
The auditing profession is experiencing significant transformation driven by evolving stakeholder expectations, regulatory scrutiny, technological advancements, and increasing complexity in business reporting. Investors, regulators, and the public continue to demand greater confidence in the quality of audits and the robustness of assurance processes.
In response to these developments, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) introduced a new suite of Quality Management Standards comprising ISQM 1, ISQM 2, and ISA 220 (Revised). These standards represent a fundamental shift from a compliance-based quality control approach to a proactive, risk-based quality management framework that emphasizes continuous monitoring, remediation, and accountability.
As firms across jurisdictions continue implementing and refining their quality management systems, practitioners face common challenges including governance and leadership responsibilities, resource constraints, technology integration, engagement quality reviews, and regulatory expectations. At the same time, differences in regulatory environments and market maturity offer valuable lessons that can be shared across countries and regions.
This webinar seeks to provide a global perspective on audit quality management by exploring practical experiences, implementation challenges, and emerging best practices from different jurisdictions.
Topical areas of discussion:

Enhance understanding of the global shift from quality control to quality management.
The Global Audit Quality Landscape
Understanding the New Quality Management Framework
Common challenges and lessons learned in establishing effective quality management systems.
Explore the role of technology, data analytics, and innovation in enhancing audit quality.
Provide insights into emerging regulatory expectations and future trends in audit quality management

By redefining subtotals, standardizing the classification of operating, investing and financing activities, and elevating the role of management-defined performance measures, IFRS 18 is expected to significantly enhance comparability across entities, industries and jurisdictions. This reform responds directly to long-standing user concerns regarding the lack of consistency in performance presentation under IAS 1, and the excessive use of non-GAAP metrics that previously contributed to opacity and inconsistency across reporting landscapes.
Beyond structural realignment, IFRS 18 emphasizes clearer disaggregation, improved linkage between notes and primary statements, enhanced transparency of performance metrics, and stronger alignment between management commentary and actual business performance portrayal. The new approach shifts reporting away from broad discretionary presentation towards more standardized, principle-aligned categorization that reflects how entities generate returns and deploy economic resources. As a result, subtotals such as operating profit are expected to become more reliable, analytical comparability will be reinforced, and perception gaps for investors, analysts, regulators and rating agencies will be narrowed.
The shift introduced by IFRS 18 is not just technical, it is strategic. Entities will need to reassess their reporting models, mapping of income and expenses, definitions of performance, investor communication frameworks and disclosure architecture. Internal reporting structures may require alignment with external presentation to ensure credibility and cross‑validation. System updates, chart‑of‑accounts restructuring, data model reviews and presentation consistency will be central implementation matters. Preparers, reviewers, auditors and governance boards will therefore require a transition mindset that goes beyond compliance interpretation and focuses on impact understanding, internal readiness and organizational adaptation.
With global adoption timelines accelerating and the first effective year commencing 2027, jurisdictions and reporting entities are encouraged to prepare early to minimize transition friction. Capacity building, awareness and forward alignment will be critical, particularly for practitioners who will be expected to interpret, evaluate, audit and advise on the new presentation model. It is in response to this transition landscape and in readiness for implementation clarity, ICPAK is convening this training to equip the profession with forward-looking insights, technical understanding and preparatory orientation to enable timely, confident and informed transition into IFRS 18 application.
Topics to be covered will include:

Understanding the IFRS 18 framework and replacement of IAS 1
Standardized operating, investing and financing categories
New subtotals, performance metrics and disaggregation expectations
Linking management performance measures and entity performance narratives
Transition planning, disclosure redesign and internal alignment considerations
Practical implications for preparers, reviewers, auditors and governance roles

ICPAK Town Hall Deliberation -Post Finance Bill (virtual option)
2026-07-08 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ICPAK Town Hall Deliberation -Post Finance Bill
Theme: From Budget to Service Delivery: Strengthening Fiscal Accountability and Public Value
Dat: 8th July 2026
Time: 1600hrs – 1800hrs
Venue: Online /Zoom
Background
The annual budget process is central to determining how public resources are raised, allocated and used to meet national development priorities. The Finance Bill, 2026 was presented as part of the ordinary fiscal and budgetary cycle and proposed amendments to various tax laws, including income tax, value added tax, excise duty, tax procedures, miscellaneous fees and levies, stamp duty and the road maintenance levy framework. Following public participation, parliamentary scrutiny and approval, the Bill became the Finance Act, 2026, providing the legal framework for implementing revenue measures intended to strengthen collection, improve compliance, close loopholes and support Kenya’s 2026/27 budget priorities.
Although the Finance Act primarily focuses on revenue measures, its significance lies in how the resources mobilized are translated into public value. For citizens, businesses and policy practitioners, the critical question is whether budget allocations are implemented efficiently, transparently and equitably to improve public services, strengthen livelihoods and support inclusive economic growth.
The ICPAK Townhall Deliberation will therefore bring together members of the public, institutional stakeholders and policy practitioners to review the Finance Act, 2026, examine the link between revenue mobilization and budget implementation, and discuss how fiscal decisions can translate into measurable service delivery outcomes.

Purpose of the Town Hall

The purpose of the town hall is to provide an open, informed and participatory platform for stakeholders to deliberate on the Finance Act, 2026 and the implementation of the national budget. The session will connect policy design with practical service delivery concerns by examining how fiscal measures affect citizens, businesses, institutions and public programmes.

Objectives

To provide stakeholders with a clear overview of the Finance Act, 2026 and its implications for budget implementation.
To discuss the relationship between domestic revenue mobilisation, public expenditure and service delivery outcomes.
To identify priority implementation issues affecting citizens, businesses and policy practitioners.
To promote dialogue on accountability, transparency and public participation in the budget cycle.
To generate practical recommendations for strengthening the link between budget allocations, implementation and service delivery.

Key Discussion Areas

Finance Bill to Finance Act: Overview of the legislative process, public participation, parliamentary approval and Presidential assent.
Revenue mobilization and tax administration: Key amendments introduced by the Finance Act, including compliance measures, digital tax administration, broadening of the tax base and implications for taxpayers.
Budget priorities and allocations: Review of how the 2026/27 budget aligns with national development priorities, fiscal discipline and inclusive growth objectives.
From allocation to implementation: Examination of how approved budgets are translated into programmes, projects and services at national and local levels.
Service delivery outcomes: Discussion on whether budget implementation is improving access, quality, efficiency and equity in public services.
Accountability and transparency: Mechanisms for monitoring expenditure, tracking performance and strengthening citizen oversight.
Stakeholder concerns and recommendations: Reflections from policy practitioners, civil society, businesses and the public on practical reforms needed to improve fiscal governance.

Target Participants

The town hall will target members of the public, policy practitioners, public finance management experts, civil society organizations, professional associations, private sector representatives, academia, media, youth and community representatives, and officials involved in planning, budgeting, revenue administration, implementation and oversight.

Proposed Format

Opening remarks and framing of the town hall theme.
Expert presentation on the Finance Act, 2026 and key budget implementation issues.
Panel discussion with policy practitioners, public finance experts and stakeholder representatives.
Moderated plenary session for questions, comments and proposals from participants.
Synthesis of key messages, recommendations and agreed follow-up actions.

Expected Outcomes

Improved stakeholder understanding of the Finance Act, 2026 and its implications for the 2026/27 budget.
Clearer appreciation of the connection between revenue measures, budget execution and service delivery.
Documented stakeholder views on priority fiscal, implementation and service delivery concerns.
Practical recommendations to strengthen transparency, accountability and responsiveness in budget implementation.
Enhanced public participation and dialogue between citizens, policy practitioners and institutions responsible for fiscal governance.

Conclusion

The transition from budget formulation to service delivery requires more than legal and fiscal approval. It depends on effective implementation, accountable institutions, informed citizens and continuous stakeholder engagement. The proposed town hall will provide a timely platform to review the Finance Act, 2026, assess budget implementation priorities and generate practical proposals for ensuring that public resources deliver tangible and measurable benefits to citizens.

IAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period webinar

THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period
Date: 14th July 2026
Time: 4.00-6.00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
In today’s volatile business environment, events occurring after the reporting period can have a significant impact on financial reporting. This volatility is driven by economic shocks, regulatory changes, shifting tax regimes, climate-related risks and unexpected operational disruptions. IAS 10 provides the essential framework for identifying, assessing, adjusting for and disclosing such events to ensure quality financial reporting.
IAS 10 safeguards the integrity of financial reporting between the reporting date and the date of authorization for issue. However, many entities struggle to correctly distinguish between adjusting and non-adjusting events. This often leads to misstatements, delayed disclosures and ultimately qualified audit opinion. Common challenges arise in areas such as post-year-end litigation, tax assessments, restructurings, going concern uncertainties and major economic developments. This webinar is therefore designed to provide clear, practical and compliance-focused guidance on the application of IAS 10.
The session will focus on how to:

Distinguish between adjusting and non-adjusting events
Determine when post-reporting period information requires adjustment
Apply appropriate disclosure requirements for material non-adjusting events
Assess the impact on the going concern assumption
Navigate key judgment areas, including estimates, litigation and post-year-end transactions

The webinar will take a practical, implementation-driven approach. It will address common misclassifications, disclosure gaps, regulatory expectations and audit inspection findings. Participants will also briefly examine how IAS 10 interacts with IFRS 18, IAS 37, IAS 12, and IFRS 5.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to apply IAS 10 with confidence and sound professional judgment. This will strengthen the credibility of financial reporting, reduce post-reporting compliance risk, ensure users receive transparent, timely and decision-useful information.
Target Audience
This webinar is designed for professional accountants involved in financial reporting, audit, and assurance functions.

THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Mental Health and Substance Abuse in the Workplace Webinar
Theme: Balancing High Performance with Mental Wellness: Cultivating a
Culture of Care in the Corporate Workspace
Date: 21st July 2026
Time: 04.00 pm-06.00 pm
Delivery Mode: Zoom /Online
Overview
Mental health has emerged as one of the most critical workplace issues of our time, affecting employees across all professions, industries and organizational tiers. The relentless demands of modern corporate environments, amplified by economic pressures, rapid technological disruptions, personal challenges and evolving workplace expectations have contributed to rising levels of stress, anxiety, burnout, depression etc.
Simultaneously, substance abuse continues to pose deep, systemic challenges within organizations, silently eroding employee well-being, team dynamics, and overall institutional performance. The misuse of alcohol, prescriptions drugs and other substances manifest heavily on corporate balance sheets through chronic absenteeism, present physical but mentally disengaged (presenteeism). Comprises decision making, operational safety hazards, escalating healthcare costs.
Accountants, finance experts, business leaders, doctors just to name a few often operate in high-pressure ecosystems characterized by demanding workloads, uncompromising compliance deadlines and significant fiduciary responsibilities. These make them vulnerable to psychological risks. Yet despite growing awareness, mental health and substance abuse remain shrouded in stigma, frequently preventing individuals from seeking timely intervention. Today organizations are promoting psychological well-being not as a human resource preference but a strategic necessity.
It is against this background that this webinar has been designed to create a platform for open, stigma free dialogue to equip individuals and organizational leaders with the practical strategies required to identify risks early, foster a culture of care, building resilient, psychologically safes workplaces.
Key topics to be covered include:

Understanding mental health in the workplace
Substance Abuse and its workplace implications
Recognizing warning signs and executing early interventions
Building a mentally healthy and psychologically safe workplace
Promoting resilience and personal self-care

Target Audience
This webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession

Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence (virtual option)
2026-07-29 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence
Theme- Strengthening Emotional Intelligence for Impactful Leadership and Professional Excellence
Date: 29th July 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue- Virtual Delivery
Overview
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has become an essential capability in today’s professional world, influencing how individuals understand their emotions, build meaningful relationships, and make grounded decisions. Unlike IQ, which measures cognitive ability, EI combines thinking and feeling to support self-awareness, emotional regulation, and authentic decision-making. It enables individuals to manage their reactions, meet emotional needs, and navigate situations with clarity and intention. Because EI predicts effectiveness and can be developed over time, it offers a unique pathway to personal fulfillment and professional success.
In modern workplaces, EI is increasingly recognized as a strategic competency that enhances communication, strengthens trust, and enables professionals to respond ethically under pressure. For accountants, auditors, finance practitioners, and business leaders, EI plays a pivotal role in managing stakeholder expectations, upholding integrity, and maintaining composure in high-stakes environments. By identifying emotional triggers and managing emotional hijacking, professionals cultivate the resilience and sound judgment required in complex and demanding roles.
A strong grounding in Emotional Intelligence supports self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social competence skills that enable individuals to manage conflict effectively, give constructive feedback, and lead with authenticity. In fields where technical expertise is expected, EI becomes a key differentiator that enhances ethical behavior, client care, decision-making, and leadership effectiveness. Professionals with high EI are better equipped to adapt to change, handle stress, and respond calmly in workplaces characterized by tight deadlines and regulatory scrutiny.
Beyond the individual level, EI has become central to building healthy organizational cultures. Teams with strong emotional intelligence demonstrate greater collaboration, accountability, innovation, and psychological safety. Leaders who apply EI foster inclusive environments where people feel respected, motivated, and empowered to perform at their best. As organizations confront growing complexity, diversity, and evolving work dynamics, EI has emerged as a critical driver of trust, agility, and long-term performance.
It is in recognition of this growing importance that ICPAK has organized the Evening Networking Forum. The session provides professionals with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Emotional Intelligence through guided discussions, real-life scenarios, and practical exercises. Participants will explore their emotional strengths, practice empathy-centered communication, and learn how EI influences leadership, teamwork, and conflict management. By blending learning with live networking, the forum equips attendees to apply EI concepts immediately while strengthening their professional connections and personal growth journeys.
The forum is designed to cover the following topics:
Introduction to Emotional Intelligence

Definition, principles, and components of Emotional Intelligence
Understanding emotions and responses
Why EI matters in modern professional practice
Difference between EQ and IQ

Assessing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Webinar
Date: 4th August 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
The assessment of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions has become a critical component of modern financial reporting, sustainability disclosure and corporate accountability. As global and national regulatory frameworks continue to emphasize transparency in environmental performance, organizations are increasingly required to measure, verify, manage, and report their GHG emissions in line with internationally recognized standards.
Understanding GHG assessment enables professionals to better support organizations in meeting compliance obligations, preparing credible sustainability reports and contributing to global climate action initiatives. Frameworks such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14064 standards, and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 & S2) guide entities in establishing consistent methodologies for emission quantification and disclosure.
This webinar will unpack the key concepts, processes, and reporting requirements related to GHG emissions. It will address the challenges faced by accountants, auditors and sustainability professionals in collecting accurate data, understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and aligning their assessments with emerging regulatory expectations, including Kenya’s evolving sustainability reporting landscape. The session aims to equip participants with practical knowledge on conducting high-quality emissions assessments, supporting decision-making, enhancing stakeholder confidence, and promoting best practices in environmental reporting across sectors.
The webinar will highlight key aspects of Assessing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions relating to the following:

Introduction to Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Understanding GHGs, sources and categories (Scope 1, Scope 2 & Scope 3)
Relevance to financial reporting and sustainability disclosures
GHG Accounting and Measurement Frameworks
Overview of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol & IFRS S2
Boundaries: Operational, organizational, and reporting boundaries
Data Collection, Calculation & Verification
Emission factors, activity data & quantification methodologies

Overview
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how organizations operate, compete, and create value. By automating tasks, improving decisions, generating insights, and enhancing customer experiences, AI has become a strategic enabler across industries. Organizations that adopt it effectively gain efficiency, innovation, and competitiveness, while those that do not risk falling behind in the digital economy.
For accounting and finance professionals, AI offers opportunities to redefine roles and improve effectiveness. It can automate data entry, reconciliations, reporting, and document analysis, freeing professionals to focus on financial analysis, advisory services, risk management, and business decisions while improving accuracy and speed.
Effective AI use requires more than adopting technology. Professionals must understand AI’s capabilities and limits, write effective prompts, review outputs critically, and apply AI responsibly, ethically, and in line with professional standards. Human judgment, skepticism, confidentiality, and data privacy remain essential.
As AI evolves, organizations need professionals who combine technical expertise with digital skills to drive innovation and performance. Using AI in daily workflows, improving productivity, supporting decisions, and managing risks such as bias, misinformation, cybersecurity, and data protection are now essential competencies.
This webinar will provide practical knowledge and hands-on insights on using AI in today’s professional environment. Through demonstrations, examples, and real-world use cases, participants will learn how to improve efficiency, judgment, productivity, and competitive advantage while upholding ethical and professional standards.

Sustainability Assurance-ISSA 5000 Webinar
2026-08-18 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Assurance-ISSA 5000 Webinar
Date: 18th August 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
The increasing demand for high-quality sustainability-related information has elevated the importance of assurance in building trust and confidence among investors, regulators, and other stakeholders. As organizations continue to enhance their sustainability reporting in response to global reporting requirements, there is a growing need for assurance practitioners and reporting professionals to understand the principles, requirements, and application of sustainability assurance engagements.
To address this need, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issued the International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000, General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements, which establishes a comprehensive global baseline for sustainability assurance. ISSA 5000 responds to the rapidly evolving sustainability reporting landscape, including the adoption of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, regional sustainability disclosure requirements, and stakeholder expectations for credible and decision-useful sustainability information.
As sustainability assurance becomes increasingly relevant to organizations across sectors, practitioners must understand how ISSA 5000 addresses unique sustainability assurance considerations, including materiality assessments, value chain information, estimation uncertainty, forward-looking information, and the use of experts.
This webinar will provide participants with insights into the application of ISSA 5000 and its implications for assurance practitioners, preparers, regulators, and other stakeholders involved in sustainability reporting and assurance.
Topical areas;

Understanding Sustainability Assurance Engagements
Planning and Performing Sustainability Assurance Engagements
Evidence Gathering and Documentation
Materiality, Value Chain Information, and Use of Experts
Internal Controls and Assurance Readiness
Reporting and Communication under ISSA 5000

ICPAK Americas Chapter -Digital Assets: Key Accounting and Regulatory Compliance Considerations Webinar
2026-08-31 18:00 - 20:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ICPAK Americas Chapter
Topic: Digital Assets: Key Accounting and Regulatory Compliance Considerations
Date: 31st August 2026
Time: 6pm to 8pm EAT
Charges: USD 25
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
Digital assets have become an increasingly influential part of the global financial system, transforming how businesses create, exchange, and store value. This category includes cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, fiat-backed stablecoins like USDC, tokenized assets, and other blockchain-enabled instruments that may operate independently or derive value from underlying financial or physical assets. The rapid growth of the digital asset market, combined with expanding participation from financial institutions, investors, custodians, and trading platforms, has created increased demand for stronger accounting standards and regulatory oversight. Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide continue to develop frameworks that promote innovation while safeguarding consumer interests, maintaining financial stability, and strengthening market transparency.
One of the most significant challenges surrounding digital assets lies in determining their accounting treatment and financial reporting requirements. Existing standards under US GAAP and IFRS do not provide comprehensive guidance dedicated specifically to digital assets, requiring organizations to interpret and apply existing frameworks based on the characteristics of each asset. Native digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, are commonly classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets because they do not meet the definitions of cash, inventory, or financial instruments. In contrast, asset-referencing digital assets, including redeemable stable coins, may qualify as financial instruments depending on their contractual rights and redemption mechanisms. These classifications influence how digital assets are recognized, measured, and presented in financial statements, resulting in varying accounting outcomes across entities and jurisdictions.
Valuation and subsequent measurement remain equally complex due to the volatility and evolving nature of digital asset markets. Under traditional US GAAP treatment, digital assets measured as intangible assets are recorded at cost and subject to impairment, meaning declines in value are recognized while increases cannot be recorded until disposal. This limitation may fail to reflect the true economic value of holdings, particularly for entities actively trading or using derivatives to manage risk. IFRS offers greater flexibility in certain circumstances by permitting inventory treatment for actively traded assets or applying revaluation approaches when active markets exist. Additional considerations include determining balance sheet classification, establishing ownership and control in custodial arrangements, selecting costing methodologies such as FIFO or LIFO, and complying with disclosure requirements such as those introduced through SEC guidance on safeguarding crypto assets.
This webinar will cover the following topics:

Understanding Digital Assets and Their Growing Role in Modern Financial Systems
Accounting Treatment of Digital Assets under US GAAP and IFRS
Valuation, Fair Value Measurement, and Financial Reporting Challenges
Regulatory Compliance and Governance Considerations for Digital Assets

This webinar will be useful to all professionals Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession.

Effective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar
2026-09-01 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Effective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar
Date: 1st September 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
Organizations today operate in an environment where accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership are increasingly demanded by regulators, investors, employees, and the public. As fraud, corruption, harassment, and other forms of misconduct continue to threaten institutional credibility and sustainability, whistleblowing has emerged as a critical governance tool for early detection and timely intervention. However, the effectiveness of whistleblowing largely depends on whether organizations have well-designed frameworks that encourage reporting and ensure that concerns are handled professionally and fairly.
A strong whistleblowing policy provides a structured foundation for reporting unethical practices and misconduct while defining clear responsibilities for management, audit committees, compliance officers and internal audit functions. It establishes the scope of reportable issues, sets out reporting procedures and creates accountability mechanisms that ensure disclosures are treated seriously. Without such a policy, organizations risk inconsistent handling of cases, loss of trust, and increased exposure to reputational and financial damage.
For whistleblowing systems to work, organizations must provide secure reporting channels and guarantee confidentiality to protect whistleblowers from exposure. Equally important is the establishment of safeguards against retaliation, as fear of victimization remains one of the biggest barriers to reporting. By reinforcing protection measures and ensuring impartial investigations and proper case handling procedures, institutions strengthen internal control systems and create confidence that wrongdoing will be addressed without bias or intimidation.
Delegates will gain a comprehensive understanding of employer responsibilities, the protections available to whistleblowers, and the essential steps required to strengthen whistleblowing and speak-up policies. Participants will be equipped with practical insights on designing secure reporting frameworks, ensuring confidentiality safeguards, managing retaliation risks, and enhancing investigation and case-handling procedures to build a credible and effective whistleblowing system.
