SUMMARY:International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop -Mandatory Training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Taxes & Transfer Pricing Workshop\nDate: 6th – 7th May 2026\nTime: 9.00-4.00PM\nMode Of Delivery: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe world business environment has continued to change in ways that blur borders and extend the reach of enterprises beyond domestic jurisdictions. As cross-border transactions have become more routine\, the tax complexities associated with such activities have mounted and the level of scrutiny applied to them has intensified. Compliance regimes are being clamped down globally\, multinational groups rethink operating models\, and professional accountants are expected to show deeper competence in international taxation regimes and transfer pricing principles. In this setting\, practitioners serving clients with either regional or global footprints must therefore balance strategic tax planning with strict adherence to the law. \nThis workshop aims to provide a reflective yet practical look into international taxation and transfer pricing\, focusing on the realities faced by Kenyan entities involved in cross-border arrangements. It combines issues of current concern\, regulator expectations\, and technical guidance that practitioners need to internalize in meeting their competency obligations. Participants will have a greater insight into how the multinational groups structure their operations\, how the tax authorities construe such arrangements\, and how accountants can assist in complying without unduly compromising sound commercial decisions. \nWith the increased attention that the OECD\, the African Tax Administration Forum\, and KRA are giving to the fair taxation of multinational operations\, this workshop will demystify selected technical concepts using case studies and regulatory updates. This is also an avenue through which practitioners can reflect on how domestic tax rules interact with evolving international standards\, particularly with respect to transfer pricing documentation\, resolution of disputes\, and management of tax risks. Each session is structured in a way that enhances both theoretical and practical insights to ensure that participants leave the sessions with information they can apply directly in client advisory\, audits\, and organization tax planning. \nIn the end\, the program reinforces ICPAK’s commitment to enhancing the professional competence of its members\, especially those studying for or maintaining a Practicing Certificate. The workshop deepens appreciation of various international tax dynamics and transfer pricing obligations\, thus enabling practitioners to contribute towards ensuring that the profession upholds integrity and\, by extension\, supports transparent\, equitable tax practices in an increasingly interdependent economy. \nAreas to be covered: – \n\nOverview of International Taxation Frameworks and transfer pricing and Recent global developments\nRegulatory Frameworks\n\n\nOECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines\nArm’s Length Principle\nLocal country TP regulations (overview)\nDocumentation requirements: Master File\, Local File\, Country-by-Country Reporting\n\n\nUnderstanding Inter-company Transactions\nFunctional Analysis (FAR Analysis)\nTransfer Pricing Methods\n\n\nTraditional transaction methods:\nComparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP)\nResale Price Method (RPM)\nCost Plus Method\nTransactional profit methods:\nTNMM\nProfit Split Method\nMethod selection and hierarchy and Strengths and weaknesses of each method\n\n\nTransfer Pricing for Specific Transactions-Intercompany services and management fees\, IP licensing and royalties\, Cost contribution arrangements (CCAs)\, Financial transactions.\nTransfer Pricing Documentation\nTransfer Pricing Risk Management\nPractical Case Studies & Workshops- Industry-specific TP issues (manufacturing\, technology\, financial services etc)\nDigital economy and TP challenges\n\nTarget Audience \nThe workshop is suitable for tax practitioners\, audit professionals\, finance managers\, consultants\, accountants working in multinational organizations\, regulatory officers\, and members pursuing the Practicing Certificate. \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:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th – 18th June 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \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: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

Governments and public sector entities are increasingly expected to demonstrate how public resources are managed to create sustainable public value\, strengthen fiscal resilience\, enhance service delivery\, and respond to emerging economic\, social\, and environmental challenges. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) continue to play a critical role in promoting transparency\, accountability\, and comparability in public sector financial reporting.

As public sector institutions seek to strengthen accountability and improve decision-making\, there is an increasing need for finance professionals to understand not only the technical requirements of IPSAS but also how financial reporting supports public value creation\, fiscal sustainability\, and stakeholder trust. \nRecognizing these developments\, this Masterclass aims to provide participants with deep technical and strategic insights into emerging IPSAS developments\, sustainability-related reporting\, public sector reforms\, and implementation challenges.

SUMMARY:Effective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEffective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar\nDate:  1st September 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nOrganizations 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. \nA 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. \nFor 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. \nDelegates 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. \n\nIntroduction to whistleblowing and the Legal Framework\nEstablishing Secure Reporting Channels and Confidentiality – Anonymous reporting mechanisms\, Confidentiality safeguards and data protection\, Third-party reporting systems and independence\nWhistleblower Protection and Managing Retaliation – \nInvestigations and Case Handling Procedures\nFostering a Supportive Culture –Building openness and transparency\, Characteristics of a supportive environment for whistleblowers\, Effective communication strategies\, Internal and external support resources\nBuilding a Speak-Up Culture and Ethical Leadership\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Data and Business Analysts\, Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance (GRC) Officer\, Auditors\, Advisors\, Investors and Financial Analysts \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Transition to IPSAS Accrual course
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: CPA Centre \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. 18\,500.

SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION 2 (MANDATORY TRAINING) physical option
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION 2 (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme:  “Enhancing Transparency\, Sustainability\, and Accountability through High Quality Financial Reporting\nDate: 7th -11th September  2026\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino Thika Road\, Nairobi\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nFinancial reporting remains a critical pillar for transparency\, accountability\, governance\, and informed decision making within organizations\, capital markets\, and the broader economy. High quality financial reporting enhances stakeholder confidence\, supports effective stewardship of resources\, strengthens investor trust\, and promotes sound organizational and economic decision making. As the business and regulatory environment continues to evolve\, the demand for reliable\, relevant\, and decision-making useful financial information has become increasingly important. \nRecent developments in financial reporting\, including new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) such as IFRS 18\, together with the growing adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2)\, are reshaping the reporting landscape globally. In addition\, increasing stakeholder expectations around environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) disclosures continue to expand the scope of corporate reporting beyond traditional financial statements. \nAt the same time\, technological advancements in automation\, artificial intelligence\, data analytics\, and digital reporting tools are transforming how financial information is prepared\, analyzed\, presented\, and communicated. These developments require finance professionals to continuously strengthen their technical competence\, exercise sound professional judgment\, and embrace innovative approaches to reporting and disclosure. \nDespite notable progress in reporting practices\, organizations continue to experience challenges in the application of key reporting standards and disclosure requirements\, particularly in areas such as revenue recognition\, financial instruments\, leases\, consolidation\, taxation\, employee benefits\, and sustainability related reporting. Insights from regulatory reviews and the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards 2025 continue to highlight both significant improvements and recurring gaps in compliance\, disclosure quality\, transparency\, consistency\, and application of standards. \nThe evolving role of accountants and finance professionals now extends beyond compliance focused reporting to include broader responsibilities in governance\, sustainability reporting\, business reporting\, performance analysis\, stakeholder communication\, and strategic decision support. This transformation requires professionals to remain responsive to emerging reporting developments while maintaining integrity\, accountability\, and public trust. \nIn response to these evolving demands\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Annual Financial Reporting Conference to provide a comprehensive platform for finance professionals to strengthen technical expertise\, gain practical insights into emerging reporting developments\, and enhance the quality and integrity of financial reporting practices. \nThe conference will bring together standard setters\, regulators\, industry experts\, preparers of financial statements\, auditors\, and finance practitioners to facilitate technical learning\, peer engagement\, practical discussions\, and knowledge sharing aimed at advancing transparency\, sustainability\, accountability\, and best practice in financial reporting. \nKey topics to be covered \n\n The Evolving Landscape of Financial Reporting\n\n\nGlobal developments in financial reporting and IFRS updates\nIFRS 18 and emerging presentation and disclosure requirements\nAligning financial reporting with stakeholder expectations\nStrengthening trust through transparency and accountability\n\n\n Sustainability and Climate Related Reporting\n\n\nIFRS S1 and IFRS S2 implementation considerations\nClimate related disclosures and scenario analysis\nIntegrating ESG into financial and strategic reporting processes\nPractical challenges and emerging best practices\n\n\n Sustainability and Industry Based Reporting Frameworks\n\n\nIndustry specific sustainability disclosure approaches\nPractical application of sustainability reporting frameworks\nSustainability metrics and disclosure expectations\nEnhancing comparability and consistency in reporting\n\n\n IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\n\n\nGeneral presentation requirements\nCategorization in profit or loss\nManagement defined performance measures\nDisaggregation and transparency principles\n\n\n5.

SUMMARY:THE 13TH CSUITE SEMINAR 2026
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 13TH C-SUITE SEMINAR\nTheme: Tenets of Effective C- Suite Leadership for Enhanced Organizational Value \nDate: 7th – 11th September 2026\nVenue: Hilton Istanbul Bosphorous \nTime: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nOVERVIEW \nEffective C-suite leadership in the modern age demands a profound blend of strategic vision and operational agility. Today’s executives operate in an environment defined by rapid technological disruption\, geopolitical uncertainty\, and shifting stakeholder expectations. Unlike previous eras where hierarchical control and quarterly results dominated\, contemporary C-suite leaders must act as orchestrators of complex ecosystems. They balance short-term performance pressures with long-term resilience\, leveraging data analytics while maintaining human-centered decision-making. Success hinges on their ability to anticipate market shifts\, foster innovation across the organization\, and build trust in an era where transparency is non-negotiable. \nTechnological fluency stands as a cornerstone of modern C-suite effectiveness. Leaders must not only understand emerging tools like artificial intelligence\, cloud computing\, and cybersecurity but actively champion their ethical integration. The best executives cultivate digital-first cultures where experimentation is encouraged\, and failure is viewed as a learning opportunity. They partner closely with heads of ICT to drive transformation rather than merely overseeing it. This requires moving beyond delegation to personal involvement in digital strategy\, ensuring the organization remains competitive in an economy where business models can be upended overnight by nimble startups or global tech giants. \nInclusive leadership and cultural stewardship have become essential differentiators. Modern C-suite executives recognize that diverse teams outperform homogeneous ones in creativity and problem-solving. They prioritize psychological safety\, equity\, and belonging to attract and retain top talent in a competitive global labour market. Effective leaders invest in employee development\, champion work-life integration\, and model vulnerability. They understand that company culture is no longer a soft issue but a hard driver of performance\, innovation\, and brand reputation\, especially as younger generations demand purpose-driven workplaces. \nEthical decision-making and sustainability leadership define credibility in today’s interconnected world. C-suite executives face scrutiny from investors\, regulators\, employees\, and consumers who expect responsible governance on issues ranging from climate impact to data privacy. Forward-thinking leaders embed ESG (Environmental\, Social\, and Governance) principles into core strategy rather than treating them as compliance exercises. They navigate complex trade-offs with integrity\, building stakeholder capitalism that delivers value beyond shareholders. This approach mitigates risks while unlocking new opportunities in the green economy and socially conscious markets. \nFinally\, personal resilience and lifelong learning separate truly exceptional C-suite leaders from the rest. The modern role is relentless\, with constant connectivity and high-stakes visibility. Effective executives prioritize their own well-being through deliberate habits\, seek diverse perspectives through mentorship and advisory networks\, and remain intellectually curious. They adapt their leadership style to generational differences and hybrid work realities while staying grounded in core values. In an age of uncertainty\, those who continuously evolve their own capabilities while inspiring others to do the same create organizations that don’t just survive disruption but thrive through it. \nIt is with this in mind that ICPAK has organized the 13th C – Suite Seminar\, a weeklong of learning\, networking with industry peers and sharing ideas. Themed Tenets of Effective C- Suite Leadership for Enhanced Organizational Value the seminar will bring together senior corporate and public sector executives and upcoming leaders for a forthright discussion on matters touching on effective executive leadership.

SUMMARY:IFRS 16-Leases Webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 16-Leases Webinar\nDate: 8th September 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe adoption of IFRS 16: Leases is one of the most significant changes in financial reporting in recent years. This has fundamentally transformed the accounting treatment of lease transactions. The standard adopted a unified lessee accounting model\, requiring lessees to recognize leases in the statement of financial position by establishing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. \nDespite IFRS 16 having been effective for several years\, financial statement reviews continue to reveal inconsistencies in lease identification\, measurement\, reassessment\, and disclosure practices. Additionally\, evolving business models\, economic uncertainties\, and complex contractual arrangements continue to create new challenges for preparers and auditors of financial statements. \nProfessional accountants in practice play a critical role in supporting organizations to achieve compliance with IFRS 16 through the preparation\, review\, audit\, and interpretation of financial statements. As businesses continue to adopt increasingly complex leasing arrangements\, there is a growing need for accountants to strengthen their understanding of the practical application of IFRS 16 and emerging implementation issues. \nThe webinar seeks to bridge knowledge gaps and equip professional accountants with practical skills necessary to apply IFRS 16 effectively while enhancing compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nApply the key recognition and measurement principles of IFRS 16.\nIdentify contracts that contain leases.\nCalculate and account for lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.\nAccount for lease modifications and reassessments.\nEvaluate disclosure requirements under IFRS 16.\nIdentify and address common compliance challenges in lease accounting.\nImprove the quality and consistency of financial reporting relating to leases.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis training is primarily intended for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals\, though not limited to accountancy practitioners; staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend.  \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.
