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.

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. The seminar discussions will focus on: \n\nStrategic Leadership in an Era of Uncertainty\nBuilding Financial Acumen and Shareholder Value Creation\nTalent Optimization and Creating High-Performance Culture\nCorporate Governance\, Ethics\, and Board Dynamics\nSustainability\, ESG\, and Responsible Leadership\nCrisis Leadership and Organizational Resilience\nCustomer-Centric Strategy and Experience Leadership\nData-Driven Decision Making and Analytics Mastery\nGlobal Expansion and Geopolitical Strategy\nEnterprise Risk Management in a Complex World\nExecutive Presence\, Influence\, and Personal Leadership\nDiversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Belonging\nThe Future of Work\, AI Literacy\, and Human-AI Collaboration\nPersonal Mastery\, Resilience & Life-long Learning \n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nBoard Members\, Members of Board Committees\, Chief Executive Officers\, General Managers\, Managing Directors\, Heads of Government Units and Parastatals\, Governors of County Governments and Senators\, County Executive Committee Members\, Heads of Departments\, Members of Various Committees\, Senior Management\, and other interested participants.  \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nPrice\n\n\nKenyan based Members/ACCA Members\, Non-Members and International Delegates  \nKshs. 250\,000\n\n\n\n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD units upon successfully attending all seminar sessions. \nNITA REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

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.

International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB)\, provides a globally recognized framework that promotes the quality\, consistency\, and credibility of audit engagements. As stakeholders place greater reliance on audited financial statements\, the role of auditors in enhancing confidence in financial reporting and supporting informed decision-making has become increasingly important. \nThe audit profession continues to evolve in response to an increasingly complex business environment characterized by rapid technological advancements\, economic uncertainty\, changing regulatory expectations and heightened stakeholder demands. As organizations navigate these challenges\, auditors are expected to exercise greater professional skepticism\, apply sound professional judgment\, and respond effectively to emerging risks while maintaining compliance with auditing standards. \nThe growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, data analytics\, and other digital technologies is transforming the audit landscape\, creating new opportunities for improving audit effectiveness while also introducing additional risks and considerations. At the same time\, increased focus on fraud prevention\, business resilience\, accounting estimates\, going concern assessments and quality management has heightened expectations of auditors and audit firms. \nThis virtual workshop will provide participants with practical insights into key areas shaping the profession today\, including risk assessment\, fraud risk management\, technology-enabled auditing\, auditing accounting estimates and going concern assessments\, audit evidence and documentation\, audit reporting\, quality management\, and emerging trends influencing the future of auditing. Through technical presentations\, practical case studies\, and interactive discussions\, participants will enhance their understanding of ISAs and strengthen their ability to deliver high-quality audit engagements. \nKey Topics to be Covered \n\n Enhancing Audit Quality Through Effective Risk Assessment\n\n\nApplying ISA 315 (Revised) in identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement\nUnderstanding internal controls and significant risks\nPractical challenges and lessons from audit inspections\n\n\n Professional Skepticism and Fraud Risk Management\n\n\nAuditor responsibilities under ISA 240\nIdentifying fraud indicators and responding to fraud risks\nStrengthening professional judgment and skepticism\n\n\n Technology\, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Auditing\n\n\nLeveraging technology to improve audit effectiveness\nData analytics and technology-enabled audit procedures\nOpportunities and risks associated with AI in auditing\n\n\n Auditing Accounting Estimates and Going Concern Assessments\n\n\nKey requirements of ISA 540 (Revised) and ISA 570 (Revised)\nEvaluating management assumptions and judgments\nAddressing uncertainty in today’s business environment\n\n\n Obtaining Audit Evidence and Strengthening Audit Documentation\n\n\nApplying the requirements of the ISA 500 series\nCommon documentation deficiencies and inspection findings\nBest practices for maintaining high-quality audit files\n\n\n Audit Reporting and Communicating Matters that Matter\n\n\nForming audit opinions under the ISA 700 series\nKey Audit Matters (KAMs) and modified opinions\nEnhancing stakeholder communication through audit reporting\n\n\n Quality Management and Lessons from Audit Inspections\n\n\nPractical implementation of ISQM 1 and ISQM 2\nRoot causes of audit quality deficiencies\nBuilding a culture of quality within audit firms\n\n\n Emerging Trends Shaping the Future of Auditing\n\n\nSustainability reporting and assurance developments\nEvolving regulatory expectations\nFuture skills and competencies for auditors\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically: \n\nSupervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\nMid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\nIndividuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing\nTax Practitioners and Tax Experts\nFinancial Controllers and Credit Managers\n\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.

Across the globe\, revenue authorities are shifting from compliance-oriented engagement to assertive\, technology-enabled enforcement models that emphasize data interrogation\, real-time reporting\, and retrospective scrutiny of tax positions. The implementation stage of global reforms\, particularly under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework and BEPS Pillar II\, has intensified audit activity and increased exposure to penalties\, adjustments\, and reputational risk for both taxpayers and their advisors. \nIn Kenya\, this shift is increasingly evident. Successive Finance Acts\, the expansion of electronic invoicing through eTIMS\, enhanced third-party data integration\, and a more aggressive audit posture by the Kenya Revenue Authority have fundamentally changed how compliance is assessed and enforced. Tax audits are now faster\, more data-driven\, and less reliant on negotiated outcomes. County governments\, facing growing fiscal pressure\, are also strengthening own-source revenue enforcement\, introducing an additional layer of compliance and dispute risk for businesses and professionals alike. \nAs enforcement intensity rises\, the role of the tax professional is being redefined. Practitioners are now expected to design and defend tax positions capable of withstanding deep forensic scrutiny\, manage electronic evidence trails\, respond to simultaneous national and county audits\, and guide clients through complex dispute and litigation processes. At the same time\, heightened enforcement has amplified ethical pressure\, professional liability exposure\, and reputational risk\, particularly where aggressive tax planning\, documentation weaknesses\, or governance failures are involved. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the 14th Annual Tax Convention is deliberately positioned as an advanced\, practice-oriented forum focused on enforcement realities rather than policy theory. The Convention will examine how tax laws are applied in practice\, how audits are conducted\, how disputes unfold\, and how professionals can protect both their clients and themselves in an increasingly unforgiving regulatory environment. Through technical sessions\, real-world case analysis\, and regulatory perspectives\, participants will gain practical insights into audit readiness\, defensibility\, dispute management\, and ethical decision-making under pressure. \nKey Coverage Areas of the 14th Tax Convention \nThe 14th Annual Tax Convention will delve into the following topical areas among others \nTheme 1: Tax Enforcement in a Data-Driven Era \n\nThe New Face of Tax Audits: Data Analytics\, Automation\, and Real-Time Enforcement\nManaging Audit Risk in an Aggressive Revenue Collection Environment\n\nTheme 2: Defensibility\, Evidence\, and Audit Readiness \n\nBuilding Defensible Tax Positions: Documentation\, Professional Judgement\, and Risk Assessment\n\n\nElectronic Evidence\, eTIMS Data\, and Transaction Reconstruction in Tax Audits\n\nTheme 3: Advanced International Tax and Transfer Pricing \n\nBEPS Pillar II in Practice: Compliance Failures\, Data Gaps\, and Enforcement Risks\nTransfer Pricing Audits: Trends\, Red Flags\, and Defense Strategies\n\nTheme 4: Disputes\, Litigation\, and Multi-Level Tax Risk \n\nManaging Tax Disputes from Assessment to Appeal: Practical Strategies\nCounty Own-Source Revenue Enforcement: Legal Risk\, Compliance\, and Litigation\n\nTheme 5: Accountability\, Ethics\, and Professional Survival \n\nEthics and Independence Under Pressure: Managing Client Expectations and Regulatory Scrutiny\n\n\nProfessional Liability\, Sanctions\, and Reputational Risk in Tax Practice\nTax Governance and Board Accountability: Strengthening Oversight in High-Enforcement Environments\n\nANNUAL TAX CONVENTION OBJECTIVES \nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\nAnalyse the evolving tax enforcement environment in Kenya\, the region\, and globally\, and assess its implications for tax advisory and compliance practice.\nBuild and document defensible tax positions capable of withstanding data-driven audits and regulatory scrutiny.\n\n\nApply advanced skills in audit readiness\, electronic evidence management\, and transaction reconstruction\, particularly in the context of eTIMS and digital records.\n\n\nNavigate tax disputes and litigation more effectively\, including managing assessments\, objections\, appeals\, and negotiations with revenue authorities.\nInterpret and implement BEPS Pillar II and international tax rules with a focus on compliance risk\, penalties\, and enforcement exposure.\nStrengthen competence in transfer pricing audits\, including documentation standards\, red-flag identification\, and defence strategies.\n\n\nEvaluate emerging county and sub-national tax enforcement risks and manage overlapping national and county tax obligations.\nIntegrate ESG\, carbon taxation\, and sustainability obligations into tax practice with an appreciation of enforcement and disclosure risk.\n\n\nUphold ethical judgment\, independence\, and professional integrity under heightened regulatory\, commercial\, and reputational pressure.\nEnhance professional resilience by understanding personal liability\, sanctions\, and reputational risk associated with modern tax practice.\nSupport continuous professional development through advanced\, practice-oriented\, CPD-certified learning aligned with current enforcement realities.\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThis training is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration.

With increasing mainstreaming of climate-related disclosures\, the need for professionals who can apply the GHG accounting principles practically\, as set out in recognized global frameworks\, cannot be over-emphasized. This practical course will focus on the development of hands-on capacity to measure\, calculate\, document\, and report GHG emissions for Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3. The course will bridge the gap between theory and practice by focusing on real-life organizational scenarios\, sector-specific emission sources\, and practical calculations that align with international best practice. \nWith the gradual evolution of sustainability reporting\, it is increasingly expected of entities to report their carbon footprint in a reliable\, consistent\, and auditable manner. Yet\, for many organizations\, technical challenges persist regarding source identification for emissions\, collection of quality data on activities\, methods for selecting the most appropriate emission factors\, and completeness and accuracy concerns in disclosures. This course responds to the practical competencies gap by equipping participants with the necessary competencies to operationalize GHG measurement\, enhance internal data systems\, support assurance processes\, and better ensure the credibility of climate-related information presented within corporate reports. \nThe course will enhance the practical ability of participants to identify relevant emission sources\, apply standardized calculation methodologies\, manage data collection processes\, and prepare reliable GHG emissions reports. It seeks to build competence in distinguishing between direct and indirect emissions\, developing organizational and operational boundaries\, and embedding internal controls that support high-quality environmental data. Participants will also gain an appreciation of how robust GHG reporting supports risk management\, regulatory compliance\, strategic planning\, and stakeholder confidence. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \nIntroduction to GHG Accounting Frameworks \n\nOverview of internationally accepted GHG accounting principles\nUnderstanding organizational and operational boundaries\nAlignment with global climate disclosure expectations\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions \n\nIdentifying direct emission sources (fuel combustion\, company vehicles\, industrial processes)\nActivity data collection and quality checks\nHands-on calculations using emission factors\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 2 Emissions \n\nAccounting for purchased electricity\, steam\, heating\, and cooling\nMarket-based versus location-based methods\nElectricity data interpretation and practical calculation exercises\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 3 Emissions \n\nMapping value chain emission sources\nPrioritization of material Scope 3 categories\nPractical approaches to data estimation and supplier engagement\n\nGHG Data Management and Internal Controls \n\nDesigning data collection templates and control processes\nManaging data gaps\, assumptions\, and estimations\nDocumentation and audit trail requirements\n\nPreparation of GHG Emissions Reports \n\nStructuring clear and credible GHG disclosures\nConsistency with financial and sustainability reporting\nCommon errors and how to avoid them\n\nVerification and Assurance Readiness \n\nPreparing GHG data for independent verification\nUnderstanding assurance expectations and evidence requirements\nResponding to review findings and improving reporting quality\n\nLinking GHG Measurement to Strategy and Performance \n\nUsing emissions data to inform risk management and decision-making\nSetting reduction targets and monitoring progress\nIntegrating GHG data into broader ESG and sustainability frameworks\n\n Target Audience \n The course is intended for accountants\, auditors\, sustainability and ESG professionals\, internal control and risk management practitioners\, finance and operations managers\, environmental and health and safety officers\, compliance officers\, and consultants who are engaged in sustainability reporting or climate-related risk management. It will also be useful to public sector professionals\, regulators\, and development practitioners who support environmental accountability and the implementation of climate policy. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the course. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 18\,500.

Organizations are operating amidst economic volatility\, geopolitical tensions\, climate-related challenges\, rapid technological advancements\, evolving regulatory requirements\, and increasing stakeholder expectations. These developments have fundamentally altered the risk landscape\, requiring organizations to rethink how risks are identified\, assessed\, managed\, and leveraged to create sustainable value. \nThe World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report continues to highlight critical risks facing organizations including cyber insecurity\, climate change\, misinformation and disinformation\, geopolitical conflicts\, economic instability\, and disruptions arising from emerging technologies. At the same time\, organizations are increasingly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, automation\, digital platforms\, and data-driven business models\, creating both unprecedented opportunities and new categories of risk that require effective governance and oversight. \nWithin Kenya and across the region\, organizations continue to navigate an increasingly dynamic environment characterized by economic pressures\, regulatory reforms\, digital transformation initiatives\, sustainability demands\, cybersecurity threats\, supply chain vulnerabilities\, and heightened public scrutiny. These realities demand that organizations build resilience\, strengthen governance\, improve strategic agility\, and enhance their ability to respond effectively to emerging risks and opportunities. \nConsequently\, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is no longer viewed merely as a compliance or control function. Modern ERM has evolved into a strategic management discipline that supports decision-making\, drives organizational performance\, protects value\, enhances resilience\, and enables sustainable growth. Organizations that successfully integrate risk management into strategy and operations are better positioned to anticipate disruptions\, adapt to change\, capitalize on opportunities\, and maintain stakeholder confidence. \nThe ERM Master Class 2026 has been designed to equip participants with advanced knowledge\, and strategic insights necessary to navigate today’s complex risk environment. Building upon traditional ERM principles\, this year’s programme introduces contemporary themes including Artificial Intelligence governance\, cyber resilience\, climate and sustainability risks\, organizational resilience\, risk analytics\, digital transformation\, and the future role of risk professionals. \nThrough expert-led sessions\, practical workshops\, case studies\, simulations\, and peer learning opportunities\, participants will gain practical skills and actionable insights that can be immediately applied within their organizations. The Master Class will also provide an excellent platform for networking\, benchmarking\, and sharing experiences with fellow professionals from diverse sectors. \nThe following five modules cover the key fundamental learning areas; \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE \nTOPICS \n \nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\nDAY 1\nFoundations of Enterprise Risk Management and Strategic Risk Leadership\n§  Enterprise Risk Management Fundamentals \n§   Strategic Risk Management \n§   The Evolving Risk Landscape\n1.    Key concepts and principles of Enterprise Risk Management \n2.    Evolution of risk management from compliance to strategic value creation \n3.    Differences between traditional risk management and Enterprise Risk Management \n4.    COSO ERM Framework and ISO 31000:2018 \n5.    Integrating risk management into organizational strategy and performance \n6.    The role of risk professionals as strategic business partners \n7.    Understanding the current global and local risk landscape \n8.    Regulatory and governance considerations affecting ERM \n9.    Roles and responsibilities of Boards\, Management and Risk Functions \n10.

These reviews provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of quality management systems\, audit methodologies\, documentation practices\, independence requirements\, and compliance with applicable professional standards. The findings and recommendations arising from such reviews offer an opportunity for firms and practitioners to identify weaknesses and implement measures that strengthen compliance and improve the quality of professional services. \nThe purpose of this initiative is to enhance compliance through the effective implementation of recommendations arising from ICPAK reviews. By addressing identified gaps and strengthening internal controls\, firms can improve adherence to professional and ethical standards\, reduce the risk of regulatory breaches\, and enhance the quality and reliability of their services. The initiative seeks to foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability within professional practice. \nTo achieve this objective\, firms will review and analyze findings from ICPAK review reports\, develop corrective action plans\, and implement measures to address identified deficiencies. This will include reviewing and updating policies and procedures\, strengthening quality management systems\, improving documentation and record-keeping practices\, and providing targeted training to staff on professional and regulatory requirements. Periodic internal reviews and monitoring activities will also be undertaken to assess progress and ensure sustained compliance. \nThe expected outcome of this initiative is improved compliance with ICPAK requirements\, professional standards\, and ethical obligations. Enhanced compliance will contribute to higher-quality audit\, assurance\, and accounting services\, strengthen stakeholder confidence\, and reduce the recurrence of findings in future reviews. In addition\, stronger governance\, risk management\, and internal control processes will support the long-term sustainability and reputation of firms and practitioners. \nThe reviews serve as an important mechanism for promoting professional excellence and regulatory compliance within the accounting profession. By proactively addressing review findings and implementing recommended improvements\, firms and practitioners can strengthen their compliance frameworks\, improve service quality\, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. \nTraining areas \n\nOverview of ICPAK Practice Reviews and areas of improvement\nISQM 1 and ISQM 2 Compliance\nEthics and Independence Requirements\nApplication of International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\nMonitoring and Internal Compliance Reviews\nAnti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing Compliance\nImplementation of Review Recommendations\nTechnology and Quality Management\n\nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants. \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.

In a field that continues to evolve rapidly\, the conference recognizes the critical role women accountants play in driving integrity\, innovation\, and sustainable value creation within organizations and the broader economy. \nIn today’s rapidly evolving global economy\, empowering women to assume leadership roles is no longer a matter of equity alone but a strategic imperative for sustainable progress. Women leaders bring distinctive perspectives shaped by diverse life experiences\, fostering decision-making that prioritizes long-term resilience over short-term gains. Sustainable leadership\, when championed by ladies\, integrates environmental stewardship\, ethical governance\, and social responsibility into core business strategies. This approach helps organizations navigate volatility—whether from climate challenges or geopolitical shifts—while building stakeholder trust and ensuring enduring viability in competitive international markets. \nInnovation flourishes when barriers to women’s participation are dismantled. Ladies often excel at collaborative problem-solving and human-centered design\, injecting fresh ideas into technology\, healthcare\, finance\, and green industries. By investing in women and inclusive innovation ecosystems\, organizations unlock untapped talent pools that drive breakthroughs. In a globally competitive landscape\, companies and nations that harness female ingenuity report higher patent filings\, agile adaptation to market disruptions\, and the creation of solutions that address both local needs and universal challenges\, such as sustainable energy and digital inclusion. \nThere is a growing recognition of the critical role women accountants play in driving ethical leadership\, financial transparency\, and sustainable organizational growth. As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation\, sustainability reporting and integrated thinking\, lady accountants are expected to take up more strategic roles beyond compliance and reporting. One of the key benefits of this conference is enhanced professional capability and leadership development among women in the accounting and other professions. \nThe 10th National Lady Accountants Conference therefore aims to demystify complex and emerging areas while empowering women to confidently navigate leadership roles and professional challenges. It will provide practical insights into how strategic decisions are influenced and how women can position themselves as key drivers of transformation within their organizations.

Auditors are expected not only to provide assurance on financial information but also to navigate emerging risks\, leverage technology effectively and uphold the highest standards of professional judgment and ethical conduct. \nGlobally\, audit regulators and standard setters continue to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening audit quality and restoring public confidence in the profession. Recent developments such as the International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2)\, revisions to risk assessment and auditing standards\, increased focus on sustainability reporting and assurance\, and the adoption of advanced data analytics tools are reshaping audit methodologies and engagement practices. \nIn Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly complex environment characterized by heightened regulatory expectations\, digital transformation\, evolving reporting requirements\, and growing concerns over fraud\, cybersecurity threats\, and financial reporting quality. Recent corporate failures and governance challenges have further reinforced the need for robust audit processes\, enhanced professional skepticism\, and continuous capacity building among audit professionals. \nAs organizations embrace digital technologies and face new business risks\, audit staff must develop competencies that extend beyond traditional audit approaches. Skills in data analytics\, risk assessment\, fraud detection\, audit quality management\, and sustainability assurance are becoming essential for delivering high-quality audits that meet stakeholder expectations. \nThe Audit Staff Training Programme seeks to equip audit professionals with practical knowledge and emerging skills necessary to enhance audit quality\, strengthen professional judgment\, improve risk identification\, and effectively respond to the evolving demands of the profession. The programme will provide participants with insights into current auditing standards\, technological innovations\, fraud risk management\, and sustainability-related assurance considerations. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Risk-Based Auditing and Audit Planning\n·         Understanding the entity and its environment \n·         Identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement (ISA 315 Revised) \n·         Materiality considerations in audit planning \n·         Risk assessment procedures and documentation requirements \n·         Designing responses to identified risks (ISA 330) \n·         Practical case studies on risk-based auditing \n \n\n\nB.   Audit Quality Management and Professional Skepticism\n·         Overview of ISQM 1 and ISQM 2 requirements \n·         Establishing a culture of audit quality \n·         Professional skepticism and professional judgment \n·         Common audit deficiencies identified during inspections \n·         Root cause analysis and remediation of quality issues \n·         Enhancing audit engagement performance\n\n\nC.   Fraud Risk Assessment and Forensic Audit Techniques\n·         Auditor responsibilities relating to fraud (ISA 240) \n·         Fraud risk factors and red flags \n·         Lessons from recent corporate fraud cases \n·         Fraud detection techniques and investigative procedures \n·         Use of data analytics in fraud identification \n·         Documentation and reporting considerations.\n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Technology\, Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Audit\n·         Digital transformation of audit engagements \n·         Introduction to audit data analytics \n·         Computer-Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs) \n·         Artificial Intelligence applications in auditing \n·         Cybersecurity risks and audit implications \n·         Future-ready auditing practices\n\n\nE.   Auditing Complex Areas of Financial Statements\n·         Auditing accounting estimates under ISA 540 (Revised) \n·         Revenue recognition challenges (IFRS 15) \n·         Auditing leases under IFRS 16 \n·         Impairment assessments and going concern considerations \n·         Related-party transactions and significant judgments \n·         Practical examples and common audit pitfalls \n \n\n\nF.   Sustainability Assurance and Effective Audit Reporting\n·         Overview of sustainability and ESG reporting requirements \n·         IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 implications for auditors \n·         Introduction to sustainability assurance engagements – ISSA 5000 \n·         Key Audit Matters (ISA 701) \n·         Communicating with those charged with governance \n·         Preparing clear\, concise and impactful audit reports\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: \n\nAuditors working in  accounting firms\, internal audit departments\, or as external auditors.\nIndividuals with a basic understanding of auditing principles who seek to deepen their knowledge of international auditing standards.\nAudit managers and team leads who need to ensure their teams adhere to ISA requirements.\n\n\nAccounting and finance professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of international auditing standards.\nAudit managers\, supervisors\, and directors.\nRegulatory and oversight bodies involved in auditing\, accounting\, and financial reporting.\nStudents pursuing qualifications in auditing and accounting  \n\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.

Investors\, regulators\, lenders\, customers\, and other stakeholders increasingly require organizations to disclose how sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect their business model\, strategy\, financial performance\, and long-term value creation. \nThe global sustainability reporting landscape has undergone significant transformation following the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the issuance of IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. These standards establish a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures and are increasingly influencing reporting expectations across jurisdictions\, industries\, and capital markets. \nOrganizations are now expected to go beyond broad sustainability narratives by demonstrating strong governance\, effective risk management\, measurable performance\, and credible climate-related disclosures. This includes identifying\, measuring\, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, climate-related risks and opportunities\, sustainability metrics\, and transition plans. As a result\, organizations must strengthen their reporting capabilities\, data management processes\, internal controls\, and readiness for assurance. \nProfessional accountants are at the centre of this transformation. Their expertise in reporting\, governance\, assurance\, internal controls\, performance measurement\, and risk management positions them to play a critical role in the implementation of sustainability reporting frameworks and standards. As organizations increasingly integrate sustainability considerations into business strategy and decision-making\, accountants must develop the practical competencies required to prepare\, review\, and support sustainability disclosures. \nIn line with its mandate to promote high standards of professional competence and support the accountancy profession\, ICPAK has organized this course to equip participants with practical knowledge and implementation skills in sustainability reporting. The training will provide guidance on applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 requirements\, conducting materiality assessments\, measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions\, developing sustainability disclosures\, establishing sustainability metrics and targets\, strengthening sustainability data governance\, and preparing organizations for sustainability assurance requirements. \nKey Topics    \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding and Implementing IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards\n·         Overview of the ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Framework \n·         IFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information \n·         IFRS S2 – Climate-related Disclosures \n·         Sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Integration of sustainability reporting with financial reporting \n·         Governance responsibilities for sustainability reporting \n \n\n\nB.   Materiality Assessment and Sustainability Risk Identification\n·         Principles of sustainability materiality assessment \n·         Identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Stakeholder engagement and value chain considerations \n·         Risk and opportunity assessment methodologies \n·         Documentation and evidence requirements \n·         Integrating sustainability considerations into enterprise risk management \n \n\n\nC.   Climate Reporting and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions\n·         Climate-related disclosure requirements under IFRS S2 \n·         Understanding greenhouse gas emissions \n·         Scope 1 emissions \n·         Scope 2 emissions \n·         Scope 3 emissions \n·         GHG Protocol principles and reporting considerations \n·         Measuring\, calculating\, and reporting GHG emissions \n·         Common implementation challenges and practical solutions\n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Sustainability Metrics\, Targets\, and Data Management\n·         Sustainability metrics and performance indicators \n·         Climate-related metrics and targets \n·         Sustainability data collection and management systems \n·         Internal controls over sustainability information \n·         Data governance and data quality management \n·         Monitoring and evaluating sustainability performance\n\n\nE.     Developing Sustainability Disclosures and Reports\n·         Governance disclosures \n·         Strategy disclosures \n·         Risk management disclosures \n·         Metrics and targets disclosures \n·         Preparing IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 aligned sustainability reports \n·         Common reporting challenges and how to address them \n·         Practical case studies and reporting exercises \n \n\n\nF.   Sustainability Assurance and Emerging Developments\n·         Sustainability assurance landscape \n·         Limited versus reasonable assurance \n·         Internal audit and sustainability reporting \n·         Greenwashing risks and reporting integrity \n·         Emerging sustainability reporting trends \n·         Future developments in sustainability disclosures and regulation \n \n\n\n\n Target 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 18\,500/= 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.
