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.

Launched in October 2025 as the first globally recognized accounting standard specifically designed for non-profit organizations (NPOs)\, INPAS provides a unified\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique characteristics of nonprofits. Unlike traditional standards such as IFRS or national GAAP\, which primarily serve for-profit entities\, INPAS addresses sector-specific challenges including diverse funding sources\, donor restrictions\, and grant reporting. It emerged from the International Financial Reporting for Non-Profit Organisations (IFR4NPO) project\, led by CIPFA and Humentum\, following extensive global consultations over six years involving stakeholders from more than 40 countries. \nINPAS is built upon the foundation of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard\, adapting and extending it to better reflect non-profit realities. It applies to small\, medium\, and large NPOs that use accrual accounting\, offering guidance for preparing whole-of-entity financial statements that meet the needs of a wide range of users\, including donors\, regulators\, and beneficiaries. The standard emphasizes producing transparent\, credible\, and comparable financial reports while reducing inconsistencies that arise when NPOs apply multiple or mismatched frameworks across jurisdictions and funders. \nA core objective of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in non-profit finances worldwide. It tackles long-standing issues such as the recognition and measurement of grants and donations\, the clear distinction and presentation of restricted versus unrestricted funds\, and the integration of meaningful narrative reporting alongside financial data. By providing specific rules for these areas\, INPAS helps ensure that financial statements deliver decision-useful information\, enabling stakeholders to better understand an organization’s resource allocation\, performance\, and compliance with donor intentions. \nThe standard covers comprehensive recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements customized to non-profit activities and funding models. It includes a Practice Guide for harmonized grant reporting\, which aims to streamline compliance across different funders and significantly reduce the administrative burden on NPOs that previously faced duplicative or conflicting reporting demands. This harmonization is expected to improve efficiency\, cut compliance costs\, and foster greater consistency in how financial information is communicated globally. \nINPAS promotes comparability across borders and organizations\, allowing donors\, governments\, and the public to more reliably assess and compare non-profits regardless of location or size. ICPAK has endorsed the use of the standards and early uptake is anticipated to build credibility and support informed decision-making. The standard’s standalone nature means NPOs can apply it independently\, though publicly accountable entities must make appropriate disclosures if choosing INPAS over full IFRS. \nOverall\, INPAS marks the non-profit sector’s alignment with the kind of standardized\, high-quality financial reporting long available to for-profit entities. By establishing a single\, sector-dedicated benchmark\, it seeks to strengthen donor confidence\, facilitate cross-border operations\, and ultimately contribute to more effective and trustworthy non-profit work worldwide. As implementation progresses\, ongoing guidance and resources from the International Non-Profit Reporting Foundation (INPRF) will support the transition for organizations adopting the standard. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on the standard. \n Target 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.

It promotes a proactive and effective approach to quality management\, encouraging firms to design a system tailored to their specific circumstances. ISQM 1 replaces ISQC 1\, which focuses on quality control for firms performing audits and reviews of financial statements and related services engagements. The objective is to ensure that the firm and its personnel fulfill their responsibilities and engagements in accordance with professional standards and legal requirements. Quality management is core to audit\, and a detailed understanding of the importance of both audit quality and quality management underlines the performance of an audit. Quality is a key part of ensuring that audits are fit for purpose and retain the public trust. \nThe International Standard on Quality Management 2 (ISQM 2) outlines the scope of engagements subject to an engagement quality (EQ) review\, the appointment and eligibility of the EQ reviewer\, and their responsibilities. The objective is to objectively evaluate significant judgments made by the engagement team and their conclusions. ISQM 2 applies to all engagements required to perform an EQ review in accordance with ISQM 1\, effective for audits and reviews of financial statements and assurance and related services engagements. \nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 1\,000.

Issues such as income attribution\, VAT apportionment\, withholding tax\, and transfer pricing demand specialized knowledge and careful application of tax laws. \nKRA has increased scrutiny of branch operations through eTIMS\, data-driven audits\, and stricter reporting. As a result\, branch compliance now requires not only meeting legal obligations but also managing risk\, interpreting complex laws\, and maintaining consistency across the organization. \nRecent Finance Act amendments\, digital service taxes\, and sustainability levies have made branch taxation more complex. Professionals must address both local rules and global developments such as OECD BEPS initiatives affecting permanent establishments and cross-border branches. \nThis seminar will equip accountants\, tax practitioners\, and finance professionals with practical tools for effective branch taxation management. Through expert sessions\, case studies\, and discussions\, participants will better understand compliance duties\, emerging issues\, and audit-readiness strategies\, with emphasis on ethics\, judgment\, and proactive risk management. \nBy focusing on branch taxation\, the seminar offers value beyond general compliance training. It helps participants reduce penalties\, build stakeholder confidence\, and align with best practices in a changing tax environment. \nThe seminar will cover the following topics: \nSession 1: Taxation of Branch Operations in Kenya \n\nLegal framework for branch taxation\n\n\nBranch versus subsidiary: tax implications\n\n\nIncome attribution and branch profit determination\n\n\nTax treatment of foreign branches and permanent establishments under treaties\n\nSession 2: Value Added Tax (VAT) Compliance for Branches \n\nVAT registration\, filing\, and record keeping\n\n\nElectronic invoicing (eTIMS) and digital VAT compliance\nApportionment of VAT at branch level\nCommon compliance pitfalls and audit exposure\n\nSession 3: Withholding Tax and Statutory Deductions \n\nScope and application of withholding tax\n\n\nPAYE\, NSSF\, NHIF\, Housing Levy\, and other statutory deductions\n\n\nCompliance challenges and case studies\n\n\nManaging penalties\, interest\, and late compliance risks\n\nSession 4: Transfer Pricing and Related Party Transactions \n\nTransfer pricing rules for branch operations\n\n\nIntra-group transactions and head office charges\n\n\nDocumentation requirements and audit readiness\n\n\nManaging disputes and transfer pricing risk exposure\n\nSession 5: Emerging Issues in Branch Taxation \n\nDigital service tax and e-commerce impacts\n\n\nSustainability-related levies and green taxation trends\n\n\nFinance Act 2026 changes affecting branches\n\n\nFuture direction of tax administration in Kenya\n\nSession 6: Tax Audits\, Dispute Resolution\, and Risk Management \n\nPreparing for KRA tax audits and investigations\nManaging objections\, appeals\, and ADR processes\n\n\nEthical considerations and professional judgment in tax practice\nProactive tax risk management strategies\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

Public sector accountants play a critical role in supporting policy implementation\, enhancing fiscal discipline\, strengthening internal controls\, improving service delivery\, and promoting effective utilization of public funds within national and county governments\, state corporations\, and other public institutions. \nAs governments and public institutions continue to operate within an increasingly complex economic\, technological\, regulatory\, and social environment\, the expectations placed on public finance professionals continue to expand significantly. Today’s public sector accountants are expected not only to ensure compliance with financial regulations and reporting requirements\, but also to provide strategic insights that support sustainable development\, institutional resilience\, public trust\, and effective decision making. \nThe public financial management landscape is undergoing rapid transformation driven by digitalization\, public sector reforms\, evolving International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS)\, increasing citizen expectations for transparency and service delivery\, fiscal pressures\, climate related financial obligations\, sustainability and ESG considerations\, and growing demand for value for money in public expenditure. Governments are increasingly adopting technology enabled financial systems\, strengthening performance-based budgeting approaches\, enhancing reporting frameworks\, and implementing reforms aimed at improving accountability and operational efficiency. \nAt the same time\, the sector continues to face persistent and emerging challenges including delayed financial reporting\, audit queries\, weak internal controls\, public debt pressures\, fraud risks\, cyber threats\, capacity constraints\, governance concerns\, and increasing complexity in public private partnerships and sustainability related reporting obligations. These developments require public sector accountants to continuously strengthen their technical competence\, digital readiness\, ethical leadership\, strategic thinking\, and adaptability to emerging public finance trends. \nThe evolving role of public sector accountants therefore extends beyond traditional compliance focused responsibilities to include broader functions in governance\, institutional transformation\, risk oversight\, financial analysis\, sustainability reporting\, performance management\, internal assurance\, and strategic public financial management. \nThe Annual Public Sector Accountants Conference provides an important platform for public finance professionals\, regulators\, policy makers\, development partners\, and stakeholders to engage on emerging issues affecting public sector accounting\, governance\, and financial management. The conference seeks to facilitate technical learning\, professional development\, peer engagement\, collaborative discussions\, and practical knowledge sharing on innovative approaches to strengthening accountability\, transparency\, institutional resilience\, and service delivery within the public sector. \nIn line with its mandate to develop and support the accountancy profession and promote high standards of professional competence\, governance\, accountability\, and ethical practice\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this conference to equip public sector professionals with practical insights\, emerging knowledge\, and strategic perspectives necessary for effective public financial management and sustainable institutional performance \nThe conference will cover the following key thematic areas: \n\n IPSAS Implementation and Public Sector Financial Reporting and the Future of Public Financial Management\n\n\nEmerging trends shaping public sector finance and governance\nProgress and emerging developments in IPSAS implementation\nStrengthening financial reporting quality in the public sector\nAddressing audit queries and reporting deficiencies\nStrengthening accountability and transparency in public institutions\nEnhancing value for money and public service delivery\nStrengthening fiscal discipline and expenditure management\n\n\n Governance\, Ethics\, and Accountability in the Public Sector\n\n\nEthical leadership and integrity in public institutions\nStrengthening governance and oversight frameworks\nPromoting accountability and responsible financial management\nBuilding public trust through transparency and ethical conduct\n\n\n Digital Transformation and Innovation in Public Finance-Data Analytics and Technology Enabled Decision Making\n\n\nUsing data analytics to improve financial oversight and decision making\nData visualization and reporting dashboards for public finance professionals\nLeveraging technology for efficiency\, transparency\, and accountability\nPractical applications of analytics in public financial management\nLeveraging IFMIS and digital financial management systems\nAutomation\, data analytics\, and digital reporting tools\nArtificial intelligence and emerging technologies in public finance\nCybersecurity\, data governance\, and digital risks in the public sector\n\n\n Internal Controls\, Risk Management\, and Fraud Prevention\n\n\nStrengthening internal control systems and assurance mechanisms\nEnterprise risk management in public institutions\nFraud prevention\, detection\, and response strategies\nBuilding resilient and adaptive public sector institutions\n\n\n Audit Readiness and Improving Audit Outcomes\n\n\nPreparing for effective public sector audits\nAddressing recurring audit findings and audit backlogs\nStrengthening documentation\, compliance\, and reporting processes\nEnhancing audit outcomes and institutional accountability\n\n\n Indepth analysis of accounting standards\n\n\nIPSAS 43 (Leases): Requires government entities to clearly record all lease obligations on their balance sheets\, recognizing them as exact assets or liabilities to give a clearer picture of owed and owned.\nIPSAS 44 (Non-Current Assets Held for Sale): Provides strict guidelines on valuing\, displaying\, and disclosing government property (e.g.\, land\, vehicles) earmarked for disposal.\nIPSAS 45 (Property\, Plant\, and Equipment): Replaces IPSAS 17 to improve state asset management and includes new guidance on long-lasting infrastructure and heritage assets.\nIPSAS 46 (Measurement): Provides a comprehensive framework for exactly how public sector entities measure assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses.\n\n\n Sustainability\, Climate Finance\, and ESG Reporting\n\n\nSustainability and ESG developments in the public sector\nClimate finance and climate related reporting obligations\nIntegrating sustainability into planning and decision making\nSupporting sustainable public sector development and resilience\n\n\n Leadership\, Change Management\, and Workforce Transformation\n\n\nLeading transformation in public institutions\nManaging change in evolving work environments\nBuilding adaptive and future ready public sector finance teams\nDeveloping leadership capability and institutional resilience\n\n\n Professional Wellbeing and Resilience in the Public Sector\n\n\nManaging pressure in demanding public finance environments\nBuilding resilience and adaptability among finance professionals\nPromoting mental wellness and professional effectiveness\nSustaining productivity and ethical conduct in dynamic work environments\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nPublic Sector Accountants\, Accountants in parastatals and State Corporations\, external auditors\, public sector internal auditors\, IPSAS Board personnel\, Academia\, Accounting and Finance consultants;

However\, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs. \nThe introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits. \nThis course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs. \nKey Topics to Be Covered: \n\nIntroduction to ISA for Less Complex Entities\n\n\nBackground\nThe rationale for ISA for Less complex entities\nPublic interest overriding consideration\n\n\nDifferences between ISA for Less Complex Entities and existing ISAs\nCore concepts of ISA for Less Complex Entities\n\n\nFundamental Concepts\, General Principles and Overarching Requirements\nAudit Evidence and Documentation\nEngagement Quality Management\nAcceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements\nPlanning\nRisk Identification and Assessment\nResponding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement\nConcluding\nForming an Opinion and Reporting\nAudits of Group Financial Statements\n\n Target Audience : \nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically: \n\nAuditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).\nAudit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.\n\n\nProfessionals involved in the development\, implementation\, and application of auditing standards for SMEs.\n\n\nAccounting and auditing students who aim to specialize in auditing LCEs\nSupervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\nMid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\n\n\nIndividuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing\n\nYour Financial Commitment  \nCharges for the training will be Kes 1\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD Units  \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending all sessions. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session. Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.

These audits evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s policies\, procedures\, and controls designed to detect\, prevent\, and report money laundering and terrorist financing activities. Auditors assess whether the institution maintains a robust risk-based approach\, adhering to standards set by bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)\, local regulators\, and international guidelines. The primary goal is to identify weaknesses that could expose the organization to financial crime risks\, reputational damage\, or regulatory penalties. Successful audits require a combination of technical expertise\, independence\, and a thorough understanding of evolving threats in the global financial ecosystem. \nThe planning phase sets the foundation for a successful AML/CFT audit. Auditors begin by defining the scope\, objectives\, and timeline\, considering factors like the institution’s size\, customer base\, product offerings\, and geographic operations. A comprehensive risk assessment is conducted to prioritize high-risk areas\, such as correspondent banking\, trade finance\, or dealings with high-risk jurisdictions. Documentation review includes examining the AML/CFT policy framework\, customer due diligence (CDD) procedures\, and transaction monitoring systems. Engagement with key stakeholders\, including compliance officers and senior management\, helps align expectations and gather preliminary insights. Proper planning ensures resources are allocated efficiently and that the audit remains focused on material risks. \nRisk assessment forms the core of the audit methodology. Auditors evaluate the institution’s enterprise-wide risk assessment to determine if it accurately identifies\, measures\, and mitigates AML/CFT exposures. This involves analysing customer risk profiles\, enhanced due diligence (EDD) for politically exposed persons (PEPs)\, and sanctions screening processes. Data analytics tools are often employed to review transaction patterns\, flag suspicious activities\, and test the effectiveness of automated monitoring systems. Qualitative factors\, such as staff training programs and the “tone from the top” in fostering a culture of compliance\, are also scrutinized. Any gaps in risk identification can indicate systemic vulnerabilities that require immediate attention. \nFieldwork and testing procedures involve detailed examination of controls and operations. Auditors perform walkthroughs of key processes\, sample testing of customer files for proper KYC (Know Your Customer) documentation\, and validation of suspicious activity report (SAR) filings. Independent testing of transaction monitoring rules helps verify detection accuracy and false positive rates. Interviews with frontline staff and compliance teams reveal practical implementation challenges. Technology audits may include assessing the reliability of core banking systems and data integrity. These hands-on activities ensure that theoretical policies translate into effective day-to-day practices. \nEvaluation of findings focuses on the adequacy and effectiveness of the AML/CFT program. Auditors rate controls as effective\, partially effective\, or ineffective based on evidence gathered. Common deficiencies include inadequate customer identification\, weak ongoing monitoring\, or insufficient independent testing of the compliance function. Root cause analysis is performed to understand underlying issues\, such as resource constraints or outdated technology. The audit team also benchmarks the institution against industry best practices and regulatory expectations\, providing a holistic view of compliance maturity. This step is crucial for prioritizing remediation efforts. \nThe reporting and follow-up stage closes the audit cycle with actionable recommendations. A clear\, well-structured report is delivered to management and the board\, highlighting strengths\, weaknesses\, and prioritized remedial actions with timelines. Follow-up mechanisms ensure that agreed-upon corrective measures are implemented and tested in subsequent reviews. Continuous monitoring and periodic re-audits help adapt to emerging risks\, such as those posed by new technologies like cryptocurrencies or virtual assets. Ultimately\, a well-conducted AML/CFT audit strengthens the organization’s defenses\, promotes regulatory adherence\, and contributes to the broader fight against financial crime. \nTarget Audience: \nThe webinar will be useful to accountants\, auditors\, academia\, and other designated professionals interested AML and CFT audit \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.
