SUMMARY:Audit Managers and Supervisors Seminar (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Managers & Supervisors Seminar (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th -18th September 2025\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\nTheme: Strengthening Audit Supervision for Quality\, Integrity\, and Digital Readiness\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe audit profession is undergoing rapid transformation driven by regulatory reforms\, technological disruption\, and heightened stakeholder expectations. Audit managers and supervisors now find themselves at the center of this shift\, tasked with ensuring audit quality\, mentoring teams\, and upholding ethical and professional standards\, while also adapting to digital innovations and evolving business risks. \nThe integration of technology has brought greater efficiency and analytical power to the audit process\, yet it has also created new challenges. Sophisticated fraud schemes\, cyber risks\, and the complexities of auditing technology-enabled business models require supervisors to adopt stronger oversight practices. At the same time\, the new International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 & 2) emphasize accountability\, leadership\, and risk-based approaches\, underscoring the critical role of supervisors in ensuring consistent quality across engagements. \nBeyond technical competence\, effective supervision now demands strong leadership\, the ability to manage diverse teams\, and the skill to navigate difficult client relationships and regulatory expectations. Supervisors are expected to model professional skepticism\, integrate technology responsibly\, and foster a culture of integrity and continuous improvement within audit firms and institutions. \nTo equip professionals for these responsibilities\, ICPAK has designed a two-day virtual symposium tailored to audit managers and supervisors. The symposium will blend technical learning\, leadership development\, case-based analysis\, and practical strategies to help participants strengthen their supervisory capacity. The sessions will explore risk-based audit supervision\, the application of digital tools\, ethical and regulatory developments\, and best practices drawn from real-world scenarios. The goal is to empower participants with the tools\, insights\, and confidence to lead audit teams effectively\, enhance audit quality\, and contribute to institutional resilience in a dynamic environment. \nThe training is designed to cover the following topics: \n1: The Evolving Role of Audit Managers & Supervisors \n\nSupervisory responsibilities under ISAs and ISQM requirements.\nBalancing technical excellence with leadership responsibilities.\nBuilding a culture of audit quality and accountability.\n\n 2: Audit Quality and Risk-Based Audit Approaches \n\nEmbedding ISQM 1 & 2 into supervisory practice.\nEffective planning and risk assessment.\nTechniques for reviewing audit work to ensure accuracy and completeness.\n\n 3: Supervisory & Leadership Skills for Audit Managers \n\nDelegation\, coaching\, and motivating audit teams.\nConflict resolution and managing diverse teams.\nEffective communication with partners\, clients\, and audit staff.\n\nSession 4: Leveraging Technology in Audit Supervision \n\nRole of data analytics\, AI\, and audit software in modern audits.\nSupervisory responsibilities in technology-driven audits.\nChallenges and opportunities in digital transformation of audit.\n\n5: Ethics\, Professional Skepticism\, and Regulatory Updates \n\nManaging independence threats and ethical dilemmas.\nReinforcing professional skepticism at supervisory level.\nUpdates from regulators\, ICPAK\, and international bodies.\n\n 6: Practical Case Studies & Best Practices \n\nReal-world supervisory challenges in audit.\nLessons learned from engagement reviews and regulatory inspections.\nPanel discussion and peer exchange on supervisory excellence.\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 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.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Reporting Course (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Course\nTheme: Empowering Accountants for Sustainable Impact: Mastering IFRS S1 & S2\nDate: 2nd – 3rd October 2025\nTime: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\nHybrid Event: CPA Centre\, Nairobi & Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nGlobally\, sustainability reporting continues to gain momentum as stakeholders demand greater accountability on environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) matters. Businesses are now expected to disclose not only financial performance but also the impact of their operations on the planet and society. In response to this shift\, international standards IFRS S1 and S2 have been developed to offer a consistent and comparable framework for sustainability disclosures. The adoption of newly developed sustainability standards is not merely an organizational development initiative; it is critical for fostering a resilient economy at large\, impacting both private businesses and the public sector. \nAt the same time\, the accounting profession is facing new ethical challenges. Greenwashing\, greenhushing\, and conflicts of interest have emerged as major concerns in the sustainability space\, leading to misinformation and a loss of stakeholder trust. To address this\, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) introduced new ethics and independence standards under the IESSA (International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance) framework. These standards aim to guide professional accountants and assurance providers in maintaining integrity\, transparency\, and public interest when dealing with sustainability-related engagements. \nLocally\, feedback from the FiRe Award—East Africa’s most prestigious financial reporting excellence recognition award— has shown that while many organizations are making progress in sustainability reporting\, there are still significant gaps. These include weak board involvement\, inconsistent data presentation\, and poor linkage between strategy and reported outcomes. This workshop responds to those gaps by equipping personnel with practical skills\, real-world scenarios\, and ethical frameworks for quality sustainability reporting. \nThe sessions will offer targeted insights into sustainability reporting for various entities\, acknowledging that different entities require tailored approaches. \nThe workshop is designed to be interactive\, insightful\, and practical\, enabling participants to not only understand the evolving sustainability landscape but also take the lead in shaping it within their roles. \n LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Introduction to IFRS S1 & S2\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Objective of IFRS S1 & S2 \n·         Introduction to the Core content pillars \n·         Relationship with Other Standards \n \n\n\nB.   General requirements \n·         General requirements \n  \no   Sources of Guidance \no   Location of Disclosures \no   Timing of reporting \no   Comparative information \no   Statement of Compliance \no   Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \no   Best practices in data collection \no   Building capacity within the organization \no   Transition Reliefs \n \n\n\nC.   Core Content: Governance\n·         The Role of Governance Disclosures in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Foundational Concepts \n·         Governance Disclosures under IFRS S1: \n  \no   Deep Dive: Board-Level Governance \no   Deep Dive: Management’s Role \n  \n·         Sample governance disclosure formats\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 2\nD.   Core Content: Risk Management\n·         Required Disclosures \n·         Risk Identification and Assessment \n·         Risk Mitigation and Control \n·         Link to Strategy and Metrics \n·         Walkthrough of a risk disclosure template\n\n\nE.     Core Content: Strategy\n·         The Role of Strategy in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Positioning strategy as the bridge between governance and risk \n·         Scope of Strategic Disclosures \n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Practical Tools and Disclosure Techniques \n \n\n\nF.   Core Content: Metrics and Targets\n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions \n·         Cross-Industry Metrics \n·         Industry-Based Metrics \n·         Climate-Related Targets\n\n\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. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover course 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.

They provide minimum guidance to the Auditor that helps determine the extent of auditing steps and procedures that should be applied in the audit and constitute the criteria or yardstick against which the quality of audit results are evaluated. Conducting audits in accordance with standards gives necessary assurance to people making use of the financial statements and audit reports. \nLarge complex organizations typically require a more in-depth application of these full ISAs given their scope of business and applicability. 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. \nThe following topics will be covered:\n1. Introduction to ISA for Less Complex Entities\n• Background\n• The rationale for ISA for Less complex entities\n• Public interest overriding consideration \n2. Differences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs \n3. Core concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities\n• Fundamental Concepts\, General Principles and Overarching Requirements\n• Audit Evidence and Documentation\n• Engagement Quality Management\n• Acceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements\n• Planning\n• Risk Identification and Assessment\n• Responding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement\n• Concluding\n• Forming an Opinion and Reporting\n• Audits of Group Financial Statements \nTarget Audience:\nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:\n• Auditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).\n• Audit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.\n• Professionals involved in the development\, implementation\, and application of auditing standards for SMEs.\n• Accounting and auditing students who aim to specialize in auditing LCEs\n• Supervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\n• Mid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\n• Individuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover course fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nTarget Audience: \nThis course will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \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.

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) Cohort 1
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar cohort 1\nDate: 24th November   2025\nTime: 02.00pm-04.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1\, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000\, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms\, including tone at the top\, staff sensitization\, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies. \nBy the end of the webinar\, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently\, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity\, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n• Overview of the IESBA Code\n• The Conceptual Framework\n• Independence in Assurance Engagements\n• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice\n• Emerging Ethics Issues\n• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms \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 Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) cohort 3
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar – cohort 3\nDate: 3rd December  2025\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1\, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000\, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms\, including tone at the top\, staff sensitization\, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies. \nBy the end of the webinar\, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently\, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity\, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n• Overview of the IESBA Code\n• The Conceptual Framework\n• Independence in Assurance Engagements\n• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice\n• Emerging Ethics Issues\n• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms \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 Kshs. 1\,000.

ISA 200 presents the basic principles and related responsibilities underlying the auditor’s role when conducting an audit of financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.

Attention will be drawn to the auditor’s responsibilities relating to professional skepticism\, ethical compliance\, risk assessment\, and the application of sound professional judgement. Finally\, the discussion will explore how ISA 200 interfaces with broader quality management standards\, including the role of firm-level systems designed to support consistent performance of quality audits. There will also be practical insights to show how auditors can strengthen documentation\, manage engagement risk\, and ensure compliance in an increasingly complex financial reporting environment. \nBy convening practitioners\, audit managers\, and finance professionals\, the webinar seeks to further equip participants with state-of-the-art perspectives on the maintenance of audit quality and enhancing the reliability of financial statements. The session will also be a platform for sharing emerging challenges encountered in practice and discussing best practices that encourage rigorous\, efficient\, and compliant audit engagements.

SUMMARY:IFRS for SMEs (Third Edition) webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS for SMEs (Third Edition)\nDate: 5th February 2025\nTime: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nMode of Delivery: Virtual \nOverview \nThe IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard (Third Edition) was released by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in 2024 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with early application permitted. This revision represents the most substantial overhaul of the Standard since its inception\, incorporating updated principles from full IFRS and addressing the evolving reporting needs of small and medium-sized entities. Because SMEs form a significant share of Kenya’s economic fabric\, supporting more than 40 percent of the country’s GDP and employing the majority of the workforce\, it is essential that professional accountants fully understand the implications of these changes for financial reporting\, audit\, and advisory work. \nThe webinar seeks to enhance members’ technical capacity by providing an in-depth exploration of the key changes in the Third Edition. Participants will be introduced to updates related to revenue recognition\, financial instruments\, the expected credit loss model\, and refinements in measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements. The session will also explain why the IASB undertook the revision\, how the new edition aligns with full IFRS standards\, and what this means for both preparers and auditors serving SME clients. Special attention will be given to Kenya’s unique environment\, including the practical challenges SMPs and SMEs are likely to face as the new Standard comes into effect. \nThrough this event\, ICPAK aims to help members understand not only what has changed\, but why it matters. The webinar will unpack transition requirements and highlight the implications for compliance\, audit work\, documentation\, and quality control. Members will also have the opportunity to engage experts through a dedicated question-and-answer session\, enabling them to clarify technical issues and discuss practical implementation concerns. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants are expected to have strengthened their understanding of the Standard’s conceptual foundations and improved their ability to apply the updated requirements in real-world reporting scenarios. The session will contribute to more consistent\, transparent\, and decision-useful SME financial statements\, thereby promoting public confidence in the profession. It will also support practitioners in navigating audit implications\, advising SME clients on transition\, and identifying opportunities to enhance compliance and reporting quality. \nOverall\, this webinar will reinforce ICPAK’s commitment to strengthening professional competence and contributing to the successful national adoption and implementation of the IFRS for SMEs (Third Edition)\, ensuring that Kenyan accountants remain aligned with global reporting developments and best practice. \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.

SUMMARY:International Standard on Assurance Engagements- ISAE 3000 (Revised) webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Standard on Assurance Engagements- ISAE 3000 (Revised)\nDATE: 10th February 2026\nTIME: 4:00pm–6:00pm\nMode Of Delivery: Virtual \nOverview \nAs the demand for assurance in areas such as sustainability reporting\, internal control evaluations\, compliance reviews\, information systems\, and risk management continues to grow\, ISAE 3000 (Revised) has become an increasingly critical standard in both practice and industry. It provides the foundational principles and procedures for assurance engagements that do not involve audits or reviews of historical financial information\, making it essential for practitioners seeking to meet evolving stakeholder expectations in an environment of heightened transparency and accountability. \nThe webinar is intended to help members deepen their understanding of the Standard’s core requirements\, including ethical considerations\, quality management\, risk assessment\, evidence gathering\, documentation\, and assurance reporting. As Kenya and the broader global profession move toward expanded assurance especially in sustainability (including IFRS S1 and S2 assurance)\, ESG disclosures\, donor-funded projects\, regulatory compliance engagements\, and assurance over internal processes\, ISAE 3000 (Revised) is increasingly becoming the benchmark for credibility in non-financial assurance work. \nThrough this session\, ICPAK will provide participants with a practitioner-focused exploration of the Standard. The webinar will explain the distinctions between limited and reasonable assurance\, clarify the practical implications of the revised quality management requirements\, and demonstrate how ISAE 3000 (Revised) interacts with subject-matter specific standards such as ISSA 5000 (Greenhouse Gas Statements)\, ISAE 3420 (Assurance on Pro Forma Information)\, and the emerging sustainability assurance frameworks. Case examples will illustrate how the Standard applies in real practice scenarios\, including engagements common in Kenya such as fund accountability statements\, performance audits\, procurement compliance\, and sustainability reporting assurance. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of how to plan\, perform\, and report on an ISAE 3000 (Revised) engagement while maintaining professional skepticism\, complying with ethical requirements\, and ensuring robust documentation. The session will also highlight common pitfalls encountered by practitioners\, including issues related to obtaining suitable criteria\, identifying risks of misstatement in non-financial information\, agreeing the scope of work\, and managing client expectations regarding the level of assurance provided. \nOverall\, this webinar aligns with ICPAK’s commitment to advancing professional excellence and supporting its members as the scope of the assurance profession expands. By strengthening understanding of ISAE 3000 (Revised)\, the Institute will contribute to improved quality\, consistency\, and credibility in Kenya’s non-financial assurance landscape\, positioning members to seize emerging opportunities in sustainability\, governance\, compliance\, and risk assurance. \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. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking \nWe call on interested participants to note that booking for the event is available online at www.icpak.com  and will close two hours before the training session. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

Non-compliance exposes organizations to financial penalties\, reputational risks\, and operational disruption. Accountants\, tax practitioners\, auditors\, and finance managers therefore play a critical role in safeguarding compliance\, advising on strategic tax planning\, and supporting overall organizational decision-making. \nThe Tax Principles & Compliance Workshop has been designed to equip participants with practical knowledge\, technical skills\, and actionable insights for effective tax management. Through a combination of technical instruction\, interactive exercises\, real-world scenarios\, and practical case studies\, participants will explore key aspects of domestic taxation\, corporate and personal tax obligations\, indirect taxes\, tax audits\, dispute resolution\, and ethical tax practice. The workshop also introduces participants to digital tax tools\, emerging trends\, and strategic considerations in integrating tax functions with organizational objectives. \nThe program emphasizes the accountant’s role as a strategic partner\, ensuring that taxation aligns with corporate governance\, compliance\, and long-term planning. Participants will gain practical insights into best practices for filing\, reporting\, audit preparation\, dispute management\, and leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and accuracy. The course also reinforces ethical standards and professional responsibility in tax practice\, supporting transparency\, accountability\, and stakeholder confidence. \nIn this regard\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this workshop to equip participants with practical skills\, insights\, and tools to function as proactive Tax Champions\, capable of influencing governance\, strategic decision-making\, and enterprise tax management at all levels. By the end of this two-day program\, participants will be prepared to manage complex tax issues\, ensure compliance with Kenyan tax laws\, implement practical strategies\, and contribute to organizational efficiency\, transparency\, and value creation. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\nStrengthen knowledge of evolving tax reforms: Enhance understanding of global and regional tax developments such as OECD BEPS and digital taxation and their relevance to Kenya and other developing economies.\nUnderstand domestic tax policy impacts: Examine the effects of recent tax law changes on individuals\, businesses\, and public finance sustainability in Kenya.

SUMMARY:THE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSASB
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSAB\nDATE: 16th to 20th February 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVENUE: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha\nTheme: IPSAS Accrual Reporting: Lessons\, Challenges\, and Practical Improvements after the First Year \nOVERVIEW \nOver the past several years\, many public sector entities have undertaken significant public financial management reforms aimed at enhancing transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. A central pillar of these reforms has been the transition from cash or modified cash accounting frameworks to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis. \nRecently\, a large number of entities have successfully completed their first full year of IPSAS Accrual financial reporting. This milestone represents a major institutional achievement\, reflecting extensive efforts in policy development\, systems configuration\, data migration\, asset verification\, staff training\, and change management. However\, international experience and local practice consistently demonstrate that the first year of accrual reporting is primarily a learning and stabilization phase\, rather than a point of full technical maturity. \nDuring first-year implementation\, preparers often focus on meeting statutory deadlines and achieving basic compliance\, sometimes at the expense of depth\, consistency\, and optimal application of professional judgment. As a result\, first-year IPSAS Accrual financial statements frequently exhibit common challenges\, including: \n\nIncomplete or unreliable opening balances\nInconsistent application of recognition and measurement principles\nWeak linkage between accounting policies and actual transactions\nOver-reliance on transitional exemptions and pragmatic shortcuts\nDisclosure gaps and boilerplate notes that do not fully explain financial position or performance\nRecurrent audit queries and qualifications linked to valuation\, consolidation\, and revenue recognition\n\nFurthermore\, the transition to IPSAS Accrual significantly expands the scope and complexity of financial reporting. Preparers are required to account for assets\, liabilities\, provisions\, non-exchange transactions\, and financial instruments that were previously unrecognized or only partially disclosed. This shift places heavy demands on professional judgment\, interdepartmental coordination\, and the quality of underlying data\, areas that typically remain underdeveloped in the first reporting cycle. \nAt the same time\, expectations from auditors\, oversight institutions\, development partners\, and the public increase sharply after the first year. Stakeholders anticipate not just technical compliance\, but demonstrable improvement in the credibility\, consistency\, and decision-usefulness of financial statements. Preparers are therefore under pressure to move beyond “first-time adoption mode” and begin embedding IPSAS Accrual into routine financial management processes. \nAgainst this backdrop\, there is a clear need for a post–first-year\, practice-focused capacity-building intervention. Rather than reintroducing IPSAS from first principles\, this course is intentionally designed to help preparers: \n\nReflect critically on their first-year reporting experience\nDiagnose recurring weaknesses and root causes\nAddress audit findings and strengthen documentation\nImprove judgments\, estimates\, and disclosures\nBuild confidence for second-year and subsequent reporting cycles\n\nThis course recognizes that high-quality IPSAS Accrual reporting is achieved progressively\, through iterative learning\, peer exchange\, and continuous improvement. By anchoring the training on real challenges encountered in the first year of reporting\, the course supports public sector entities in transitioning from initial compliance to robust\, sustainable\, and value-enhancing accrual-based financial reporting. \nTopics to be covered will include: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nReflections on the First Year of IPSAS Accrual

SUMMARY:THE 8th BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE MASTERCLASS
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 8th BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE MASTERCLASS\nTheme: Transforming Audit Committees into Engines of Organizational Transformation\nDate: 16th -20thFebruary 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nThe corporate landscape is undergoing its most profound transformation yet. Regulatory expectations are tightening\, stakeholders are demanding greater transparency\, technology is reshaping business models\, and economic uncertainty is testing organizational endurance. In the midst of these shifts\, one governance organ has become indispensable to organizational stability and strategic foresight—the Audit Committee. Its mandate has expanded far beyond reviewing financial statements; it now plays a decisive role in safeguarding institutional integrity\, strengthening risk culture\, and anchoring long-term resilience. \nYet\, even with their growing prominence\, the performance of Audit Committees in Kenya remains mixed. Many committees continue to grapple with limited independence\, insufficient technical support\, and mandates that are not fully aligned to the realities of modern governance. These gaps constrain their ability to deliver high-impact oversight. A truly effective Audit Committee must be grounded in strong leadership\, deep governance insight\, and a firm grasp of the assurance ecosystem spanning internal audit\, external audit\, risk management\, and compliance. \nExpectations placed on Audit Committees today are higher than ever. Beyond reviewing compliance\, committees are now expected to be forward-looking advisors—providing strategic guidance\, anticipating emerging threats\, reinforcing internal controls\, and cultivating ethical and accountable cultures. Achieving this shift requires members who are agile\, analytically strong\, and well-versed in the transformative potential of data\, technology\, and modern assurance practices. Only then can they identify vulnerabilities early\, navigate disruptions with confidence\, and support management in building sustainable financial and operational systems. \nTo remain influential and future-ready\, Audit Committees must embrace agility and continuous development. This involves staying current with governance trends\, undertaking regular charter reviews\, carrying out committee performance assessments\, and strengthening teamwork and collegiality. Committees must also invest deliberately in member development to sharpen oversight capabilities. These elements are essential to repositioning Audit Committees as proactive engines of organizational resilience—committees that do not simply observe risk but actively shape the institution’s capacity to withstand and thrive through uncertainty. \nA future-ready Audit Committee requires mastery of critical domains such as risk governance\, internal audit effectiveness\, compliance oversight\, cybersecurity readiness\, ESG accountability\, and performance monitoring. Strengthening these competencies transforms Audit Committees into influential strategic partners who inspire trust\, drive value\, and guide organizations with steadiness through shifting economic and technological landscapes. \nTo support this transformation\, ICPAK presents the 7th Audit Committee Masterclass—a five-day intensive program designed to elevate the impact of Audit Committees in Kenya. With a blend of case-based learning\, expert-led discussions\, and practical governance insights\, the Masterclass will unpack what works\, what fails\, and what must evolve for effective oversight. Participants will explore audit strategy\, risk oversight\, assurance coordination\, boardroom dynamics\, and emerging issues shaping today’s audit environment. The program also offers rich opportunities for peer learning and networking across public and private sectors\, fostering collaboration and shared excellence. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Audit Committee Competence: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   The evolving role of the Audit Committee\n1.    Understanding the modern governance environment \n2.    Redefining the audit committee mandate \n3.    Strengthening independence\, structure and board level influence \n \n·         The shifting governance landscape: global\, regional\, and Kenyan context \n·         Expanding roles and expectations of Audit Committees in modern organizations \n·         Understanding independence: structural\, operational\, and behavioural independence \n·         Strengthening the relationship between the Audit Committee\, Board\, CEO\, and Internal Audit \n·         Governance failures and lessons for Audit Committees \n·         How Audit Committees drive ethical culture and institutional integrity\n\n\nDAY 2\nB.   Risk governance & resilience building \n1.    Role of Audit Committee in enterprise risk oversight \n2.    Emerging risks: technology\, cybersecurity and geopolitical trends and ESG \n3.    Building a strong organizational risk culture \n \n·         Enterprise Risk Management (ERM): role of the Audit Committee \n·         Identifying\, assessing\, and prioritizing emerging risks \n·         Oversight of cybersecurity and digital transformation risks \n·         Understanding ESG-related risks (environmental\, social\, governance) \n·         Strengthening risk culture across the organization \n·         Crisis preparedness and response: Audit Committee’s role in resilience planning\n\n\nDAY 3\nC.   Strengthening internal audit & assurance functions \n1.    Enhancing internal audit effectiveness \n2.    Coordinating internal audit\, external audit and compliance \n3.    Reviewing audit strategies\, work plans and reports \n  \n \n·         Evaluating the adequacy and independence of the Internal Audit function \n·         Reviewing internal audit plans\, resources\, and capability needs \n·         Monitoring effectiveness of external audit and auditor independence \n·         Aligning internal audit\, external audit\, and compliance for coherent assurance \n·         Understanding audit quality indicators and improving reporting outcomes \n·         Oversight of investigations\, whistleblowing\, and ethical breaches\n\n\nDAY 4 \nD.   Technology\, Data & modern oversight practices \n1.    Leveraging data analytics for better oversight \n2.    Cybersecurity and digital transformation risks \n3.    ESG\, ethics and compliance expectations for Audit Committees \n \n·         Using data analytics to strengthen audit oversight \n·         Oversight of automation\, AI\, and digital transformation initiatives \n·         Protecting organizational assets in a cyber-risk environment \n·         Modernizing internal control systems with technology \n·         Audit Committee’s role in ESG reporting and sustainability assurance \n·         Ensuring compliance with new regulatory and industry standards \n \n\n\nDAY 5\nE.   Future – Proofing your Audit committee and moving forward \n1.    Building a future-ready and high performing Audit Committee \n  \n \n1.    Building a high-impact\, future-ready Audit Committee \n \n\n\n\nTarget Audience: \nAudit Committee Members\, Chairpersons of Audit Committees\, Chief Internal Auditors\, Chief Audit Executives\, Internal Auditors\, CEOs\, Senior Management\, Aspiring Audit Committee Members\, Members of Board of Directors of corporations\, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs\, \nYour investment: \nThis Master Class shall be provided at a cost of KSh.95\,000. \nContinuous Professional Development Units: \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the Master Class. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on all participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and it 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 \, you can also reach us through marketing@icpak.com \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.
