It plays a central role in shaping the quality of oversight\, the accuracy of financial reporting\, and the robustness of governance structures.

These standards provide a unified global framework that reinforces ethical conduct\, independence\, objectivity\, and quality assurance—positioning internal audit as a strategic function that enhances resilience\, strengthens stakeholder confidence\, and safeguards long-term value.

SUMMARY:The IFRS Seminar-mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nThe IFRS Seminar (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 25th – 26th March 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme: Promoting Integrity and Comparability in Financial & Sustainability Reporting \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe global financial reporting landscape continues to rapidly change with the ongoing drive for greater regulatory scrutiny\, technological transformation and calls for transparent and comparable information. The International Financial Reporting Standards remain at the core of promoting high-quality financial reporting\, and professionals must remain updated on new standards\, amendments and challenges in implementation. The virtual symposium is therefore structured to attain current comprehensions of IFRS requirements that would ensure that participants maintain competence in an environment in which accuracy and compliance are not open to negotiation. \nIFRS has been subject to significant updates lately\, including new guidance on financial instruments\, revenue\, leases\, sustainability disclosures and insurance contracts. In fact\, the updated standards have far-reaching implications on recognition\, measurement\, presentation and disclosure. The symposium will provide practical insights into how to navigate these complex standards\, emerging issues associated with fair value measurement\, impairment assessments and financial risk disclosures\, along with integration of sustainability information under IFRS S1 & S2. \nThe increasing demands of the profession go hand in hand with expectations for professional judgment to be exercised and consistency to be maintained in financial reporting\, amidst the ever-evolving business models and sophisticated transactions.

SUMMARY:Income Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar -mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIncome Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar-Mandatory Training\nDate: 8th – 9th April 2026\nTime: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nMode of Delivery: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe ever-changing economic environment\, bearing on the Government’s imperatives for revenue\, coupled with changes in the global tax environment and advances in the use of technology to administer taxes\, continues to redefine the taxation environment in Kenya. The recently enacted amendments to income tax and indirect tax laws have greatly impacted the way business\, individuals\, and professionals perform their financial reporting and compliance obligations. As the Kenyan government increases its tempo in implementing tax reforms to raise revenue mobilization\, especially from domestic sources\, taxpayers are increasingly required to demonstrate unprecedented levels of tax literacy\, compliance\, and moral obligation. In this respect\, targeted capacity building for accounting and finance professionals is increasingly warranted to equip them with updated knowledge and practical insights into the changing tax framework. \nICPAK intends to hold a seminar that brings together tax practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, policymakers\, and industry players to discuss emerging developments in income and indirect taxes. The forum will enable review of recent changes in legislation\, administrative guidelines\, judicial decisions\, and best practices on how to plan for and comply with taxes. It shall also provide participants with an opportunity to discuss with experts’ practical challenges that affect business pertaining to\, among other areas\, tax risk management\, tax audits\, digital taxation\, cross-border taxation challenges\, and the shifting landscape of tax policy relative to business sustainability and economic growth. \nOne key focus will be the recent changes in tax legislation. The seminar will also dig into the complex topic of transfer pricing\, focusing on the impact of these regulations on multinational corporations and how businesses can align their policies with international guidelines such as the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) framework. Participants will receive practical guidance on managing transfer pricing risks and ensuring compliance with global standards. \nIn addition to income tax\, the seminar will cover key issues in indirect taxes\, starting with the evolving landscape of Value Added Tax (VAT). The session will address the latest updates in VAT regulations\, compliance and opportunities for businesses to manage VAT refunds and audits effectively. Further discussions will cover the administration of excise taxes\, particularly in light of emerging trends in digital goods and services\, as well as the broader impact of excise duties on business profitability. \nThis seminar will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of income and indirect taxes while ensuring compliance and identifying tax planning opportunities. \nTarget Audience \nThis virtual symposium will be useful to all professional Accountants and other professionals interested in taxation.    \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th – 18th June 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAs global expectations for transparency and accountability continue to rise\, organizations are increasingly required to demonstrate credible performance on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) matters. Sustainability assurance has therefore become essential in strengthening stakeholder confidence by enhancing the reliability and quality of sustainability-related disclosures. With the rapid adoption of sustainability reporting frameworks and the alignment of financial and non-financial information\, professionals must deepen their understanding of the evolving assurance landscape. \nThe shift toward standardized sustainability reporting\, especially with the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, alongside established frameworks such as GRI\, SASB and local regulatory requirements\, has created a need for consistent application and interpretation. These frameworks provide the structure for identifying material ESG issues\, defining reporting boundaries and ensuring comparability across organizations and industries. \nClimate-related disclosures have emerged as integral to sustainability reporting. Accordingly\, understanding Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions become increasingly important as an entity measures and reports on its environmental impact. Accurate measurement and disclosure of emissions are increasingly linked to both financial reporting and enterprise risk management-factors that make this an area of significant focus during sustainability assurance engagements. \nHigh-quality ESG assurance requires quality internal controls\, reliable data systems\, and robust verification procedures. Practitioners should keep in mind the special challenges that arise when assessing ESG risks\, testing control environments\, and gathering evidence during limited or reasonable assurance engagements\, which are different from those encountered in traditional financial audits. The effective collection of data\, proper structuring of documentation\, and rigorous processes for verification are very important for credible sustainability reporting to the expectations of regulators and investors and wider stakeholders. \nThe workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following: \nOverview of Sustainability Assurance \n\nThe purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.\nThe role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.\nHow sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.\nKey drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance\n\n Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks \n\nGlobal frameworks: GRI\, SASB\, ISSB\, IFRS S1 & S2.\nLocal sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.\nAlignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.\nEmerging disclosure requirements for climate\, social\, and governance metrics.\n\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting \n\nUnderstanding Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions.\nRelevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.\nGHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).\nTransition risks\, climate scenarios\, and their impact on disclosures.\n\nSustainability Assurance Engagements \n\nUnpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000\nTypes of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.\nKey procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.\nIndependence\, ethical requirements\, and assurance provider qualifications.\nCommon challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.\n\nData Collection\, Verification\, and Reporting \n\nBest practices for ESG data collection and quality control.\nVerification techniques and third-party assurance.\nData governance\, documentation\, and internal record-keeping standards.\nUse of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.\n\nESG Risk Management and Internal Controls \n\nIntegrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.\nEnsuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.\nDesigning internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.\nMonitoring\, evaluation\, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE \nDate: 22nd – 24th July 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe retirement benefits industry in Kenya is operating within an increasingly complex and demanding environment. Structural demographic changes\, including increasing longevity and a growing retired population\, are exerting pressure on scheme funding and benefit sustainability. At the same time\, market volatility\, inflation uncertainty and evolving investment landscapes are challenging traditional asset allocation strategies. Trustees and scheme management are required to balance long-term liabilities with short-term liquidity needs while maintaining prudence\, transparency and regulatory compliance. \nIn parallel\, the regulatory and professional expectations placed on pension schemes continue to expand. Actuarial valuations are subject to heightened scrutiny\, funding shortfalls demand credible recovery plans\, and financial reporting must faithfully reflect scheme solvency\, investment performance and member entitlements. Emerging risks\, particularly climate change\, ESG stewardship obligations\, cyber threats and data integrity issues are no longer peripheral considerations but central components of fiduciary duty. \nAgainst this backdrop\, ICPAK has developed this inaugural three-day training designed to move beyond theory and address the most difficult\, practical challenges facing retirement benefit schemes. The programme is structured to equip trustees\, finance teams and service providers with actionable tools to strengthen governance\, improve funding decisions\, align investments with liabilities\, and respond effectively to emerging risks that threaten long-term member outcomes. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nThe Role of Accounting in Pension Governance and Fiduciary Oversight \n \n·         Position of the accountant within the retirement benefits ecosystem \n·         How financial information supports trustee decision-making and accountability \n·         Link between accounting\, fiduciary duty and member protection \n·         Regulatory expectations on financial stewardship of pension assets \n·         Common financial reporting weaknesses observed in pension schemes \n \n\n\nAccounting for Pension Liabilities and Actuarial Valuations \n \n·         Relationship between actuarial valuation reports and financial statements \n·         Accounting implications of actuarial assumptions (discount rates\, inflation\, mortality) \n·         Treatment of surpluses and deficits in pension scheme accounts \n·         Sensitivity analysis and disclosure of key actuarial judgments \n·         Impact of funding position on going concern and financial sustainability assessments \n \n\n\nPreparation and Disclosure of Pension Scheme Financial Statements\n·         Application of IAS 26 and relevant IFRS requirements to pension schemes \n·         Accounting for contributions\, benefits payable and benefit payments \n·         Investment income recognition and expense classification \n·         Fair value measurement and disclosure requirements \n·         Related party transactions\, contingencies and subsequent events \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nInvestment Accounting\, Valuation and Performance Reporting\n·         Accounting treatment of listed and unlisted investments \n·         Fair value hierarchy and valuation techniques for pension assets \n·         Property\, private equity and alternative investment accounting \n·         Impairment considerations and income recognition \n·         Reporting investment performance in financial statements and trustee reports \n \n\n\nUnderstanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, trustees\, and auditors \n \n\n\nGeneral Requirements \n \n·         Sources of Guidance \n·         Location of Disclosures \n·         Timing of reporting \n·         Comparative information \n·         Statement of Compliance \n·         Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \n·         Best practices in data collection \n·         Building capacity within the organization \n·         Transition Reliefs\n\n\nDAY 3\nIdentifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments \n·\n\n\nSelecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n \n\n\nGHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course will be useful to professional accountants and those aspiring the profession. \nFINANCIAL INVESTMENT  \nThe conference  charges are Ksh 10\,000 per delegate for both members and non-members. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. \nDelegates 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:Audit Quality Assurance Workshop-mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Quality Assurance Workshop – Mandatory Training\nDate: 22nd-23rd July 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm daily\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme: Strengthening Audit Quality for Public Trust & Professional Excellence \n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAudit Quality Assurance remains the cornerstone of public confidence in financial reporting and the credibility of the accounting profession. In Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly demanding environment characterized by heightened regulatory oversight\, frequent quality inspections\, complex reporting frameworks\, expanded stakeholder expectations\, and growing exposure to litigation and reputational risk. These realities place audit quality not just as a technical requirement\, but as a strategic professional imperative. \nDespite significant regulatory progress and the adoption of international auditing and quality management standards\, inspection findings and practice reviews continue to reveal persistent gaps in key areas such as audit planning\, risk assessment\, documentation quality\, use of professional judgment\, audit evidence\, ethical compliance\, and firm-level quality management systems. Many practitioners still grapple with balancing commercial pressures\, client expectations\, independence requirements\, and the need for consistent\, high-quality audit execution. \nIn the Kenyan context\, auditors must also contend with complex public sector engagements\, evolving corporate governance standards\, procurement-driven audit risks\, and weak internal control environments in some institutions. These dynamics heighten exposure to audit failure\, fraud risk\, and regulatory sanctions—underscoring the urgent need for continuous professional upskilling focused on practical audit quality assurance. \nThis 2-Day Virtual Audit Quality Assurance Symposium is therefore designed as a focused\, practical\, and capacity-building forum to strengthen the foundations of audit quality in Kenya. It will address the entire audit quality value chain—from engagement acceptance\, planning\, and risk assessment to execution\, reporting\, ethics\, and firm-wide quality management. The symposium will also emphasize regulatory expectations\, inspection readiness\, and proactive quality control as essential components of sustainable audit practice. \nThrough practitioner-led discussions\, regulatory insights\, case studies\, and experience-sharing\, participants will be equipped with practical tools\, renewed professional judgment\, and structured quality assurance approaches to enhance consistency\, reduce audit failure risk\, and reinforce compliance with international standards. Ultimately\, the symposium seeks to reposition audit quality as a professional culture—not merely a compliance obligation—anchored in integrity\, competence\, and accountability. \n\nAudit Quality as a Professional Culture\n\n\nPositioning audit quality beyond compliance into a firm-wide culture anchored on integrity\, objectivity\, and public interest responsibility.\n\n\nRisk-Based Audit Planning & Professional Judgment\n\n\nStrengthening auditors’ capacity to conduct robust risk assessments\, exercise sound professional judgment\, and design responsive audit strategies in complex and high-risk environments.\n\n\nAudit Execution\, Evidence & Documentation Excellence\n\n\nEnhancing the quality of audit testing\, audit evidence sufficiency\, and documentation standards to meet regulatory inspection expectations and withstand legal and professional scrutiny.\n\n\nEthics\, Independence & Managing Commercial Pressures\n\n\nReinforcing ethical compliance\, independence safeguards\, and conflict management amidst client pressure\, competition\, advocacy threats\, and economic constraints.\n\n\nFirm-Level Quality Management Systems (ISQM 1 & 2)\n\n\nPractical implementation of Quality Management Systems at the firm and engagement partner level\, focusing on leadership responsibility\, engagement quality reviews\, monitoring\, and continuous improvement.\n\n\nRegulatory Expectations\, Inspections & Practice Review Readiness\n\n\nPreparing practitioners for ICPAK and external regulator inspections through proactive quality controls\, common inspection findings\, remediation strategies\, and sustainable compliance approaches.\n\nTarget Audience  \nThe virtual symposium is not limited to accountancy only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:THE PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR-with National Treasury and PSASB
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR (with National Treasury & PSASB)\nTheme: Forging a resilient economy: Navigating Accrual Transition\, Climate Realities\, and broader economic imperatives in Kenya\nDate: 3rd-7th August 2026 \nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Pride Inn Paradise Resort\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nKenya’s public financial management stands at a defining crossroads. As the nation accelerates its transition to full accrual-based IPSAS reporting with first accrual statements expected for FY 2025/26 and full compliance by June 2027\, public sector accountants\, treasurers\, auditors\, and policymakers face unprecedented opportunities and responsibilities. \nMounting public debt pressures considered sustainable but at high risk of distress\, escalating climate vulnerabilities\, digital transformation in PFM systems\, and the urgent demand for transparent\, citizen-centric governance require more than technical compliance. They demand visionary leadership that balances fiscal prudence with bold investments in sustainability\, equity\, and long-term national resilience. \nThis seminar moves beyond rote standard application to ignite transformative thinking. Participants will explore how accrual accounting can unlock better asset management\, liability recognition\, and decision-making while confronting real-world challenges: debt sustainability amid global shocks\, climate-related fiscal risks\, green public financial management\, and the ethical imperative of intergenerational equity. \nThrough dynamic sessions\, practical case studies from Kenya’s ongoing reforms (including IFMIS re-engineering\, new IPSAS adoptions\, and sustainability-linked financing)\, and forward-looking dialogues\, attendees will gain actionable insights to strengthen transparency\, combat inefficiencies\, and position public finances as engines of inclusive growth. \nThe seminar is more than professional development; it is a call to stewardship. By the end\, participants will leave equipped with updated knowledge\, practical tools\, enhanced leadership capabilities\, and a renewed commitment to building a public finance ecosystem that serves today’s citizens without mortgaging tomorrow’s future. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following four days covering various aspects: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY

SUMMARY:Financial Services Sector Conference 2026

As financial institutions adapt to new prudential guidelines\, AML/CFT requirements\, and data protection laws\, professionals must remain informed of the latest compliance developments shaping the industry. Strengthening regulatory understanding is essential for ensuring stability\, enhancing transparency and supporting public trust in the financial ecosystem. \nFinancial reporting within the financial services sector has also grown increasingly complex with the expanded application of accounting and sustainability-related reporting standards. These changes require accountants and auditors to navigate advanced measurement models\, disclosure obligations\, and assurance considerations unique to banks\, insurers and capital market entities. The conference will explore practical challenges in technical financial reporting aspects and audit quality for regulated institutions to enhance compliance and consistency in financial reporting. \nAt the same time\, the sector faces heightened expectations around risk management and corporate governance. Emerging risks such as cyber threats\, fraud\, operational weaknesses and market volatility demand robust enterprise risk management frameworks and strengthened governance structures. The conference will highlight governance trends\, board oversight responsibilities\, internal control effectiveness and the evolving risk landscape that institutions must navigate in a digital economy. \nThe role of technology\, fintech\, sustainability and taxation continue to reshape sector priorities. Digital banking\, mobile money\, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity resilience are transforming service delivery and regulatory supervision. Additionally\, institutions are increasingly integrating ESG factors\, climate-related disclosures\, and green financing into strategic decision-making. Important tax considerations\, including VAT\, excise duty\, digital services taxation and transfer pricing\, also continue to influence operations.
