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:ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION\nTheme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit\, tax and advisory engagements\nDate: 12th – 14th August 2026\nTime: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe accountancy profession has undergone significant developments and experienced a lot of evolution over the past few years.  In recent years\, the global accounting profession has undergone significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements\, evolving regulatory frameworks\, increasing stakeholder expectations\, and the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethics. The audit environment has particularly experienced tremendous developments arising from the effect of new emerging and stringent regulations and standards among other social and economic developments.  This has also happened to the other areas of the profession which has necessitated the change of approach and tact in delivering professional accountancy engagements\, to align with rapid developments in technology\, geopolitical risks and stringent regulations. \nIn this dynamic environment\, audit practitioners\, tax professionals\, management consultants\, and accounting practitioners must remain agile and well-informed to maintain professional competence and deliver value to clients and stakeholders. This makes it imperative for practitioners to continually update their knowledge and skills in key emerging areas such as sustainability reporting and assurance\, artificial intelligence (AI)\, blockchain technology\, and Anti-Money Laundering Policies. \nIn Kenya\, we have witnessed growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators\, boards\, and the investing public following reported major frauds affecting the public such as KUSCCO and OAG reports on county expenditure. Practitioners consequently must shift towards risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance\, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Furthermore\, practitioners are today expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities\, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. Practitioners are also faced with challenges revolving around compliance with regulations such as KRA\, SASRA\, RBA and AML. \nAs practitioners face expanding roles and increased public scrutiny\, soft skills such as communication\, leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and client management are no longer optional; they are critical enablers of success. This forum is therefore designed not only to advance technical mastery but also to empower audit professionals to lead with confidence\, integrity\, and agility in today’s complex assurance landscape. \nIt is against this background that the Institute has organized a three-day forum to discuss these critical developments which affect the practitioners in the different categories of practice\, and the accountancy profession at large and seek to address the rising concerns of work quality while ensuring that efficiency in undertaking engagements is maintained.  The Annual Practitioners Convention aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing\, professional development\, and networking among Practitioners. The convention will focus on equipping practitioners with the latest insights and practical tools to enhance their service delivery in an increasingly complex business environment. The following topics will guide the discussions in the Convention: \nTOPICS \n\nGlobal trends in utilization of technology within the accountancy practice\nFuture Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade\nState of the accountancy profession in Africa- Trends for accountants in practice within various jurisdictions\nShifting landscape for practicing accountants: Utilization of technology for competitive advantage– AI\, Blockchain\, Audit Software\nOverview of the Unique Document Identification Number (UDIN)- Milestones and Opportunities\nAnti-Money Laundering and the Expanding Role of Auditors:\n\n\nAML Compliance by practitioners.\nAML frameworks and audit procedures for detecting red flags.\nEvaluating compliance with reporting obligations under AML laws.\nAuditor’s responsibilities in relation to reporting suspicious transactions.\n\n\nImplementation of firm and engagement level quality considerations – an in-depth assessment of the ISQM 1 and 2 requirements; ISA 220\nAudit approach and evaluation of audit considerations in line with changing standards- A focus on ISA 315 and ISA 500\nOverview of the taxation landscape and changing laws and the implications to practitioners\nOverview of the developments within the standard setting environment – international financial reporting standards\nOverview of the revised IFRS for SMEs\nAdvantages and approaches of adopting ISA for Less Complex Entities for Small & Medium Practices (SMPs) in Kenya\nGearing up for Sustainability Assurance for Practitioners In Kenya- Key Requirements and Way Forward\nSetting up of a firm and submitting winning bids- Positioning practitioners for success through development of responsive proposals\nKey findings of the Audit Quality Reviews – Major concerns and practical responses to the issues.\nFirm records management best practice guidelines and effective compliance to standards on reporting\nMental health for accounting practitioners during busy seasons\nSuccession planning for SMPs\nOverview of services rendered under the four categories of licenses and the practitioner’s tool kit;\n\n\nOverview of tools and methodologies from IFAC & PAFA \nChallenges and Opportunities for Small and Medium Practices – SMPs\n\nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the Conference sessions. \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nPrivate and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Tax Experts\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Extractive and SMEs sector accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in County Governments and private sectors\, Academia\, employees of the NPO Sector. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \n\n     2.     Delegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements \nONLINE BOOKING: \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the seminar is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking .

SUMMARY:THE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Tax Practice in a High-Enforcement Era: Preparedness\, Data and Accountability”.\nDATE: 14TH – 18TH SEPTEMBER 2026\nVENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA MOMBASA\nTIME: 09.00AM – 03.30PM\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nTax practice has entered a decisive enforcement phase in which understanding tax law is no longer sufficient on its own. Across the globe\, revenue authorities are shifting from compliance-oriented engagement to assertive\, technology-enabled enforcement models that emphasize data interrogation\, real-time reporting\, and retrospective scrutiny of tax positions. The implementation stage of global reforms\, particularly under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework and BEPS Pillar II\, has intensified audit activity and increased exposure to penalties\, adjustments\, and reputational risk for both taxpayers and their advisors. \nIn Kenya\, this shift is increasingly evident. Successive Finance Acts\, the expansion of electronic invoicing through eTIMS\, enhanced third-party data integration\, and a more aggressive audit posture by the Kenya Revenue Authority have fundamentally changed how compliance is assessed and enforced. Tax audits are now faster\, more data-driven\, and less reliant on negotiated outcomes. County governments\, facing growing fiscal pressure\, are also strengthening own-source revenue enforcement\, introducing an additional layer of compliance and dispute risk for businesses and professionals alike. \nAs enforcement intensity rises\, the role of the tax professional is being redefined. Practitioners are now expected to design and defend tax positions capable of withstanding deep forensic scrutiny\, manage electronic evidence trails\, respond to simultaneous national and county audits\, and guide clients through complex dispute and litigation processes. At the same time\, heightened enforcement has amplified ethical pressure\, professional liability exposure\, and reputational risk\, particularly where aggressive tax planning\, documentation weaknesses\, or governance failures are involved. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the 14th Annual Tax Convention is deliberately positioned as an advanced\, practice-oriented forum focused on enforcement realities rather than policy theory. The Convention will examine how tax laws are applied in practice\, how audits are conducted\, how disputes unfold\, and how professionals can protect both their clients and themselves in an increasingly unforgiving regulatory environment. Through technical sessions\, real-world case analysis\, and regulatory perspectives\, participants will gain practical insights into audit readiness\, defensibility\, dispute management\, and ethical decision-making under pressure. \nKey Coverage Areas of the 14th Tax Convention \nThe 14th Annual Tax Convention will delve into the following topical areas among others \nTheme 1: Tax Policy in a Data-Driven Era \n\nUpdate on the implementation of the National Tax Policy\nHarnessing Data to Expand the Tax Base Without Increasing Tax Rates\nThe New Face of Tax Audits: Data Analytics\, Automation\, and Real-Time Enforcement\nManaging Audit Risk through the Lens of the Finance Act 2026: Default Assessments\, anti-avoidance provisions and prepopulated returns\n\nTheme 2: Defensibility\, Evidence\, and Audit Readiness \n\nBuilding Defensible Tax Positions: Documentation\, Professional Judgement\, and Risk Assessment\n\n\nElectronic Evidence\, eTIMS Data\, and Transaction Reconstruction in Tax Audits\n\nTheme 3: Advanced International Tax and Transfer Pricing \n\nBEPS Pillar II in Practice: Compliance Failures\, Data Gaps\, and Enforcement Risks\nTransfer Pricing Audits: Trends\, Red Flags\, and Defense Strategies\nRegional integration and investment in Africa: The place of EAC on the global solutions implementation\n\nTheme 4: Disputes\, Litigation\, and Multi-Level Tax Risk \n\nManaging Tax Disputes from Assessment to Appeal: Practical Strategies\nCounty Own-Source Revenue Enforcement: Legal Risk\, Compliance\, and Litigation\n\nTheme 5: Accountability\, Ethics\, and Professional Survival \n\nEthics and Independence Under Pressure: Managing Client Expectations and Regulatory Scrutiny\n\n\nProfessional Liability\, Sanctions\, and Reputational Risk in Tax Practice\nTax Governance and Board Accountability: Strengthening Oversight in High-Enforcement Environments\n\nANNUAL TAX CONVENTION OBJECTIVES  \nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\nAnalyse the evolving tax enforcement environment in Kenya\, the region\, and globally\, and assess its implications for tax advisory and compliance practice.\nBuild and document defensible tax positions capable of withstanding data-driven audits and regulatory scrutiny.\n\n\nApply advanced skills in audit readiness\, electronic evidence management\, and transaction reconstruction\, particularly in the context of eTIMS and digital records.\n\n\nNavigate tax disputes and litigation more effectively\, including managing assessments\, objections\, appeals\, and negotiations with revenue authorities.\nInterpret and implement BEPS Pillar II and international tax rules with a focus on compliance risk\, penalties\, and enforcement exposure.\nStrengthen competence in transfer pricing audits\, including documentation standards\, red-flag identification\, and defence strategies.\n\n\nEvaluate emerging county and sub-national tax enforcement risks and manage overlapping national and county tax obligations.\nIntegrate ESG\, carbon taxation\, and sustainability obligations into tax practice with an appreciation of enforcement and disclosure risk.\n\n\nUphold ethical judgment\, independence\, and professional integrity under heightened regulatory\, commercial\, and reputational pressure.\nEnhance professional resilience by understanding personal liability\, sanctions\, and reputational risk associated with modern tax practice.\nSupport continuous professional development through advanced\, practice-oriented\, CPD-certified learning aligned with current enforcement realities.\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE  \nThis training is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration.

SUMMARY:Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nMeasuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical\nDate: 17th – 18th September 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: CPA Centre \nOverview \nThere is increased pressure from regulators\, investors\, financiers\, and other stakeholders for organizations across all sectors to measure\, manage\, and transparently report their GHG emissions. With increasing mainstreaming of climate-related disclosures\, the need for professionals who can apply the GHG accounting principles practically\, as set out in recognized global frameworks\, cannot be over-emphasized. This practical course will focus on the development of hands-on capacity to measure\, calculate\, document\, and report GHG emissions for Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3. The course will bridge the gap between theory and practice by focusing on real-life organizational scenarios\, sector-specific emission sources\, and practical calculations that align with international best practice. \nWith the gradual evolution of sustainability reporting\, it is increasingly expected of entities to report their carbon footprint in a reliable\, consistent\, and auditable manner. Yet\, for many organizations\, technical challenges persist regarding source identification for emissions\, collection of quality data on activities\, methods for selecting the most appropriate emission factors\, and completeness and accuracy concerns in disclosures. This course responds to the practical competencies gap by equipping participants with the necessary competencies to operationalize GHG measurement\, enhance internal data systems\, support assurance processes\, and better ensure the credibility of climate-related information presented within corporate reports. \nThe course will enhance the practical ability of participants to identify relevant emission sources\, apply standardized calculation methodologies\, manage data collection processes\, and prepare reliable GHG emissions reports. It seeks to build competence in distinguishing between direct and indirect emissions\, developing organizational and operational boundaries\, and embedding internal controls that support high-quality environmental data. Participants will also gain an appreciation of how robust GHG reporting supports risk management\, regulatory compliance\, strategic planning\, and stakeholder confidence. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \nIntroduction to GHG Accounting Frameworks \n\nOverview of internationally accepted GHG accounting principles\nUnderstanding organizational and operational boundaries\nAlignment with global climate disclosure expectations\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions \n\nIdentifying direct emission sources (fuel combustion\, company vehicles\, industrial processes)\nActivity data collection and quality checks\nHands-on calculations using emission factors\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 2 Emissions \n\nAccounting for purchased electricity\, steam\, heating\, and cooling\nMarket-based versus location-based methods\nElectricity data interpretation and practical calculation exercises\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 3 Emissions \n\nMapping value chain emission sources\nPrioritization of material Scope 3 categories\nPractical approaches to data estimation and supplier engagement\n\nGHG Data Management and Internal Controls \n\nDesigning data collection templates and control processes\nManaging data gaps\, assumptions\, and estimations\nDocumentation and audit trail requirements\n\nPreparation of GHG Emissions Reports \n\nStructuring clear and credible GHG disclosures\nConsistency with financial and sustainability reporting\nCommon errors and how to avoid them\n\nVerification and Assurance Readiness \n\nPreparing GHG data for independent verification\nUnderstanding assurance expectations and evidence requirements\nResponding to review findings and improving reporting quality\n\nLinking GHG Measurement to Strategy and Performance \n\nUsing emissions data to inform risk management and decision-making\nSetting reduction targets and monitoring progress\nIntegrating GHG data into broader ESG and sustainability frameworks\n\n Target Audience \n The course is intended for accountants\, auditors\, sustainability and ESG professionals\, internal control and risk management practitioners\, finance and operations managers\, environmental and health and safety officers\, compliance officers\, and consultants who are engaged in sustainability reporting or climate-related risk management. It will also be useful to public sector professionals\, regulators\, and development practitioners who support environmental accountability and the implementation of climate policy. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the course. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 18\,500.

SUMMARY:Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nMeasuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical (virtual option)\nDate: 17th – 18th September 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThere is increased pressure from regulators\, investors\, financiers\, and other stakeholders for organizations across all sectors to measure\, manage\, and transparently report their GHG emissions. With increasing mainstreaming of climate-related disclosures\, the need for professionals who can apply the GHG accounting principles practically\, as set out in recognized global frameworks\, cannot be over-emphasized. This practical course will focus on the development of hands-on capacity to measure\, calculate\, document\, and report GHG emissions for Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3. The course will bridge the gap between theory and practice by focusing on real-life organizational scenarios\, sector-specific emission sources\, and practical calculations that align with international best practice. \nWith the gradual evolution of sustainability reporting\, it is increasingly expected of entities to report their carbon footprint in a reliable\, consistent\, and auditable manner. Yet\, for many organizations\, technical challenges persist regarding source identification for emissions\, collection of quality data on activities\, methods for selecting the most appropriate emission factors\, and completeness and accuracy concerns in disclosures. This course responds to the practical competencies gap by equipping participants with the necessary competencies to operationalize GHG measurement\, enhance internal data systems\, support assurance processes\, and better ensure the credibility of climate-related information presented within corporate reports. \nThe course will enhance the practical ability of participants to identify relevant emission sources\, apply standardized calculation methodologies\, manage data collection processes\, and prepare reliable GHG emissions reports. It seeks to build competence in distinguishing between direct and indirect emissions\, developing organizational and operational boundaries\, and embedding internal controls that support high-quality environmental data. Participants will also gain an appreciation of how robust GHG reporting supports risk management\, regulatory compliance\, strategic planning\, and stakeholder confidence. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \nIntroduction to GHG Accounting Frameworks \n\nOverview of internationally accepted GHG accounting principles\nUnderstanding organizational and operational boundaries\nAlignment with global climate disclosure expectations\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions \n\nIdentifying direct emission sources (fuel combustion\, company vehicles\, industrial processes)\nActivity data collection and quality checks\nHands-on calculations using emission factors\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 2 Emissions \n\nAccounting for purchased electricity\, steam\, heating\, and cooling\nMarket-based versus location-based methods\nElectricity data interpretation and practical calculation exercises\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 3 Emissions \n\nMapping value chain emission sources\nPrioritization of material Scope 3 categories\nPractical approaches to data estimation and supplier engagement\n\nGHG Data Management and Internal Controls \n\nDesigning data collection templates and control processes\nManaging data gaps\, assumptions\, and estimations\nDocumentation and audit trail requirements\n\nPreparation of GHG Emissions Reports \n\nStructuring clear and credible GHG disclosures\nConsistency with financial and sustainability reporting\nCommon errors and how to avoid them\n\nVerification and Assurance Readiness \n\nPreparing GHG data for independent verification\nUnderstanding assurance expectations and evidence requirements\nResponding to review findings and improving reporting quality\n\nLinking GHG Measurement to Strategy and Performance \n\nUsing emissions data to inform risk management and decision-making\nSetting reduction targets and monitoring progress\nIntegrating GHG data into broader ESG and sustainability frameworks\n\n Target Audience \n The course is intended for accountants\, auditors\, sustainability and ESG professionals\, internal control and risk management practitioners\, finance and operations managers\, environmental and health and safety officers\, compliance officers\, and consultants who are engaged in sustainability reporting or climate-related risk management.

SUMMARY:ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING\nTHEME: Navigating Uncertainty Through Adaptive Enterprise Risk Management\nDATE: 21st – 25th SEPTEMBER 2026\nVENUE: SAROVA WOODLANDS HOTEL\, NAKURU\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global business environment is experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty and disruption. Organizations are operating amidst economic volatility\, geopolitical tensions\, climate-related challenges\, rapid technological advancements\, evolving regulatory requirements\, and increasing stakeholder expectations. These developments have fundamentally altered the risk landscape\, requiring organizations to rethink how risks are identified\, assessed\, managed\, and leveraged to create sustainable value. \nThe World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report continues to highlight critical risks facing organizations including cyber insecurity\, climate change\, misinformation and disinformation\, geopolitical conflicts\, economic instability\, and disruptions arising from emerging technologies. At the same time\, organizations are increasingly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, automation\, digital platforms\, and data-driven business models\, creating both unprecedented opportunities and new categories of risk that require effective governance and oversight. \nWithin Kenya and across the region\, organizations continue to navigate an increasingly dynamic environment characterized by economic pressures\, regulatory reforms\, digital transformation initiatives\, sustainability demands\, cybersecurity threats\, supply chain vulnerabilities\, and heightened public scrutiny. These realities demand that organizations build resilience\, strengthen governance\, improve strategic agility\, and enhance their ability to respond effectively to emerging risks and opportunities. \nConsequently\, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is no longer viewed merely as a compliance or control function. Modern ERM has evolved into a strategic management discipline that supports decision-making\, drives organizational performance\, protects value\, enhances resilience\, and enables sustainable growth. Organizations that successfully integrate risk management into strategy and operations are better positioned to anticipate disruptions\, adapt to change\, capitalize on opportunities\, and maintain stakeholder confidence. \nThe ERM Master Class 2026 has been designed to equip participants with advanced knowledge\, and strategic insights necessary to navigate today’s complex risk environment. Building upon traditional ERM principles\, this year’s programme introduces contemporary themes including Artificial Intelligence governance\, cyber resilience\, climate and sustainability risks\, organizational resilience\, risk analytics\, digital transformation\, and the future role of risk professionals. \nThrough expert-led sessions\, practical workshops\, case studies\, simulations\, and peer learning opportunities\, participants will gain practical skills and actionable insights that can be immediately applied within their organizations. The Master Class will also provide an excellent platform for networking\, benchmarking\, and sharing experiences with fellow professionals from diverse sectors. \nThe following five modules cover the key fundamental learning areas; \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE \nTOPICS \n \nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\nDAY 1\nFoundations of Enterprise Risk Management and Strategic Risk Leadership\n§  Enterprise Risk Management Fundamentals \n§   Strategic Risk Management \n§   The Evolving Risk Landscape\n1.    Key concepts and principles of Enterprise Risk Management \n2.    Evolution of risk management from compliance to strategic value creation \n3.    Differences between traditional risk management and Enterprise Risk Management \n4.    COSO ERM Framework and ISO 31000:2018 \n5.    Integrating risk management into organizational strategy and performance \n6.    The role of risk professionals as strategic business partners \n7.    Understanding the current global and local risk landscape \n8.    Regulatory and governance considerations affecting ERM \n9.    Roles and responsibilities of Boards\, Management and Risk Functions \n10.

SUMMARY:Enhancement of compliance from reviews webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEnhancement of Compliance from Reviews webinar\nDate: 22nd September 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) conducts practice reviews and quality assurance assessments to promote adherence to professional standards\, ethical requirements\, and regulatory obligations among accounting professionals and firms. These reviews provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of quality management systems\, audit methodologies\, documentation practices\, independence requirements\, and compliance with applicable professional standards. The findings and recommendations arising from such reviews offer an opportunity for firms and practitioners to identify weaknesses and implement measures that strengthen compliance and improve the quality of professional services. \nThe purpose of this initiative is to enhance compliance through the effective implementation of recommendations arising from ICPAK reviews. By addressing identified gaps and strengthening internal controls\, firms can improve adherence to professional and ethical standards\, reduce the risk of regulatory breaches\, and enhance the quality and reliability of their services. The initiative seeks to foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability within professional practice. \nTo achieve this objective\, firms will review and analyze findings from ICPAK review reports\, develop corrective action plans\, and implement measures to address identified deficiencies. This will include reviewing and updating policies and procedures\, strengthening quality management systems\, improving documentation and record-keeping practices\, and providing targeted training to staff on professional and regulatory requirements. Periodic internal reviews and monitoring activities will also be undertaken to assess progress and ensure sustained compliance. \nThe expected outcome of this initiative is improved compliance with ICPAK requirements\, professional standards\, and ethical obligations. Enhanced compliance will contribute to higher-quality audit\, assurance\, and accounting services\, strengthen stakeholder confidence\, and reduce the recurrence of findings in future reviews. In addition\, stronger governance\, risk management\, and internal control processes will support the long-term sustainability and reputation of firms and practitioners. \nThe reviews serve as an important mechanism for promoting professional excellence and regulatory compliance within the accounting profession. By proactively addressing review findings and implementing recommended improvements\, firms and practitioners can strengthen their compliance frameworks\, improve service quality\, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. \nTraining areas \n\nOverview of ICPAK Practice Reviews and areas of improvement\nISQM 1 and ISQM 2 Compliance\nEthics and Independence Requirements\nApplication of International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\nMonitoring and Internal Compliance Reviews\nAnti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing Compliance\nImplementation of Review Recommendations\nTechnology and Quality Management\n\nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:THE 10TH NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(ESTABLISHED UNDER THE ACCOUNTANTS ACT\, LAWS OF KENYA) \nTHE 10th NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Ladies for Sustainable Leadership\, Innovation\, and Inclusive Growth in a Globally Competitive Landscape\n28th SEPTEMBER – 2nd OCTOBER 2026\nSAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA\, MOMBASA\nTIME: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nThe ICPAK National Lady Accountants Conference stands as a premier platform dedicated to celebrating\, empowering\, and advancing women in the accounting and other professions. It brings together female professionals across diverse sectors to reflect on their contribution to financial leadership\, governance\, and economic development\, while also creating space for dialogue on the challenges and opportunities that shape their personal and professional journeys. In a field that continues to evolve rapidly\, the conference recognizes the critical role women accountants play in driving integrity\, innovation\, and sustainable value creation within organizations and the broader economy. \nIn today’s rapidly evolving global economy\, empowering women to assume leadership roles is no longer a matter of equity alone but a strategic imperative for sustainable progress. Women leaders bring distinctive perspectives shaped by diverse life experiences\, fostering decision-making that prioritizes long-term resilience over short-term gains. Sustainable leadership\, when championed by ladies\, integrates environmental stewardship\, ethical governance\, and social responsibility into core business strategies. This approach helps organizations navigate volatility—whether from climate challenges or geopolitical shifts—while building stakeholder trust and ensuring enduring viability in competitive international markets. \nInnovation flourishes when barriers to women’s participation are dismantled. Ladies often excel at collaborative problem-solving and human-centered design\, injecting fresh ideas into technology\, healthcare\, finance\, and green industries. By investing in women and inclusive innovation ecosystems\, organizations unlock untapped talent pools that drive breakthroughs. In a globally competitive landscape\, companies and nations that harness female ingenuity report higher patent filings\, agile adaptation to market disruptions\, and the creation of solutions that address both local needs and universal challenges\, such as sustainable energy and digital inclusion. \nThere is a growing recognition of the critical role women accountants play in driving ethical leadership\, financial transparency\, and sustainable organizational growth. As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation\, sustainability reporting and integrated thinking\, lady accountants are expected to take up more strategic roles beyond compliance and reporting. One of the key benefits of this conference is enhanced professional capability and leadership development among women in the accounting and other professions. \nThe 10th National Lady Accountants Conference therefore aims to demystify complex and emerging areas while empowering women to confidently navigate leadership roles and professional challenges. It will provide practical insights into how strategic decisions are influenced and how women can position themselves as key drivers of transformation within their organizations. Additionally\, participants are expected to be better equipped to lead with confidence\,  create strong and lasting personal brands\, overcome career plateaus\, embrace innovation and contribute meaningfully to sustainable financial and organizational success. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the conference: \n\nWomen in Leadership and Influence – Exploring pathways for women to attain leadership roles and shape strategic decisions in different professions.\nNavigating Career Plateaus – Practical Strategies for Career Elevation \nCountry Living – Embracing a Significant Shift in One’s Life \nChild Adoption and Family Building \nFinancial Independence and Wealth Creation for Women Professionals – Empowering ladies to build personal wealth\, invest strategically\, and achieve financial security.\nWork-Life Integration and Career Sustainability – Addressing the balance between professional growth\, personal responsibilities\, and long-term career resilience.\nRetirement Preparedness & Transition – Beyond Golf\, Grand children and \nPersonal Branding and Professional Visibility – Building strong professional identities to enhance influence\, recognition\, and career advancement.\nEffective Parenting in the Modern Age – tenets for proper upbringing of children \nDealing with\, overcoming and supporting those going through divorce and separation \nLeading Multigeneration Teams with different Dynamics \nThe Changing Nature and Future of Work in Accounting & Across Professions – Adapting to remote work\, hybrid models\, and evolving workplace expectations.\nDigital Transformation in Finance and Accounting – Leveraging emerging technologies such as AI\, data analytics\, and automation to enhance efficiency at the workplace.\nOutdoor Activity – Team Building for Confidence and Wellness.\nFree Counselling Services\nFriday Gala Dinner \n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThe Conference will be beneficial to all ladies both accountants and non- accountants\, women in leadership positions and those aspiring to join leadership positions. \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the Conference. \nCONFERENCE CHARGES: \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKShs 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKShs. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKShs. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation**\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nNote: Seminar charges cater for training fee\, training materials\, certificate and meals during the event. \nONLINE BOOKING \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for webinar 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.

SUMMARY:Audit Staff Training-A Practical Approach (Mandatory Training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Staff Training-A practical Approach (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Future-Ready Auditors: Enhancing Quality\, Innovation and Trust.\nDate: 30th September -1st October 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe audit profession is undergoing unprecedented transformation driven by technological advancements\, evolving stakeholder expectations\, increasing regulatory scrutiny\, and the growing complexity of business transactions. Auditors are expected not only to provide assurance on financial information but also to navigate emerging risks\, leverage technology effectively and uphold the highest standards of professional judgment and ethical conduct. \nGlobally\, audit regulators and standard setters continue to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening audit quality and restoring public confidence in the profession. Recent developments such as the International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2)\, revisions to risk assessment and auditing standards\, increased focus on sustainability reporting and assurance\, and the adoption of advanced data analytics tools are reshaping audit methodologies and engagement practices. \nIn Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly complex environment characterized by heightened regulatory expectations\, digital transformation\, evolving reporting requirements\, and growing concerns over fraud\, cybersecurity threats\, and financial reporting quality.

SUMMARY:Stress Management and resilience for professionals-webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nStress Management and Resilience for Professionals Webinar\nTheme: Building Resilience for Sustainable Professional Performance and Well-being\nDate: 6th October 2026\nMode: Virtual\nTime: 4:00pm-6:00pm \nOverview \nToday’s professionals are operating in increasingly demanding environments shaped by evolving business models\, rapid technological change\, regulatory expectations\, tight deadlines\, and rising stakeholder demands. While these pressures can drive innovation and productivity\, they can also lead to prolonged stress\, burnout\, reduced performance\, and diminished well-being when not managed effectively. In this context\, stress management and resilience have become essential competencies for sustainable professional performance. \nStress is a natural response to workplace demands. However\, when it remains unmanaged\, it can affect physical health\, emotional well-being\, decision-making\, productivity\, and professional relationships. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders who often work in high-pressure settings\, the ability to manage stress while maintaining sound professional judgment is critical. \nResilience enables professionals to adapt positively to challenges\, recover from setbacks\, and remain focused during periods of uncertainty and change. It goes beyond coping with pressure; it is the capacity to learn\, grow\, and thrive despite adversity. Resilient professionals demonstrate emotional intelligence\, adaptability\, optimism\, and effective problem-solving skills\, which strengthen leadership\, teamwork\, communication\, and overall organizational performance. \nCreating mentally healthy workplaces requires shared commitment from both individuals and organizations. Leaders play a key role in fostering supportive environments that promote open communication\, psychological safety\, work-life balance\, and proactive stress management. Organizations that invest in employee well-being and resilience benefit from stronger engagement\, reduced absenteeism\, improved collaboration\, and higher levels of innovation and performance. \nThis webinar will equip participants with practical knowledge and evidence-based strategies for managing workplace stress and building resilience in demanding professional environments. Through expert presentations\, practical exercises\, and interactive discussions\, participants will learn how to recognize stress indicators\, strengthen emotional resilience\, improve coping mechanisms\, and maintain performance while safeguarding their mental well-being. \nRecognizing that resilient professionals are better positioned to deliver high-quality services\, exercise sound judgment\, and lead effectively through change\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to support members in strengthening stress management\, resilience\, and personal well-being. The programme is designed to help professionals sustain long-term performance while contributing to healthier\, more productive\, and more resilient workplaces. \n Topics To Be Covered \n\n Understanding Workplace Stress\n\n\nCommon sources of stress in professional environments\nEffects of prolonged stress\, pressure\, and burnout\nEarly warning signs and indicators of stress\n\n\n Building Personal Resilience\n\n\nKey characteristics of resilient professionals\nDeveloping adaptability\, emotional resilience\, and optimism\nMaintaining focus and performance under pressure\n\n\n Practical Strategies for Managing Stress\n\n\nEffective time\, priority\, and workload management\nPractical coping techniques\, mindfulness\, and recovery practices\nMaintaining healthy boundaries and work-life balance\n\n\n Creating a Healthy Professional Lifestyle\n\n\nPromoting personal well-being and sustainable professional habits\nBuilding supportive workplace relationships and communication practices\nDeveloping a personal resilience action plan\, followed by Q&A\n\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:Sustainability Reporting Course (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Course (physical option)\nTheme: Advancing Sustainability Reporting: From Compliance to Value Creation\nDate: 8th -9th October  2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium\, CPA Centre \nOverview \nHow can organizations effectively respond to growing stakeholder expectations for transparent\, reliable\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures while meeting emerging global reporting requirements? \nSustainability reporting has rapidly evolved from a voluntary corporate responsibility exercise into a critical component of corporate governance\, risk management\, and strategic decision-making. 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.
