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:Branch Tax Seminar - Western Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nBranch Tax Seminar – Western Branch\nTheme: Branch Taxation: Practical Compliance\, Risk Management\, and Emerging Trends\nDate: 22nd -23rd October 2026\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Bungoma\, To be Confirmed \nOverview \nBranches are vital to many organizations in Kenya but face distinct tax issues unlike those of head offices or subsidiaries. Issues such as income attribution\, VAT apportionment\, withholding tax\, and transfer pricing demand specialized knowledge and careful application of tax laws. \nKRA has increased scrutiny of branch operations through eTIMS\, data-driven audits\, and stricter reporting. As a result\, branch compliance now requires not only meeting legal obligations but also managing risk\, interpreting complex laws\, and maintaining consistency across the organization. \nRecent Finance Act amendments\, digital service taxes\, and sustainability levies have made branch taxation more complex. Professionals must address both local rules and global developments such as OECD BEPS initiatives affecting permanent establishments and cross-border branches. \nThis seminar will equip accountants\, tax practitioners\, and finance professionals with practical tools for effective branch taxation management. Through expert sessions\, case studies\, and discussions\, participants will better understand compliance duties\, emerging issues\, and audit-readiness strategies\, with emphasis on ethics\, judgment\, and proactive risk management. \nBy focusing on branch taxation\, the seminar offers value beyond general compliance training. It helps participants reduce penalties\, build stakeholder confidence\, and align with best practices in a changing tax environment. \nThe seminar will cover the following topics: \nSession 1: Taxation of Branch Operations in Kenya \n\nLegal framework for branch taxation\n\n\nBranch versus subsidiary: tax implications\n\n\nIncome attribution and branch profit determination\n\n\nTax treatment of foreign branches and permanent establishments under treaties\n\nSession 2: Value Added Tax (VAT) Compliance for Branches \n\nVAT registration\, filing\, and record keeping\n\n\nElectronic invoicing (eTIMS) and digital VAT compliance\nApportionment of VAT at branch level\nCommon compliance pitfalls and audit exposure\n\nSession 3: Withholding Tax and Statutory Deductions \n\nScope and application of withholding tax\n\n\nPAYE\, NSSF\, NHIF\, Housing Levy\, and other statutory deductions\n\n\nCompliance challenges and case studies\n\n\nManaging penalties\, interest\, and late compliance risks\n\nSession 4: Transfer Pricing and Related Party Transactions \n\nTransfer pricing rules for branch operations\n\n\nIntra-group transactions and head office charges\n\n\nDocumentation requirements and audit readiness\n\n\nManaging disputes and transfer pricing risk exposure\n\nSession 5: Emerging Issues in Branch Taxation \n\nDigital service tax and e-commerce impacts\n\n\nSustainability-related levies and green taxation trends\n\n\nFinance Act 2026 changes affecting branches\n\n\nFuture direction of tax administration in Kenya\n\nSession 6: Tax Audits\, Dispute Resolution\, and Risk Management \n\nPreparing for KRA tax audits and investigations\nManaging objections\, appeals\, and ADR processes\n\n\nEthical considerations and professional judgment in tax practice\nProactive tax risk management strategies\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:ANNUAL PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme: Transforming Public Sector Financial Reporting Management Through Innovation\, Accountability\, and Sustainable Governance\nDate: 26th  – 30th October 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Pride Inn Paradise Beach Hotel\, Mombasa\n \nOVERVIEW \nPublic sector accounting remains a cornerstone of sound governance\, prudent financial stewardship\, transparency\, and accountability in the management of public resources. Public sector accountants play a critical role in supporting policy implementation\, enhancing fiscal discipline\, strengthening internal controls\, improving service delivery\, and promoting effective utilization of public funds within national and county governments\, state corporations\, and other public institutions. \nAs governments and public institutions continue to operate within an increasingly complex economic\, technological\, regulatory\, and social environment\, the expectations placed on public finance professionals continue to expand significantly. Today’s public sector accountants are expected not only to ensure compliance with financial regulations and reporting requirements\, but also to provide strategic insights that support sustainable development\, institutional resilience\, public trust\, and effective decision making. \nThe public financial management landscape is undergoing rapid transformation driven by digitalization\, public sector reforms\, evolving International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS)\, increasing citizen expectations for transparency and service delivery\, fiscal pressures\, climate related financial obligations\, sustainability and ESG considerations\, and growing demand for value for money in public expenditure. Governments are increasingly adopting technology enabled financial systems\, strengthening performance-based budgeting approaches\, enhancing reporting frameworks\, and implementing reforms aimed at improving accountability and operational efficiency. \nAt the same time\, the sector continues to face persistent and emerging challenges including delayed financial reporting\, audit queries\, weak internal controls\, public debt pressures\, fraud risks\, cyber threats\, capacity constraints\, governance concerns\, and increasing complexity in public private partnerships and sustainability related reporting obligations. These developments require public sector accountants to continuously strengthen their technical competence\, digital readiness\, ethical leadership\, strategic thinking\, and adaptability to emerging public finance trends. \nThe evolving role of public sector accountants therefore extends beyond traditional compliance focused responsibilities to include broader functions in governance\, institutional transformation\, risk oversight\, financial analysis\, sustainability reporting\, performance management\, internal assurance\, and strategic public financial management. \nThe Annual Public Sector Accountants Conference provides an important platform for public finance professionals\, regulators\, policy makers\, development partners\, and stakeholders to engage on emerging issues affecting public sector accounting\, governance\, and financial management. The conference seeks to facilitate technical learning\, professional development\, peer engagement\, collaborative discussions\, and practical knowledge sharing on innovative approaches to strengthening accountability\, transparency\, institutional resilience\, and service delivery within the public sector. \nIn line with its mandate to develop and support the accountancy profession and promote high standards of professional competence\, governance\, accountability\, and ethical practice\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this conference to equip public sector professionals with practical insights\, emerging knowledge\, and strategic perspectives necessary for effective public financial management and sustainable institutional performance \nThe conference will cover the following key thematic areas: \n\n IPSAS Implementation and Public Sector Financial Reporting and the Future of Public Financial Management\n\n\nEmerging trends shaping public sector finance and governance\nProgress and emerging developments in IPSAS implementation\nStrengthening financial reporting quality in the public sector\nAddressing audit queries and reporting deficiencies\nStrengthening accountability and transparency in public institutions\nEnhancing value for money and public service delivery\nStrengthening fiscal discipline and expenditure management\n\n\n Governance\, Ethics\, and Accountability in the Public Sector\n\n\nEthical leadership and integrity in public institutions\nStrengthening governance and oversight frameworks\nPromoting accountability and responsible financial management\nBuilding public trust through transparency and ethical conduct\n\n\n Digital Transformation and Innovation in Public Finance-Data Analytics and Technology Enabled Decision Making\n\n\nUsing data analytics to improve financial oversight and decision making\nData visualization and reporting dashboards for public finance professionals\nLeveraging technology for efficiency\, transparency\, and accountability\nPractical applications of analytics in public financial management\nLeveraging IFMIS and digital financial management systems\nAutomation\, data analytics\, and digital reporting tools\nArtificial intelligence and emerging technologies in public finance\nCybersecurity\, data governance\, and digital risks in the public sector\n\n\n Internal Controls\, Risk Management\, and Fraud Prevention\n\n\nStrengthening internal control systems and assurance mechanisms\nEnterprise risk management in public institutions\nFraud prevention\, detection\, and response strategies\nBuilding resilient and adaptive public sector institutions\n\n\n Audit Readiness and Improving Audit Outcomes\n\n\nPreparing for effective public sector audits\nAddressing recurring audit findings and audit backlogs\nStrengthening documentation\, compliance\, and reporting processes\nEnhancing audit outcomes and institutional accountability\n\n\n Indepth analysis of accounting standards\n\n\nIPSAS 43 (Leases): Requires government entities to clearly record all lease obligations on their balance sheets\, recognizing them as exact assets or liabilities to give a clearer picture of owed and owned.\nIPSAS 44 (Non-Current Assets Held for Sale): Provides strict guidelines on valuing\, displaying\, and disclosing government property (e.g.\, land\, vehicles) earmarked for disposal.\nIPSAS 45 (Property\, Plant\, and Equipment): Replaces IPSAS 17 to improve state asset management and includes new guidance on long-lasting infrastructure and heritage assets.\nIPSAS 46 (Measurement): Provides a comprehensive framework for exactly how public sector entities measure assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses.\n\n\n Sustainability\, Climate Finance\, and ESG Reporting\n\n\nSustainability and ESG developments in the public sector\nClimate finance and climate related reporting obligations\nIntegrating sustainability into planning and decision making\nSupporting sustainable public sector development and resilience\n\n\n Leadership\, Change Management\, and Workforce Transformation\n\n\nLeading transformation in public institutions\nManaging change in evolving work environments\nBuilding adaptive and future ready public sector finance teams\nDeveloping leadership capability and institutional resilience\n\n\n Professional Wellbeing and Resilience in the Public Sector\n\n\nManaging pressure in demanding public finance environments\nBuilding resilience and adaptability among finance professionals\nPromoting mental wellness and professional effectiveness\nSustaining productivity and ethical conduct in dynamic work environments\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nPublic Sector Accountants\, Accountants in parastatals and State Corporations\, external auditors\, public sector internal auditors\, IPSAS Board personnel\, Academia\, Accounting and Finance consultants;

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

SUMMARY:AML and CFT Audit webinar
DESCRIPTION:NSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAML and CFT Audit webinar\nDate: 3rd November  2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nConducting an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) audit is a critical process for auditors\, financial institutions\, regulated entities and other designated professionals to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. These audits evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s policies\, procedures\, and controls designed to detect\, prevent\, and report money laundering and terrorist financing activities. Auditors assess whether the institution maintains a robust risk-based approach\, adhering to standards set by bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)\, local regulators\, and international guidelines. The primary goal is to identify weaknesses that could expose the organization to financial crime risks\, reputational damage\, or regulatory penalties. Successful audits require a combination of technical expertise\, independence\, and a thorough understanding of evolving threats in the global financial ecosystem. \nThe planning phase sets the foundation for a successful AML/CFT audit. Auditors begin by defining the scope\, objectives\, and timeline\, considering factors like the institution’s size\, customer base\, product offerings\, and geographic operations. A comprehensive risk assessment is conducted to prioritize high-risk areas\, such as correspondent banking\, trade finance\, or dealings with high-risk jurisdictions. Documentation review includes examining the AML/CFT policy framework\, customer due diligence (CDD) procedures\, and transaction monitoring systems. Engagement with key stakeholders\, including compliance officers and senior management\, helps align expectations and gather preliminary insights. Proper planning ensures resources are allocated efficiently and that the audit remains focused on material risks. \nRisk assessment forms the core of the audit methodology. Auditors evaluate the institution’s enterprise-wide risk assessment to determine if it accurately identifies\, measures\, and mitigates AML/CFT exposures. This involves analysing customer risk profiles\, enhanced due diligence (EDD) for politically exposed persons (PEPs)\, and sanctions screening processes. Data analytics tools are often employed to review transaction patterns\, flag suspicious activities\, and test the effectiveness of automated monitoring systems. Qualitative factors\, such as staff training programs and the “tone from the top” in fostering a culture of compliance\, are also scrutinized. Any gaps in risk identification can indicate systemic vulnerabilities that require immediate attention. \nFieldwork and testing procedures involve detailed examination of controls and operations. Auditors perform walkthroughs of key processes\, sample testing of customer files for proper KYC (Know Your Customer) documentation\, and validation of suspicious activity report (SAR) filings. Independent testing of transaction monitoring rules helps verify detection accuracy and false positive rates. Interviews with frontline staff and compliance teams reveal practical implementation challenges. Technology audits may include assessing the reliability of core banking systems and data integrity. These hands-on activities ensure that theoretical policies translate into effective day-to-day practices. \nEvaluation of findings focuses on the adequacy and effectiveness of the AML/CFT program. Auditors rate controls as effective\, partially effective\, or ineffective based on evidence gathered. Common deficiencies include inadequate customer identification\, weak ongoing monitoring\, or insufficient independent testing of the compliance function. Root cause analysis is performed to understand underlying issues\, such as resource constraints or outdated technology. The audit team also benchmarks the institution against industry best practices and regulatory expectations\, providing a holistic view of compliance maturity. This step is crucial for prioritizing remediation efforts. \nThe reporting and follow-up stage closes the audit cycle with actionable recommendations. A clear\, well-structured report is delivered to management and the board\, highlighting strengths\, weaknesses\, and prioritized remedial actions with timelines. Follow-up mechanisms ensure that agreed-upon corrective measures are implemented and tested in subsequent reviews. Continuous monitoring and periodic re-audits help adapt to emerging risks\, such as those posed by new technologies like cryptocurrencies or virtual assets. Ultimately\, a well-conducted AML/CFT audit strengthens the organization’s defenses\, promotes regulatory adherence\, and contributes to the broader fight against financial crime. \nTarget Audience: \nThe webinar will be useful to accountants\, auditors\, academia\, and other designated professionals interested AML and CFT audit \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:THE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2\nTheme: Advancing Trust & Credibility in a changing World\nHYBRID EVENT: PRIDE INN PARADISE HOTEL\, / TEMBO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE\, (PRIDE INN FLAMINGO) MOMBASA AND VIRTUAL\nDATES: MONDAY 9TH TO FRIDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST  \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters\, publication of books\, periodicals\, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute\, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies\, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting\, auditing and ethical standards. \nThe Institute is established by an Act of parliament – The Accountants Act and has been in existence since 1978.  Over its long history it has registered over 40\,000 members. Its members work in diverse sectors of the economy as accountants\, financial experts\, auditors\, financial consultants among other careers within the larger definition of accountancy. Over 1500 of our members have emigrated and are working beyond the borders of Kenya. Members of the Institute are present in 44 different countries around the globe. \nANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY  \nFor over four decades\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has sustained a strong tradition of convening its members annually to reflect on the evolving accountancy profession and emerging issues shaping the national\, regional and global landscape. Since the inaugural Annual Seminar held in 1984\, the forum has grown into the Institute’s flagship professional development event\, symbolizing resilience\, unity and the profession’s unwavering commitment to the public interest. \nThis edition aims to discuss how trust and credibility remain fundamental to the functioning of economies\, institutions\, organisations and societies. In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world\, the ability of institutions and professionals to earn\, maintain and restore trust is becoming more important than ever. The global environment is being shaped by economic uncertainty\, technological disruption\, changing patterns of work\, sustainability challenges\, geopolitical developments and increasing demands for transparency and accountability. These changes are reshaping how governments\, businesses and professional institutions operate and how citizens and stakeholders assess their credibility. \nFor Kenya\, these developments come at a particularly important time. The country continues to pursue economic transformation while navigating fiscal pressures\, public debt\, changing global economic conditions\, institutional challenges and the need for sustainable and inclusive growth. At the same time\, organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate not only financial performance\, but also responsible leadership\, sustainability\, resilience and long-term value creation. Against this backdrop\, the accountancy profession has a critical role to play. Accountants and other professionals are entrusted with financial information\, public resources\, organisational decision-making and the assurance of credibility. Their responsibility therefore extends beyond technical compliance to include professional integrity\, ethical leadership\, accountability and the protection of the public interest. \nThe 43rd ICPAK Annual Seminar – Edition II therefore seeks to provide a high-level platform for professionals\, policymakers\, government leaders\, business leaders\, international organisations and other stakeholders to examine the changing nature of trust and credibility and the role of professionals in shaping Kenya’s future. \n\n\n\nDate\nTheme\nTopics\n\n\nDay One: \nMonday 9th Nov 2026\nArrival & Registration \nNetworking\n\n\nDay Two: \nTuesday 10th Nov 2026\nTrust\, Ethics & Leadership\n1.       The Role of Professionals in Safeguarding Public Trust \n2.       Ethical Leadership: Accountability\, Integrity and the Choices we Make \n3.       Public Finance\, Accountability and the Cost of Trust Deficits \n4.       From Professional to Nation Builder: The Responsibility of the Accountancy Profession\n\n\nDay Three: \nWednesday 11th Nov 2026\nNational Leadership & Governance\n1.       Leadership in a Changing World: Rebuilding Public Trust and Confidence in Institutions \n2.       Policy and Public Value: Bridging the Gap Between Policies and Economic Realities \n3.       From Policy to Prosperity: What Must Kenya Do Differently to Unlock Sustainable Economic Growth? \n4.       The Leadership Imperative: Ethics\, Accountability and the Future of Public Institutions \n5.       Devolution at the Crossroads: Are Counties Delivering Value to Citizens?\n\n\nDay Four: \nThursday 12th Nov 2026\nSustainability\, Technology & The Future Accountant \n1.       Building Organizations That Matter: Sustainability\, Purpose and Long-Term Value \n2.       Beyond Compliance: Why Sustainability Will Define the Competitiveness of Nations and Organizations \n3.       The Accountant of the Future: From Financial Stewardship to Value\, Trust and Sustainable Transformation \n4.       Technology\, Automation and the Changing Profession\n\n\nDay Five: \nFriday 13th Nov 2026\nPersonal Development \n1.       The Power of Wellbeing: Health\, Fitness and Wellness for a Thriving Professional Life\n\n\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nCONFERENCE CHARGES \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Members\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Non-Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nBookings Deadline: Bookings close on Friday\, 6th November 2026 at 17:00 pm \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 43rd Annual Seminar Edition 1. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2\nTheme: Advancing Trust & Credibility in a changing World\nHYBRID EVENT: PRIDE INN PARADISE HOTEL\, / TEMBO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE\, (PRIDE INN FLAMINGO) MOMBASA AND VIRTUAL\nDATES: MONDAY 9TH TO FRIDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST  \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters\, publication of books\, periodicals\, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute\, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies\, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting\, auditing and ethical standards. \nThe Institute is established by an Act of parliament – The Accountants Act and has been in existence since 1978.  Over its long history it has registered over 40\,000 members. Its members work in diverse sectors of the economy as accountants\, financial experts\, auditors\, financial consultants among other careers within the larger definition of accountancy. Over 1500 of our members have emigrated and are working beyond the borders of Kenya. Members of the Institute are present in 44 different countries around the globe. \nANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY  \nFor over four decades\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has sustained a strong tradition of convening its members annually to reflect on the evolving accountancy profession and emerging issues shaping the national\, regional and global landscape. Since the inaugural Annual Seminar held in 1984\, the forum has grown into the Institute’s flagship professional development event\, symbolizing resilience\, unity and the profession’s unwavering commitment to the public interest. \nThis edition aims to discuss how trust and credibility remain fundamental to the functioning of economies\, institutions\, organisations and societies. In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world\, the ability of institutions and professionals to earn\, maintain and restore trust is becoming more important than ever. The global environment is being shaped by economic uncertainty\, technological disruption\, changing patterns of work\, sustainability challenges\, geopolitical developments and increasing demands for transparency and accountability. These changes are reshaping how governments\, businesses and professional institutions operate and how citizens and stakeholders assess their credibility. \nFor Kenya\, these developments come at a particularly important time. The country continues to pursue economic transformation while navigating fiscal pressures\, public debt\, changing global economic conditions\, institutional challenges and the need for sustainable and inclusive growth. At the same time\, organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate not only financial performance\, but also responsible leadership\, sustainability\, resilience and long-term value creation. Against this backdrop\, the accountancy profession has a critical role to play. Accountants and other professionals are entrusted with financial information\, public resources\, organisational decision-making and the assurance of credibility. Their responsibility therefore extends beyond technical compliance to include professional integrity\, ethical leadership\, accountability and the protection of the public interest. \nThe 43rd ICPAK Annual Seminar – Edition II therefore seeks to provide a high-level platform for professionals\, policymakers\, government leaders\, business leaders\, international organisations and other stakeholders to examine the changing nature of trust and credibility and the role of professionals in shaping Kenya’s future. \n\n\n\nDate\nTheme\nTopics\n\n\nDay One: \nMonday 9th Nov 2026\nArrival & Registration \nNetworking\n\n\nDay Two: \nTuesday 10th Nov 2026\nTrust\, Ethics & Leadership\n1.       The Role of Professionals in Safeguarding Public Trust \n2.       Ethical Leadership: Accountability\, Integrity and the Choices we Make \n3.       Public Finance\, Accountability and the Cost of Trust Deficits \n4.       From Professional to Nation Builder: The Responsibility of the Accountancy Profession\n\n\nDay Three: \nWednesday 11th Nov 2026\nNational Leadership & Governance\n1.       Leadership in a Changing World: Rebuilding Public Trust and Confidence in Institutions \n2.       Policy and Public Value: Bridging the Gap Between Policies and Economic Realities \n3.       From Policy to Prosperity: What Must Kenya Do Differently to Unlock Sustainable Economic Growth? \n4.       The Leadership Imperative: Ethics\, Accountability and the Future of Public Institutions \n5.       Devolution at the Crossroads: Are Counties Delivering Value to Citizens?\n\n\nDay Four: \nThursday 12th Nov 2026\nSustainability\, Technology & The Future Accountant \n1.       Building Organizations That Matter: Sustainability\, Purpose and Long-Term Value \n2.       Beyond Compliance: Why Sustainability Will Define the Competitiveness of Nations and Organizations \n3.       The Accountant of the Future: From Financial Stewardship to Value\, Trust and Sustainable Transformation \n4.       Technology\, Automation and the Changing Profession\n\n\nDay Five: \nFriday 13th Nov 2026\nPersonal Development \n1.       The Power of Wellbeing: Health\, Fitness and Wellness for a Thriving Professional Life\n\n\n\n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nCONFERENCE CHARGES \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Members\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Non-Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nBookings Deadline: Bookings close on Friday\, 6th November 2026 at 17:00 pm \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 43rd Annual Seminar Edition 1. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:ISA 220- Quality control for an audit of financial statements webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISA 220- Quality control for an audit of Financial Statements Webinar\nDate: 10th November  2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nThe quality of an audit is fundamental to maintaining public trust in the accountancy profession and enhancing confidence in financial reporting. In an increasingly complex business environment characterized by evolving regulatory requirements\, technological advancements\, heightened stakeholder expectations\, and emerging risks\, audit firms and engagement teams are under greater pressure to consistently deliver high-quality audit engagements. \nRecognizing the need to strengthen audit quality\, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) introduced a new suite of quality management standards\, including International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 220\, Quality Management for an Audit of Financial Statements. The revised standard shifts the focus from traditional quality control procedures to a proactive and risk-based approach to quality management at the engagement level. \nISA 220 places greater responsibility on the engagement partner for managing and achieving quality throughout the audit engagement. The standard emphasizes leadership\, professional skepticism\, appropriate direction and supervision of engagement teams\, effective use of resources\, and ongoing evaluation of whether quality objectives are being achieved. It also aligns with International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 1 and ISQM 2\, creating a comprehensive framework for managing audit quality at both the firm and engagement levels. \nAs firms continue to implement quality management systems\, it is essential for engagement partners\, managers\, auditors\, and quality reviewers to understand their responsibilities under ISA 220 and how these requirements translate into practical actions throughout the audit lifecycle. Effective application of the standard contributes to improved audit execution\, stronger documentation\, enhanced professional judgment\, and greater confidence in audit opinions. \nThis webinar will provide participants with practical insights into the requirements of ISA 220 (Revised)\, the role of the engagement partner in achieving audit quality\, and best practices for embedding quality management into audit engagements across different jurisdictions and practice environments. \n\nUnderstanding the New Quality Management Framework\nCommon challenges and lessons learned in establishing effective quality management systems.\nInteraction between ISA 220 (Revised)\, ISQM 1\, and ISQM 2\nLeadership responsibilities for managing and achieving quality on audits\nFirms system of quality management and role of engagement teams\nRelevant ethical requirements\, including those related to independence\nRole and responsibilities of the engagement partner\nConsultation & documentation requirements\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:IPSAS Accrual webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIPSAS Accrual\nTheme: Enhancing Transparency and Accountability Through Effective Application of Accrual-Based IPSAS\nDate: 24th November 2026\nTime: 4:00-6:00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nAccrual-based IPSAS strengthens public sector financial management by improving transparency\, accountability\, and decision-making. By recognizing assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses when they occur\, it provides a fuller and more accurate view of an entity’s financial position and performance. \nMoving to IPSAS Accrual is more than an accounting change; it reshapes how public sector organizations plan\, manage\, and report finances. It supports better cost analysis\, asset and liability management\, long-term planning\, and evidence-based policy and budgeting. \nDespite progress\, many entities still face challenges in recognition\, measurement\, asset management\, employee benefits\, revenue recognition\, disclosures\, and IPSAS-compliant reporting. Addressing these requires continuous professional development and strong knowledge of accrual principles and IPSAS updates. \nThe changing public financial management environment calls for greater consistency\, comparability\, and accountability in reporting. Effective IPSAS Accrual application improves stewardship\, audit outcomes\, compliance\, and public trust by ensuring financial information reflects the substance of transactions. \nThis webinar will offer practical insights into IPSAS Accrual principles\, including recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements. Through examples\, discussions\, and case scenarios\, participants will explore common challenges and practical ways to improve public sector reporting. \nICPAK has organized this webinar to equip members with practical knowledge and current developments in IPSAS Accrual\, strengthening technical competence and supporting consistent application for transparency\, accountability\, and effective stewardship of public resources. \nKey topics to be covered \n\n Introduction to IPSAS Accrual\n\n\nPrinciples of accrual accounting\nBenefits of IPSAS Accrual\nCurrent implementation developments\n\n\n Key Recognition and Measurement Requirements\n\n\nRecognition of assets and liabilities\nRevenue and expense recognition\nPractical examples\n\n\n Preparing IPSAS-Compliant Financial Statements\n\n\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\nCommon implementation challenges\nGood reporting practices\n\n\n Practical Implementation Insights\n\n\nLessons learned from IPSAS implementation\nEmerging developments\nInteractive discussion and participant questions\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.
