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

SUMMARY:Audit Managers and Supervisors Seminar (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Managers & Supervisors Seminar (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th -18th September 2025\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\nTheme: Strengthening Audit Supervision for Quality\, Integrity\, and Digital Readiness\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe audit profession is undergoing rapid transformation driven by regulatory reforms\, technological disruption\, and heightened stakeholder expectations. Audit managers and supervisors now find themselves at the center of this shift\, tasked with ensuring audit quality\, mentoring teams\, and upholding ethical and professional standards\, while also adapting to digital innovations and evolving business risks. \nThe integration of technology has brought greater efficiency and analytical power to the audit process\, yet it has also created new challenges. Sophisticated fraud schemes\, cyber risks\, and the complexities of auditing technology-enabled business models require supervisors to adopt stronger oversight practices. At the same time\, the new International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 & 2) emphasize accountability\, leadership\, and risk-based approaches\, underscoring the critical role of supervisors in ensuring consistent quality across engagements. \nBeyond technical competence\, effective supervision now demands strong leadership\, the ability to manage diverse teams\, and the skill to navigate difficult client relationships and regulatory expectations. Supervisors are expected to model professional skepticism\, integrate technology responsibly\, and foster a culture of integrity and continuous improvement within audit firms and institutions. \nTo equip professionals for these responsibilities\, ICPAK has designed a two-day virtual symposium tailored to audit managers and supervisors. The symposium will blend technical learning\, leadership development\, case-based analysis\, and practical strategies to help participants strengthen their supervisory capacity. The sessions will explore risk-based audit supervision\, the application of digital tools\, ethical and regulatory developments\, and best practices drawn from real-world scenarios. The goal is to empower participants with the tools\, insights\, and confidence to lead audit teams effectively\, enhance audit quality\, and contribute to institutional resilience in a dynamic environment. \nThe training is designed to cover the following topics: \n1: The Evolving Role of Audit Managers & Supervisors \n\nSupervisory responsibilities under ISAs and ISQM requirements.\nBalancing technical excellence with leadership responsibilities.\nBuilding a culture of audit quality and accountability.\n\n 2: Audit Quality and Risk-Based Audit Approaches \n\nEmbedding ISQM 1 & 2 into supervisory practice.\nEffective planning and risk assessment.\nTechniques for reviewing audit work to ensure accuracy and completeness.\n\n 3: Supervisory & Leadership Skills for Audit Managers \n\nDelegation\, coaching\, and motivating audit teams.\nConflict resolution and managing diverse teams.\nEffective communication with partners\, clients\, and audit staff.\n\nSession 4: Leveraging Technology in Audit Supervision \n\nRole of data analytics\, AI\, and audit software in modern audits.\nSupervisory responsibilities in technology-driven audits.\nChallenges and opportunities in digital transformation of audit.\n\n5: Ethics\, Professional Skepticism\, and Regulatory Updates \n\nManaging independence threats and ethical dilemmas.\nReinforcing professional skepticism at supervisory level.\nUpdates from regulators\, ICPAK\, and international bodies.\n\n 6: Practical Case Studies & Best Practices \n\nReal-world supervisory challenges in audit.\nLessons learned from engagement reviews and regulatory inspections.\nPanel discussion and peer exchange on supervisory excellence.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.
