SUMMARY:Overview of  INPAS Standards webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nOverview of INPAS Standards webinar\nDate: 5th March 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents a landmark development in financial reporting for the non-profit sector. Launched in October 2025 as the first globally recognized accounting standard specifically designed for non-profit organizations (NPOs)\, INPAS provides a unified\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique characteristics of nonprofits. Unlike traditional standards such as IFRS or national GAAP\, which primarily serve for-profit entities\, INPAS addresses sector-specific challenges including diverse funding sources\, donor restrictions\, and grant reporting. It emerged from the International Financial Reporting for Non-Profit Organisations (IFR4NPO) project\, led by CIPFA and Humentum\, following extensive global consultations over six years involving stakeholders from more than 40 countries. \nINPAS is built upon the foundation of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard\, adapting and extending it to better reflect non-profit realities. It applies to small\, medium\, and large NPOs that use accrual accounting\, offering guidance for preparing whole-of-entity financial statements that meet the needs of a wide range of users\, including donors\, regulators\, and beneficiaries. The standard emphasizes producing transparent\, credible\, and comparable financial reports while reducing inconsistencies that arise when NPOs apply multiple or mismatched frameworks across jurisdictions and funders. \nA core objective of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in non-profit finances worldwide. It tackles long-standing issues such as the recognition and measurement of grants and donations\, the clear distinction and presentation of restricted versus unrestricted funds\, and the integration of meaningful narrative reporting alongside financial data. By providing specific rules for these areas\, INPAS helps ensure that financial statements deliver decision-useful information\, enabling stakeholders to better understand an organization’s resource allocation\, performance\, and compliance with donor intentions. \nThe standard covers comprehensive recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements customized to non-profit activities and funding models. It includes a Practice Guide for harmonized grant reporting\, which aims to streamline compliance across different funders and significantly reduce the administrative burden on NPOs that previously faced duplicative or conflicting reporting demands. This harmonization is expected to improve efficiency\, cut compliance costs\, and foster greater consistency in how financial information is communicated globally. \nINPAS promotes comparability across borders and organizations\, allowing donors\, governments\, and the public to more reliably assess and compare non-profits regardless of location or size. ICPAK has endorsed the use of the standards and early uptake is anticipated to build credibility and support informed decision-making. The standard’s standalone nature means NPOs can apply it independently\, though publicly accountable entities must make appropriate disclosures if choosing INPAS over full IFRS. \nOverall\, INPAS marks the non-profit sector’s alignment with the kind of standardized\, high-quality financial reporting long available to for-profit entities. By establishing a single\, sector-dedicated benchmark\, it seeks to strengthen donor confidence\, facilitate cross-border operations\, and ultimately contribute to more effective and trustworthy non-profit work worldwide. As implementation progresses\, ongoing guidance and resources from the International Non-Profit Reporting Foundation (INPRF) will support the transition for organizations adopting the standard. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on the standard. \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals working in the NPO Sector\, external auditors\, consultants\, academia and other interested professionals.  \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 MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE\nDate: 9th – 13th March 2026 \nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nVenue: Travellers Beach Hotel and Club\, Mombasa\nTheme: Strategic Management Accounting for Value Creation\, Performance Excellence & Sustainable Growth \nOVERVIEW \nManagement accounting has transformed significantly from its traditional role of cost tracking and financial control to a strategic function that supports organizational value creation\, performance excellence\, and long-term sustainability. In an increasingly volatile business environment\, management accountants are now required to provide forward-looking insights\, integrate financial intelligence with strategic planning\, and enhance decision-making through robust analytical tools. This shift reflects the growing recognition of management accounting as a cornerstone of competitive advantage and institutional resilience. \nA strong management accounting framework brings together financial analysis\, risk management\, budgeting\, forecasting\, and performance monitoring into a cohesive system that drives strategic clarity. Through techniques such as scenario analysis\, cost optimization\, and strategic performance measurement\, management accountants help organizations align strategic objectives with daily operations. These functions empower leaders to anticipate emerging risks\, deploy resources efficiently\, and strengthen operational discipline in a way that enhances organizational agility and sustainability. \nOrganizations are also experiencing heightened expectations around accountability\, performance\, and resource stewardship. Management accounting plays an indispensable role in supporting these demands by offering structured tools such as variance analysis\, performance reviews\, and value-for-money assessments. These tools enable institutions to detect inefficiencies\, measure progress against strategic goals\, and ensure that financial decisions are aligned with long-term priorities. In environments where public trust\, governance\, and cost efficiency are critical\, the role of management accountants becomes even more central. \nDigital transformation is reshaping management accounting by introducing advanced tools such as automation\, predictive analytics\, digital dashboards\, and integrated reporting systems. These technologies enable real-time monitoring of performance\, more accurate forecasting\, and deeper insights into organizational dynamics. As organizations adopt these innovations\, management accountants are increasingly stepping into strategic leadership roles—driving transformation\, facilitating data-driven decisions\, and integrating financial and non-financial metrics to create a holistic performance landscape. \nIt is in response to these evolving demands that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Management Accounting & Strategy Conference. This program brings together accountants\, finance managers\, strategy professionals\, auditors\, public-sector leaders\, and governance practitioners to explore modern tools\, strategic frameworks\, and best practices in management accounting.

It will also be of practical use to entrepreneurs and owners of SMEs who want to meet their tax obligations in an efficient and consistent manner. Delivered over two days\, this course simplifies concepts into a structured approach that enables the participants to apply the learned concepts immediately within their work environments. The session also provides ample time for sharing knowledge\, learning from each other\, and seeking clarification on emerging issues in tax administration. \nBy the end of the programme\, participants will have developed their competence in preparing and filing various tax returns\, reconciling records\, interpreting relevant legislation\, and aligning their processes with best practice.

SUMMARY:CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nCORPORATE GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE\nTheme: Integrating Principles of Corporate Governance into The Values System of Leaders in Kenya\nDate: 16th to 20th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Hotel & Spa Mombasa \nINTRODUCTION \nCorporate governance is a system of rules\, policies\, and practices that dictate how a company’s board of directors manages and oversees the operations of a company. Corporate governance includes principles of transparency\, accountability\, and security. Poor corporate governance\, at best\, leads to a company failing to achieve its stated goals\, and\, at worst\, can lead to the collapse of the company and significant financial losses for shareholders. \nPerhaps one of the most important principles of corporate governance is the recognition of shareholders. The recognition is two-fold. First\, there is the basic recognition of the importance of shareholders to any company – people who buy the company’s stock fund its operations. Equity is one of the major sources of funding for businesses. Second\, from the basic recognition of shareholder importance follows the principle of responsibility to shareholders. The policy of allowing shareholders to elect a board of directors is critical. This means that shareholders\, effectively\, have a direct say in how a company is run. \nShareholder interest is a major part of corporate governance. Shareholders may reach out to the members of the community who don’t necessarily hold an interest in the company but who can nonetheless benefit from its goods or services. Reaching out to the members of the community encourages lines of communication that promote company transparency. It means that all members of the community – those who are directly or indirectly affected by the company – and members of the press get a clear sense of the company’s goals\, tactics\, and how it is doing in general. Transparency means that anyone\, whether inside or outside the company\, can choose to review and verify the company’s actions. This fosters trust and is likely to encourage more individuals to patronize the company and possibly become shareholders as well. \nAn increasingly important aspect of corporate governance is security. Shareholders and customers/clients need to feel confident that their personal information is not being leaked or accessed by unauthorized users. It’s equally important to ensure that the company’s proprietary processes and trade secrets are secure. A data breach is not just very expensive. It also weakens public trust in the company\, which can have a drastically negative effect on its stock price. Losing investor trust means losing access to capital that is necessary for corporate growth. Everyone in a company\, from entry-level staffers to members of the board\, needs to be well-versed in corporate security procedures such as passwords and authentication methods. \nLeadership\, both as a research area and as a practical skill\, encompasses the ability of an individual\, group or organization to lead\, influence or guide other individuals\, teams\, or entire organizations. Throughout history\, great leaders have emerged with leadership styles in providing direction\, implementing plans and motivating people. These can be broadly grouped into 5 different categories such as Authoritarian Leadership\, Participative Leadership\, Delegative Leadership\, Transactional Leadership and Transformational Leadership. Despite these definitions\, most leaders still struggle with the meaning of each leadership style mentioned above\, the difference between each leadership approach as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each style. This conference will explore each of these styles and provide an avenue for leaders to discuss on the best approach to take in leading their teams. \nAll leadership styles serve a purpose depending on the situation\, type of organization or industry\, and the personalities of the leadership and employees involved. The best approach is to become familiar with all leadership styles and understand the applications of each style. You will likely have a default style of leadership that you naturally exhibit or turn to. However\, it is important that you are flexible in how you lead others. To understand when to employ each type of leadership style it is essential to develop your ability to diagnose needs\, communicate effectively\, and be flexible in how you make decisions and interact with others. \nLeadership in business is the capacity of a company’s management to set and achieve challenging goals\, take fast and decisive action when needed\, outperform the competition\, and inspire others to perform at their highest levels. Leadership also speaks to a more holistic approach\, such as the tone of an organization or the culture that management establishes. Individuals with strong leadership skills in the business world often rise to executive positions. \nEffective leadership includes exhibiting a strong character. Leaders exhibit honesty\, integrity\, trustworthiness\, and ethics. Leaders act in line with how they speak and earn the right to be responsible for others’ success in the organization. Strong leadership involves clear communication skills. Leaders speak with and listen to staff members\, respond to questions and concerns\, and are empathetic. Leaders use effective communication skills for moving the company forward and achieving new levels of success. \nValues refer to beliefs or ideals shared by the members of a culture about what is good or bad\, desirable or undesirable. They are standards of conduct\, efficiency or worth which a society endorses\, maintains and even transmits to her members. Principles of Governance are normative principles that guide the state to perform its functions in a manner that promotes the general wellbeing of its people. \nNational Values and Principles of Governance are fundamental beliefs or ideals that guide the choices\, actions and behaviour of a nation. They are critical in building national identity and national character that guides the realization of national development. In addition\, National Values exert influence on the way individuals relate with one another\, how communities engage one another and how citizens and government interact to promote peace\, national unity and cohesion. \nNational Values and Principles of Governance are key in managing diversity and building national social capital that surpasses ethnic\, religious\, class and racial limitations. They cultivate internal social and cultural coherence which are based on national norms and interests that govern interactions focused on achieving national common good. It is because of the central role of values in organising\, inspiring\, transforming\, and guiding Kenyans that they are enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution. The National Values and Principles of Governance facilitate the building of bridges among communities\, ethnic\, religious\, and racial traditions and establish constitutionalism that binds and integrates Kenyans into a unitary nation-state.

SUMMARY:IPSAS Accrual Accounting - Nyanza Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIPSAS Accrual Accounting – Nyanza Branch\nTheme: Strengthening Public Financial Transparency Through IPSAS Accrual Accounting\nDate: 18th – 19th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Nyamira-Guardian Hotel \nOverview \nPublic sector financial management is increasingly moving toward transparency\, accountability\, and improved decision-making. The adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis is a critical reform that enhances the quality\, comparability\, and credibility of public sector financial reporting. \nWhile many public sector entities are transitioning from cash-based to accrual-based accounting\, challenges remain in understanding IPSAS requirements\, applying accrual concepts\, and translating standards into day-to-day accounting practices. \nThe Kenyan cabinet in March 2024 approved the transition from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting with effect from 1st July 2024. The accrual basis of accounting\, as outlined by IPSAS\, provides a more accurate picture of a government’s financial position and performance by recognizing transactions when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid. \nThis move is necessitated by the short-coming of cash basis of accounting with its attendant weaknesses arising from the point of view o financial transparency\, integrity and accountability.  Governments that follow cash basis of accounting tend not to maintain comprehensive and up-to date records of the value of their assets and liabilities. \nWhile many organizations have adopted IPSAS in principle\, practical challenges remain in compiling\, analyzing\, and reporting accrual-based financial statements. \nThese organizations\, often require hands on training to ensure they can correctly apply IPSAS requirements\, prepare compliant financial statements\, and understand the implications of accrual adjustments and disclosures. This workshop is designed to strengthen technical capacity and practical understanding of IPSAS Accrual Accounting\, with a focus on real-world application. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations of IPSAS Accrual Accounting \n\nOverview of IPSAS and the IPSASB framework\nCash vs. Accrual Accounting: Key differences and benefits\nConceptual Framework for General Purpose Financial Reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nAccounting for assets (property\, plant and equipment\, intangibles)\nGroup discussions and practical examples\n\nApplication and Financial Reporting \n\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\nAccounting for liabilities\, provisions\, and contingent liabilities\nRevenue and expense recognition under accrual IPSAS\nPresentation of financial statements under IPSAS Accrual\nDisclosures and notes to financial statements\nCommon implementation challenges and mitigation strategies\nCase studies and practical exercises\nWay forward and institutional action planning\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers\nInternal and external auditors\nBudget and planning officers\nTreasury and financial management staff\nSenior managers involved in financial reporting and oversight\n\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 seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000. Charges will cater for the seminar  fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking:\nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory  Online Booking We call on workshop participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com and will close one day before the training session. Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the training is mandatory. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement:\nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:IPSAS Accrual Accounting Workshop- North Rift Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIPSAS Accrual Accounting Workshop (North-Rift Branch)\nTheme: Advancing Public Financial Management through IPSAS Accrual Accounting\nDate: 18th – 19th March\nTime: 9.00AM – 4.00PM\nVenue: Ateker Hotel Limited\, Lodwar Turkana \nOverview \nPublic sector entities globally continue to transition from cash-basis accounting to the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) Accrual basis to enhance financial transparency\, accountability\, comparability\, and decision-usefulness of financial information. \nIn Kenya\, this reform agenda gained significant momentum following the Cabinet approval in March 2024 of the transition from cash-basis to accrual-basis accounting with effect from 1 July 2024. This transition marks a critical milestone in public financial management reforms and places increased responsibility on accounting officers\, finance teams\, auditors\, and oversight institutions to prepare and use accrual-based financial information. \nWhile cash-basis accounting focuses on cash flows\, it does not provide a comprehensive view of an entity’s financial position\, assets\, liabilities\, commitments\, and long-term obligations. Consequently\, governments operating under cash basis often lack complete and up-to-date records of assets and liabilities\, limiting fiscal transparency and informed decision-making. The adoption of IPSAS Accrual accounting addresses these limitations by recognizing transactions and events when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid\, thereby providing a more faithful representation of financial performance and position. \nTopical areas are as follows: \n\nProperty\, Plant and Equipment & Intangible Assets\n\n\nRecognition and measurement of PPE (IPSAS 17)\nDepreciation\, revaluation\, impairment\, and derecognition\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31): identification and valuation\n\n\nRevenue Recognition in the Public Sector\n\n\nRevenue from exchange transactions (IPSAS 9)\nRevenue from non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 23)\nGrants\, transfers\, and conditional funding\n\n\nEmployee Benefits\n\n\nOverview of IPSAS 39\nShort-term\, post-employment\, and other long-term benefits\nRecognition and measurement challenges\n\n\nLeases – IPSAS 43\n\n\nRight-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability\nDetermining the lease term\nRecognition criteria\nInitial measurement of; ROU asset & Lease liability\nSubsequent accounting; Depreciation of ROU assets & Interest and remeasurement of lease liabilities\n\n\nInventory – IPSAS 12\n\n\nScope\nRecognition and measurement of inventory\nInventory valuation\nInventory control and verification\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\n\n\nSustainability Reporting for the Public Sector\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Compliance and Risk Management Officers\, Internal and External Auditors. \n Continuous 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 seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR COUNTY GOVERNMENTS AND OTHER PUBLIC-SECTOR ENTITIES 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nFINANCIAL REPORTING FOR COUNTY GOVERNMENTS & OTHER PUBLIC-SECTOR ENTITIES 2026\nDate: 23rd -27th March 2026 \nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort\, Mombasa\nTheme: Strengthening Public Sector Accountability through Enhanced Financial Reporting Practices \nOVERVIEW \nHigh-quality financial reporting remains a cornerstone of good governance\, prudent resource management\, and public accountability across County Governments and public-sector institutions. In a context where citizens increasingly demand transparency and evidence-based decision-making\, financial reports must provide a clear\, accurate\, and comprehensive reflection of how public resources have been planned\, allocated\, and utilized. Robust reporting enhances credibility\, supports better oversight\, and enables institutions to demonstrate stewardship over assets\, liabilities\, and public funds. As governance evolves\, financial reporting is no longer a routine administrative function but a strategic tool that directly influences trust\, service delivery\, and institutional legitimacy. \nEffective financial reporting requires more than compiling figures at year-end. It is built on well-structured processes\, a strong internal control environment\, and adherence to established standards such as those issued by the Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (PSASB)\, which align with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This includes consistent application of recognition\, measurement\, and disclosure principles; maintenance of reliable asset registers; regular reconciliations; and preparation of budgets that clearly articulate strategic priorities. When executed properly\, these standards enhance comparability across public institutions and strengthen compliance with statutory requirements under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and its associated regulations. \nDespite advancements in public financial management reforms\, County Governments and public-sector entities continue to face persistent challenges that undermine the quality of financial statements. These include incomplete asset valuation exercises\, pending bills\, irregular expenditure\, weak documentation\, limited automation\, skills gaps\, and inconsistencies in applying IPSAS-compliant templates. Such challenges contribute to recurring audit queries\, delay in reporting\, reduced fiscal discipline\, and diminished public trust. Addressing these issues requires targeted interventions\, capacity building\, and leadership commitment to improving financial management systems and practices. \nThe public sector now operates in a dynamic environment shaped by evolving regulations\, heightened audit expectations\, technological disruption\, and increased scrutiny from citizens and oversight bodies. Complex issues such as climate-related disclosures\, budget execution pressures\, stalled development projects\, and governance risks demand robust and forward-looking reporting frameworks. County Governments must adopt modern approaches that integrate financial data with risk\, performance\, and service delivery information. Strengthening these linkages ensures that financial reports are not only compliant but also relevant\, insightful\, and aligned with national development agendas. \nFurthermore\, dependence on traditional manual processes exposes entities to errors\, inefficiencies\, and compliance challenges. Emerging digital solutions—including integrated financial management systems (such as IFMIS)\, digital asset registers\, automated reconciliations\, and analytics tools—offer opportunities to enhance accuracy\, timeliness\, and transparency. The adoption of these tools\, supported by trained professionals and sound internal controls\, enables institutions to transition from reactive financial reporting to proactive\, data-driven decision-making. This transformation strengthens accountability\, supports evidence-based budgeting\, and ensures that public resources are managed responsibly. \nIn response to these developments\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this comprehensive program to build the technical and practical competencies required for preparing high-quality financial statements in line with PSASB and reporting requirements. The training provides an in-depth exploration of reporting standards\, budgeting frameworks\, audit processes\, internal controls\, asset management\, and emerging trends in public-sector reporting. Through expert-led sessions\, case studies\, and peer learning\, participants will gain practical insights into common pitfalls\, receive updated templates and tools\, and develop actionable strategies to strengthen financial reporting\, enhance governance\, and improve service delivery within their respective institutions. \nDuring the workshop the following areas will be covered: – \n\nPublic Sector Budgeting: Feedback from the Office of the Controller of Budget\nCashflow Management and financial planning for counties\n\n\nLong-term financial sustainability analysis\nRevenue forecasting and modeling\nFiscal strategy development\nBudget-performance linkage\nFinancial scenario planning\n\n\nDeferred Income & Taxation in the Public Sector\n\n\nRecognition & measurement of deferred income under IPSAS 23\nTreatment of conditional vs unconditional grants\nPAYE\, VAT & Withholding tax compliance for counties\nTax implications of county revenue streams\n\n4.

SUMMARY:Webinar IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers\nDate: 24th March 2026\nTime: 4.00pm-6.00pm\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nBefore IFRS 15 came into effect\, revenue recognition in Kenya was guided by a patchwork of older standards—mainly IAS 11 (Construction Contracts) and IAS 18 (Revenue)—each with differing principles and inconsistent application across industries. This created challenges in comparability and interpretation\, especially for entities with complex or long-term contracts. \nThe introduction of IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers\, effective January 2018\, revolutionized revenue recognition by introducing a single\, principles-based model applicable to all industries. IFRS 15 established a clear five-step framework for recognizing revenue\, ensuring that financial statements reflect the amount and timing of revenue that truly represents the transfer of goods or services to customers. \nFor Kenyan businesses\, correct application of IFRS 15 is critical in promoting trust\, consistency\, and transparency among investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and clients. The standard continues to be the cornerstone for how companies—from construction and telecommunications to financial services and technology—measure and report revenue from customer contracts. As entities integrate digital business models\, performance-based contracts\, and subscription services\, revisiting IFRS 15’s requirements remain crucial for accurate reporting and compliance. \nICPAK has organized this webinar to discuss the following key areas: \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 15\nThe 5-step revenue recognition model\nTypes of contracts and transaction prices\n\n\nComplex Contract Scenarios & Multi-Element Arrangements: Recognition challenges in bundled goods\, services\, and performance obligations.\n\n\nTypes of warranties under IFRS 15\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\n\n\nVariable Consideration & Revenue Estimation Updates: Latest guidance on handling discounts\, rebates\, and contingent payments.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nCPD Units \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kes. 1\,000. Charges will cater for the course fees\, learning 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. \nNita Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:GRANTS MANAGEMENT\, COMPLIANCE AND FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nGRANTS MANAGEMENT\, COMPLIANCE & FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR\nDate: 30th March – 2nd April 2026 \nVenue: SAROVA WOODLADS HOTEL\, NAKURU\nTheme: “Strengthening Grants Management and Financial Reporting to Safeguard Donor Confidence” \nOVERVIEW \nThe operational and accountability landscape for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) and grant-funded entities is becoming increasingly complex and demanding. Stakeholders\, including donors\, regulators\, beneficiaries\, and the public\, require enhanced transparency\, rigorous compliance\, and comprehensive reporting that goes beyond mere financial numbers to demonstrate impact and sustainability. \nA pivotal development in this environment is the gradual adoption and transition to the International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS). These standards provide a globally accepted accounting framework tailored specifically for the unique characteristics of not-for-profit entities. Transitioning to INPAS requires NPOs to strengthen their financial management systems\, adopt accrual accounting principles\, improve recognition of assets and liabilities\, and enhance the accuracy and consistency of financial reporting. This transition poses significant challenges\, including revising accounting policies\, training finance teams\, and aligning donor reporting with new standards\, all while maintaining operational continuity and compliance with varying donor requirements. \nIn parallel\, there is growing recognition of the importance of narrative reporting in the nonprofit sector. Donors and stakeholders increasingly seek richer contextual information that links financial inputs to programme outcomes and social impact. Narrative reporting complements financial statements by providing qualitative insights into how funds are utilized to achieve mission objectives\, thereby fostering trust\, accountability\, and informed decision-making. \nEffective budgeting is another cornerstone of sound grants management. Accurate and realistic budgets enable NPOs to allocate resources efficiently\, respond to dynamic programme needs\, and comply with donor restrictions and cost recovery policies. However\, many organizations face challenges in preparing budgets that balance operational realities with donor expectations\, including handling multi-year grants\, exchange rate volatility\, and overhead allocations. \nAdditionally\, the rising global emphasis on Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) considerations is reshaping how NPOs operate and report. Stakeholders now expect nonprofits to embed ESG principles into their governance\, operational practices\, and reporting frameworks. This includes managing environmental impacts\, promoting social inclusion and equity\, and demonstrating good governance and ethical practices. Integrating ESG into financial and narrative reporting enhances organizational resilience\, donor confidence\, and the overall sustainability of programmes. \nThis seminar aims to equip grants managers\, finance professionals\, programme officers\, and compliance personnel with the knowledge\, skills\, and practical tools to effectively manage grants through the entire lifecycle\, ensure compliance with donor and regulatory requirements\, prepare robust financial and narrative reports\, and integrate ESG considerations into their operations. By addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by INPAS transition\, narrative reporting\, effective budgeting\, and ESG integration\, the seminar supports NPOs to strengthen accountability\, improve audit readiness\, and demonstrate their commitment to transparent\, impactful stewardship of resources. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nGrants Landscape & the Grant Lifecycle \n \n·         Fundamentals of Grants Management \n·         Types of grants \n·         Key stages \n·         Roles & responsibilities\n\n\nGrant Agreements\, Terms & Conditions\, and Compliance Obligations\n·         Relationship between actuarial valuation reports and financial statements \n·         Interpreting grant agreements\, annexes and budget lines. \n·         Common restrictive clauses (eligibility\, branding\, procurement rules\, currencies). \n·         Compliance calendars and performance indicators.\n\n\nBudgeting for Grants: From Proposal to Approved Budget\n·         Types of costs: direct vs indirect\, capital vs recurrent\, allocable vs unallowable. \n·         Cost principles\, allocation methods and overheads/indirect cost rates. \n·         Budget revisions and re-forecasting \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nProcurement\, Asset Management & Eligible Costs\n·         Donor procurement rules vs procurement best practice. \n·         Tendering\, supplier selection\, contract management and conflict-of-interest controls. \n·         Capitalisation\, fixed assets register and disposals under donors’ rules. \n \n\n\nINPAS: Purpose\, Scope and Strategic Implications for Kenyan NPOs\n·         Why INPAS was developed and its principal objectives (transparency\, comparability\, credibility). \n·         INPAS’ scope\, relationship to IFRS for SMEs / IFRS / IPSAS and when NPOs should use it. \n·         High-level differences NPOs must anticipate (fund accounting\, narrative reporting\, grant treatment). \n·         Strategic implications for boards\, funders and auditors;

Despite these changes\, it is imperative to underscore the fact that the ability of an auditor to effectively identify and assess risks of material misstatement is the foundation of audit quality. At the heart of this process lies ISA 315 (Revised)\, the standard that governs how auditors understand entities\, their environments\, and related risks. \nThis 2-hour practical webinar is designed to provide audit practitioners with a clear\, applied\, and contemporary understanding of ISA 315\, with emphasis on its revised requirements\, enhanced risk assessment procedures\, and stronger linkage between risk identification and audit responses. \nThe session will examine how auditors are expected to: \n\nDevelop a deep understanding of the entity and its environment\nEvaluate information systems and internal controls\nIdentify and assess inherent and control risks\nIncorporate the impact of technology\, automation\, and digital systems\nStrengthen professional skepticism and fraud risk assessment\n\nParticular focus will be placed on practical application\, including documentation expectations\, common inspection findings\, and how weak risk assessment directly undermines audit quality. The webinar will also highlight regulatory and practice challenges within the Kenyan context\, helping practitioners align with both international standards and local oversight expectations. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will have enhanced confidence in applying ISA 315 effectively\, strengthening audit planning\, improving audit responses\, and delivering higher-quality\, risk-focused assurance engagements. \nTarget Audience \nThis training is not limited to accountancy only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \nContinuous Professional Development Units\nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFinancial Commitment: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n \n\n\nAssociate Members\n\nKes. 1\,000\n\n\n\nFull Members\n\nKes. 1\,000\n\n\n\nNon-Member\n\nKes. 1\,000\n\n\n\n\nNote: This is virtual training and therefore training materials\, meals and other related provisions are not required. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. \nDelegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.

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

SUMMARY:THE 9TH BOARD MASTERCLASS
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 9TH BOARD MASTERCLASS\nTheme: Agile and Future-Ready Boards: Driving Value\, Resilience\, and Strategic Leadership\nDATE: 13TH – 17TH APRIL 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM\nVENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA\, MOMBASA \nOVERVIEW \nBoards of directors are the ultimate custodians of an organization’s purpose\, mission\, and long-term value creation. They carry the responsibility of guiding institutions through complex and often unpredictable environments while ensuring that stakeholder trust\, public accountability\, and organizational integrity are upheld. In today’s fast-evolving landscape\, boards are confronted with unprecedented pressures that range from technological disruption\, rapid digitization\, and market volatility to regulatory shifts\, ESG imperatives\, climate-related risks\, geopolitical instability\, and heightened expectations from investors\, regulators\, and the public for transparency\, accountability\, and sustainable impact. \nThe ability to respond effectively to these multidimensional pressures requires more than technical expertise; it calls for strategic foresight\, adaptive leadership\, emotional intelligence\, and a profound understanding of governance dynamics. Board members must make informed\, forward-looking decisions while simultaneously fostering alignment\, collaboration\, and cohesion among diverse stakeholders within and outside the boardroom. \nThe role of the board chair has never been more critical. Chairs are tasked with orchestrating the board’s overall effectiveness\, navigating the interplay of diverse personalities\, resolving conflicts\, and ensuring that governance processes are executed efficiently and transparently. They must cultivate strong\, productive relationships with the CEO\, Board Secretary\, and management team while ensuring that directors collectively exercise their fiduciary duties to the highest standard. The effectiveness of the chair in balancing the contributions of both first-time and experienced directors can significantly influence board culture\, decision-making quality\, and organizational performance. Similarly\, boards must actively work to establish a culture of trust\, accountability\, and continuous learning\, while ensuring that strategic priorities are translated into actionable outcomes for the organization. \nThe 21st-century boardroom is no longer a ceremonial space reserved for quarterly reviews or compliance reporting. It has evolved into a dynamic and strategic arena where governance\, strategy\, risk management\, and stakeholder engagement converge. Directors are expected to cultivate agility\, enabling them to anticipate change\, respond effectively in real time\, and make decisions under uncertainty. Agile boards are characterized by their ability to embrace diversity of thought\, encourage psychological safety\, promote constructive dissent\, and challenge entrenched assumptions. They are courageous and innovative\, willing to rethink strategy\, disrupt legacy processes\, and lead organizational transformation while maintaining focus on long-term sustainability. In this environment\, boards that fail to adapt risk falling behind\, as stakeholders increasingly demand evidence of proactive leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and measurable organizational impact. \nSustainability and ESG considerations have transitioned from peripheral topics to central elements of board responsibility. Directors are expected to oversee climate action\, social initiatives\, ethical conduct\, and integrated reporting with the same rigor traditionally applied to financial oversight. Boards must ensure that ESG strategies are aligned with organizational objectives\, embedded into decision-making frameworks\, and communicated transparently to stakeholders. In parallel\, the rapid advancement of technology has transformed how boards operate. Digital intelligence—including AI\, data governance\, cybersecurity\, and emerging tech—requires directors to be well-versed in tech-driven risks and opportunities\, enabling them to provide strategic oversight of digital transformation initiatives. The convergence of ESG\, technological innovation\, and governance demands that boards operate with both strategic acumen and operational insight to safeguard the organization’s long-term viability. \nThe 9th Board Masterclass is designed to equip both new and experienced directors with the mindset\, knowledge\, and practical tools necessary to lead high-performing\, resilient\, and future-ready boards. Over five days\, participants will engage in expert-led sessions\, case studies\, interactive simulations\, and peer learning\, exploring contemporary topics including board leadership\, culture\, performance\, risk governance\, sustainability\, digital transformation\, and strategic foresight. Beyond technical and strategic competencies\, the Masterclass emphasizes the human dimensions of governance—interpersonal dynamics\, leadership styles\, conflict resolution\, and cultural factors that influence boardroom effectiveness. Participants will also gain insights into practical approaches for fostering inclusive\, adaptive\, and agile boards capable of responding to change while maintaining ethical standards and public trust. \nBy the conclusion of this Masterclass\, participants will have developed the knowledge\, skills\, and confidence to make informed strategic decisions\, foster board cohesion\, champion ESG and digital initiatives\, and lead with integrity\, foresight\, and resilience. The program serves not only as a comprehensive learning experience but also as a leadership retreat and strategic reset. It challenges boards to reflect on their current practices\, anticipate emerging trends\, and adopt governance approaches that maximize value\, enhance organizational resilience\, and ensure sustainable impact in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Board Competence: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Strategic Board Leadership\n1.

SUMMARY:PRACTICAL ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE SEMINAR 2026 Mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPRACTICAL ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE SEMINAR\nTheme: Enhancing professionalism and personal values for professional accountants\nDate: 13th – 17th April 2026\nTime: 9 am – 4 pm\nVenue: Enashipai\, Naivasha. \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nAt its simplest\, ethics is a system of moral principles or rules that say what is and what is not acceptable. Ethics are largely described as the principles that guide a person’s behaviour while undertaking day to day activities. Occasionally\, in certain jurisdictions some ethical values get enacted as laws. Governing laws are structured rules utilized to govern a society whereas ethics are a set of moral values an individual establishes. Ethical behaviours apply to any employee\, team leader or supervisor. They should display a behaviour that is honest and fair in their relationship with their co-workers and clients. A culture of ethical businesses is vital to the success of any business. \nA leader who personifies ethical behaviour will be fair in all situations. In turn\, employees will trust their leadership team and aid in achievement of the organizational goals. Ethical behaviour includes honesty\, integrity\, fairness and a host of other positive traits. Businesses are expected to act in an ethically responsible manner\, carrying out its activities in a legal manner even when the business has nothing to benefit from being ethical. Professional ethics provides a means to solve certain ethical problems related to a particular profession. Professional ethics contain the ideals that govern the conduct of a professional or a group of them. This means that an ethical business will act in a socially responsible way\, doing what is right even if it is not required to do so by legislation or regulation\, and regardless of the impact it might have on profits. Professionals are required to practice reasonable\, responsible and transparent behaviour that consciously avoids harmful actions by embodying high ethical standards. \nProfessional ethics in business is paramount and more so in the accounting profession where the end user of information and services has to place trust in the professionals. Professional accountants are constantly faced with ethical dilemmas such as lack of independence in practice\, conflict of interest\, falsified financial reports\, and facilitating or receiving bribes etc however they are required to carry out their roles in a rational\, accountable and transparent manner by upholding high ethical standards to avoid unethical actions. \nConsequently\, the rise in ethical issues all over the world means that all professionals contribute to at least a percentage and even the most properly regulated professional bodies globally have developed a set of standards that have to be adhered to by the members. This explains the need for professional ethics and their application for members. It is in this context Institute has organized a two-day virtual workshop to explore the ethical considerations which are practically applicable in the workplace and as expected professionally. \nThe International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) develops and promotes the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards). The IESBA also supports debate on issues related to accounting ethics and auditor independence. In 2018\, the IESBA issued a revised and restructured Code which came into effect in June 2019. The revised and restructured Code includes many substantive revisions\, including in relation to non-compliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR). The 2018 version of the Code makes it clear that professional accountant\, in whatever capacity they are engaged\, cannot turn a blind eye to NOCLAR. The provisions in the Code\, including NOCLAR guide ethical behavior and help professional accountants uphold their responsibility to act in the public interest. The IESBA Code also includes a principles-based definition of what constitutes a network. The definition covers the way a group of companies operate and present themselves and is consistent with the Statutory Audit Directive. \nAll accountants are expected to subscribe to this code of ethics. With the growing necessity for patriotic and nationalistic individuals to step up to lead the country in every sector that they are involved in\, it is in this recognition that the Institute has organized for the Practical Ethics and Compliance Seminar to address: \nTOPICS \n\nOverview of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants-Practical Application of International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\nImportant ethical requirements that professional accountants should keep in mind:\n\n\nResponsibilities\nPublic Interest\nIntegrity\nObjectivity and Independence\nDue Care\nScope and Nature of Services\n\n\nEthical dilemmas for professional accountants in public and private sectors\nProfessional Ethics in Practice – Considerations for the Accountant\, personal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nThe Corruption Challenge in Kenya and Ethical Perspectives-Lessons from the EACC on ethics for professionals and the fight against corruption\nAssessing the true cost of corruption and unethical behavior to the business\nPersonal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nProfessional Misconduct and the Ethical Link – Insights from the ICPAK Disciplinary Committee\nBuilding an Ethical Organization and Capability Among Professionals\nRole of the accountant in sustainable governance\nEthical issues in the workplace/business\nEmerging issues and trends on ethics\, risk\, and reporting\nBroader view of board diversity to include ethnicity and race\nSetting up an effective internal controls’ framework in support of organizational ethics and integrity\nOrganisational Culture and its impact on ethics for professionals: Effective tone at the top in setting the right culture\nEthics and Leadership\n\n\nAccounting Professionals as an ethical role model and guardian of integrity\nIntegrating integrity into business strategy and corporate culture\nMobilizing people to make a positive change in the world and promote public values\nPractical approaches of reducing corporate failures\n\n\nDeveloping resilience- Mental health for professionals\n\nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\n**Charges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance.  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 2026 Practical Ethics & Compliance Seminar. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.
