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.

SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum-Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Mental Health\nTheme- Strengthening Wellbeing\, Resilience\, and Professional Performance Through Mental Health Awareness\nTime: 04pm-06pm\nDate: 15th April 2026\nVenue- ICPAK Auditorium\, CPA Centre \nOverview: \nMental health has emerged as a central pillar of professional effectiveness\, resilience\, and sustainable performance. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders\, mental health awareness is critical in navigating high-pressure environments\, tight deadlines\, regulatory scrutiny\, and stakeholder expectations. It encompasses the ability to recognize\, understand\, and manage one’s own mental and emotional wellbeing\, while also fostering supportive relationships and healthy work environments. \nA strong foundation in mental health awareness enhances self-care\, stress management\, emotional regulation\, and resilience. Professionals equipped with these skills are better able to maintain focus\, make sound decisions under pressure\, manage work-related stress\, and engage constructively with colleagues\, clients\, and stakeholders. Recognizing early warning signs\, developing coping strategies\, and accessing support are vital competencies that enable individuals and teams to thrive\, even in high-stakes professional contexts. \nOrganizations and professional environments that prioritize mental health see tangible benefits in performance\, collaboration\, and innovation. Teams with mentally healthy work cultures demonstrate higher engagement\, psychological safety\, accountability\, and adaptive capacity. Leaders who model and promote mental wellbeing create environments where individuals feel supported\, empowered\, and motivated to contribute meaningfully. As professional workplaces contend with long hours\, complex client demands\, and remote or hybrid work dynamics\, mental health awareness has become essential for sustainable professional growth and organizational resilience. \nThis Evening Networking Forum offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of mental health while engaging in a physical\, interactive setting. Through guided discussions\, scenario-based activities\, and practical exercises\, participants will explore strategies to manage stress\, maintain resilience\, and support colleagues’ mental wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum-Mental Health (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Mental Health\nTheme- Strengthening Wellbeing\, Resilience\, and Professional Performance Through Mental Health Awareness\nTime: 04pm-06pm\nDate: 15th April 2026\nVenue- Zoom \nOverview: \nMental health has emerged as a central pillar of professional effectiveness\, resilience\, and sustainable performance. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders\, mental health awareness is critical in navigating high-pressure environments\, tight deadlines\, regulatory scrutiny\, and stakeholder expectations. It encompasses the ability to recognize\, understand\, and manage one’s own mental and emotional wellbeing\, while also fostering supportive relationships and healthy work environments. \nA strong foundation in mental health awareness enhances self-care\, stress management\, emotional regulation\, and resilience. Professionals equipped with these skills are better able to maintain focus\, make sound decisions under pressure\, manage work-related stress\, and engage constructively with colleagues\, clients\, and stakeholders. Recognizing early warning signs\, developing coping strategies\, and accessing support are vital competencies that enable individuals and teams to thrive\, even in high-stakes professional contexts. \nOrganizations and professional environments that prioritize mental health see tangible benefits in performance\, collaboration\, and innovation. Teams with mentally healthy work cultures demonstrate higher engagement\, psychological safety\, accountability\, and adaptive capacity. Leaders who model and promote mental wellbeing create environments where individuals feel supported\, empowered\, and motivated to contribute meaningfully. As professional workplaces contend with long hours\, complex client demands\, and remote or hybrid work dynamics\, mental health awareness has become essential for sustainable professional growth and organizational resilience. \nThis Evening Networking Forum offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of mental health while engaging in a physical\, interactive setting. Through guided discussions\, scenario-based activities\, and practical exercises\, participants will explore strategies to manage stress\, maintain resilience\, and support colleagues’ mental wellbeing. The session blends learning with networking\, allowing participants to practice insights in real interpersonal interactions in a supportive environment. \nA practical component\, The Mental Health Mirror\, enables participants to reflect on personal stress triggers\, coping mechanisms\, and behavioral patterns that affect wellbeing.

SUMMARY:THE ANNUAL CONVENTION FOR CEOs\, ACCOUNTING OFFICERS AND CECs
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE ANNUAL CONVENTION FOR CEOs\, ACCOUNTING OFFICERS & CECs\nTheme: Future-Ready Leadership: Driving Value\, Resilience & Strategic Impact\nDate: 20th – 24th April 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nINTRODUCTION\nLeadership\, governance\, and public sector accountability continue to serve as foundational pillars for national development\, public confidence\, and institutional effectiveness across the world. In recent years\, Kenya—like many countries across Africa and beyond—has experienced significant shifts in its governance\, fiscal management\, and public service delivery landscape. These developments have been influenced by technological advancements\, evolving regulatory frameworks\, heightened public scrutiny\, and a global push toward ethical leadership\, transparency\, and sustainable development. Increasingly\, leaders are required to operate in environments defined by complexity\, uncertainty\, and accelerated change. \nIn Kenya\, rising fiscal pressures\, growing public expectations\, and intensified demands for accountability have compelled public institutions to rethink how they manage resources\, deliver services\, and uphold ethical standards. County Governments\, State Corporations\, and national agencies face competing priorities: addressing revenue constraints\, strengthening internal controls\, improving procurement management\, leveraging technology\, and aligning institutional mandates with national development agendas such as Vision 2030\, MTP IV\, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA)\, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nAt the same time\, the digital transformation of government processes—ranging from e-citizen services to automated financial management systems—has reshaped how leaders plan\, execute\, monitor\, and account for public resources. These shifts demand leaders who possess not only technical and strategic competency\, but also agility\, ethical grounding\, and the ability to lead high-performance institutions in dynamic environments. \nRegional integration within the East African Community\, global economic realignments\, and shifting geopolitical dynamics have further underscored the need for resilient\, future-ready leadership. As public and private sector organizations expand their mandates\, adopt new technologies\, and navigate increasing risk exposure\, executives must be well-equipped to evaluate emerging threats\, leverage innovation\, strengthen stakeholder engagement\, and build systems that promote stability and long-term sustainability. Issues such as public debt sustainability\, environmental and social governance (ESG)\, climate-related risks\, service delivery challenges\, and growing citizen demands have made leadership more complex than ever before. \nAmidst these pressures\, the need for strong ethical leadership\, strategic decision-making\, and governance excellence has grown significantly. Executives must be capable of cultivating integrity-driven institutional cultures\, managing reputational risk\, enhancing communication with stakeholders\, and ensuring compliance with the law while upholding public trust. The expectations placed on CEOs\, Accounting Officers\, and CECs have deepened\, requiring a blend of strategic foresight\, operational discipline\, ethical awareness\, and collaborative leadership. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Annual Convention for CEOs\, Accounting Officers & CECs provides a timely\, high-impact\, and forward-looking platform for capacity building\, policy dialogue\, and practical learning. The five-day convention brings together senior leaders\, policymakers\, governance experts\, and technical specialists to explore best practices\, emerging issues\, and innovative approaches shaping leadership in Kenya’s public and private sectors. Through knowledge-sharing\, panel discussions\, case studies\, and interactive sessions\, the convention equips participants with the frameworks\, insights\, and tools necessary to enhance institutional performance\, strengthen governance structures\, manage risks\, and deliver sustainable public value. \nANNUAL CONVENTION OBJECTIVES\nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\n Strengthen understanding of enterprise risk management foundations: Deepen knowledge of core risk management principles\, frameworks\, and best practices relevant to accountants\, auditors\, and risk champions.\n Enhance capacity in risk identification and analysis: Build skills in recognizing\, documenting\, and analyzing risks using structured methodologies\, stakeholder engagement techniques\, and evidence-based approaches.\n\niii. Develop competence in risk classification and evaluation: Understand how to categorize risks—strategic\, operational\, financial\, and compliance—and assess their significance\, likelihood\, and potential impact on organizational performance. \n\n Improve proficiency in risk assessment and prioritization: Apply practical tools and assessment matrices to evaluate risk severity\, determine priorities\, and support informed decision-making.\n Strengthen ability to plan and implement risk mitigation strategies: Learn to design practical\, actionable\, and cost-effective mitigation plans aligned with organizational objectives and governance expectations.\n Advance skills in building and reviewing risk registers: Master the preparation\, structuring\, and continuous review of risk registers as dynamic tools for monitoring risk exposures and supporting strategic oversight.\n\nvii. Enhance knowledge of technology-enabled risk management: Explore how GRC platforms\, cloud-based solutions\, and automated tools enhance risk tracking\, reporting\, visualization\, and documentation. \nviii. Promote ethical and professional conduct in risk governance: Reinforce integrity\, independence\, and accountability as central pillars of effective risk management and audit practice. \n\n Strengthen application of scenario analysis: Gain practical experience in modeling interconnected risks\, stress-testing assumptions\, and evaluating the resilience of mitigation measures.\n Foster practical capability through casework and exercises: Engage in hands-on sessions\, group assignments\, and real-world case studies to translate risk-based audit planning concepts into actionable skills.\n Support continuous professional development: Enhance technical competence and practical readiness of accountants and auditors in line with ICPAK’s professional standards\, regulatory expectations\, and CPD requirements.\n\nANNUAL CONVENTION TOPICS\nThe  Annual Convention for CEOs\, Accounting Officers & CECs will delve into the following topical areas among others: \nTheme 1: Strategic Leadership and Governance Excellence \n\nLeadership Competencies for Modern CEOs and Accounting Officers\nBoard Dynamics\, Roles\, Responsibilities & Effective Oversight\nStrengthening Collaboration with Senior Management & Stakeholders\n\nTheme 2: Risk\, Resilience & Decision-Making \n\nEnterprise Risk Management for Executives\nRisk-Informed Decision-Making and Scenario Planning\nCrisis Management\, Continuity Planning & Organizational Resilience\n\nTheme 3: Financial Stewardship & Accountability \n\nOversight of Public and Private Resources\nEthical Financial Management\, Compliance & Audit Readiness\nReporting\, Transparency & Accountability for Decision-Making\nFeedback from OAG & COB\n\nTheme 4: Change\, Digital Transformation & Stakeholder Engagement \n\nLeading Institutional Change and Transformation\nLeveraging Technology\, Data & Digital Systems for Performance\nCommunication\, Public Engagement & Strengthening Public Confidence\n\nTheme 5: Sustainability\, ESG & Public Value \n\nIntegrating ESG Principles into Strategy and Operations\nAligning Institutional Goals with SDGs & National Development Priorities\nCounty Government Sustainability\, OSR Enhancement & Service Delivery\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe Convention will be beneficial to CEOs\, Managing Directors\, General Managers\, Deputy CEOs\, CECs from County Governments\, Academia and other interested professionals.  \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements.\n\nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the Convention. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on all participants to note that booking 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 and is available online at www.icpak.com/events. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING) physical option
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Enhancing Competence and Excellence in Financial Reporting\nDate: 20th -24th April 2026\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino Thika Road\, Nairobi\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe landscape of financial reporting is evolving at an unprecedented pace\, driven by global regulatory reforms\, rapid technological advancements\, and the growing expectations of stakeholders for transparency\, accuracy\, and timely information. Organizations rely on financial reporting not only to meet compliance requirements but also as a strategic tool that informs decision-making\, resource allocation\, and performance evaluation. In this context\, accountants and finance professionals play a pivotal role in ensuring that financial statements are both reliable and relevant\, reflecting the true financial position and performance of the organization. \nAccurate financial reporting is essential for maintaining trust with investors\, regulators\, lenders\, and other stakeholders. Errors\, omissions\, or misstatements in financial statements can have significant legal\, reputational\, and financial consequences. This makes continuous professional development in financial reporting critical\, particularly for practicing accountants who are required to uphold the highest standards of accuracy and accountability. The Financial Reporting Week offers a structured platform for participants to deepen their understanding of current standards\, explore practical application techniques\, and engage with real-life scenarios that challenge conventional approaches. \nModern financial reporting emphasizes the integration of analytical insights and strategic foresight. Professionals are expected to go beyond recording transactions\, to interpret financial data in ways that support operational and strategic decision-making. The program equips delegates with tools and methodologies that enhance analytical capabilities\, improve reporting accuracy\, and foster a culture of proactive problem-solving. By emphasizing both technical competence and strategic thinking\, participants will be better positioned to add tangible value to their organizations. \nTechnology is reshaping the way financial information is recorded\, processed\, and presented. Automation\, artificial intelligence\, cloud-based platforms\, and data analytics are increasingly integrated into financial reporting processes to enhance efficiency\, reduce errors\, and enable real-time reporting. The training introduces participants to these modern tools\, illustrating how technology can streamline reporting processes\, improve data quality\, and support timely decision-making. Delegates gain insights on adopting technology without compromising compliance or ethical standards\, preparing them for the evolving demands of the profession. \nFinally\, professional ethics\, governance\, and transparency remain at the core of effective financial reporting. Accountants are entrusted with safeguarding the integrity of financial information\, ensuring that reports reflect true and fair views of organizational performance. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Financial Reporting Week to equip participants with practical skills for preparing\, analyzing\, and presenting financial statements. The training provides a structured exploration of IFRS and IPSAS standards\, integrated and sustainability reporting\, emerging technology in reporting\, and governance and ethical considerations.

SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING) virtual option
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Enhancing Competence and Excellence in Financial Reporting\nDate: 20th -24th April 2026\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe landscape of financial reporting is evolving at an unprecedented pace\, driven by global regulatory reforms\, rapid technological advancements\, and the growing expectations of stakeholders for transparency\, accuracy\, and timely information. Organizations rely on financial reporting not only to meet compliance requirements but also as a strategic tool that informs decision-making\, resource allocation\, and performance evaluation. In this context\, accountants and finance professionals play a pivotal role in ensuring that financial statements are both reliable and relevant\, reflecting the true financial position and performance of the organization. \nAccurate financial reporting is essential for maintaining trust with investors\, regulators\, lenders\, and other stakeholders. Errors\, omissions\, or misstatements in financial statements can have significant legal\, reputational\, and financial consequences. This makes continuous professional development in financial reporting critical\, particularly for practicing accountants who are required to uphold the highest standards of accuracy and accountability. The Financial Reporting Week offers a structured platform for participants to deepen their understanding of current standards\, explore practical application techniques\, and engage with real-life scenarios that challenge conventional approaches. \nModern financial reporting emphasizes the integration of analytical insights and strategic foresight. Professionals are expected to go beyond recording transactions\, to interpret financial data in ways that support operational and strategic decision-making. The program equips delegates with tools and methodologies that enhance analytical capabilities\, improve reporting accuracy\, and foster a culture of proactive problem-solving. By emphasizing both technical competence and strategic thinking\, participants will be better positioned to add tangible value to their organizations. \nTechnology is reshaping the way financial information is recorded\, processed\, and presented. Automation\, artificial intelligence\, cloud-based platforms\, and data analytics are increasingly integrated into financial reporting processes to enhance efficiency\, reduce errors\, and enable real-time reporting. The training introduces participants to these modern tools\, illustrating how technology can streamline reporting processes\, improve data quality\, and support timely decision-making. Delegates gain insights on adopting technology without compromising compliance or ethical standards\, preparing them for the evolving demands of the profession. \nFinally\, professional ethics\, governance\, and transparency remain at the core of effective financial reporting. Accountants are entrusted with safeguarding the integrity of financial information\, ensuring that reports reflect true and fair views of organizational performance. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Financial Reporting Week to equip participants with practical skills for preparing\, analyzing\, and presenting financial statements. The training provides a structured exploration of IFRS and IPSAS standards\, integrated and sustainability reporting\, emerging technology in reporting\, and governance and ethical considerations.

SUMMARY:THE INTERNAL AUDIT MASTERCLASS-MANDATORY TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INTERNAL AUDIT MASTERCLASS (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Driving Organizational Resilience\, Governance Excellence\, and Sustainable Value Through Advanced Internal Audit Practice\nDate: 20th – 24th April 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Eka Hotel\, Eldoret\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nInternal audit is a fundamental pillar of corporate governance\, entrusted with safeguarding organizational assets\, strengthening internal control systems\, and supporting boards and management in fulfilling their mandates. In today’s volatile and competitive environment\, internal auditors must possess a deep understanding of the business—its mission\, strategic priorities\, risks\, and operating landscape. At the heart of the profession lies a guiding question: Are we governing\, managing\, and executing in ways that protect and create sustainable value? \nGlobal and regional dynamics are reshaping organizational realities. Technological disruption\, digital transformation\, cybersecurity threats\, heightened regulatory demands\, ESG reporting expectations\, shifting markets\, and economic uncertainties have intensified stakeholder calls for transparency\, accountability\, and timely insights into emerging risks. This evolution has elevated internal audit from a compliance-oriented function to a forward-looking\, strategic partner in organizational resilience and governance excellence. \nThe release of the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025) marks a milestone for the profession. These harmonized standards set enhanced expectations around ethical conduct\, independence\, objectivity\, competence\, and audit quality. They emphasize robust assurance methodologies\, data-driven audits\, agile practices\, and a sharpened focus on risk management and governance effectiveness. To remain relevant\, internal auditors must integrate advanced analytics\, digital auditing tools\, ESG considerations\, and strategic insight into their work. \nAcross Kenya and the wider region\, organizations face economic pressures\, governance reforms\, digital adoption\, climate-related risks\, and tightening regulatory oversight. This dynamic environment demands internal auditors who can provide credible assurance\, exercise sound judgment\, maintain professional skepticism\, and deliver evidence-based insights to executive leadership. Effectiveness is now measured not only by the quality of findings\, but by the ability to anticipate risks\, guide decision-making\, and enhance long-term organizational value. \nLeading an internal audit function requires a delicate balance of technical excellence\, diplomacy\, and leadership. With teams often comprising both seasoned auditors and newcomers\, leaders must manage expectations\, uphold audit quality\, nurture talent\, and safeguard independence. Navigating organizational politics\, communicating difficult messages\, and aligning with governance priorities call for maturity\, resilience\, and strategic acumen. \nInternal audit functions must also continually assess their readiness and relevance. This involves strengthening competencies\, adopting new technologies\, advancing methodologies\, and conducting periodic quality assessments. A progressive audit function embraces continuous improvement\, fosters ethical culture\, and reinforces accountability across the organization. \nAgainst this backdrop\, ICPAK has organized the Internal Audit Masterclass\, a five-day program bringing together internal auditors\, audit committee members\, governance practitioners\, and professionals from diverse sectors. The Masterclass will explore the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025)\, advanced risk-based auditing\, governance collaboration\, ESG assurance\, cybersecurity\, digital auditing\, and strategic advisory capabilities. Designed to be highly experiential\, the program combines expert-led presentations\, case studies\, scenario-based learning\, practical demonstrations\, and peer exchange. Participants will gain insights into what works\, what does not\, and what defines excellence in modern internal audit practice\, while networking widely with peers from both public and private sectors. \nBy the end of the program\, participants will be equipped to elevate internal audit quality\, reinforce governance frameworks\, deliver value-adding assurance\, and support decision-making processes that advance transparency\, accountability\, and sustainable performance. The Masterclass underscores ICPAK’s commitment to strengthening the internal audit profession and empowering practitioners to meet the demands of an increasingly complex risk environment. \nThe Masterclass is divided into the following five modules covering key fundamental learning areas: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\n1.

SUMMARY:IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations\nDate: 21st April 2026\nTime: 4:00- 6:00PM\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nToday’s business environment is increasingly dynamic\, characterized by frequent restructurings\, divestments\, mergers\, and strategic exits. These developments have significantly increased the occurrence of assets held for sale and discontinued operations\, making their correct accounting more critical than ever. Accurate classification\, measurement\, and presentation under IFRS 5 are essential to safeguarding the credibility of financial statements and ensuring transparent communication to investors and other key stakeholders. \nIFRS 5 provides the authoritative framework for the consistent and transparent accounting of such transactions. However\, its practical application often presents complex judgment areas\, particularly in fast-evolving business situations. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional accountants with a clear\, practical\, and compliance-focused understanding of IFRS 5. The emphasis is on real-world implementation challenges encountered during asset disposals\, business restructuring\, and strategic repositioning. \nThe session will focus on how to: \n\nDetermine when an asset or disposal group qualifies as “held for sale”\nApply the appropriate measurement requirements at fair value less costs to sell\nIdentify and present discontinued operations accurately\nAssess the impact on profit or loss\, cash flows\, and the statement of financial position\nNavigate complex judgment areas\, including abandoned sales\, reclassification\, and impairment interactions\n\nThe webinar will adopt a practical\, application-driven approach\, highlighting common misclassifications\, disclosure gaps\, and key audit and regulatory expectations. Participants will also gain insight into how IFRS 5 interfaces with other relevant standards\, including IFRS 3\, IAS 36\, IFRS 16\, and IFRS 10. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be better positioned to apply IFRS 5 with confidence and by so doing enhance the quality and transparency of financial reporting. This is envisaged to minimize compliance risk and communicate more effectively on discontinued operations and asset disposals. \nTarget Audience \nThis training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners 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.

SUMMARY:ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar\nDate: 28th April 2026\nTime: 4.00-6.00PM\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nIn today’s complex and fast-evolving business environment\, audit practitioners are increasingly challenged by sophisticated transactions\, digital records\, automation\, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. At the heart of audit quality lies one fundamental requirement—the ability to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support a well-founded audit opinion. ISA 500 provides the core framework that guides auditors on what constitutes reliable evidence and how it should be obtained\, evaluated\, and documented. \nISA 500 is the backbone of the entire audit process\, influencing every audit judgment and conclusion. Yet\, in practice\, auditors frequently face challenges relating to the reliability of management information\, the use of external confirmations\, the impact of technology on evidence\, and the risk of over-reliance on weak or insufficient audit documentation. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional audit practitioners with a clear\, practical\, and risk-focused understanding of ISA 500\, emphasizing its application in real-world audit engagements. \nThe session will focus on how to: \n\nDetermine what constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit evidence\nAssess the reliability of evidence from different sources\nApply professional judgment when using information produced by the entity\nEvaluate the consistency and relevance of audit evidence obtained\nAddress limitations in audit evidence and respond appropriately when evidence is contradictory or incomplete\n\nThe webinar will adopt a practical\, application-driven approach\, highlighting common pitfalls\, inspection findings\, and audit failure risks associated with weak evidence. Key areas such as the use of external confirmations\, management representations\, analytical procedures\, and technology-generated evidence will be explored in line with current audit practice expectations. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be better equipped to apply ISA 500 in their day-to-day professional practice. This will enable them to deliver effective and sound audit opinions that are adequately backed by credible\, defensible\, and high-quality audit evidence. \nTarget Audience \nThis training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners 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\nVirtual \n \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\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.

Non-finance professionals\, such as managers in marketing\, operations\, HR\, or IT\, increasingly need to understand financial principles to contribute effectively to organizational success. Finance training equips them with the tools to interpret financial data\, make informed decisions\, and align their departmental goals with the company’s overall financial health. \nThere is a growing need for professionals in all fields to have a basic understanding of financial concepts that would enable them to contribute to organizational decision-making. Interpreting financial information and appreciating the consequences of budgetary decisions\, or understanding the financial health of an entity\, are no longer the exclusive domain of a finance department. As organizations increasingly adopt more integrated approaches to operations\, finance continues to play a central role in ensuring transparency\, sustainability\, and responsible resource allocation. Enhancing financial competencies among staff outside the finance function supports better governance structures\, reduces risk\, and enhances the effective monitoring of performance \nOne of the primary benefits of finance training for non-finance professionals is enhanced decision-making. By understanding key concepts like budgeting and cost control\, non finance professionals will be able evaluate the financial implications of their choices\, leading to more strategic and profitable outcomes. This empowers them to identify opportunities for cost savings and revenue growth within their roles. \nThis finance training will also bridge communication gaps between departments. Non-finance staff often collaborate with finance teams on projects or reports. With basic financial knowledge\, they can speak the “language of finance\,” ask relevant questions\, and provide meaningful input\, fostering better teamwork and reducing misunderstandings. The conference will delve into reading and interpreting financial statements—the balance sheet\, income statement\, and cash flow statement. These documents provide a snapshot of a company’s financial position\, performance\, and liquidity\, allowing professionals to assess health and spot potential issues early. The discussions will bridge the gap in knowledge by equipping the non-finance professional with fundamental financial concepts supportive of informed decision-making\, accountability\, and performance improvement across roles and sectors. \nThe ABCs of Finance for Non-Finance Professionals Conference aims to demystify core areas of finance perceived to be complex. The approach is designed to give participants insights\, in a practical way\, into how financial systems work\, what the financial statements really say\, and how financial plans drive strategy and operational priorities. This conference offers an enabling\, yet simplified\, approach toward financial literacy\, empowering professionals to engage confidently with financial conversations and meaningfully contribute to organizational planning and control processes. \nAt the end of the conference\, participants should be able to appreciate how to interpret financial information; understand how budgets are prepared; analyze the performance of an organization; and assist executives in strategic resource allocation decisions. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the conference: \n\nIntroduction to Financial Management – Understanding the role of finance in organizational operations and decision-making.\nUnderstanding Key Financial Statements – A practical guide to interpreting the statement of financial position\, income statement\, and cash flow statement.\nBudgeting and Budgetary Controls – How budgets are prepared\, monitored\, and applied to manage resources effectively.\nCost Management and Cost Behaviour – Key concepts in identifying\, classifying\, and managing costs within different operational settings.\nWorking Capital and Cash Flow Essentials – Appreciating the importance of liquidity\, short-term financing\, and operational cash flow.\nFinancial Ratios and Performance Analysis – How to evaluate financial performance and organizational health using simple analytical tools.\nInternal Controls and Risk Awareness for Non-Finance Staff – Strengthening accountability and safeguarding organizational resources.\nLinking Finance to Strategy and Decision-Making – Understanding how financial insights support long-term planning and strategic initiatives.\nEthics\, Compliance\, and Governance Considerations – Building awareness of ethical responsibilities and compliance requirements influencing financial operations.\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course targets professionals from various fields who need to use financial information regularly in their interactions or organizational planning and decision-making. It will also be of relevance and great value to managers and supervisors in operations\, human resources\, procurement\, administration\, project management\, and corporate services who seek a stronger foundation in the concepts of finance for improving their effectiveness.

SUMMARY:International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop -Mandatory Training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Taxes & Transfer Pricing Workshop\nDate: 6th – 7th May 2025\nTime: 9.00-4.00PM\nMode Of Delivery: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe world business environment has continued to change in ways that blur borders and extend the reach of enterprises beyond domestic jurisdictions. As cross-border transactions have become more routine\, the tax complexities associated with such activities have mounted and the level of scrutiny applied to them has intensified. Compliance regimes are being clamped down globally\, multinational groups rethink operating models\, and professional accountants are expected to show deeper competence in international taxation regimes and transfer pricing principles. In this setting\, practitioners serving clients with either regional or global footprints must therefore balance strategic tax planning with strict adherence to the law. \nThis workshop aims to provide a reflective yet practical look into international taxation and transfer pricing\, focusing on the realities faced by Kenyan entities involved in cross-border arrangements. It combines issues of current concern\, regulator expectations\, and technical guidance that practitioners need to internalize in meeting their competency obligations. Participants will have a greater insight into how the multinational groups structure their operations\, how the tax authorities construe such arrangements\, and how accountants can assist in complying without unduly compromising sound commercial decisions. \nWith the increased attention that the OECD\, the African Tax Administration Forum\, and KRA are giving to the fair taxation of multinational operations\, this workshop will demystify selected technical concepts using case studies and regulatory updates. This is also an avenue through which practitioners can reflect on how domestic tax rules interact with evolving international standards\, particularly with respect to transfer pricing documentation\, resolution of disputes\, and management of tax risks. Each session is structured in a way that enhances both theoretical and practical insights to ensure that participants leave the sessions with information they can apply directly in client advisory\, audits\, and organization tax planning. \nIn the end\, the program reinforces ICPAK’s commitment to enhancing the professional competence of its members\, especially those studying for or maintaining a Practicing Certificate. The workshop deepens appreciation of various international tax dynamics and transfer pricing obligations\, thus enabling practitioners to contribute towards ensuring that the profession upholds integrity and\, by extension\, supports transparent\, equitable tax practices in an increasingly interdependent economy. \nAreas to be covered: – \n\nOverview of International Taxation Frameworks and transfer pricing and Recent global developments\nRegulatory Frameworks\n\n\nOECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines\nArm’s Length Principle\nLocal country TP regulations (overview)\nDocumentation requirements: Master File\, Local File\, Country-by-Country Reporting\n\n\nUnderstanding Inter-company Transactions\nFunctional Analysis (FAR Analysis)\nTransfer Pricing Methods\n\n\nTraditional transaction methods:\nComparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP)\nResale Price Method (RPM)\nCost Plus Method\nTransactional profit methods:\nTNMM\nProfit Split Method\nMethod selection and hierarchy and Strengths and weaknesses of each method\n\n\nTransfer Pricing for Specific Transactions-Intercompany services and management fees\, IP licensing and royalties\, Cost contribution arrangements (CCAs)\, Financial transactions.\nTransfer Pricing Documentation\nTransfer Pricing Risk Management\nPractical Case Studies & Workshops- Industry-specific TP issues (manufacturing\, technology\, financial services etc)\nDigital economy and TP challenges\n\nTarget Audience \nThe workshop is suitable for tax practitioners\, audit professionals\, finance managers\, consultants\, accountants working in multinational organizations\, regulatory officers\, and members pursuing the Practicing Certificate. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs.10\,000.

SUMMARY:THE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS AND LEADERS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS & LEADERS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Men for Transformative Leadership in Different Spheres\nDate: 11th – 15th May 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nThe Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference is designed as a premium platform for bringing together male professionals in the accounting\, finance\, and leadership spheres to reflect upon the evolving role they play in today’s corporate and socio-economic environment. With the relentless evolution of the workplaces supported by technological innovation\, regulatory changes\, and a call for a new orientation of leadership\, men in the profession will need to continuously reboot their skills\, mindset\, and approaches to leadership. \nJob skills training forms the technical foundation for success in professional men’s lives across all professions. Little emphasis is given to life skills such as personal finance management\, communication\, emotional intelligence\, leadership\, and resilience to ensure professional men are equipped with a well-rounded skill set for success in the workplace and home. The modern workplace is also experiencing continuous disruption from technology calling for upskilling and continuous learning. Increasingly\, the key to thriving in the future workplace will be the ability to harness the power of technology while addressing the ethical and social issues that come with a digitally transformed workplace. \nOne crucial topic for men in leadership is emotional intelligence. Traditional expectations often discourage men from expressing vulnerability or empathy\, yet modern leadership demands self-awareness and the ability to read and manage emotions in oneself and others. Developing emotional intelligence allows male leaders to build stronger relationships\, resolve conflicts effectively\, and foster trust within teams. By embracing empathy alongside assertiveness\, men can move beyond outdated stereotypes of stoicism and lead with greater authenticity and impact in diverse workplaces. \nAnother important area is inclusive leadership and allyship. As workplaces evolve toward greater gender equity\, men in leadership positions must actively support diversity by challenging biases\, promoting inclusive decision-making\, and serving as allies to underrepresented groups. This involves recognizing privileges associated with traditional male traits in leadership and using influence to create environments where all voices are valued. Male leaders who prioritize inclusion not only enhance team performance but also contribute to broader organizational and societal progress. \nMental health and personal well-being represent a vital topic\, particularly amid rising reports of isolation and stress among men. Leaders face immense pressure to provide and perform\, often leading to burnout or suppressed emotions. Prioritizing resilience\, seeking mentorship\, and modeling healthy habits—such as work-life balance and emotional literacy—enable men to sustain long-term effectiveness. Addressing personal health head-on prevents crises and sets a positive example for teams. \nAdapting to modern challenges\, including economic insecurity and rapid change\, is essential for male leaders. Many men grapple with shifting roles in a world of automation\, remote work\, and evolving expectations of masculinity. Cultivating adaptability\, continuous learning\, and strategic thinking helps navigate these uncertainties while maintaining purpose and connection. \nFinally\, balancing strength with vulnerability defines contemporary male leadership. Integrating traditional qualities like decisiveness and vision with openness\, humility\, and relational skills creates a more holistic approach. Men who seek role models\, process past experiences\, and build supportive networks lead not through dominance alone but through empowered\, collaborative influence that inspires lasting loyalty and results. \nThe entry of younger generations in the workforce has also become a major disruptor of the rule based traditional workplace. However\, future ready companies see the existence of a multigenerational diversity as a great advantage and work tirelessly to unlock the benefits of a multigenerational workplace by leveraging the strengths of each generation. \nComplementing the technical and leadership-focused discussions\, the conference will cover holistic wellbeing\, work-life balance\, and personal development\, recognizing that effective leadership is developed not only through professional competencies but also in emotionally resilient and purposeful living. The Inaugural Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference aims to create a reflective space\, networking opportunities\, and mentorship for the nurturing of all-round leaders who have the potential to make positive changes within organizations and greater society. The conference will seek to inspire its participants to achieve excellence\, integrity\, and adaptability as fundamental attributes through keynote sessions\, panel conversations\, and practical insights from distinguished leaders. \nThe following are topics to be discussed during the conference: \n\nModern Leadership for the Male Professional\nInclusive Leadership & Allyship – the Pinnacle of Survival\nEmotional Intelligence & Vulnerable Leadership for Men \nRecognizing and Countering Toxic Masculinity Patterns in Leadership\nPower Dynamics and How Male Leaders Can Redistribute Influence \nMen’s Role in Fostering Inclusive and High-Performing Teams\nMentoring vs. Sponsoring: Why Male Leaders Need to Do More of the Latter\nFinancial Stewardship in the Family\nWork–Life Balance and Personal Well-Being for Professional Men\nMental health\, stress management and resilience\nMan Talk- Panel Discussion on the leadership journey of renowned leaders\nEstate Planning for Male Leaders \nDealing with and Overcoming Divorce \nFuture-of-Work Leadership: AI\, Gen Z expectations\, and the end of traditional “alpha” styles\nBook Review: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl- In depth insights into finding purpose\, even in extreme adversity- a core component of resilient leadership\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe conference targets male professionals from all professional backgrounds doubling up as a mentorship and empowerment forum.  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the conference. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n1.

DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nOverview of IFRS S1 & S2 Webinar\n12th May 2026\nTime: 4.00- 6.00PM\nVenue – Virtual \nOverview \nThe release of IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures represents a transformative shift in corporate reporting and a cornerstone for organizations seeking to integrate sustainability into mainstream financial reporting. Developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, these standards provide a systematic and comprehensive framework for identifying\, assessing\, and disclosing sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could affect an entity’s cash flow\, access to finance\, or cost of capital. Well-prepared disclosures enhance transparency\, facilitate accountability\, and provide stakeholders with relevant\, faithful\, comparable\, and verifiable information\, thereby supporting informed decision-making and strengthening investor confidence. \nIFRS S1 establishes overarching principles for sustainability disclosures\, emphasizing four key pillars: governance\, strategy\, risk management\, and metrics & targets. By requiring entities to consider material sustainability matters\, assess reporting boundaries\, and ensure consistency with financial statements\, IFRS S1 enables organizations to present a clear and holistic picture of how sustainability issues influence their performance and long-term value creation. IFRS S2 builds on this foundation by focusing specifically on climate-related risks and opportunities\, including physical and transition risks\, scenario analysis\, climate resilience strategies\, and greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1\, 2\, and 3. Together\, these standards promote integrated thinking\, encouraging organizations to move beyond isolated reporting of ESG issues toward a comprehensive approach that aligns sustainability disclosures with strategic objectives and financial performance. \nCreating and implementing disclosures under IFRS S1 and S2 is central to proactive sustainability reporting. It provides a practical tool for identifying and monitoring emerging risks\, evaluating the organization’s climate exposure\, and aligning mitigation strategies with operational and strategic priorities. By systematically documenting and disclosing material sustainability matters\, organizations are better prepared to anticipate disruptions\, respond to stakeholder expectations\, and allocate resources efficiently. This contributes to enhanced governance\, reduced uncertainty\, and improved resilience\, ultimately increasing the organization’s ability to achieve long-term objectives. \nIt is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to equip participants with skills for understanding\, interpreting\, and applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. The session is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to IFRS Sustainability standards\nIFRS S1 general requirements for sustainability-related financial information\nIFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures – Risk Management\, Metrics and Targets\, Core Disclosure Requirements\nIFRS S2: GHG Emissions – Introduction to GHG Emissions under IFRS S2\, GHG Emission Key Concepts and Terminology\nImplementation Considerations\, Readiness Assessment\, and Assurance Requirements\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Sustainability Practitioners\, Consultants\, Auditors\, Advisors \, Investors and Financial Analysts \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS):\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.
