IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations webinar
2026-04-21 16:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Moscow) | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Date: 21st April 2026
Time: 4:00- 6:00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
Today’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.
IFRS 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.
The session will focus on how to:

Determine when an asset or disposal group qualifies as “held for sale”
Apply the appropriate measurement requirements at fair value less costs to sell
Identify and present discontinued operations accurately
Assess the impact on profit or loss, cash flows, and the statement of financial position
Navigate complex judgment areas, including abandoned sales, reclassification, and impairment interactions

The 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.
By 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.
Target Audience
This 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.
Continuous Professional Development Units
Members of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions.

ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
2026-04-28 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
Date: 28th April 2026
Time: 4.00-6.00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
In 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.
ISA 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.
The session will focus on how to:

Determine what constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit evidence
Assess the reliability of evidence from different sources
Apply professional judgment when using information produced by the entity
Evaluate the consistency and relevance of audit evidence obtained
Address limitations in audit evidence and respond appropriately when evidence is contradictory or incomplete

The 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.
By 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.
Target Audience
This 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.

THE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE
2026-05-04 09:00 - 2026-05-08 15:30 | Sawela Lodge, Naivasha, 00100, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE
Theme: Empowering Non-Finance Professionals with Practical Financial Insights for Informed Decision-Making
Date: 4th-8th May 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Sawela Lodge, Naivasha.
OVERVIEW
In today’s interconnected business environment, financial literacy is no longer confined to accountants and finance specialists. 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.
There 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
One 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.
This 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.
The 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.
At 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.
The following topics will be discussed during the conference:

Introduction to Financial Management – Understanding the role of finance in organizational operations and decision-making.
Understanding Key Financial Statements – A practical guide to interpreting the statement of financial position, income statement, and cash flow statement.
Budgeting and Budgetary Controls – How budgets are prepared, monitored, and applied to manage resources effectively.
Cost Management and Cost Behaviour – Key concepts in identifying, classifying, and managing costs within different operational settings.
Working Capital and Cash Flow Essentials – Appreciating the importance of liquidity, short-term financing, and operational cash flow.
Financial Ratios and Performance Analysis – How to evaluate financial performance and organizational health using simple analytical tools.
Internal Controls and Risk Awareness for Non-Finance Staff – Strengthening accountability and safeguarding organizational resources.
Linking Finance to Strategy and Decision-Making – Understanding how financial insights support long-term planning and strategic initiatives.
Ethics, Compliance, and Governance Considerations – Building awareness of ethical responsibilities and compliance requirements influencing financial operations.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This 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. The program will also be of value to entrepreneurs, SMEs, heads of departments, technical staff seeking an improvement in financial literacy, and an understanding of budgets, reports, and financial performance indicators of organizations. Also targeted are public sector officers, NGO personnel, and people moving into positions that have financial responsibilities, for whom discussions will not only enhance their capacity but also provide them with the ability to support good governance, accountability, and proper resource management within their institutions.

International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop -Mandatory Training
2026-05-06 09:00 - 2026-05-07 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
International Taxes & Transfer Pricing Workshop
Date: 6th – 7th May 2025
Time: 9.00-4.00PM
Mode Of Delivery: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration)
Overview
The 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.
This 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.
With 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.
In 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.

THE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS AND LEADERS CONFERENCE
2026-05-11 09:00 - 2026-05-15 15:30 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Hotel and Spa, Mombasa, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS & LEADERS CONFERENCE
Theme: Empowering Men for Transformative Leadership in Different Spheres
Date: 11th – 15th May 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa
OVERVIEW
The 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.
Job 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.
One 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.
Another 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.
Mental 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.
Adapting 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.
Finally, 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.
The 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.
Complementing 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.
The following are topics to be discussed during the conference:

Modern Leadership for the Male Professional
Inclusive Leadership & Allyship – the Pinnacle of Survival
Emotional Intelligence & Vulnerable Leadership for Men
Recognizing and Countering Toxic Masculinity Patterns in Leadership
Power Dynamics and How Male Leaders Can Redistribute Influence

Overview of IFRS S1 and S2 webinar
2026-05-12 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Overview of IFRS S1 & S2 Webinar
12th May 2026
Time: 4.00- 6.00PM
Venue – Virtual
Overview
The 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.
IFRS 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.
Creating 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.
It 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:

Introduction to IFRS Sustainability standards
IFRS S1 general requirements for sustainability-related financial information
IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures – Risk Management, Metrics and Targets, Core Disclosure Requirements
IFRS S2: GHG Emissions – Introduction to GHG Emissions under IFRS S2, GHG Emission Key Concepts and Terminology

RISK CHAMPIONS WORKSHOP 2026

INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
RISK CHAMPIONS WORKSHOP
Theme: Empowering Risk Champions to strengthen organization resilience and governance
27th – 29th May 2026
Eka Hotel, Eldoret
Overview
In today’s dynamic and uncertain business environment, organizations are exposed to a wide range of risks that can affect strategy execution, operational performance, and long-term sustainability. Effective risk management is therefore essential, and Risk Champions play a vital role in embedding a proactive risk culture across the organization. By linking day-to-day operational realities with strategic oversight, Risk Champions strengthen governance, promote accountability, and enhance organizational resilience.
Developing Risk Champions goes beyond basic awareness of risk concepts. It involves equipping individuals with practical skills to identify emerging risks, assess their potential impact, prioritize responses, and implement appropriate mitigation measures. Acting as the first line of defense, Risk Champions monitor risk exposures, coordinate risk information across departments, and ensure alignment with organizational objectives and regulatory requirements. This proactive approach supports informed decision-making, improves transparency, and reinforces stakeholder confidence.
Modern risk environments are increasingly complex and interconnected, organizations must therefore adopt integrated frameworks and technology-enabled solutions, including Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platforms, to enhance real-time risk tracking, scenario analysis, and enterprise-wide visibility, thereby positioning risk management as a strategic decision-support function.
The Risk Champions Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the ERM process and its key components, including risk appetite, governance structures, and roles and responsibilities. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this workshop to equip participants with practical skills, insights, and tools to function as proactive Risk Champions who can influence governance, decision-making, and enterprise risk management at all levels.
The workshop is designed to cover the following topics:

Risk registers development Practical course
2026-06-09 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Risk registers development practical course Webinar
Theme- Strengthening Governance Through Effective Risk Registers
Date: 9th June 2026
Time: 04.pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
Risk registers are a critical component of effective risk management and organizational governance. They provide a structured and proactive method for identifying, analyzing, prioritizing, and monitoring risks that may impede the achievement of strategic and operational objectives. A well-prepared risk register enhances transparency, facilitates accountability by assigning risk ownership, and supports the tracking of mitigation actions. This process strengthens decision-making, promotes robust governance practices, and fosters a culture of preparedness and resilience.
An effective risk register goes beyond recording risks. It should be constructed on a framework that classifies risks into categories, applies clear assessment criteria such as likelihood and impact, and links each risk to appropriate mitigation measures and controls. To remain relevant, the risk register must be dynamic, evolving with changes in both internal processes and the external environment. Integrating the risk register within an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework ensures alignment with strategic goals, regulatory compliance, and institutional accountability.
In today’s complex operating environment, risks are interconnected, including cybersecurity, regulatory changes, ESG requirements, and reputational factors. Treating risks in isolation can leave organizations exposed to cascading effects. Modern approaches encourage the use of technology-enabled solutions, such as Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platforms, which support real-time monitoring, scenario analysis, and informed decision-making.
The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) finds it necessary to conduct this webinar to equip members with practical insights and skills to utilize risk registers effectively in governance, oversight, and decision-making processes.
The webinar will cover the following areas;

Introduction to Risk Registers

Purpose, governance role, and relevance for boards and management

Core Components of a Risk Register

Risk description, categories, ownership, controls, and mitigation strategies

Risk Identification Techniques and Stakeholder Engagement
Risk Classification and Significance

Strategic, operational, financial, compliance, reputational, and emerging risks

Effective Risk Assessment and Prioritization

Likelihood, impact, velocity, and interdependencies

Practical Walkthrough of a Risk Register from end to end

Target Audience:
This webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession.

Overview
In an increasingly complex business environment, high quality financial reporting is essential for transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making. Organizations are expected to demonstrate not only financial sustainability but also compliance with evolving accounting standards, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations. However, many finance and accounting professionals face challenges in interpreting new standards, applying best practices, and preparing reports that meet both local and international expectations. IFRS is crucial for ensuring transparency and consistency in financial reporting, making this course essential for professionals seeking to enhance their financial reporting skills. IFRS’s application can become ever more complex and challenging if not kept up with.
Further, the IFRS landscape is constantly changing and professionals are required to keep up to date. This arises from their continuously evolving where new accounting standards are released, existing ones are replaced or amended and new interpretations are made. Keeping up to date with these can be cumbersome and become a burden for an organization.

THE ANNUAL NPO CONFERENCE (with PBORA)
2026-06-15 09:00 - 2026-06-19 15:30 | Pride Inn Paradise Hotel, Mombasa
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE ANNUAL NPO CONFERENCE (with PBORA)
Theme: Strengthening Accountability, Transparency and Sustainability in the Non-Profit Sector
Date: 15th – 19th June 2026
Venue: Pride Inn Paradise Beach Hotel, Mombasa
Time: 09.30am-03.30pm
OVERVIEW:
The non-profit sector in Kenya remains central to social delivery and development finance, but it is operating in a period of rapidly rising stakeholder expectations and regulatory tightening. Regulators and donors now demand stronger evidence of stewardship, clearer links between funding and outcomes, and financial reports that are comparable, decision-useful and auditable. At the same time, many NPOs face persistent operational weaknesses: fragmented accounting practices, weak internal controls, inconsistent recognition of grants and restricted funds, poor donor reporting harmonization, and low readiness for external assurance. These gaps undermine donor confidence, hamper interoperability with government financing and create reputational risk for the sector.
The introduction of the International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) marks a pivotal moment for NPO financial reporting. INPAS is designed specifically to address NPO reporting needs including improving transparency, comparability and credibility of NPO financial statements, and providing sector-tailored guidance where existing for-profit standards are inadequate. INPAS is a standalone, topic-based standard that builds on the IFRS for SMEs, full IFRS and IPSAS where appropriate, while adding NPO-specific solutions (for example on fund accounting, revenue from grants/donations, narrative reporting and transition requirements). Its objectives include improving decision-usefulness and accountability of NPO reports.
Practical implementation of INPAS raises immediate technical and governance issues that must be handled at institutional and sectoral levels. Transition disclosures, reconciliations to prior frameworks and narrative reporting are required by INPAS and will impose new preparation, control and disclosure workstreams for many NPOs. INPAS also recognizes cost/benefit trade-offs and permits limited undue-cost exemptions where justified, but any adoption still requires robust planning, updated accounting policies, staff retraining and stronger audit readiness.
For these reasons the Annual NPO Conference (with PBORA) will position INPAS not as a remote technical standard but as a practical, implementable roadmap for accountability: one that requires coordinated action from boards, finance teams, auditors, regulators and donors. The conference will therefore combine high-level policy dialogue with hands-on technical clinics, worked examples and implementation toolkits so participants leave with clear next steps from revising accounting policies and preparing transition reconciliations to strengthening internal controls and improving donor reporting harmonization. This integrated approach will accelerate adoption, reduce dual-reporting burdens and strengthen public confidence in the sector.

Anti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar

INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Anti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar
DATE: 16th June 2026
TIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Mode: Virtual
Overview
Anti-money laundering (AML) requirements for accounting professionals stem from global efforts to prevent the integration of illicit funds into the legitimate economy. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body, sets standards through its 40 Recommendations, designating accountants as “gatekeepers” vulnerable to exploitation when providing services such as managing client funds, forming companies, handling real estate transactions, or advising on tax matters. These recommendations emphasize a risk-based approach, requiring professionals to assess and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks effectively.
Under FATF guidelines, accounting firms must implement customer due diligence (CDD) measures when engaging in specified activities on behalf of clients. This includes verifying client identity, understanding the nature of the business relationship, and identifying beneficial owners of legal entities. Enhanced due diligence is required for high-risk clients, such as politically exposed persons (PEPs) or those from jurisdictions with weak AML controls, while simplified measures may apply in low-risk scenarios.
Accounting professionals are obligated to conduct firm-wide risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities based on client types, services offered, and geographic factors. Policies, controls, and procedures must be documented and regularly updated, proportionate to the firm’s size and complexity. This includes appointing a compliance officer (often called a Money Laundering Reporting Officer in some jurisdictions) responsible for oversight and ensuring staff receive ongoing training to recognize suspicious activities.
A core requirement is the monitoring of client transactions and relationships for red flags, such as unusually large cash movements, complex structures without economic purpose, or links to high-risk countries. If suspicion arises, professionals must file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the relevant financial intelligence unit without tipping off the client, balancing this with professional ethics and confidentiality obligations.
Record-keeping is mandatory, with firms required to retain identification documents, transaction records, and risk assessment evidence for at least five years (or longer in some jurisdictions). This supports audits by supervisory bodies and enables traceability in investigations. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, including fines, license revocation, or criminal prosecution.
Ultimately, AML compliance protects the integrity of the accounting profession, mitigates reputational and legal risks, and contributes to global financial security. Firms are encouraged to use technology for efficient screening and monitoring while staying abreast of regulatory updates through guidance from bodies like FATF, CCAB, or national supervisors.

Illustrative Financial Statements-Practical Course
2026-06-23 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Illustrative Financial Statements-Practical Course
Date: 23rd June 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
High-quality financial statements remain the cornerstone of transparent and reliable financial reporting. The ability of organizations to undertake ever-more complex transactions, combined with ongoing regulatory change, means finance and audit professionals need to possess technical knowledge of IFRS standards, coupled with the competence to translate such requirements into transparent, accurate and compliant financial statements. The illustrative financial statements are an essential reference point, assisting in understanding how IFRS principles are applied in practice and how disclosure presentation can be prepared to enhance clarity, comparability and decision-usefulness.
This hands-on course will take participants through an illustrative set of financial statements, step by step, while highlighting practical considerations during financial reporting cycles. The session will illustrate how key IFRS standards are interpreted and applied in the context of preparing a complete set of financial statements.

Theme: Effective Modern-Day Governance for Solid Foundations
DATE: 6TH JULY– 10TH JULY 2026
TIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM
ENASHIPAI RESORT, NAIVASHA
OVERVIEW
Boards are the central force behind organizational stability and strategic success, charged with guiding vision, safeguarding integrity and ensuring long-term growth. In today’s rapidly changing environment, where technology, regulation, and stakeholder expectations converge, boards must operate with insight, resilience, and foresight. Their ability to anticipate challenges, make informed decisions and cultivate trust directly influences organizational performance and credibility, positioning the board as a decisive force for enduring excellence.
Effectiveness in modern governance requires boards to balance strategic thinking with operational intelligence. Understanding the financial and operational health of an organization, integrating long-term risk considerations and ensuring accountability allows boards to navigate complexity with clarity. Inclusive dialogue, ethical leadership and constructive debate strengthen cohesion, enabling boards to make decisions that reflect both organizational priorities and stakeholder expectations while fostering a culture of integrity and transparency.
Boards are also architects of future resilience. By embracing diversity of thought, preparing for leadership continuity, and adopting emerging technologies responsibly, boards can guide organizations through uncertainty while maintaining adaptability and innovation. Their oversight ensures that strategic objectives, sustainability considerations, and societal responsibilities are integrated into the organization’s operations, fostering an environment where growth, accountability, and long-term value coexist.
High-performing boards understand that governance extends beyond oversight; it is a catalyst for shaping organizational trajectory. By combining foresight, risk intelligence, ethical stewardship, and adaptive leadership, boards provide stability and vision in times of disruption. In an era defined by digital transformation, evolving regulations, and heightened expectations, boards that embrace these principles position their organizations to thrive, remain resilient, and achieve sustainable success. It is in this consideration that ICPAK has planned a 5-day board training with specific emphasis on the following areas:

Board Roles and Fiduciary Duties in a Digital World – Modern responsibilities and legal obligations of directors.
Emerging Legal and Regulatory Trends for Boards – Staying ahead of compliance, liability, and sector-specific updates.
Ethical Leadership and Accountability at the Board Level – Strengthening transparency and integrity in decision-making.
Board Dynamics and Collaborative Decision-Making – Enhancing teamwork, conflict resolution, and effective meetings.
Advanced Financial Literacy for Strategic Oversight – Understanding statements, ratios, and budgeting for informed governance.
Strategic Planning and Organizational Guidance – Shaping, monitoring, and evaluating long-term organizational strategies.
Building a Risk-Intelligent Board – Identifying, assessing, and mitigating financial, operational, and cyber risks.
Performance Monitoring and Accountability Metrics – Tools to measure board and management effectiveness.
Embedding ESG into Board Oversight – Integrating sustainability and social responsibility into strategy and operations.
AI, Technology, and Digital Governance – Leveraging tech responsibly while managing emerging risks.
Succession Planning and Leadership Continuity – Preparing for seamless transitions at board and executive levels.
Diversity, Inclusion, and High-Impact Boards – Strengthening decision-making through varied perspectives and skills.

IFRS 18-Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements webinar
2026-07-07 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS 18- Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
Date: 7th July 2025
Time: 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Mode of Delivery: Virtual
Overview
As the IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements marks one of the most significant structural shifts in global financial reporting since the inception of IFRS. The Standard introduces a more consistent and decision-useful approach to how financial performance is presented, classified and communicated. By redefining subtotals, standardizing the classification of operating, investing and financing activities, and elevating the role of management-defined performance measures, IFRS 18 is expected to significantly enhance comparability across entities, industries and jurisdictions. This reform responds directly to long-standing user concerns regarding the lack of consistency in performance presentation under IAS 1, and the excessive use of non-GAAP metrics that previously contributed to opacity and inconsistency across reporting landscapes.
Beyond structural realignment, IFRS 18 emphasizes clearer disaggregation, improved linkage between notes and primary statements, enhanced transparency of performance metrics, and stronger alignment between management commentary and actual business performance portrayal. The new approach shifts reporting away from broad discretionary presentation towards more standardized, principle-aligned categorization that reflects how entities generate returns and deploy economic resources. As a result, subtotals such as operating profit are expected to become more reliable, analytical comparability will be reinforced, and perception gaps for investors, analysts, regulators and rating agencies will be narrowed.
The shift introduced by IFRS 18 is not just technical, it is strategic. Entities will need to reassess their reporting models, mapping of income and expenses, definitions of performance, investor communication frameworks and disclosure architecture. Internal reporting structures may require alignment with external presentation to ensure credibility and cross‑validation. System updates, chart‑of‑accounts restructuring, data model reviews and presentation consistency will be central implementation matters. Preparers, reviewers, auditors and governance boards will therefore require a transition mindset that goes beyond compliance interpretation and focuses on impact understanding, internal readiness and organizational adaptation.
With global adoption timelines accelerating and the first effective year commencing 2027, jurisdictions and reporting entities are encouraged to prepare early to minimize transition friction. Capacity building, awareness and forward alignment will be critical, particularly for practitioners who will be expected to interpret, evaluate, audit and advise on the new presentation model. It is in response to this transition landscape and in readiness for implementation clarity, ICPAK is convening this training to equip the profession with forward-looking insights, technical understanding and preparatory orientation to enable timely, confident and informed transition into IFRS 18 application.
Topics to be covered will include:

Understanding the IFRS 18 framework and replacement of IAS 1
Standardized operating, investing and financing categories
New subtotals, performance metrics and disaggregation expectations
Linking management performance measures and entity performance narratives
Transition planning, disclosure redesign and internal alignment considerations
Practical implications for preparers, reviewers, auditors and governance roles

IAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period webinar
2026-07-14 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period
Date: 14th July 2026
Time: 4.00-6.00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
In today’s volatile business environment, events occurring after the reporting period can have a significant impact on financial reporting. This volatility is driven by economic shocks, regulatory changes, shifting tax regimes, climate-related risks and unexpected operational disruptions. IAS 10 provides the essential framework for identifying, assessing, adjusting for and disclosing such events to ensure quality financial reporting.
IAS 10 safeguards the integrity of financial reporting between the reporting date and the date of authorization for issue. However, many entities struggle to correctly distinguish between adjusting and non-adjusting events. This often leads to misstatements, delayed disclosures and ultimately qualified audit opinion. Common challenges arise in areas such as post-year-end litigation, tax assessments, restructurings, going concern uncertainties and major economic developments. This webinar is therefore designed to provide clear, practical and compliance-focused guidance on the application of IAS 10.
The session will focus on how to:

Distinguish between adjusting and non-adjusting events
Determine when post-reporting period information requires adjustment
Apply appropriate disclosure requirements for material non-adjusting events
Assess the impact on the going concern assumption
Navigate key judgment areas, including estimates, litigation and post-year-end transactions

The webinar will take a practical, implementation-driven approach. It will address common misclassifications, disclosure gaps, regulatory expectations and audit inspection findings. Participants will also briefly examine how IAS 10 interacts with IFRS 18, IAS 37, IAS 12, and IFRS 5.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to apply IAS 10 with confidence and sound professional judgment. This will strengthen the credibility of financial reporting, reduce post-reporting compliance risk, ensure users receive transparent, timely and decision-useful information.
Target Audience
This webinar is designed for professional accountants involved in financial reporting, audit, and assurance functions.
Continuous Professional Development Units
Members of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions.
