SUMMARY:Budget Review and Analysis Seminar (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nBudget Review & Analysis Seminar (physical option)\nDate: 12th June 2026\nTime: 09.00-11.30am\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium\, CPA Centre \nOverview \nThe national budget serves as a strategic blueprint outlining the Government’s revenue projections and expenditure plans for the fiscal year\, and remains a critical instrument for economic management\, resource allocation\, and policy prioritization. The FY2025/26 Budget has been formulated against a backdrop of persistent domestic and global economic challenges\, including inflationary pressures\, elevated debt-servicing costs\, and constrained fiscal space\, alongside emerging macroeconomic opportunities. \nThe 2026/27 budget is structured around key economic and social sectors that drive national development\, with allocations reflecting government priorities under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).\nThe National Treasury has proposed Kshs 4.78 trillion budget for FY 2026/27\, equivalent to 23% of GDP. This comprises recurrent expenditure of Kshs. 3\,538.7 billion\, development expenditure of Kshs. 749.0 billion and transfers to county governments of 495.7 Billion. \nAccording to the Budget Policy Statement 2026\, the fiscal deficit including grants is expected to reach Kshs 1\,115.8 billion (5.3% of GDP) in FY 2026/27\, from the projected deficit of KSh 1\,140.7 billion (6.0% of GDP) in FY 2025/26. This will be financed through net external borrowing amounting to KSh 225.5 billion (1.1% of GDP) and net domestic financing of KSh 890.4 billion (4.2% of GDP). \nThe proposed expenditure is distributed across three broad segments of government spending\, with the national government sector (Executive\, Parliament and Judiciary) receiving Kshs 2.817 trillion. Education remains the largest sectoral allocation\, increasing from Kshs. 754.9 billion in 2025/26 to Kshs. 780 billion in 2026/27\, representing a moderate 4%. Infrastructure development\, particularly through the Ministry of Roads and Transport\, follows closely with an allocation of KSh 312 billion. This highlights sustained investment in connectivity and logistics as key enablers of economic growth. \nThe health sector also records a significant expansion\, with the State Department for Medical Services increasing from KSh 105.95 billion in 2025/26 to KSh 132.97 billion in 2026/27\, representing a 25.5% increase. This growth is largely driven by expanded investments in national referral services\, health products and technologies\, and social protection in health. \nRecent economic data indicates that Kenya’s economy expanded by 4.9% year-on-year in Q3 2025\, driven largely by resilience in the agriculture and construction sectors. This growth has been achieved despite significant public debt repayment obligations and ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts. \nNotwithstanding the growth momentum\, the economy continues to face structural challenges\, including underperforming revenue collection\, high public debt levels\, and persistent cost-of-living pressures. Revenue targets have\, in recent years\, fallen short of projections\, while interest payments continue to consume an increasing share of tax revenues—highlighting ongoing public finance management constraints. \nIt is against this evolving economic landscape that ICPAK convenes the Budget Review & Analysis Seminar – Current State of Affairs\, aimed at providing a timely and in-depth analysis of the country’s fiscal position\, budget implementation realities\, and the implications of recent policy and legislative changes on taxation\, public financial management\, and overall economic performance. \nThe seminar will address the following key thematic areas:\n• Macroeconomic Performance & Outlook: Economic growth\, inflation trends\, employment\, and sectoral performance.\n• Revenue Mobilization & Tax Policy Changes: Recent developments in tax policy\, administration\, and compliance strategies.\n• Fiscal Framework\, Budget highlights and Public Expenditure Priorities: Analysis of budgetary allocations to key sectors\, including education\, health\, infrastructure\, counties\, and social protection.\n• Public Debt Dynamics & Fiscal Sustainability: Trends in debt servicing\, debt-to-GDP ratio\, and emerging fiscal risks.\n• Budget Implementation Challenges: Revenue underperformance\, execution bottlenecks\, pending bills\, accountability and governance issues.\n• Implications for Professionals & Businesses: Strategic insights for accountants\, tax practitioners\, CFOs\, and financial managers.\n• Future Budget & Policy Outlook: Emerging trends and possible scenarios for FY2026/27 and beyond. \nTarget Audience \nAudit and tax practitioners\, Personnel handling tax issues in organizations\, Representatives from KRA\, Taxpayers’ association(s)\, Accountants\, Finance Professionals\, Auditors\, Chief Finance officers\, Academia. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 5 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \n\n\n\nCategory\nPhysical\nVirtual\n\n\nAssociates\n Kes.5\,500.00 – per delegate\nKes. 5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\nMembers\n  Kes.5\,500.00 – per delegate\n Kes. 5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\nNon-members\n  Kes.5\,500.00 per delegate\n Kes.5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\n\nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar 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.   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:THE ANNUAL NPO CONFERENCE  (with PBORA)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE ANNUAL NPO CONFERENCE (with PBORA)\nTheme: Strengthening Accountability\, Transparency and Sustainability in the Non-Profit Sector\nDate: 15th – 19th June 2026\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa\nTime: 09.30am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW: \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nPractical 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 recognises 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. \nFor 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.

SUMMARY:THE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 2 (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 2\nTheme: Advancing Tax Excellence in a Digital\, Sustainable and Globally Evolving Economy\nDate: 15th-19th June 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nINTRODUCTION \nThe tax environment in Kenya and across the globe is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technological advancement\, evolving fiscal needs and heightened expectations for transparency and accountability. As governments embrace digital systems and align with international tax reforms\, organizations must re-evaluate their approaches to compliance\, planning and financial governance. These shifts demand that accounting and finance professionals enhance their technical capacity and deepen their understanding of new tax trends. \nIn Kenya\, ongoing tax policy reforms continue to reshape the fiscal landscape\, with significant implications for businesses\, public institutions and individuals. The increasing use of digital tools\, enhanced tax reporting procedures and structured revenue mobilisation strategies require practitioners who can interpret regulatory changes and apply them effectively within their organizations. This has made continuous professional development not just desirable\, but essential. \nAt the same time\, international tax developments\, including global minimum tax adoption\, digital economy taxation and strengthened anti-avoidance frameworks are influencing domestic practice. Accountants and tax professionals must stay ahead of these changes to ensure compliance\, support strategic decision-making and mitigate risks arising from cross-border transactions and emerging global standards. \nSustainability considerations have further expanded the scope of tax practice\, with governments integrating environmental\, social and governance (ESG) principles into fiscal policy. Tax professionals now play a central role in advising on green incentives\, climate-linked fiscal measures and sustainability reporting expectations. This evolution underscores the need for practitioners to understand how tax interacts with broader ESG and regulatory frameworks. \nThe Taxation Masterclass is therefore designed as an intensive\, technical and forward-looking program that equips finance and accounting professionals with the knowledge\, tools and insights required to navigate and excel in an increasingly complex tax environment. It blends tax policy\, global reforms\, digital transformation\, risk management and sustainability into a cohesive professional learning experience. \nTAXATION MASTERCLASS OBJECTIVES \nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\nDeepen Understanding of Modern Tax Ecosystems: Strengthen knowledge of evolving tax landscapes\, including digital tax systems\, automation and AI-driven administration\, and their implications for organizational compliance.\nInterpret Current Tax Policy Reforms: Examine the impact of Kenya’s ongoing tax changes\, such as incentive rationalization\, revenue mobilisation measures and regulatory adjustments on businesses\, institutions\, and fiscal stability.\n\niii.

SUMMARY:Anti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAnti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar\nDATE: 16th June 2026\nTIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nMode: Virtual \nOverview \nAnti-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. \nUnder 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. \nAccounting 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. \nA 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. \nRecord-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. \nUltimately\, 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. Join us for this webinar to get useful insights on the obligations placed on accounting professionals on matters AML \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals\, especially members in practice.  \nCPD Units:  \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 2 Structured CPD Units. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe Webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).

SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th – 18th June 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAs global expectations for transparency and accountability continue to rise\, organizations are increasingly required to demonstrate credible performance on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) matters. Sustainability assurance has therefore become essential in strengthening stakeholder confidence by enhancing the reliability and quality of sustainability-related disclosures. With the rapid adoption of sustainability reporting frameworks and the alignment of financial and non-financial information\, professionals must deepen their understanding of the evolving assurance landscape. \nThe shift toward standardized sustainability reporting\, especially with the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, alongside established frameworks such as GRI\, SASB and local regulatory requirements\, has created a need for consistent application and interpretation. These frameworks provide the structure for identifying material ESG issues\, defining reporting boundaries and ensuring comparability across organizations and industries. \nClimate-related disclosures have emerged as integral to sustainability reporting. Accordingly\, understanding Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions become increasingly important as an entity measures and reports on its environmental impact. Accurate measurement and disclosure of emissions are increasingly linked to both financial reporting and enterprise risk management-factors that make this an area of significant focus during sustainability assurance engagements. \nHigh-quality ESG assurance requires quality internal controls\, reliable data systems\, and robust verification procedures. Practitioners should keep in mind the special challenges that arise when assessing ESG risks\, testing control environments\, and gathering evidence during limited or reasonable assurance engagements\, which are different from those encountered in traditional financial audits. The effective collection of data\, proper structuring of documentation\, and rigorous processes for verification are very important for credible sustainability reporting to the expectations of regulators and investors and wider stakeholders. \nThe workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following: \nOverview of Sustainability Assurance \n\nThe purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.\nThe role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.\nHow sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.\nKey drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance\n\n Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks \n\nGlobal frameworks: GRI\, SASB\, ISSB\, IFRS S1 & S2.\nLocal sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.\nAlignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.\nEmerging disclosure requirements for climate\, social\, and governance metrics.\n\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting \n\nUnderstanding Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions.\nRelevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.\nGHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).\nTransition risks\, climate scenarios\, and their impact on disclosures.\n\nSustainability Assurance Engagements \n\nUnpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000\nTypes of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.\nKey procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.\nIndependence\, ethical requirements\, and assurance provider qualifications.\nCommon challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.\n\nData Collection\, Verification\, and Reporting \n\nBest practices for ESG data collection and quality control.\nVerification techniques and third-party assurance.\nData governance\, documentation\, and internal record-keeping standards.\nUse of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.\n\nESG Risk Management and Internal Controls \n\nIntegrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.\nEnsuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.\nDesigning internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.\nMonitoring\, evaluation\, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE 7TH ANNUAL BOARD TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 7TH ANNUAL BOARD TRAINING\nTheme: Effective Modern-Day Governance for Solid Foundations\nDATE: 6TH JULY– 10TH JULY 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM\nENASHIPAI RESORT\, NAIVASHA \nOVERVIEW \nBoards 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. \nEffectiveness 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. \nBoards 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. \nHigh-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: \n\nBoard Roles and Fiduciary Duties in a Digital World – Modern responsibilities and legal obligations of directors.\nEmerging Legal and Regulatory Trends for Boards – Staying ahead of compliance\, liability\, and sector-specific updates.\nEthical Leadership and Accountability at the Board Level – Strengthening transparency and integrity in decision-making.\nBoard Dynamics and Collaborative Decision-Making – Enhancing teamwork\, conflict resolution\, and effective meetings.\nAdvanced Financial Literacy for Strategic Oversight – Understanding statements\, ratios\, and budgeting for informed governance.\nStrategic Planning and Organizational Guidance – Shaping\, monitoring\, and evaluating long-term organizational strategies.\nBuilding a Risk-Intelligent Board – Identifying\, assessing\, and mitigating financial\, operational\, and cyber risks.\nPerformance Monitoring and Accountability Metrics – Tools to measure board and management effectiveness.\nEmbedding ESG into Board Oversight – Integrating sustainability and social responsibility into strategy and operations.\nAI\, Technology\, and Digital Governance – Leveraging tech responsibly while managing emerging risks.\nSuccession Planning and Leadership Continuity – Preparing for seamless transitions at board and executive levels.\nDiversity\, Inclusion\, and High-Impact Boards – Strengthening decision-making through varied perspectives and skills.\nBook Review: Boards That Lead: When to Take Charge\, When to Partner\, and When to Stay Out of the Way by Ram Charan\, Dennis Carey\, and Michael Useem – Practical insights on balancing oversight\, strategy\, and collaboration.\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe training will be beneficial to Board Members\, Board Chairpersons\, Board Committee Members and Committee Chairpersons\, Board Secretaries\, CEOs\, Senior Management\, Aspiring Board Members\, Business Owners\, and Entrepreneurs\, \n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the training. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nThe Board training charges are Kshs. 90\,000.

SUMMARY:IFRS 18-Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 18- Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\nDate: 7th July 2025\nTime: 4:00pm – 6:00pm\nMode of Delivery: Virtual \nOverview \nAs 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. \nBeyond 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. \nThe 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. \nWith 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. \nTopics to be covered will include: \n\nUnderstanding the IFRS 18 framework and replacement of IAS 1\nStandardized operating\, investing and financing categories\nNew subtotals\, performance metrics and disaggregation expectations\nLinking management performance measures and entity performance narratives\nTransition planning\, disclosure redesign and internal alignment considerations\nPractical implications for preparers\, reviewers\, auditors and governance roles\n\n Target Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:THE IFRS MASTER CLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IFRS MASTER CLASS 2026 (Mandatory Training) \nTheme: Navigating the Complexities of Internal Financial Reporting Standards \nDate: 13th -17th July 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nThe global financial reporting landscape is undergoing significant transformation driven by heightened expectations for transparency\, comparability\, and the integration of sustainability information into mainstream reporting. In response\, the IFRS Masterclass is designed as an intensive programme aimed at strengthening technical competence in both financial and sustainability reporting frameworks\, while enhancing professional judgement in complex reporting environments. \nThe programme provides a comprehensive coverage of key International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)\, emerging sustainability disclosure requirements\, and specialised reporting frameworks. It equips participants with practical skills to interpret\, apply\, and critically evaluate financial reporting standards in a manner that supports high-quality\, decision-useful financial information. \nCore financial reporting areas include IFRS 18 on Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\, IFRS 7 on Financial Instruments Disclosures\, IAS 24 on Related Party Disclosures\, and IAS 29 on Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. These topics strengthen participants’ ability to enhance disclosure quality\, improve transparency in financial instruments\, and address the impact of economic volatility on financial reporting. \nThe Masterclass also delves into IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards\, with a focus on IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. Participants will explore the selection and reporting of sustainability metrics and targets\, scenario analysis\, greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting\, and the integration of climate-related risks into strategic and financial decision-making. This ensures alignment with global and local ESG reporting expectations and emerging investor demands. \nSpecialised technical areas are also covered\, including IFRS 16 on Leases\, with emphasis on recognition\, measurement\, and disclosure of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. In addition\, participants are introduced to the International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)\, including their structure\, applicability\, and relationship with IFRS and IPSAS frameworks\, particularly within the non-profit reporting environment. \nFurther technical depth is provided through IFRS 5 on Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations\, IFRS 17 on Insurance Contracts\, and IAS 26 on Accounting and Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans. These standards address advanced issues relating to classification\, measurement\, actuarial assumptions\, and disclosure requirements in specialised reporting contexts. \nThe programme concludes with applied insights drawn from financial reporting review outcomes\, highlighting common compliance gaps and emerging trends in practice.

SUMMARY:IAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period\nDate: 14th July 2026\nTime: 4.00-6.00PM\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nIn 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. \nIAS 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. \nThe session will focus on how to: \n\nDistinguish between adjusting and non-adjusting events\nDetermine when post-reporting period information requires adjustment\nApply appropriate disclosure requirements for material non-adjusting events\nAssess the impact on the going concern assumption\nNavigate key judgment areas\, including estimates\, litigation and post-year-end transactions\n\nThe 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. \nBy 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. \nTarget Audience \nThis webinar is designed for professional accountants involved in financial reporting\, audit\, and assurance functions. \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\n \n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 1\,000\n \n\n\nNon-Member\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.

However\, the operating environment continues to evolve rapidly due to changing regulatory requirements\, economic uncertainties\, technological disruption\, increasing customer expectations\, and emerging risks. Financial institutions are therefore required to strengthen their financial reporting frameworks\, enhance risk management practices\, maintain adequate capital levels\, and leverage innovation to remain competitive and resilient. \nThe implementation of major reporting standards such as IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments continues to reshape financial reporting across the sector. While significant progress has been made\, institutions continue to face challenges relating to data quality\, systems integration\, actuarial modelling\, expected credit loss calculations\, and evolving regulatory expectations. At the same time\, boards and management are under increasing pressure to improve governance structures\, strengthen internal controls\, and provide transparent and decision-useful information to stakeholders. \nTechnological innovation is also transforming the financial services landscape. The growth of digital banking\, mobile financial services\, fintech and Insurtech solutions\, artificial intelligence\, and advanced data analytics is creating new opportunities for operational efficiency\, customer engagement\, and financial inclusion. However\, these developments also introduce emerging risks relating to cybersecurity\, data governance\, operational resilience\, and regulatory compliance. \nFurther\, the sector continues to play a critical role in advancing financial inclusion and supporting economic development. Despite the significant progress achieved in expanding access to financial services\, institutions must continue developing innovative products and delivery channels that meet the needs of underserved populations while maintaining sound risk management practices. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Institute has organized the Insurance & Banking Sector Conference 2026 to provide a platform for regulators\, practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, actuaries\, risk professionals\, policy makers\, and industry leaders to discuss emerging developments\, share practical experiences\, and explore strategies for enhancing financial reporting\, institutional resilience\, governance\, innovation\, and sustainable growth within the financial services sector. \n The conference will explore the following thematic areas: \n1.

SUMMARY:Forensic Audit and Internal control Workshop-Central Rift Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nForensic Audit and Internal control Workshop-Central Rift Branch\nTheme:\nDate: 16th – 17th  July 2026\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Naivasha\, TBC \nOverview \nForensic auditing has become an essential response to the growing incidence and sophistication of fraud\, financial misconduct and governance failures within organizations. The application of forensic audit principles\, including the identification of fraud risk factors\, understanding fraud typologies\, and recognizing red flags\, is increasingly relevant in strengthening accountability and transparency. These aspects provide a foundation for examining how financial irregularities arise and how they can be detected through focused investigative approaches. \nEqually critical is the role of internal control systems in mitigating organizational risk. The design and implementation of effective internal controls\, guided by established frameworks such as the COSO Internal Control Framework\, form a core element of sound financial management. Weak or poorly implemented controls often expose organizations to fraud\, errors\, and non-compliance\, making the assessment of control environments a key area of focus in forensic audit engagements. \nThe interaction between internal controls and forensic audits underscores the importance of linking preventive and detective mechanisms. Understanding how control weaknesses create opportunities for fraud\, and how forensic audit techniques such as data analysis\, digital forensics\, and evidence gathering are applied when controls fail\, remains central to modern audit and assurance practices. Investigation processes and forensic reporting further support the communication of findings in a manner suitable for management\, regulators\, and legal proceedings. \nIn addition\, governance\, ethical considerations\, and regulatory requirements shape the effectiveness of both forensic audits and internal control systems. The responsibilities of auditors and finance professionals\, alongside emerging challenges such as technology-driven fraud and cyber risks\, continue to influence the evolution of forensic auditing. These developments highlight the need to remain responsive to new risks while reinforcing strong internal control and governance structures. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to Forensic Auditing: Principles\, Scope\, and the Forensic Audit Process\nTechniques and Best Practices in Forensic Auditing\nData Forensics in Action: Leveraging AI and Big Data to Strengthen Audit Trails and Internal Controls\n\n\nApplication of technology\, Data analytics\, and AI in forensic investigations and control testing.\n\n\nModern Fraud Landscape and Emerging Trends in Forensic Auditing\n\n\nOverview of current fraud schemes\nKey players\nEvolving fraud risks and regulatory developments.\n\n\nRisk Assessment and Fraud Risk Profiling for Organizations\n\n\nIdentifying\, assessing\, and prioritizing fraud risks across organizational processes and sectors.\n\n\nInternal Control Frameworks: Developing an effective Internal Control Framework (ICF)\nDeveloping Policies: Procedure manuals to support effective internal controls\nForensic Investigation Report Writing and Evidence Management\n\n\nDocumentation standards\, evidence handling\, and preparing reports that stand up \n\n\nEmbedding a Proactive Fraud Detection and Ethical Culture in the Workplace\n\n\nWhistleblowing mechanisms\nFostering ethical culture and building a sustainable “speak-up” and fraud-aware culture.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nFinancial Reporting Seminar – Western Branch\nTheme:\nDate: 16th – 17th July 2026\nTime: 9.00 AM-15.30PM\nVenue: Amanda Hotel- Kakamega \nOverview \nThe global financial reporting environment continues to evolve rapidly\, driven by increased regulatory scrutiny\, technological transformation\, sustainability imperatives\, and growing stakeholder demand for transparent\, comparable\, and decision-useful financial information. In this environment\, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) remain central to promoting high-quality financial reporting\, enhancing consistency across jurisdictions\, and maintaining public confidence in the accounting and finance profession. Organizations are increasingly expected to provide financial reports that accurately reflect business performance while addressing broader risks and opportunities that influence long-term value creation. \nAccounting and finance professionals are therefore required to stay informed about new standards\, amendments\, interpretations\, and emerging implementation challenges. As transactions and reporting expectations become more complex\, professionals must apply sound technical expertise and professional judgment to ensure compliance\, accuracy\, and consistency in financial reporting. This Financial Reporting Seminar has been designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of current IFRS requirements and enhance their ability to apply the standards effectively in practical and increasingly complex reporting environments. \nRecent IFRS developments relating to financial instruments\, revenue recognition\, leases\, sustainability-related disclosures\, and the presentation of financial statements continue to have significant implications for recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure. In particular\, the introduction of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 represents a major shift toward integrating sustainability and climate-related information with traditional financial reporting. These standards require organizations to strengthen governance\, reporting processes\, and internal controls in order to meet evolving stakeholders and regulatory expectations. \nThe seminar will provide practical insights into navigating these developments and addressing common challenges in areas such as fair value measurement\, impairment assessments\, financial risk disclosures\, and sustainability reporting. Through practical illustrations\, case studies\, and interactive discussions\, participants will gain a deeper understanding of real-world application issues\, common reporting pitfalls\, and areas requiring significant professional judgment across different industries. \nBy bringing together technical experts\, practitioners\, preparers\, auditors\, and finance professionals in an interactive physical setting\, the seminar offers a valuable platform for strengthening technical competence\, sharing implementation experiences\, and discussing emerging trends in financial reporting. Ultimately\, the seminar reinforces the profession’s commitment to high-quality financial reporting\, transparency\, accountability\, and compliance with global best practices. \nKey Areas to be Covered  \n\n IFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information\n\n\nPurpose and objectives of IFRS S1\nRelationship with other sustainability frameworks (GRI\, TCFD)\nCore disclosure pillars: Governance\, Strategy\, Risk Management\, Metrics and Targets\n\n\n IFRS S2 – Climate-related Disclosures\n\n\nPurpose and scope of IFRS S2\nBoard oversight and governance of climate-related matters\nManagement’s role in identifying and managing climate risks and opportunities\nImpact of climate risks on business models\, strategy\, and financial planning\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions: metrics and targets\n\n\n GHG Emissions and Climate-related Financial Risk\n\n\nIntroduction to GHG emissions\nOverview of the GHG Protocol (Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 emissions)\nManaging climate risks and reducing emissions\nLink between climate-related risks and financial reporting\nDeveloping and implementing a transition plan\n\n\n The Sustainability Reporting Cycle\n\n\nAllocation of responsibility for sustainability reporting\nEstablishing the sustainability reporting landscape\nIdentification of material sustainability-related information\nDetermination of data requirements\nData collection\, validation\, and reporting\nImplementation and continuous improvement of sustainability reporting\n\n\n Financial Instruments: IFRS 9 and IFRS 7\n\nIFRS 9 – Financial Instruments \n\nClassification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities\nExpected Credit Loss (ECL) model and impairment considerations\nHedge accounting\nDerecognition\n\nIFRS 7 – Financial Instruments Disclosures \n\nCategories of financial instruments\nDisclosure of financial risks (credit\, liquidity\, and market risk)\nStatement of financial position disclosures\nImpairment and liquidity risk disclosures\n\n\n Other Key IFRS Developments Affecting Financial Reporting\n\nIFRS 16 – Leases \n\nLease identification and term determination\nRecognition and measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities\nLease modifications\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\n\nIFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers \n\nScope and recognition principles\nMeasurement of revenue\nContract costs\nPresentation and disclosure\n\nIFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements \n\nRevised income statement structure\nManagement-defined performance measures\nAggregation and disaggregation principles\nOther key changes affecting financial statements\nInterim financial reporting\nEffective date and transition considerations\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:SACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme:\nDate: 22nd -24th July 2026 \nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: Sarova Imperial -Kisumu \nOVERVIEW: \nThe Savings and Credit Cooperative (SACCO) sector continues to play a pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion\, mobilizing savings and providing affordable access to credit for a significant proportion of the Kenyan population. This contribution is particularly evident in rural communities\, where SACCOs have substantially improved access to essential financial services for individuals who would otherwise remain underserved by conventional banking institutions. By offering accessible savings and credit facilities\, SACCOs have empowered ordinary citizens\, fostered economic participation and promoted socio-economic development at the grassroots level. \nHowever\, the SACCO sector has historically faced several challenges\, including weak governance structures\, inadequate capitalization\, non-compliance with financial reporting standards and emerging sustainability requirements. These challenges have constrained the sector’s ability to fully realize its potential as a catalyst for the socio-economic empowerment of its members. The recent events involving the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Cooperatives (KUSCCO) serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of governance failures within the sector. The scandal\, which resulted in substantial financial losses for participating SACCOs and their members\, significantly eroded stakeholder confidence and underscored the far-reaching implications of poor governance on the stability of the financial sector and the broader economy. \nThese developments underscore the urgent need to strengthen governance frameworks\, enhance oversight mechanisms\, and foster a renewed commitment to accountability\, transparency and prudent financial management within SACCO institutions. In response to the governance and operational weaknesses exposed by these failures\, the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) have intensified regulatory requirements and supervisory oversight aimed at safeguarding members’ deposits\, promoting sound corporate governance practices and enhancing the financial resilience and stability of SACCOs. These measures are intended not only to restore public confidence in the sector but also to ensure that SACCOs operate in a safe\, sustainable and member-centric manner. \nOn a positive note\, the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Award 2025 provided valuable insights and learning opportunities for the SACCO sector. Several SACCOs distinguished themselves by demonstrating exemplary practices in financial reporting\, corporate governance and sustainability. These institutions exhibited strong adherence to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) while integrating Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) principles into their strategic and operational frameworks\, thereby enhancing transparency\, accountability\, and stakeholder confidence. \nImportantly\, the FiRe Award also brought to the fore critical issues affecting the sector’s compliance landscape and operational effectiveness. Among the key challenges identified were weaknesses in governance structures\, inadequate capitalization\, technological deficiencies and increasing incidences of fraud. These findings underscore the need for SACCOs to strengthen institutional governance\, invest in digital transformation\, enhance internal control systems and adopt sustainable business practices to improve resilience\, maintain regulatory compliance and safeguard member interests. \nThe SACCO Sector Conference 2026\, therefore\, presents a timely and strategic platform for stakeholders to critically reflect on the prevailing challenges confronting the sector while jointly exploring emerging opportunities for innovation\, resilience and sustainable growth. By fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration among key actors\, the conference seeks to strengthen the capacity of SACCO leaders\, practitioners and members to effectively navigate the evolving financial landscape.

SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence\nTheme- Strengthening Emotional Intelligence for Impactful Leadership and Professional Excellence\nDate: 29th July 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue- CPA Centre \nOverview \nEmotional Intelligence (EI) has become an essential capability in today’s professional world\, influencing how individuals understand their emotions\, build meaningful relationships\, and make grounded decisions. Unlike IQ\, which measures cognitive ability\, EI combines thinking and feeling to support self-awareness\, emotional regulation\, and authentic decision-making. It enables individuals to manage their reactions\, meet emotional needs\, and navigate situations with clarity and intention. Because EI predicts effectiveness and can be developed over time\, it offers a unique pathway to personal fulfillment and professional success. \nIn modern workplaces\, EI is increasingly recognized as a strategic competency that enhances communication\, strengthens trust\, and enables professionals to respond ethically under pressure. For accountants\, auditors\, finance practitioners\, and business leaders\, EI plays a pivotal role in managing stakeholder expectations\, upholding integrity\, and maintaining composure in high-stakes environments. By identifying emotional triggers and managing emotional hijacking\, professionals cultivate the resilience and sound judgment required in complex and demanding roles. \nA strong grounding in Emotional Intelligence supports self-awareness\, emotional regulation\, empathy\, and social competence skills that enable individuals to manage conflict effectively\, give constructive feedback\, and lead with authenticity. In fields where technical expertise is expected\, EI becomes a key differentiator that enhances ethical behavior\, client care\, decision-making\, and leadership effectiveness. Professionals with high EI are better equipped to adapt to change\, handle stress\, and respond calmly in workplaces characterized by tight deadlines and regulatory scrutiny. \nBeyond the individual level\, EI has become central to building healthy organizational cultures. Teams with strong emotional intelligence demonstrate greater collaboration\, accountability\, innovation\, and psychological safety. Leaders who apply EI foster inclusive environments where people feel respected\, motivated\, and empowered to perform at their best. As organizations confront growing complexity\, diversity\, and evolving work dynamics\, EI has emerged as a critical driver of trust\, agility\, and long-term performance. \nIt is in recognition of this growing importance that ICPAK has organized the Evening Networking Forum. The session provides professionals with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Emotional Intelligence through guided discussions\, real-life scenarios\, and practical exercises. Participants will explore their emotional strengths\, practice empathy-centered communication\, and learn how EI influences leadership\, teamwork\, and conflict management. By blending learning with live networking\, the forum equips attendees to apply EI concepts immediately while strengthening their professional connections and personal growth journeys. \nThe forum is designed to cover the following topics: \nIntroduction to Emotional Intelligence \n\nDefinition\, principles\, and components of Emotional Intelligence\nUnderstanding emotions and responses\nWhy EI matters in modern professional practice\nDifference between EQ and IQ\n\n\nHow emotional intelligence differs from other intelligences\n\n\npractical: Analyze personal emotional triggers\n\nAssessing and Developing Emotional Intelligence \n\nConducting an emotional intelligence test\nBuilding self-awareness and self-motivation\nPracticing self-regulation techniques\nUsing journaling for self-reflection\nCreate an EI development plan\n\nThe EI Mirror: Guided Self-Reflection and Practical Application \n\nStructured emotional self-assessment aligned to workplace dynamics\nIdentifying emotional triggers\, communication styles\, and behavioural blind spots\nPeer-based reflection exercise focusing on empathy and active listening\nGroup debrief synthesizing personal insights and improvement strategies\n\nSocial Competencies and Empathy \n\nDeveloping empathy in workplace interactions\nEnhancing relationship management skills\nBuilding social skills for collaboration\nUsing active listening techniques\n\nEmotional Intelligence and Professional Effectiveness \n\nRole of EI in leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and interpersonal influence\nEnhancing teamwork\, client engagement\, and stakeholder communication\nManaging stress\, feedback\, and conflict in high-pressure environments\n\nApplying Emotional Intelligence at Work \n\nPracticing assertive communication\nApplying work etiquette and professionalism\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Team leaders\, managers\, and supervisors\, Public sector\, private sector\, and NGO professionals\, Entrepreneurs and business owners \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. 2\,000.
