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 By embracing empathy alongside assertiveness, men can move beyond outdated stereotypes of stoicism and lead with greater authenticity and impact in diverse workplaces.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

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

OVERVIEW
In today’s dynamic and interconnected business environment, leaders face the challenge of navigating rapidly evolving technologies, shifting market conditions and increasing societal expectations. Strategic agility is essential for anticipating change and responding effectively, enabling executives to guide their organizations with clarity and foresight. Alongside this, decision-making in the age of AI requires a delicate balance between harnessing technological advancements and maintaining ethical judgment, ensuring that innovation strengthens organizational performance and integrity.
Resilience has become a defining characteristic of effective leadership. Leaders who foster organizational resilience are equipped to manage disruptions, cyber risks and unforeseen challenges while sustaining high-performing teams. Creating cultures grounded in trust, inclusion, and psychological safety allows creativity and innovation to flourish. Equally, embedding sustainability into strategy and operations is critical, as leaders are increasingly responsible for integrating ESG principles into decision-making and aligning long-term value creation with broader societal impact.
Leadership today also demands an appreciation of diversity across generations and perspectives. Executives who can manage multigenerational teams effectively foster collaboration, engagement and innovation. Responsible adoption of AI and robust data governance reinforce organizational accountability and stakeholder trust. Complementing these external responsibilities, leaders must maintain personal financial wellness and mental resilience, recognizing that sustainable performance depends on both professional and personal equilibrium.
Modern leadership in the Era of Intelligent Transformation blends creativity, ethical stewardship, and strategic foresight. Driving innovation while maintaining resilience, leveraging technology responsibly, cultivating high-performing inclusive cultures, and embedding sustainability into decision-making are all critical to navigating the complexities of contemporary organizations. In light of this, ICPAK will hold a one-week Leadership Summit in Singapore themed “Executive Leadership in the Era of Intelligent Transformation,” bringing together senior corporate and public sector executives and emerging leaders for in-depth discussions on strategies, mindsets, and practices essential for leading effectively in today’s dynamic and technology-driven environment.

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.

Venue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa
This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration
INTRODUCTION
The 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.
In 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.
At 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.
Sustainability 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.
The 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.
TAXATION MASTERCLASS OBJECTIVES

Deepen 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.
Interpret 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.

iii. Enhance Technical Capacity in Tax Risk Management: Build advanced skills in tax reviews, audit preparedness, documentation and managing tax exposures in increasingly complex regulatory environments.

Strengthen Competence in Digital Tax Compliance: Equip participants with practical knowledge on e-invoicing, real-time reporting, data analytics, and emerging digital tools used in modern tax administration.
Improve Cross-Border Taxation Capabilities: Provide deeper insights into international tax trends, global minimum tax developments, cross-border VAT and transfer pricing compliance for multinational and regional operations.
Integrate ESG and Sustainability into Tax Practice: Enhance understanding of carbon taxation, environmental fiscal reforms, green incentives and the role of tax transparency within ESG reporting frameworks.

vii. Promote Robust Tax Governance and Ethical Practice: Reinforce ethical standards and governance principles essential for managing tax responsibilities, stakeholder expectations and institutional integrity.
viii. Support County-Level Revenue and Fiscal Sustainability: Explore innovative models, policies, and accountability frameworks for strengthening county own-source revenue (OSR) and subnational fiscal resilience.

Encourage Knowledge Exchange and Professional Collaboration: Provide a platform for professionals to share experiences, learn emerging best practices and engage in dialogue on tax innovations and future trends.
Advance Continuous Professional Development: Deliver up-to-date, practical training that enhances the relevance, adaptability and long-term professional growth of accountants and tax practitioners in a dynamic environment.

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

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.
Topics to be covered will include:

Anti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar
2026-06-16 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
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.

Audit Documentation- ISA 230 Practical Course
Date: 18th–19th June 2026
Time: 9.00-15.30
Venue: ICPAK Auditorium
Theme: Purpose and Principles of Audit Documentation
Overview
Audit documentation is a foundational element of high-quality audits. International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 230, Audit Documentation, sets out the auditor’s responsibility to prepare audit documentation that provides a sufficient and appropriate record of the basis for the auditor’s report and evidence that the audit was conducted in accordance with ISAs and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
However, many audit practitioners particularly early-career auditors and professionals transitioning into audit roles face challenges in applying ISA 230 practically. Common issues include inadequate working papers, unclear linkages between audit procedures and conclusions, insufficient evidence, poor referencing, and inconsistent use of audit software. As regulatory scrutiny increases globally, audit firms and institutions must invest in strengthening audit documentation skills to ensure audit quality, compliance, and defensibility.
This two-day practical course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by equipping participants with hands-on experience in preparing high-quality audit documentation aligned with ISA 230.
The following topics will be covered:
1. Foundations and Core Documentation Requirements

Introduction to ISA 230: Purpose, scope, and key requirements
Principles of effective documentation
What constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit documentation
Structure and components of a complete audit file
Documenting planning and risk assessment
Practical Exercise: Preparing planning working papers

2. Practical Tools, Case Studies, and Review Techniques

Documenting audit procedures, evidence, and conclusions
Recording professional judgment and significant matters
Common deficiencies identified by regulators and how to avoid them
Use of audit software/tools and standard templates
Practical Exercise: End-to-end documentation of a sample audit area
Review and wrap-up: How to build a strong documentation culture

TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:

Supervisors in external audit, internal audit and compliance
Audit associates and seniors

Mid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills

Individuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing
Tax Practitioners and Tax Experts
Financial Controllers and Credit Managers

Accounting and finance professionals involved in assurance
Risk and compliance officers
