SUMMARY:The 6th External Audit Practitioners Forum (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nThe 6th External Audit Practitioners Forum (Mandatory Training) – Recording\nTheme: Upholding Public Interest Through the Improvement of Audit Quality\nDate: 23rd – 24th April 2025\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Virtual\nThis is one of the Mandatory Trainings for practicing certificate consideration \nOverview \nAudit firms in Kenya today play a critical role in facilitating economic growth and development. The audit reports they generate drive individual and firms’ economic and investment decision-making processes. These reports are also relied upon by an individual or a firm in taking a decision to invest in a particular firm or not and are therefore fundamental in guiding and influencing economic decisions at an individual and firm level. Audit report is an output of a rigorous exercise undertaken by staff of an audit firm. Its quality is solely dependent on the individual audit firm’s capacity and abilities to deliver quality audit services anchored on applicable professional ethical standards in a sustainable way. \nThis is particularly important in the face of the increased reported cases of collapse of corporates immediately following issue of clean audit reports. Consequently\, public confidence and trust in the audit exercise is under threat and often raises more questions than answers. This adversely affects the reputation of not only the audit firms involved but also the accountancy profession at large. \nTherefore\, it is imperative that audit firms that provide external audit services are supported to maintain and develop their professional competence and skills to enable them to offer audit services of high standards to their clients. This will go a long way in providing an appropriate tone and culture of commitment to high professional standards in leadership of the audit firms in Kenya. In addition\, it will enable them to perform appropriate engagement risk management exercises to delineate important risks associated with a particular audit undertaking and subsequently decide to accept or reject the offer to perform an audit. \nMoreover\, many small audit firms are faced with the challenge of managing effectively their human resources. Succession planning is one identified issue with many owners managed (sole proprietorship) audit firms where upon the demise of the sole auditor\, the firm faces challenges of existence. Managing intergenerational transitions for many audit firms\, particularly in the small category group\, is an existential challenge and one that if not addressed effectively has the potential to negatively affect their performance. \nThe digital transformation taking place in all spheres of human life today is also impacting on external audit service delivery. External audit practitioners are therefore required to keep abreast of the new developments not only in digital space\, but also in other relevant areas such as the social\, economic and political landscapes of the economies they operate in. It is also noteworthy to mention here that cyber security risks present a significant threat to financial reporting systems and capital markets. Therefore\, external auditors are expected to obtain the competence necessary to deal with key cyber risks. Moreover\, with heightened cases of money laundering\, it is critical that awareness on anti-money laundering (AML) laws\, regulations and best practices is created amongst practitioners to enhance their compliance with the new laws and requirements. \nThe impact of the various new developments mentioned above cut across both the private and public audit landscapes and the complexities arising from the global developments around the profession call for concerted efforts aimed at not only maintaining the quality of the audits undertaken\, but also equally reassure the public that the audited financial statements can be relied upon. This trust aspect must be maintained at all costs if the audit practice were to continue gaining the expected confidence and trust of the public. \nLast but not the least\, the adoption of new IFRSs\, ISAs and IPSASs requires that external auditors are appraised of the new standards and how it impacts on their professional duties. For example\, currently there are several newly adopted IFRSs on sustainability reporting and assurance including IFRS S1 & S2 and ISSA 5000 which are relevant to external audit practitioners today. \nIt is against this background that the Institute has organized a two-day virtual forum to discuss these critical developments which affect the audit practice and accountancy profession and seek to address the ensuing concerns of audit quality. To guide the discussion during the Seminar\, the following topics of discussion will form the focus of this very important virtual event. \ni. Developments in accounting and auditing standards and the impact on audit quality management – ISQM 1 & 2\, ISA 220.\nii. The current auditing challenges and opportunities: An overview of the recent developments in audit practices\niii. Sustainability of audit firms: effective management including succession planning for audit firms\niv. Recent developments in Audit Practice; Case studies and lessons to be learned\n-Focus on sustainability reporting and assurance IFRS S1 & S2 and ISSA 5000 and implications on the audit practice in Kenya\nv. The new auditor reports signing and other regulatory requirements impacting the profession.\nvi. Effective risk management of an audit engagement – drawing practical lessons from practitioners’ experiences.\nvii. Effective audit firm leadership\, governance & culture\nviii. Cybersecurity and its impact on audit practitioners\nix. Anti Money Laundering (AML) for professionals\nx. Leveraging technology to deliver required efficiencies and quality in audit assignments.\n-Practical insights on the utilization of the ICPAK Audit Software \nTarget Audience: \nPrivate and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Tax Experts\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Extractive and SMEs sector accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in County Governments and private sectors\, Academia\, employees of the NPO Sector. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the Conference sessions. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Conference 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 National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop (Mandatory Training) – Recording\nTHEME: Tax compliance within the country and across borders\nDate: 28th- 29th May 2025\nTime: 9: 00am-3: 30pm\nMode of Delivery: Virtual /Zoom\n(This is one of the Mandatory Trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nInternational tax and transfer pricing rules are constantly evolving and have undergone significant changes in recent years. Changes in tax legislation\, practice\, or the approach of tax authorities across the globe can have significant implications for multinational groups. Economic shifts and digitalization are fundamentally changing the tax landscape. New challenges in tax compliance and global taxation of the digital economy are adding to the overall complexity. Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of goods\, services\, and intangibles between related parties located in different countries. The transactions between related parties are to be carried out at an “arm’s length” basis. Prices are meant to efficiently allocate resources in the market whereas the role of transfer prices is to efficiently allocate resources within a company as they move from one related entity to another. \nThe OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines have changed considerably over the past few years. Consequently\, policies are being reviewed and in some cases changes to pricing have to be made. Multinational enterprises must determine now what practical implications they face and how they can best operate within this radically changed regulatory environment. \nIn Kenya\, international taxes and transfer pricing are increasingly shaping the roles of accountants. As the country embraces globalization and attracts foreign investments\, compliance with international tax standards and transfer pricing regulations has become paramount. Accountants in Kenya play a pivotal role in ensuring organizations adhere to these standards\, mitigating tax risks\, and optimizing cross-border transactions. The Kenyan Revenue Authority’s (KRA) heightened focus on transfer pricing audits and the adoption of global best practices demand that accountants stay informed and proactive. They must navigate complex tax treaties\, manage permanent establishment risks\, and align financial strategies with regulatory expectations to safeguard business interests and drive sustainable growth. \nThe primary goal of this workshop as set by The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is to empower finance and tax professionals\, legal advisors\, policymakers\, and other stakeholders with the tools and knowledge required to address challenges in international tax and transfer pricing. The sessions will focus on creating a comprehensive understanding of current trends\, compliance requirements\, and strategies to manage risks associated with cross-border transactions. The workshop will also serve as a platform for sharing expertise\, fostering collaboration\, and providing actionable solutions tailored to the specific needs of businesses operating in a global environment. \nThe symposium intends to enhance the participants’ understanding of transfer pricing by focusing on: \n\nOverview of BEPS Pillar I and II: Implications and Compliance Strategies\nInternational tax planning\nDevelopment of Transfer Pricing Frameworks Aligned with OECD Guidelines\nStructuring Cross-Border Transactions for Tax Efficiency\nValue Chain Analysis and Tax Optimization\nOperational Transfer Pricing: Technology and Process Integration\nDispute Resolution in International Tax and Transfer Pricing\nPractical Insights into Managing Regulatory Compliance\nTransfer pricing documentation\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nICPAK Members \,Accountants \,Tax practitioners \,Members of Boards in public and private corporations\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Private and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Financial services sector Accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in Government and private sectors\, Accountants in Academia\, current and potential members of ICPAK\, members of other professional associations. \nThis training is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration. All members who would wish to practice in the future are also encouraged to enroll for the course as it provides practical skills required for effective performance in taxation and tax advisory services. \n Continuous 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:Audit Practical Skills Workshop (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Practical Skills Workshop (mandatory training) – Recordings\nTheme: Bridging the Practical Audit Skills Gap in a Rapidly Evolving Risk and Technological Environment\nDate: 17th -18th June 2025\nTime: 09.00am- 03.30pm\nMode of Delivery: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAcross the globe\, audit failures continue to expose critical gaps in risk identification\, fraud detection\, and documentation quality. This is despite significant investment in tools and training. These persistent deficiencies\, often flagged in regulatory inspections\, point to a deeper issue: the need for a transformative shift in audit practice. As emerging technologies\, complex fraud schemes\, and tightening regulatory demands reshape the audit landscape\, traditional procedural audits are no longer sufficient. Instead\, auditors must adopt a more strategic\, investigative\, and risk-responsive approach to remain relevant and effective. \nIn Kenya\, this global shift is echoed through growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators\, boards\, and the investing public. The profession is moving decisively toward risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance\, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Central to this evolution are the revised ISA 315\, which focuses on robust identification and assessment of risks of material misstatement\, and ISA 220 (Revised)\, which emphasizes quality management at the engagement level. These standards are not only compliance tools – they are frameworks for delivering insightful\, high-quality audits in a dynamic business environment. \nThe rising prevalence of fraud and financial misconduct has further elevated the role of the auditor. Modern auditors are expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities\, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. At the same time\, tightening Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws have expanded the auditor’s remit to include scrutiny of financial flows for indicators of money laundering\, terrorism financing\, and other illicit activities. This signals a broader shift: auditors are increasingly becoming agents of financial integrity and regulatory accountability. \nCompounding these challenges are today’s volatile economic conditions – marked by inflation\, geopolitical instability\, and supply chain disruptions – that can trigger significant post-reporting events. IAS 10: Events After the Reporting Period remains a vital standard in this context\, requiring auditors to exercise sound judgment in identifying and disclosing such events to maintain the integrity and relevance of financial statements. Misclassification or oversight can materially mislead stakeholders and erode trust. \nAt the foundation of effective audit delivery is audit quality control\, as set out in ISQM 1 and ISA 220 (Revised). These standards emphasize a proactive\, risk-based system of quality management that supports consistent\, high-quality engagement performance. However\, without robust documentation\, as prescribed by ISA 230\, even the most well-intentioned audit procedures may fall short. The complexity of accounting estimates\, evolving judgments\, and accelerating technological integration demand that auditors continuously enhance their ability to evaluate audit evidence\, apply judgment\, and maintain thorough documentation. \nRecognizing these multifaceted demands\, the forum concludes with a renewed focus on ethical resilience\, professional growth\, and the development of adaptive capabilities. As auditors face expanding roles and increased public scrutiny\, soft skills—such as communication\, leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and client management—are no longer optional; they are critical enablers of success. This forum is therefore designed not only to advance technical mastery but also to empower audit professionals to lead with confidence\, integrity\, and agility in today’s complex assurance landscape. \nKey Focus Areas  \nThis Training is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nA.   Enhancing Risk-Based Audit Planning through Updated ISA Guidance \n \n·         Practical application of ISA 300 – Planning an Audit of Financial Statements. \n·         Practical application of ISA 315 (Revised 2019) – Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement. \n·         Practical Application of ISA 240 – The Auditor’s Responsibilities Relating to Fraud. \n·         Practical application of ISA 330 – The Auditor’s Responses to Assessed Risks \nThese\, in the context of\, emerging technologies\, complex fraud schemes\, and tightening regulatory demands.\n\n\nB.   Audit Execution and Documentation Standards in the Digital Era \n \n·         Effective use of ISA 230: Audit documentation essentials and recent expectations. \n·         ISA 500 – Audit Evidence in a digital era. \n·         Leveraging audit software tools to standardize working papers. \n·         Addressing audit file quality issues and avoiding recurring review points. \n·         Ensuring documentation meets regulatory and quality review requirements.\n\n\nC.   Anti-Money Laundering and the Expanding Role of Auditors \n  \n \n·         AML frameworks and audit procedures for detecting red flags. \n·         Evaluating compliance with reporting obligations under AML laws. \n·         Recognizing suspicious activity indicators within financial statements. \n·         Auditor’s responsibilities in relation to reporting suspicious transactions.\n\n\nD.   Responding to Fraud Risk Response for Professional Auditors \n \n·         Techniques for investigating financial irregularities and control circumvention. \n·         Case-based detection of fictitious and override transactions. \n·         Role of forensic audit in strengthening internal controls and accountability. \n·         Using fraud risk indicators to shape audit procedures and planning.\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 2\nE.   Events After the Reporting Period and Their Audit Implications \n \n·         Understanding IAS 10 and its relevance in ongoing engagements. \n·         Assessing adjusting vs. non-adjusting events and their audit treatment. \n·         Evaluating going concern assumptions in light of subsequent events. \n·         Communicating post-reporting risks in auditor’s report and management letters.\n\n\nF.   Quality Control (ISQM 1) and ISA 220: Managing Engagement-Level Quality \n \n·         Role of the Engagement Partner under ISA 220 (Revised). \n·         Monitoring audit quality indicators and reviewer findings. \n·         Establishing robust supervision and review processes during engagements. \n·         Integrating firm-level policies with engagement-specific risks.\n\n\nG.   Emerging Trends in Audit Technology and Data Analytics \n \n·         Opportunities and risks in automating audit tests. \n·         Data Analytics – Driven Audit Procedures \n·         AI and Machine Learning in Risk Assessment \n·         Robotic Process Automation (RPA) such as Routine task automation – data extraction\, reconciliations\, and confirmations. \n·         Challenges in data reliability and auditor judgment in tech-based audits.\n\n\nH.   Professional Growth and Ethical Competence in Audit Practice \n \n·         Maintaining auditor independence in high-pressure environments. \n·         Enhancing communication and critical thinking during audits. \n·         Auditor responsibility in shaping transparent governance. \n·         Embedding continuous learning and resilience in audit career paths. \n \n\n\n\n Target 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 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.

The disparity often stems from how well audit procedures’ quality assurance systems work. Poor audit results are caused by inadequate quality controls\, noncompliance with defined standards\, and inadequate auditor training. \nAudit quality assurance encompasses the systematic processes and procedures that ensure audit services meet established standards and provide reliable\, objective\, and valuable insights. It involves a comprehensive understanding of applicable frameworks\, such as the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\, and adherence to ethical guidelines that safeguard auditor independence and objectivity. \nImplementing effective internal quality control systems is paramount. These systems should be designed to monitor compliance with professional standards\, evaluate the effectiveness of audit methodologies\, and facilitate continuous improvement through feedback and corrective actions. Additionally\, external quality assessments serve as an essential tool for benchmarking practices against industry standards and pinpointing areas in need of improvement. \nIncorporating technology into audit processes can significantly enhance quality assurance. Tools such as data analytics\, automated workflows\, and electronic documentation systems streamline audit procedures\, reduce the risk of errors\, and provide real-time insights into audit quality metrics. Moreover\, fostering a culture of continuous learning and ethical vigilance ensures that auditors remain abreast of evolving standards and maintain the integrity of the audit process. \nConsidering this\, ICPAK has organized the 2 – day virtual symposium to address the following areas:\n1.

SUMMARY:ISAs Workshop 2025 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISAs Workshop 2025 (Mandatory Training) \nTheme: Enhancing Audit Quality and Public Trust through up-to-date ISAs\nDate: 10th – 11th September 2025\nVenue: Virtual\nThis is one of the Mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nIn today’s dynamic and convoluted financial reporting environment\, the need for high-quality audits is more pronounced than ever before. This is because high-quality audit is essential to secure the reliability of financial statements of an organization as well as in fostering trust with internal and external stakeholders and the public. The International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB)\, form the cornerstone of high-quality audit practices internationally. \nWith the profound complexity of business transactions and ever-increasing demands from the regulators\, policy makers\, investors\, and the public\, it is incumbent upon auditors today to consistently apply ISAs in executing their duties. This is important for them if they were to continue delivering not only robust but also credible assurance services to their clients in a highly competitive environment. The need for deeper understanding and application of ISAs has never been more critical in a globalized environment of today where convergence of audit practices is the norm rather than exception. \nIt is therefore\, imperative that auditing and assurance practitioners’ skill sets are continuously nurtured and developed to keep abreast with the fundamental changes and developments affecting ISAs and how these changes affect their engagements. It is against this background that the Institute has organized a two-day virtual training course designed to strengthen the practical knowledge and application of ISAs among audit practitioners\, regulators and public finance professionals. It will provide deep insights into key audit standards while highlighting recent development as well as exploring real -world challenges and solutions in the applications of ISAs. To guide the discussion during the Seminar\, the following topics of discussion will form the focus of this very important virtual event. \ni. Overview of ISA and IAASB framework: understanding the structure\, authority and application of the ISAs\nii. ISA 200 Series- General principles and responsibilities: focus on ISA 200\, 210\, 220 and 230. Audit ethics\, documentation and quality control\niii.

Audit managers and supervisors now find themselves at the center of this shift\, tasked with ensuring audit quality\, mentoring teams\, and upholding ethical and professional standards\, while also adapting to digital innovations and evolving business risks. \nThe integration of technology has brought greater efficiency and analytical power to the audit process\, yet it has also created new challenges. Sophisticated fraud schemes\, cyber risks\, and the complexities of auditing technology-enabled business models require supervisors to adopt stronger oversight practices. At the same time\, the new International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 & 2) emphasize accountability\, leadership\, and risk-based approaches\, underscoring the critical role of supervisors in ensuring consistent quality across engagements. \nBeyond technical competence\, effective supervision now demands strong leadership\, the ability to manage diverse teams\, and the skill to navigate difficult client relationships and regulatory expectations. Supervisors are expected to model professional skepticism\, integrate technology responsibly\, and foster a culture of integrity and continuous improvement within audit firms and institutions. \nTo equip professionals for these responsibilities\, ICPAK has designed a two-day virtual symposium tailored to audit managers and supervisors. The symposium will blend technical learning\, leadership development\, case-based analysis\, and practical strategies to help participants strengthen their supervisory capacity. The sessions will explore risk-based audit supervision\, the application of digital tools\, ethical and regulatory developments\, and best practices drawn from real-world scenarios. The goal is to empower participants with the tools\, insights\, and confidence to lead audit teams effectively\, enhance audit quality\, and contribute to institutional resilience in a dynamic environment. \nThe training is designed to cover the following topics: \n1: The Evolving Role of Audit Managers & Supervisors \n\nSupervisory responsibilities under ISAs and ISQM requirements.\nBalancing technical excellence with leadership responsibilities.\nBuilding a culture of audit quality and accountability.\n\n 2: Audit Quality and Risk-Based Audit Approaches \n\nEmbedding ISQM 1 & 2 into supervisory practice.\nEffective planning and risk assessment.\nTechniques for reviewing audit work to ensure accuracy and completeness.\n\n 3: Supervisory & Leadership Skills for Audit Managers \n\nDelegation\, coaching\, and motivating audit teams.\nConflict resolution and managing diverse teams.\nEffective communication with partners\, clients\, and audit staff.\n\nSession 4: Leveraging Technology in Audit Supervision \n\nRole of data analytics\, AI\, and audit software in modern audits.\nSupervisory responsibilities in technology-driven audits.\nChallenges and opportunities in digital transformation of audit.\n\n5: Ethics\, Professional Skepticism\, and Regulatory Updates \n\nManaging independence threats and ethical dilemmas.\nReinforcing professional skepticism at supervisory level.\nUpdates from regulators\, ICPAK\, and international bodies.\n\n 6: Practical Case Studies & Best Practices \n\nReal-world supervisory challenges in audit.\nLessons learned from engagement reviews and regulatory inspections.\nPanel discussion and peer exchange on supervisory excellence.\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 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:Sustainability Reporting Course (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Course\nTheme: Empowering Accountants for Sustainable Impact: Mastering IFRS S1 & S2\nDate: 2nd – 3rd October 2025\nTime: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\nHybrid Event: CPA Centre\, Nairobi & Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nGlobally\, sustainability reporting continues to gain momentum as stakeholders demand greater accountability on environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) matters. Businesses are now expected to disclose not only financial performance but also the impact of their operations on the planet and society. In response to this shift\, international standards IFRS S1 and S2 have been developed to offer a consistent and comparable framework for sustainability disclosures. The adoption of newly developed sustainability standards is not merely an organizational development initiative; it is critical for fostering a resilient economy at large\, impacting both private businesses and the public sector. \nAt the same time\, the accounting profession is facing new ethical challenges. Greenwashing\, greenhushing\, and conflicts of interest have emerged as major concerns in the sustainability space\, leading to misinformation and a loss of stakeholder trust. To address this\, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) introduced new ethics and independence standards under the IESSA (International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance) framework. These standards aim to guide professional accountants and assurance providers in maintaining integrity\, transparency\, and public interest when dealing with sustainability-related engagements. \nLocally\, feedback from the FiRe Award—East Africa’s most prestigious financial reporting excellence recognition award— has shown that while many organizations are making progress in sustainability reporting\, there are still significant gaps. These include weak board involvement\, inconsistent data presentation\, and poor linkage between strategy and reported outcomes. This workshop responds to those gaps by equipping personnel with practical skills\, real-world scenarios\, and ethical frameworks for quality sustainability reporting. \nThe sessions will offer targeted insights into sustainability reporting for various entities\, acknowledging that different entities require tailored approaches. \nThe workshop is designed to be interactive\, insightful\, and practical\, enabling participants to not only understand the evolving sustainability landscape but also take the lead in shaping it within their roles. \n LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Introduction to IFRS S1 & S2\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Objective of IFRS S1 & S2 \n·         Introduction to the Core content pillars \n·         Relationship with Other Standards \n \n\n\nB.   General requirements \n·         General requirements \n  \no   Sources of Guidance \no   Location of Disclosures \no   Timing of reporting \no   Comparative information \no   Statement of Compliance \no   Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \no   Best practices in data collection \no   Building capacity within the organization \no   Transition Reliefs \n \n\n\nC.   Core Content: Governance\n·         The Role of Governance Disclosures in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Foundational Concepts \n·         Governance Disclosures under IFRS S1: \n  \no   Deep Dive: Board-Level Governance \no   Deep Dive: Management’s Role \n  \n·         Sample governance disclosure formats\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 2\nD.   Core Content: Risk Management\n·         Required Disclosures \n·         Risk Identification and Assessment \n·         Risk Mitigation and Control \n·         Link to Strategy and Metrics \n·         Walkthrough of a risk disclosure template\n\n\nE.     Core Content: Strategy\n·         The Role of Strategy in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Positioning strategy as the bridge between governance and risk \n·         Scope of Strategic Disclosures \n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Practical Tools and Disclosure Techniques \n \n\n\nF.   Core Content: Metrics and Targets\n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions \n·         Cross-Industry Metrics \n·         Industry-Based Metrics \n·         Climate-Related Targets\n\n\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. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover course 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.

SUMMARY:ISA for Less Complex Entities Course-virtual option
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISA for Less Complex Entities Course -physical option\nTheme: Adopting ISA for Less Complex Entities: Simplifying the Audit Process\nDate: 23rd -24th October 2025\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOverview \nThe International Standards on Auditing (ISA) prescribe the principles and practices\, which auditors are expected to follow in the conduct of Audit. They provide minimum guidance to the Auditor that helps determine the extent of auditing steps and procedures that should be applied in the audit and constitute the criteria or yardstick against which the quality of audit results are evaluated. Conducting audits in accordance with standards gives necessary assurance to people making use of the financial statements and audit reports. \nLarge complex organizations typically require a more in-depth application of these full ISAs given their scope of business and applicability. However\, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs. \nThe introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits. \nThis course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs).

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) Cohort 1
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar cohort 1\nDate: 24th November   2025\nTime: 02.00pm-04.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1\, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000\, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms\, including tone at the top\, staff sensitization\, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies. \nBy the end of the webinar\, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently\, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity\, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n• Overview of the IESBA Code\n• The Conceptual Framework\n• Independence in Assurance Engagements\n• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice\n• Emerging Ethics Issues\n• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms \nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Meetings Etiquette and Effective Delegation Webinar

Meetings serve as essential platforms for communication\, collaboration\, and strategic alignment. However\, poorly managed meetings often lead to wasted time\, unclear outcomes\, and reduced team morale. By observing proper meeting etiquette\, professionals can ensure that meetings are purposeful\, inclusive\, and productive. \nMeeting etiquette includes practices such as setting clear agendas\, starting and ending on time\, active listening\, minimizing interruptions\, respectful dialogue\, and following through on action items. These standards create an environment where participants feel valued\, discussions stay focused\, and decisions are made efficiently. In virtual or hybrid settings\, etiquette becomes even more important to maintain professionalism and engagement. \nComplementing meeting etiquette is the ability to delegate tasks effectively\, a key leadership function that empowers teams and drives productivity. Effective delegation involves identifying suitable tasks to assign\, choosing the right individuals based on competencies\, communicating expectations clearly\, and providing support and feedback. It enables leaders to focus on strategic priorities\, while building capacity and accountability within their teams. \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) invites you to this virtual webinar as it aims to enhance participants’ professional communication\, organizational leadership\, and team management capabilities.

SUMMARY:INPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)\nTheme- Strengthening Financial Reporting for Transparency\, Accountability & Donor Confidence\n22nd – 23rd January 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue – CPA Centre \nOverview \n Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) occupy a unique space in society\, delivering social impact and advancing development goals across sectors. Their operations rely heavily on funding from donors\, grants\, and other resources that require careful stewardship. Accurate\, comprehensive\, and transparent financial reporting is central to sustaining stakeholder confidence\, demonstrating accountability\, and ensuring compliance with statutory and donor requirements. However\, NPOs often face challenges in financial reporting due to multiple funding sources\, restricted and unrestricted funds\, donor-specific requirements\, and sector-specific accounting standards. \nThe International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents one of the most significant modern developments in global financial reporting for the not-for-profit sector. As NPOs continue to play critical roles in advancing social\, economic and human-development agendas\, the need for consistent\, comparable\, transparent and decision-useful reporting has become more urgent. INPAS is intended to provide a globally coherent framework that enables non-profits to communicate performance\, stewardship\, accountability and impact using standardized accounting and disclosure principles. Its introduction seeks to resolve long-standing inconsistencies\, especially where NPOs rely on improvised internal policies or apply for-profit standards that do not appropriately reflect mission-centric activities\, donor restrictions\, program delivery dynamics and resource deployment structures. \nINPAS is not only a harmonization exercise; it provides clarity in key reporting areas such as recognition of resource inflows\, the accounting treatment of donor-imposed conditions\, attribution of expenditure to program portfolios\, measurement of performance\, narrative reporting and fund accountability. Unlike general-purpose accounting standards that were not written for the non-profit domain\, INPAS responds directly to unique sector characteristics such as restricted funding\, grant commitments\, volunteer contributions\, social-value outcomes and multi-stakeholder assurance needs. Non-profit reporting is therefore expected to transition away from inconsistent classification practices\, unverifiable impact statements and fragmented accounting treatments that currently limit comparability and weaken sector confidence. \nGlobal conversations around impact measurement\, trust restoration\, funding transparency\, donor confidence and public accountability continue to intensify. Development partners\, auditors\, regulators\, philanthropies and funding institutions are increasingly demanding standard-consistent reporting that demonstrates responsible resource use\, clear alignment between programs and expenditure\, and enhanced traceability of outcomes. INPAS responds to this shift by aligning reporting with global accountability expectations\, improving comparability\, elevating the quality of disclosures and strengthening intelligence for resource allocation decisions. \nWith rising societal expectations\, governance reforms\, anti-corruption agendas and ESG-linked donor priorities\, non-profit reporting can no longer be confined to traditional financial statements. The sector’s trust proposition depends on visibility into how funds translate into services and how actions generate real change. INPAS will therefore influence how NPOs record\, classify\, measure\, present and narrate the way value is created and delivered. This transition\, from narrow financial reporting to integrated program-performance reporting\, is highly strategic: reporting becomes a driver of confidence\, not merely a compliance exercise. \nIt is in response to this evolving context\, and ahead of INPAS implementation\, that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is convening this training to equip preparers\, reviewers and professionals with practical skills\, contextual understanding and transition readiness\, so that by the time formal adoption arrives\, the sector will be informed\, empowered and aligned for confident implementation. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics: \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics:\n1.

SUMMARY:Personal Branding and Leadership Webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPersonal Branding and Leadership Webinar\nDate: 27th January 2026\nTime: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nPersonal branding is the intentional process of shaping how others perceive you\, both professionally and personally. It goes beyond a polished resume or social media profile; it encompasses your values\, expertise\, communication style\, and the consistent narrative you project in every interaction. In today’s interconnected world\, where reputations can be built or dismantled rapidly online\, a strong personal brand acts as a compass\, guiding decisions and attracting opportunities aligned with your authentic self. For leaders\, personal branding is not about self-promotion alone but about establishing trust and credibility that inspires others to follow. \nEffective leadership and personal branding are deeply intertwined. A leader’s brand reflects their vision\, integrity\, and ability to deliver results\, serving as a signal to teams\, stakeholders\, and peers. When leaders articulate a clear personal brand—such as being innovative\, empathetic\, or decisive—they create a framework that others can understand and rally behind. This clarity reduces ambiguity in decision-making and fosters alignment within organizations. Without a deliberate brand\, leaders risk being defined by others’ assumptions\, which may not accurately represent their strengths or intentions. \nAuthenticity is the cornerstone of sustainable personal branding in leadership. Audiences quickly detect inauthenticity\, leading to eroded trust. Great leaders build their brands around genuine strengths and values rather than fabricating an idealized image. For instance\, vulnerability in admitting mistakes or sharing personal growth stories can humanize a leader\, making them more relatable and approachable. This authentic approach not only strengthens the leader’s brand but also models behaviour that encourages openness and resilience in their teams. \nConsistency amplifies the impact of a personal brand. Leaders must ensure their actions\, words\, and online presence align across contexts—whether in boardrooms\, public speeches\, or casual conversations. Inconsistencies\, such as preaching collaboration while hoarding information\, undermine credibility faster than any external criticism. Over time\, consistent reinforcement of core messages—through storytelling\, visual identity\, and repeated behaviours—solidifies the brand in others’ minds\, turning perception into a reliable asset. \nPersonal branding also empowers leaders to navigate challenges and transitions. In times of crisis\, a well-established brand built on transparency and competence provides a buffer of goodwill. Similarly\, when pursuing new roles or expanding influence\, a strong brand precedes the leader\, opening doors through referrals and recognition. Leaders who invest in their brand proactively position themselves as thought leaders\, attracting talent\, partnerships\, and opportunities that align with their goals. \nUltimately\, personal branding in leadership is a strategic tool for amplifying impact. It transforms individual reputation into a force that elevates teams\, organizations\, and industries. By thoughtfully crafting and maintaining their brand\, leaders not only advance their own careers but also inspire others to develop their unique voices. In an era where influence often stems from perception as much as performance\, mastering personal branding remains a critical leadership competency. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on how to build your strong personal brand in a leadership space. \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals from different spheres \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). The Institute’s registration number is DIT/TRN/47. Participants who are registered levy contributors should apply to NITA for reimbursement of their fees.
