International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop -Mandatory Training
2026-05-06 09:00 - 2026-08-31 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
International Taxes & Transfer Pricing Workshop
Date: 6th – 7th May 2026
Time: 9.00-4.00PM
Mode Of Delivery: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration)
Overview
The world business environment has continued to change in ways that blur borders and extend the reach of enterprises beyond domestic jurisdictions. As cross-border transactions have become more routine, the tax complexities associated with such activities have mounted and the level of scrutiny applied to them has intensified. Compliance regimes are being clamped down globally, multinational groups rethink operating models, and professional accountants are expected to show deeper competence in international taxation regimes and transfer pricing principles. In this setting, practitioners serving clients with either regional or global footprints must therefore balance strategic tax planning with strict adherence to the law.
This workshop aims to provide a reflective yet practical look into international taxation and transfer pricing, focusing on the realities faced by Kenyan entities involved in cross-border arrangements. It combines issues of current concern, regulator expectations, and technical guidance that practitioners need to internalize in meeting their competency obligations. Participants will have a greater insight into how the multinational groups structure their operations, how the tax authorities construe such arrangements, and how accountants can assist in complying without unduly compromising sound commercial decisions.
With the increased attention that the OECD, the African Tax Administration Forum, and KRA are giving to the fair taxation of multinational operations, this workshop will demystify selected technical concepts using case studies and regulatory updates. This is also an avenue through which practitioners can reflect on how domestic tax rules interact with evolving international standards, particularly with respect to transfer pricing documentation, resolution of disputes, and management of tax risks. Each session is structured in a way that enhances both theoretical and practical insights to ensure that participants leave the sessions with information they can apply directly in client advisory, audits, and organization tax planning.
In the end, the program reinforces ICPAK’s commitment to enhancing the professional competence of its members, especially those studying for or maintaining a Practicing Certificate. The workshop deepens appreciation of various international tax dynamics and transfer pricing obligations, thus enabling practitioners to contribute towards ensuring that the profession upholds integrity and, by extension, supports transparent, equitable tax practices in an increasingly interdependent economy.

Sustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)
2026-06-17 09:00 - 2026-08-30 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)
Date: 17th – 18th June 2026
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
As 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.
The 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.
Climate-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.
High-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.
The workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following:
Overview of Sustainability Assurance

The purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.
The role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.
How sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.
Key drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance

Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks

Global frameworks: GRI, SASB, ISSB, IFRS S1 & S2.
Local sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.
Alignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.
Emerging disclosure requirements for climate, social, and governance metrics.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting

Understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
Relevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.
GHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).
Transition risks, climate scenarios, and their impact on disclosures.

Sustainability Assurance Engagements

Unpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000
Types of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.
Key procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.
Independence, ethical requirements, and assurance provider qualifications.
Common challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.

Data Collection, Verification, and Reporting

Best practices for ESG data collection and quality control.
Verification techniques and third-party assurance.
Data governance, documentation, and internal record-keeping standards.
Use of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.

ESG Risk Management and Internal Controls

Integrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.
Ensuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.
Designing internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.
Monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.

Target Audience:
This 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.
Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units):
Members of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session.

(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Assurance-ISSA 5000 Webinar
Date: 18th August 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
The increasing demand for high-quality sustainability-related information has elevated the importance of assurance in building trust and confidence among investors, regulators, and other stakeholders. As organizations continue to enhance their sustainability reporting in response to global reporting requirements, there is a growing need for assurance practitioners and reporting professionals to understand the principles, requirements, and application of sustainability assurance engagements.
To address this need, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issued the International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000, General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements, which establishes a comprehensive global baseline for sustainability assurance. ISSA 5000 responds to the rapidly evolving sustainability reporting landscape, including the adoption of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, regional sustainability disclosure requirements, and stakeholder expectations for credible and decision-useful sustainability information.
As sustainability assurance becomes increasingly relevant to organizations across sectors, practitioners must understand how ISSA 5000 addresses unique sustainability assurance considerations, including materiality assessments, value chain information, estimation uncertainty, forward-looking information, and the use of experts.
This webinar will provide participants with insights into the application of ISSA 5000 and its implications for assurance practitioners, preparers, regulators, and other stakeholders involved in sustainability reporting and assurance.
Topical areas;

Understanding Sustainability Assurance Engagements
Planning and Performing Sustainability Assurance Engagements
Evidence Gathering and Documentation

Date: 19th-20th August 2026
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
In today’s fast-paced and complex professional environment, the risk of fraud, financial misstatement, and governance failures has escalated across both public and private sectors. Organizations face operational, financial, and compliance challenges daily, and even minor lapses in controls or ethical judgment can compromise organizational integrity, reputation, and stakeholder trust. For accounting, audit, finance, and risk professionals, proficiency in forensic accounting, fraud detection, and internal control frameworks is critical to ensuring organizational resilience.
Forensic insights and robust internal controls are no longer merely compliance tools—they are strategic enablers that help professionals detect irregularities, prevent misconduct, and maintain operational and financial accuracy. Professionals equipped with these skills can identify vulnerabilities in processes, monitor critical systems, and recommend interventions that strengthen governance structures. Modern digital technologies, including data analytics, AI-powered tools, and continuous monitoring platforms, have enhanced the ability to detect anomalies, investigate suspicious transactions, and prevent fraud before it escalates.
A strong understanding of internal controls and forensic methodologies also promotes ethical decision-making and accountability. Professionals learn to navigate complex operational and financial landscapes, maintain transparency, and foster cultures that resist fraud and unethical behavior. Applied skills in transaction monitoring, audit trails, risk assessment, whistleblower frameworks, and investigative techniques ensure participants can contribute to an environment of trust, resilience, and accountability.
This two-day workshop blends practical exercises, case studies, and interactive discussions to provide participants with hands-on experience in forensic accounting, fraud detection, and internal controls. Delegates will explore real-world scenarios, practice investigative and risk assessment techniques, and discuss strategies for enhancing organizational integrity. The workshop also emphasizes collaboration, ethical judgment, and the application of technology in safeguarding financial and operational systems.
It is in recognition of the critical role of forensic accounting, fraud awareness, and internal controls in professional practice that the Institute has organized this workshop.

IFRS, IPSAS & understanding of carbon credits - Eastern Branch
2026-08-20 09:00 - 2026-08-21 15:30 | Kitui, TBC
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS, IPSAS & Understanding of Carbon Credits – Eastern Branch
Theme: Strengthening Financial Reporting Through Emerging IFRS, IPSAS & Carbon Credit Reporting
Date: 20th -21st August 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30
Venue: Kitui, TBC
Overview
The financial reporting landscape continues to evolve in response to changing business models, increasing stakeholders’ expectations, sustainability imperatives and regulatory requirements. Today, organizations are increasingly required to provide transparent, reliable and decision-useful financial and sustainability information to meet the needs of investors, creditors, lenders and other stakeholders.
Consequently, IFRSs continue to undergo important developments, significantly affecting financial statement preparation, particularly in the private sector. Similarly, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) remain central to strengthening public financial management by enhancing transparency, accountability and comparability in public sector financial reporting.
At the same time, the transition towards low-carbon economies has elevated carbon markets and carbon credits from niche environmental concepts to strategic financial and sustainability considerations. Governments, regulators, investors and organizations increasingly recognize carbon credits as an important mechanism for climate action, emissions reduction and sustainable finance. As organizations participate in voluntary and compliance carbon markets, finance professionals are expected to understand the accounting, reporting, governance and commercial implications of carbon credit transactions.
These developments have expanded the role of professional accountants beyond traditional financial reporting to include sustainability reporting, climate-related financial disclosures and strategic advisory services.
The proposed two-day training workshop is designed to equip professional accountants with up-to-date knowledge and practical insights into the latest developments in IFRS and IPSAS, including new standards, amendments and emerging issues affecting financial reporting. In addition, the workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of carbon credit accounting and reporting. This will enable them to understand the growing intersection between financial reporting, sustainability, and climate-related disclosures.
The following are topics to be discussed during the training:

Recent developments in IFRSs
An update on new and amended IFRS and their practical implications for financial reporting.
Key selected IFRSs
Practical guidance on the application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 18, including leading practices for compliance and common challenges.
Recent developments in IPSASs
An overview of new and revised IPSAS standards and their impact on public sector financial reporting and accountability.
Key selected IPSASs
Discussion of common implementation challenges, lessons learned, and strategies for improving financial reporting quality in the public sector.
Introduction to Carbon credits
An introduction to carbon markets, carbon credits, and their role in climate change mitigation and sustainable development.
Carbon credits accounting & reporting An overview of the emerging accounting, measurement, reporting, and disclosure considerations relating to carbon credit transactions.

Theme: Driving Sustainable Public Value through High-Quality Reporting
Date: 24th – 28th August 2026
Venue: Enashipai Resort & Spa, Naivasha
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The role of public sector financial reporting continues to evolve beyond traditional stewardship and compliance objectives. Governments and public sector entities are increasingly expected to demonstrate how public resources are managed to create sustainable public value, strengthen fiscal resilience, enhance service delivery, and respond to emerging economic, social, and environmental challenges.
Against this backdrop, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) continue to play a critical role in promoting transparency, accountability, and comparability in public sector financial reporting. At the same time, new developments in sustainability reporting, climate-related financial disclosures, natural resource accounting, government finance statistics, public sector digital transformation, and public financial management reforms are reshaping the reporting landscape globally.
In Kenya, the implementation of IPSAS Accrual remains a strategic national priority under the Constitution, the Public Finance Management Act, and broader public sector reform initiatives. As public sector institutions seek to strengthen accountability and improve decision-making, there is an increasing need for finance professionals to understand not only the technical requirements of IPSAS but also how financial reporting supports public value creation, fiscal sustainability, and stakeholder trust.
Recognizing these developments, this Masterclass aims to provide participants with deep technical and strategic insights into emerging IPSAS developments, sustainability-related reporting, public sector reforms, and implementation challenges. The Masterclass will bring together accountants, auditors, regulators, policymakers, public finance practitioners, and development partners to share experiences, discuss emerging issues, and explore practical solutions to contemporary public sector reporting challenges.

Effective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar
2026-09-01 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Effective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar
Date: 1st September 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
Organizations today operate in an environment where accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership are increasingly demanded by regulators, investors, employees, and the public. As fraud, corruption, harassment, and other forms of misconduct continue to threaten institutional credibility and sustainability, whistleblowing has emerged as a critical governance tool for early detection and timely intervention. However, the effectiveness of whistleblowing largely depends on whether organizations have well-designed frameworks that encourage reporting and ensure that concerns are handled professionally and fairly.
A strong whistleblowing policy provides a structured foundation for reporting unethical practices and misconduct while defining clear responsibilities for management, audit committees, compliance officers and internal audit functions. It establishes the scope of reportable issues, sets out reporting procedures and creates accountability mechanisms that ensure disclosures are treated seriously. Without such a policy, organizations risk inconsistent handling of cases, loss of trust, and increased exposure to reputational and financial damage.
For whistleblowing systems to work, organizations must provide secure reporting channels and guarantee confidentiality to protect whistleblowers from exposure. Equally important is the establishment of safeguards against retaliation, as fear of victimization remains one of the biggest barriers to reporting. By reinforcing protection measures and ensuring impartial investigations and proper case handling procedures, institutions strengthen internal control systems and create confidence that wrongdoing will be addressed without bias or intimidation.
Delegates will gain a comprehensive understanding of employer responsibilities, the protections available to whistleblowers, and the essential steps required to strengthen whistleblowing and speak-up policies. Participants will be equipped with practical insights on designing secure reporting frameworks, ensuring confidentiality safeguards, managing retaliation risks, and enhancing investigation and case-handling procedures to build a credible and effective whistleblowing system.

Transition to IPSAS Accrual course
2026-09-03 09:00 - 2026-09-04 15:30 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Transition to IPSAS Accrual course
Theme: Transition to IPSAS Accrual: Practical Guidance for Successful Implementation
Date: 3rd -4th September 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Venue: CPA Centre
Overview
Across the globe, governments are increasingly transitioning from cash-based and modified cash accounting frameworks to accrual-based financial reporting aligned with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This shift is widely recognized as a cornerstone of modern public financial management (PFM) reform, enabling governments to produce more transparent, comprehensive, and decision-useful financial information.
In Kenya and many other jurisdictions, the transition to IPSAS Accrual represents a major transformation in the way public sector entities recognize, measure, and report financial transactions. Under the accrual framework, entities must record not only cash movements but also assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and commitments, thereby providing a more complete picture of financial performance and financial position.
However, transitioning to IPSAS Accrual is a complex institutional reform that goes far beyond technical accounting changes. It requires significant adjustments in policies, systems, processes, data management, asset registers, staff capacity, and governance frameworks. Public sector entities must undertake detailed preparatory work, including identifying assets and liabilities, developing opening balances, aligning financial management systems such as IFMIS, and strengthening internal controls and documentation practices.
International experience demonstrates that entities often encounter significant challenges during the transition phase. These may include:

Difficulties in compiling reliable opening balances
Limited asset registers and incomplete asset verification
Lack of historical valuation data
Weak integration between accounting policies and operational processes
Limited familiarity with key IPSAS standards such as PPE, revenue from non-exchange transactions, provisions, leases, and financial instruments
System limitations in capturing accrual-based transactions
Capacity gaps among preparers and financial managers

Without adequate preparation, these challenges can result in delays, inconsistencies, and significant audit issues during the first accrual reporting cycle.
This workshop is therefore designed as a practical capacity-building program to support entities preparing for the transition to IPSAS Accrual. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical aspects of IPSAS, the training emphasizes practical implementation strategies, transition planning, opening balance preparation, and system readiness.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of:

The IPSAS Accrual transition roadmap
Key technical standards affecting transition
Practical steps for preparing opening balances
Asset identification and valuation processes
System and data requirements for accrual reporting
Institutional arrangements needed to support successful implementation

By the end of the training, participants will be better equipped to plan, manage, and execute the transition to IPSAS Accrual, thereby strengthening the credibility, transparency, and usefulness of public sector financial reporting.

THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION 2 (MANDATORY TRAINING) physical option

INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION 2 (MANDATORY TRAINING)
Theme: “Enhancing Transparency, Sustainability, and Accountability through High Quality Financial Reporting
Date: 7th -11th September 2026
Venue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino Thika Road, Nairobi
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
Financial reporting remains a critical pillar for transparency, accountability, governance, and informed decision making within organizations, capital markets, and the broader economy. High quality financial reporting enhances stakeholder confidence, supports effective stewardship of resources, strengthens investor trust, and promotes sound organizational and economic decision making. As the business and regulatory environment continues to evolve, the demand for reliable, relevant, and decision-making useful financial information has become increasingly important.
Recent developments in financial reporting, including new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) such as IFRS 18, together with the growing adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2), are reshaping the reporting landscape globally. In addition, increasing stakeholder expectations around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures continue to expand the scope of corporate reporting beyond traditional financial statements.
At the same time, technological advancements in automation, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and digital reporting tools are transforming how financial information is prepared, analyzed, presented, and communicated. These developments require finance professionals to continuously strengthen their technical competence, exercise sound professional judgment, and embrace innovative approaches to reporting and disclosure.
Despite notable progress in reporting practices, organizations continue to experience challenges in the application of key reporting standards and disclosure requirements, particularly in areas such as revenue recognition, financial instruments, leases, consolidation, taxation, employee benefits, and sustainability related reporting. Insights from regulatory reviews and the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards 2025 continue to highlight both significant improvements and recurring gaps in compliance, disclosure quality, transparency, consistency, and application of standards.
The evolving role of accountants and finance professionals now extends beyond compliance focused reporting to include broader responsibilities in governance, sustainability reporting, business reporting, performance analysis, stakeholder communication, and strategic decision support. This transformation requires professionals to remain responsive to emerging reporting developments while maintaining integrity, accountability, and public trust.
In response to these evolving demands, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Annual Financial Reporting Conference to provide a comprehensive platform for finance professionals to strengthen technical expertise, gain practical insights into emerging reporting developments, and enhance the quality and integrity of financial reporting practices.
The conference will bring together standard setters, regulators, industry experts, preparers of financial statements, auditors, and finance practitioners to facilitate technical learning, peer engagement, practical discussions, and knowledge sharing aimed at advancing transparency, sustainability, accountability, and best practice in financial reporting.

THE 13TH CSUITE SEMINAR 2026
2026-09-07 09:00 - 2026-09-11 15:30 | Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus, Turkey
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE 13TH C-SUITE SEMINAR
Theme: Tenets of Effective C- Suite Leadership for Enhanced Organizational Value
Date: 7th – 11th September 2026
Venue: Hilton Istanbul Bosphorous
Time: 09.00AM-03.30PM
OVERVIEW
Effective C-suite leadership in the modern age demands a profound blend of strategic vision and operational agility. Today’s executives operate in an environment defined by rapid technological disruption, geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting stakeholder expectations. Unlike previous eras where hierarchical control and quarterly results dominated, contemporary C-suite leaders must act as orchestrators of complex ecosystems. They balance short-term performance pressures with long-term resilience, leveraging data analytics while maintaining human-centered decision-making. Success hinges on their ability to anticipate market shifts, foster innovation across the organization, and build trust in an era where transparency is non-negotiable.
Technological fluency stands as a cornerstone of modern C-suite effectiveness. Leaders must not only understand emerging tools like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cybersecurity but actively champion their ethical integration. The best executives cultivate digital-first cultures where experimentation is encouraged, and failure is viewed as a learning opportunity. They partner closely with heads of ICT to drive transformation rather than merely overseeing it. This requires moving beyond delegation to personal involvement in digital strategy, ensuring the organization remains competitive in an economy where business models can be upended overnight by nimble startups or global tech giants.
Inclusive leadership and cultural stewardship have become essential differentiators. Modern C-suite executives recognize that diverse teams outperform homogeneous ones in creativity and problem-solving. They prioritize psychological safety, equity, and belonging to attract and retain top talent in a competitive global labour market. Effective leaders invest in employee development, champion work-life integration, and model vulnerability. They understand that company culture is no longer a soft issue but a hard driver of performance, innovation, and brand reputation, especially as younger generations demand purpose-driven workplaces.
Ethical decision-making and sustainability leadership define credibility in today’s interconnected world. C-suite executives face scrutiny from investors, regulators, employees, and consumers who expect responsible governance on issues ranging from climate impact to data privacy. Forward-thinking leaders embed ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles into core strategy rather than treating them as compliance exercises. They navigate complex trade-offs with integrity, building stakeholder capitalism that delivers value beyond shareholders. This approach mitigates risks while unlocking new opportunities in the green economy and socially conscious markets.
Finally, personal resilience and lifelong learning separate truly exceptional C-suite leaders from the rest. The modern role is relentless, with constant connectivity and high-stakes visibility. Effective executives prioritize their own well-being through deliberate habits, seek diverse perspectives through mentorship and advisory networks, and remain intellectually curious. They adapt their leadership style to generational differences and hybrid work realities while staying grounded in core values. In an age of uncertainty, those who continuously evolve their own capabilities while inspiring others to do the same create organizations that don’t just survive disruption but thrive through it.
It is with this in mind that ICPAK has organized the 13th C – Suite Seminar, a weeklong of learning, networking with industry peers and sharing ideas. Themed Tenets of Effective C- Suite Leadership for Enhanced Organizational Value the seminar will bring together senior corporate and public sector executives and upcoming leaders for a forthright discussion on matters touching on effective executive leadership. The seminar discussions will focus on:

Strategic Leadership in an Era of Uncertainty
Building Financial Acumen and Shareholder Value Creation
Talent Optimization and Creating High-Performance Culture
Corporate Governance, Ethics, and Board Dynamics
Sustainability, ESG, and Responsible Leadership
Crisis Leadership and Organizational Resilience
Customer-Centric Strategy and Experience Leadership

IFRS 16-Leases Webinar
2026-09-08 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS 16-Leases Webinar
Date: 8th September 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
The adoption of IFRS 16: Leases is one of the most significant changes in financial reporting in recent years. This has fundamentally transformed the accounting treatment of lease transactions. The standard adopted a unified lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize leases in the statement of financial position by establishing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability.
Despite IFRS 16 having been effective for several years, financial statement reviews continue to reveal inconsistencies in lease identification, measurement, reassessment, and disclosure practices. Additionally, evolving business models, economic uncertainties, and complex contractual arrangements continue to create new challenges for preparers and auditors of financial statements.
Professional accountants in practice play a critical role in supporting organizations to achieve compliance with IFRS 16 through the preparation, review, audit, and interpretation of financial statements. As businesses continue to adopt increasingly complex leasing arrangements, there is a growing need for accountants to strengthen their understanding of the practical application of IFRS 16 and emerging implementation issues.
The webinar seeks to bridge knowledge gaps and equip professional accountants with practical skills necessary to apply IFRS 16 effectively while enhancing compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

Apply the key recognition and measurement principles of IFRS 16.
Identify contracts that contain leases.
Calculate and account for lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.
Account for lease modifications and reassessments.
Evaluate disclosure requirements under IFRS 16.
Identify and address common compliance challenges in lease accounting.
Improve the quality and consistency of financial reporting relating to leases.

Target Audience
This training is primarily intended for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals, though not limited to accountancy practitioners; staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend.

ISAs Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)
2026-09-09 09:00 - 2026-09-10 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ISAs Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)
Theme: Enhancing Audit Quality Through Compliance with ISAs
Date: 9th – 10th September 2025
Venue: Virtual
This is one of the Mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration
Overview
The global financial reporting environment is rapidly evolving, placing increased emphasis on transparency, accountability, and compliance. International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), provides a globally recognized framework that promotes the quality, consistency, and credibility of audit engagements. As stakeholders place greater reliance on audited financial statements, the role of auditors in enhancing confidence in financial reporting and supporting informed decision-making has become increasingly important.
The audit profession continues to evolve in response to an increasingly complex business environment characterized by rapid technological advancements, economic uncertainty, changing regulatory expectations and heightened stakeholder demands. As organizations navigate these challenges, auditors are expected to exercise greater professional skepticism, apply sound professional judgment, and respond effectively to emerging risks while maintaining compliance with auditing standards.
The growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), data analytics, and other digital technologies is transforming the audit landscape, creating new opportunities for improving audit effectiveness while also introducing additional risks and considerations. At the same time, increased focus on fraud prevention, business resilience, accounting estimates, going concern assessments and quality management has heightened expectations of auditors and audit firms.
This virtual workshop will provide participants with practical insights into key areas shaping the profession today, including risk assessment, fraud risk management, technology-enabled auditing, auditing accounting estimates and going concern assessments, audit evidence and documentation, audit reporting, quality management, and emerging trends influencing the future of auditing. Through technical presentations, practical case studies, and interactive discussions, participants will enhance their understanding of ISAs and strengthen their ability to deliver high-quality audit engagements.

THE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)
2026-09-14 09:00 - 2026-09-18 15:30 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort and Spa, Mombasa, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)
Theme: Tax Practice in a High-Enforcement Era: Defensibility, Data, and Accountability
DATE: 14TH – 18TH SEPTEMBER 2026
VENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA MOMBASA
TIME: 09.00AM – 03.30PM
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
Tax practice has entered a decisive enforcement phase in which understanding tax law is no longer sufficient on its own. Across the globe, revenue authorities are shifting from compliance-oriented engagement to assertive, technology-enabled enforcement models that emphasize data interrogation, real-time reporting, and retrospective scrutiny of tax positions. The implementation stage of global reforms, particularly under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework and BEPS Pillar II, has intensified audit activity and increased exposure to penalties, adjustments, and reputational risk for both taxpayers and their advisors.
In Kenya, this shift is increasingly evident. Successive Finance Acts, the expansion of electronic invoicing through eTIMS, enhanced third-party data integration, and a more aggressive audit posture by the Kenya Revenue Authority have fundamentally changed how compliance is assessed and enforced. Tax audits are now faster, more data-driven, and less reliant on negotiated outcomes. County governments, facing growing fiscal pressure, are also strengthening own-source revenue enforcement, introducing an additional layer of compliance and dispute risk for businesses and professionals alike.
As enforcement intensity rises, the role of the tax professional is being redefined. Practitioners are now expected to design and defend tax positions capable of withstanding deep forensic scrutiny, manage electronic evidence trails, respond to simultaneous national and county audits, and guide clients through complex dispute and litigation processes. At the same time, heightened enforcement has amplified ethical pressure, professional liability exposure, and reputational risk, particularly where aggressive tax planning, documentation weaknesses, or governance failures are involved.
Against this backdrop, the 14th Annual Tax Convention is deliberately positioned as an advanced, practice-oriented forum focused on enforcement realities rather than policy theory. The Convention will examine how tax laws are applied in practice, how audits are conducted, how disputes unfold, and how professionals can protect both their clients and themselves in an increasingly unforgiving regulatory environment. Through technical sessions, real-world case analysis, and regulatory perspectives, participants will gain practical insights into audit readiness, defensibility, dispute management, and ethical decision-making under pressure.
Key Coverage Areas of the 14th Tax Convention
The 14th Annual Tax Convention will delve into the following topical areas among others
Theme 1: Tax Enforcement in a Data-Driven Era

The New Face of Tax Audits: Data Analytics, Automation, and Real-Time Enforcement
Managing Audit Risk in an Aggressive Revenue Collection Environment

Theme 2: Defensibility, Evidence, and Audit Readiness

Building Defensible Tax Positions: Documentation, Professional Judgement, and Risk Assessment

Electronic Evidence, eTIMS Data, and Transaction Reconstruction in Tax Audits

Theme 3: Advanced International Tax and Transfer Pricing

Theme 4: Disputes, Litigation, and Multi-Level Tax Risk

Managing Tax Disputes from Assessment to Appeal: Practical Strategies
County Own-Source Revenue Enforcement: Legal Risk, Compliance, and Litigation

Theme 5: Accountability, Ethics, and Professional Survival

Ethics and Independence Under Pressure: Managing Client Expectations and Regulatory Scrutiny

Professional Liability, Sanctions, and Reputational Risk in Tax Practice

Overview
As expectations from stakeholders continue to increase, new regulations, technology, and business risks continue shaping the auditing profession. It is, therefore, the responsibility of audit managers and supervisors to ensure that audits are planned, performed, and supervised according to both professional standards and regulations.
With recent developments in financial reporting, quality management, sustainability reporting, data analytics, and corporate governance, audit engagements have become increasingly complicated.

The seminar will offer a forum where the participants can discuss recent trends in audit practice, share their experience, and find ways to cope with emerging risks and quality issues.
Delegates will learn about the application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA), International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM), ethical considerations, regulatory requirements, and best practices in supervision of audit engagements in the ever-changing business world.
Objectives
The aim of the seminar is to:

Develop knowledge about developments in audit and assurance standards.
Develop audit quality management and engagement supervision skills.
Ensure professional, ethical and regulatory compliance.
Develop risk assessment and professional judgment in audit engagements.
Provide approaches to dealing with audit risks in an efficient manner.
Develop leadership and people management skills for effective engagement delivery.
