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

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

2. Practical Tools, Case Studies, and Review Techniques

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

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

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

Mid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills

Individuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing

THE 7TH ANNUAL BOARD TRAINING
2026-07-06 09:00 - 2026-07-10 15:30 | Enashipai Resort & Spa, Naivasha, 00100, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE 7TH ANNUAL BOARD TRAINING
Theme: Effective Modern-Day Governance for Solid Foundations
DATE: 6TH JULY– 10TH JULY 2026
TIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM
ENASHIPAI RESORT, NAIVASHA
OVERVIEW
Boards are the central force behind organizational stability and strategic success, charged with guiding vision, safeguarding integrity and ensuring long-term growth. In today’s rapidly changing environment, where technology, regulation, and stakeholder expectations converge, boards must operate with insight, resilience, and foresight. Their ability to anticipate challenges, make informed decisions and cultivate trust directly influences organizational performance and credibility, positioning the board as a decisive force for enduring excellence.
Effectiveness in modern governance requires boards to balance strategic thinking with operational intelligence. Understanding the financial and operational health of an organization, integrating long-term risk considerations and ensuring accountability allows boards to navigate complexity with clarity. Inclusive dialogue, ethical leadership and constructive debate strengthen cohesion, enabling boards to make decisions that reflect both organizational priorities and stakeholder expectations while fostering a culture of integrity and transparency.
Boards are also architects of future resilience. By embracing diversity of thought, preparing for leadership continuity, and adopting emerging technologies responsibly, boards can guide organizations through uncertainty while maintaining adaptability and innovation. Their oversight ensures that strategic objectives, sustainability considerations, and societal responsibilities are integrated into the organization’s operations, fostering an environment where growth, accountability, and long-term value coexist.
High-performing boards understand that governance extends beyond oversight; it is a catalyst for shaping organizational trajectory. By combining foresight, risk intelligence, ethical stewardship, and adaptive leadership, boards provide stability and vision in times of disruption. In an era defined by digital transformation, evolving regulations, and heightened expectations, boards that embrace these principles position their organizations to thrive, remain resilient, and achieve sustainable success. It is in this consideration that ICPAK has planned a 5-day board training with specific emphasis on the following areas:

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

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

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

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

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

The webinar will take a practical, implementation-driven approach. It will address common misclassifications, disclosure gaps, regulatory expectations and audit inspection findings. Participants will also briefly examine how IAS 10 interacts with IFRS 18, IAS 37, IAS 12, and IFRS 5.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to apply IAS 10 with confidence and sound professional judgment. This will strengthen the credibility of financial reporting, reduce post-reporting compliance risk, ensure users receive transparent, timely and decision-useful information.
Target Audience
This webinar is designed for professional accountants involved in financial reporting, audit, and assurance functions.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENE (physical option)
2026-07-22 09:00 - 2026-07-24 15:30 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENE
Date: 22nd – 24th July 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Venue: ICPAK Auditorium CPA Centre
OVERVIEW
The retirement benefits industry in Kenya is operating within an increasingly complex and demanding environment. Structural demographic changes, including increasing longevity and a growing retired population, are exerting pressure on scheme funding and benefit sustainability. At the same time, market volatility, inflation uncertainty and evolving investment landscapes are challenging traditional asset allocation strategies. Trustees and scheme management are required to balance long-term liabilities with short-term liquidity needs while maintaining prudence, transparency and regulatory compliance.
In parallel, the regulatory and professional expectations placed on pension schemes continue to expand. Actuarial valuations are subject to heightened scrutiny, funding shortfalls demand credible recovery plans, and financial reporting must faithfully reflect scheme solvency, investment performance and member entitlements. Emerging risks, particularly climate change, ESG stewardship obligations, cyber threats and data integrity issues are no longer peripheral considerations but central components of fiduciary duty.
Against this backdrop, ICPAK has developed this inaugural three-day training designed to move beyond theory and address the most difficult, practical challenges facing retirement benefit schemes. The programme is structured to equip trustees, finance teams and service providers with actionable tools to strengthen governance, improve funding decisions, align investments with liabilities, and respond effectively to emerging risks that threaten long-term member outcomes.

Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence
2026-07-29 16:00 - 18:00 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence
Theme- Strengthening Emotional Intelligence for Impactful Leadership and Professional Excellence
Date: 29th July 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue- CPA Centre
Overview
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has become an essential capability in today’s professional world, influencing how individuals understand their emotions, build meaningful relationships, and make grounded decisions. Unlike IQ, which measures cognitive ability, EI combines thinking and feeling to support self-awareness, emotional regulation, and authentic decision-making. It enables individuals to manage their reactions, meet emotional needs, and navigate situations with clarity and intention. Because EI predicts effectiveness and can be developed over time, it offers a unique pathway to personal fulfillment and professional success.
In modern workplaces, EI is increasingly recognized as a strategic competency that enhances communication, strengthens trust, and enables professionals to respond ethically under pressure. For accountants, auditors, finance practitioners, and business leaders, EI plays a pivotal role in managing stakeholder expectations, upholding integrity, and maintaining composure in high-stakes environments. By identifying emotional triggers and managing emotional hijacking, professionals cultivate the resilience and sound judgment required in complex and demanding roles.
A strong grounding in Emotional Intelligence supports self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social competence skills that enable individuals to manage conflict effectively, give constructive feedback, and lead with authenticity. In fields where technical expertise is expected, EI becomes a key differentiator that enhances ethical behavior, client care, decision-making, and leadership effectiveness. Professionals with high EI are better equipped to adapt to change, handle stress, and respond calmly in workplaces characterized by tight deadlines and regulatory scrutiny.
Beyond the individual level, EI has become central to building healthy organizational cultures. Teams with strong emotional intelligence demonstrate greater collaboration, accountability, innovation, and psychological safety. Leaders who apply EI foster inclusive environments where people feel respected, motivated, and empowered to perform at their best. As organizations confront growing complexity, diversity, and evolving work dynamics, EI has emerged as a critical driver of trust, agility, and long-term performance.
It is in recognition of this growing importance that ICPAK has organized the Evening Networking Forum. The session provides professionals with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Emotional Intelligence through guided discussions, real-life scenarios, and practical exercises. Participants will explore their emotional strengths, practice empathy-centered communication, and learn how EI influences leadership, teamwork, and conflict management. By blending learning with live networking, the forum equips attendees to apply EI concepts immediately while strengthening their professional connections and personal growth journeys.
The forum is designed to cover the following topics:
Introduction to Emotional Intelligence

Definition, principles, and components of Emotional Intelligence
Understanding emotions and responses

ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (physical option)
2026-08-12 09:00 - 2026-08-14 15:30 | Sarova Woodlands Hotel, Nakuru
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION
Theme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit, tax and advisory engagements
Date: 12th – 14th August 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm
Venue: Sarova Woodlands, Nakuru
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The accountancy profession has undergone significant developments and experienced a lot of evolution over the past few years. In recent years, the global accounting profession has undergone significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements, evolving regulatory frameworks, increasing stakeholder expectations, and the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethics. The audit environment has particularly experienced tremendous developments arising from the effect of new emerging and stringent regulations and standards among other social and economic developments. This has also happened to the other areas of the profession which has necessitated the change of approach and tact in delivering professional accountancy engagements, to align with rapid developments in technology, geopolitical risks and stringent regulations.
In this dynamic environment, audit practitioners, tax professionals, management consultants, and accounting practitioners must remain agile and well-informed to maintain professional competence and deliver value to clients and stakeholders. This makes it imperative for practitioners to continually update their knowledge and skills in key emerging areas such as sustainability reporting and assurance, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and Anti-Money Laundering Policies.
In Kenya, we have witnessed growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators, boards, and the investing public following reported major frauds affecting the public such as KUSCCO and OAG reports on county expenditure. Practitioners consequently must shift towards risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Furthermore, practitioners are today expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. Practitioners are also faced with challenges revolving around compliance with regulations such as KRA, SASRA, RBA and AML.
As practitioners 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.
It is against this background that the Institute has organized a three-day forum to discuss these critical developments which affect the practitioners in the different categories of practice, and the accountancy profession at large and seek to address the rising concerns of work quality while ensuring that efficiency in undertaking engagements is maintained. The Annual Practitioners Convention aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing, professional development, and networking among Practitioners. The convention will focus on equipping practitioners with the latest insights and practical tools to enhance their service delivery in an increasingly complex business environment. The following topics will guide the discussions in the Convention:

Future Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade
State of the accountancy profession in Africa- Trends for accountants in practice within various jurisdictions
