SUMMARY:RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE \nDate: 22nd – 24th July 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium CPA Centre \nOVERVIEW \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:SACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSACCO SECTOR CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme:\nDate: 22nd -24th July 2026 \nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: Sarova Imperial -Kisumu \nOVERVIEW: \nThe Savings and Credit Cooperative (SACCO) sector continues to play a pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion\, mobilizing savings and providing affordable access to credit for a significant proportion of the Kenyan population. This contribution is particularly evident in rural communities\, where SACCOs have substantially improved access to essential financial services for individuals who would otherwise remain underserved by conventional banking institutions. By offering accessible savings and credit facilities\, SACCOs have empowered ordinary citizens\, fostered economic participation and promoted socio-economic development at the grassroots level. \nHowever\, the SACCO sector has historically faced several challenges\, including weak governance structures\, inadequate capitalization\, non-compliance with financial reporting standards and emerging sustainability requirements. These challenges have constrained the sector’s ability to fully realize its potential as a catalyst for the socio-economic empowerment of its members. The recent events involving the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Cooperatives (KUSCCO) serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of governance failures within the sector. The scandal\, which resulted in substantial financial losses for participating SACCOs and their members\, significantly eroded stakeholder confidence and underscored the far-reaching implications of poor governance on the stability of the financial sector and the broader economy. \nThese developments underscore the urgent need to strengthen governance frameworks\, enhance oversight mechanisms\, and foster a renewed commitment to accountability\, transparency and prudent financial management within SACCO institutions. In response to the governance and operational weaknesses exposed by these failures\, the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) have intensified regulatory requirements and supervisory oversight aimed at safeguarding members’ deposits\, promoting sound corporate governance practices and enhancing the financial resilience and stability of SACCOs. These measures are intended not only to restore public confidence in the sector but also to ensure that SACCOs operate in a safe\, sustainable and member-centric manner. \nOn a positive note\, the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Award 2025 provided valuable insights and learning opportunities for the SACCO sector. Several SACCOs distinguished themselves by demonstrating exemplary practices in financial reporting\, corporate governance and sustainability. These institutions exhibited strong adherence to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) while integrating Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) principles into their strategic and operational frameworks\, thereby enhancing transparency\, accountability\, and stakeholder confidence. \nImportantly\, the FiRe Award also brought to the fore critical issues affecting the sector’s compliance landscape and operational effectiveness. Among the key challenges identified were weaknesses in governance structures\, inadequate capitalization\, technological deficiencies and increasing incidences of fraud. These findings underscore the need for SACCOs to strengthen institutional governance\, invest in digital transformation\, enhance internal control systems and adopt sustainable business practices to improve resilience\, maintain regulatory compliance and safeguard member interests. \nThe SACCO Sector Conference 2026\, therefore\, presents a timely and strategic platform for stakeholders to critically reflect on the prevailing challenges confronting the sector while jointly exploring emerging opportunities for innovation\, resilience and sustainable growth. By fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration among key actors\, the conference seeks to strengthen the capacity of SACCO leaders\, practitioners and members to effectively navigate the evolving financial landscape. Ultimately\, it aims to enhance institutional adaptability\, reinforce sector relevance and secure the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of SACCOs in a rapidly changing economic environment. \nThe following topics will be covered in the conference: \n\nKeynote address from SASRA\nSACCO Regulatory Compliance Framework: Understanding the legal and regulatory framework governing SACCOs in Kenya.\nRegulatory roundtable -SASRA\, CBK and other relevant regulators.\nOverview of new guidance and advisories issued by SASRA & ICPAK.\nGovernance & Ethical Leadership: Enhancing good governance structures for effective oversight\, compliance and ethical leadership.\nCross-cutting and recurring issues emanating from the audit of SACCOs.\nFiRe Award feedback and participation by SACCOs.\nDigital innovations & financial inclusion: enhancing member-centricity and innovation for effective service delivery to members.\nStrategic partnerships & collaborations: evolving strategic partnerships with fintechs\, banks\, insurers and technology providers to diversify service offerings.\nCybersecurity and data protection: Compliance with obligations under the Data Protection Act and regulations and address potential cyberattacks and fraud schemes.\nSustainability and Climate Change: Readiness for implementation of IFRS S1 & S2 by SACCOs and way forward.\nData Analytics & Key Tax matters for SACCOs: Leveraging data analytics to support SACCO operations and service provision.\nEmerging & current tax matters for SACCOs.\n Anti Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals in the SACCO Sector.\n Stress management & building resilience in the workplace.\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThe conference is targeted at a wide range of professionals and organizations in the SACCO sector\, including: \n\nSACCO managers\, board members\, and staff\nFinancial regulators (e.g.\, Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA))\nPolicy makers in the financial services sector\nSACCO members and their representatives\nDevelopment partners\, NGOs\, and donor organizations involved in financial inclusion\nResearchers and academia focusing on cooperative finance\nTechnology and financial service providers offering digital solutions for SACCOs\n\nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes.50\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\n**Charges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance.  \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 CPD Units upon successfully attending all sessions. \n  \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. \nNITA REIMBURSEMENT: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

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

SUMMARY:THE PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR-with National Treasury and PSASB
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL REPORTING SEMINAR (with National Treasury & PSASB)\nTheme: Forging a resilient economy: Navigating Accrual Transition\, Climate Realities\, and broader economic imperatives in Kenya\nDate: 3rd-7th August 2026 \nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Pride Inn Paradise Resort\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nKenya’s public financial management stands at a defining crossroads. As the nation accelerates its transition to full accrual-based IPSAS reporting with first accrual statements expected for FY 2025/26 and full compliance by June 2027\, public sector accountants\, treasurers\, auditors\, and policymakers face unprecedented opportunities and responsibilities. \nMounting public debt pressures considered sustainable but at high risk of distress\, escalating climate vulnerabilities\, digital transformation in PFM systems\, and the urgent demand for transparent\, citizen-centric governance require more than technical compliance. They demand visionary leadership that balances fiscal prudence with bold investments in sustainability\, equity\, and long-term national resilience. \nThis seminar moves beyond rote standard application to ignite transformative thinking. Participants will explore how accrual accounting can unlock better asset management\, liability recognition\, and decision-making while confronting real-world challenges: debt sustainability amid global shocks\, climate-related fiscal risks\, green public financial management\, and the ethical imperative of intergenerational equity. \nThrough dynamic sessions\, practical case studies from Kenya’s ongoing reforms (including IFMIS re-engineering\, new IPSAS adoptions\, and sustainability-linked financing)\, and forward-looking dialogues\, attendees will gain actionable insights to strengthen transparency\, combat inefficiencies\, and position public finances as engines of inclusive growth. \nThe seminar is more than professional development; it is a call to stewardship. By the end\, participants will leave equipped with updated knowledge\, practical tools\, enhanced leadership capabilities\, and a renewed commitment to building a public finance ecosystem that serves today’s citizens without mortgaging tomorrow’s future. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following four days covering various aspects: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY

SUMMARY:ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION\nTheme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit\, tax and advisory engagements\nDate: 12th – 14th August 2026\nTime: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm\nVenue: Sarova Woodlands\, Nakuru \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe 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. \nIn 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. \nIn 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. \nAs 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.

SUMMARY:ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION\nTheme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit\, tax and advisory engagements\nDate: 12th – 14th August 2026\nTime: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe 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. \nIn 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. \nIn 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. \nAs 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. \nIt 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.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance-ISSA 5000 Webinar

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. \nTo 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. \nAs 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. \nThis 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. \nTopical areas; \n\nUnderstanding Sustainability Assurance Engagements\nPlanning and Performing Sustainability Assurance Engagements\nEvidence Gathering and Documentation\nMateriality\, Value Chain Information\, and Use of Experts\nInternal Controls and Assurance Readiness\nReporting and Communication under ISSA 5000\n\nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Forensic\, Fraud and Internal Controls Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nForensic\, Fraud and Internal Controls Workshop 2026 (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Strengthening Integrity\, Accountability\, and Resilience Through Forensic Insights and Internal Controls\nDate: 19th-20th August 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nIn 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. \nForensic 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. \nA 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. \nThis 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. \nIt 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. The session is designed to enhance participants’ technical competence\, ethical awareness\, and practical skills to strengthen accountability\, governance\, and organizational resilience. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nFoundations of Forensic Accounting and Fraud Risk\n\n\nPrinciples\, purpose\, and scope of forensic accounting\nIdentifying common fraud schemes and red flags\nThe role of forensic accounting in organizational governance\n\n\nInternal Controls and Risk Mitigation\n\n\nDesigning\, assessing\, and strengthening internal control systems\nLinking controls to organizational objectives and compliance frameworks\nMonitoring mechanisms to prevent operational and financial breaches\n\n\nFraud Detection Techniques and Technology\n\n\nLeveraging data analytics\, ERP systems\, and continuous monitoring\nUsing AI and forensic software to detect irregularities\nCase studies demonstrating technology-driven fraud detection\n\n\nWhistleblowing\, Ethics\, and Accountability\n\n\nPrinciples and importance of whistleblower frameworks\nProtecting whistleblowers and promoting ethical decision-making\nLessons from real-life whistleblowing successes and failures\n\n\nApplied Forensic Case Studies\n\n\nScenario-based exercises to detect\, investigate\, and respond to fraud\nDeveloping mitigation strategies and risk response plans\nGroup discussions to reinforce practical learning\n\n\nStrengthening Governance and Networking with Forensic Awareness\n\n\nBoard and management roles in fraud risk oversight\nStrategies for promoting transparency\, accountability\, and ethical culture\nNetworking and peer collaboration to share experiences and practical insights\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.

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. \nAgainst 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. \nIn 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. \nRecognizing 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.
