ANNUAL PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE 2026
Theme: Transforming Public Sector Financial Reporting Management Through Innovation, Accountability, and Sustainable Governance
Date: 26th – 30th October 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Pride Inn Paradise Beach Hotel, Mombasa

OVERVIEW
Public sector accounting remains a cornerstone of sound governance, prudent financial stewardship, transparency, and accountability in the management of public resources. Public sector accountants play a critical role in supporting policy implementation, enhancing fiscal discipline, strengthening internal controls, improving service delivery, and promoting effective utilization of public funds within national and county governments, state corporations, and other public institutions.
As governments and public institutions continue to operate within an increasingly complex economic, technological, regulatory, and social environment, the expectations placed on public finance professionals continue to expand significantly. Today’s public sector accountants are expected not only to ensure compliance with financial regulations and reporting requirements, but also to provide strategic insights that support sustainable development, institutional resilience, public trust, and effective decision making.
The public financial management landscape is undergoing rapid transformation driven by digitalization, public sector reforms, evolving International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), increasing citizen expectations for transparency and service delivery, fiscal pressures, climate related financial obligations, sustainability and ESG considerations, and growing demand for value for money in public expenditure. Governments are increasingly adopting technology enabled financial systems, strengthening performance-based budgeting approaches, enhancing reporting frameworks, and implementing reforms aimed at improving accountability and operational efficiency.
At the same time, the sector continues to face persistent and emerging challenges including delayed financial reporting, audit queries, weak internal controls, public debt pressures, fraud risks, cyber threats, capacity constraints, governance concerns, and increasing complexity in public private partnerships and sustainability related reporting obligations. These developments require public sector accountants to continuously strengthen their technical competence, digital readiness, ethical leadership, strategic thinking, and adaptability to emerging public finance trends.
The evolving role of public sector accountants therefore extends beyond traditional compliance focused responsibilities to include broader functions in governance, institutional transformation, risk oversight, financial analysis, sustainability reporting, performance management, internal assurance, and strategic public financial management.
The Annual Public Sector Accountants Conference provides an important platform for public finance professionals, regulators, policy makers, development partners, and stakeholders to engage on emerging issues affecting public sector accounting, governance, and financial management. The conference seeks to facilitate technical learning, professional development, peer engagement, collaborative discussions, and practical knowledge sharing on innovative approaches to strengthening accountability, transparency, institutional resilience, and service delivery within the public sector.
In line with its mandate to develop and support the accountancy profession and promote high standards of professional competence, governance, accountability, and ethical practice, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this conference to equip public sector professionals with practical insights, emerging knowledge, and strategic perspectives necessary for effective public financial management and sustainable institutional performance

AML and CFT Audit webinar
2026-11-03 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
NSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
AML and CFT Audit webinar
Date: 3rd November 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
Conducting an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) audit is a critical process for auditors, financial institutions, regulated entities and other designated professionals to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. These audits evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s policies, procedures, and controls designed to detect, prevent, and report money laundering and terrorist financing activities. Auditors assess whether the institution maintains a robust risk-based approach, adhering to standards set by bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), local regulators, and international guidelines. The primary goal is to identify weaknesses that could expose the organization to financial crime risks, reputational damage, or regulatory penalties. Successful audits require a combination of technical expertise, independence, and a thorough understanding of evolving threats in the global financial ecosystem.
The planning phase sets the foundation for a successful AML/CFT audit. Auditors begin by defining the scope, objectives, and timeline, considering factors like the institution’s size, customer base, product offerings, and geographic operations. A comprehensive risk assessment is conducted to prioritize high-risk areas, such as correspondent banking, trade finance, or dealings with high-risk jurisdictions. Documentation review includes examining the AML/CFT policy framework, customer due diligence (CDD) procedures, and transaction monitoring systems. Engagement with key stakeholders, including compliance officers and senior management, helps align expectations and gather preliminary insights. Proper planning ensures resources are allocated efficiently and that the audit remains focused on material risks.
Risk assessment forms the core of the audit methodology. Auditors evaluate the institution’s enterprise-wide risk assessment to determine if it accurately identifies, measures, and mitigates AML/CFT exposures. This involves analysing customer risk profiles, enhanced due diligence (EDD) for politically exposed persons (PEPs), and sanctions screening processes. Data analytics tools are often employed to review transaction patterns, flag suspicious activities, and test the effectiveness of automated monitoring systems. Qualitative factors, such as staff training programs and the “tone from the top” in fostering a culture of compliance, are also scrutinized. Any gaps in risk identification can indicate systemic vulnerabilities that require immediate attention.
Fieldwork and testing procedures involve detailed examination of controls and operations. Auditors perform walkthroughs of key processes, sample testing of customer files for proper KYC (Know Your Customer) documentation, and validation of suspicious activity report (SAR) filings. Independent testing of transaction monitoring rules helps verify detection accuracy and false positive rates. Interviews with frontline staff and compliance teams reveal practical implementation challenges. Technology audits may include assessing the reliability of core banking systems and data integrity. These hands-on activities ensure that theoretical policies translate into effective day-to-day practices.
Evaluation of findings focuses on the adequacy and effectiveness of the AML/CFT program. Auditors rate controls as effective, partially effective, or ineffective based on evidence gathered. Common deficiencies include inadequate customer identification, weak ongoing monitoring, or insufficient independent testing of the compliance function. Root cause analysis is performed to understand underlying issues, such as resource constraints or outdated technology. The audit team also benchmarks the institution against industry best practices and regulatory expectations, providing a holistic view of compliance maturity. This step is crucial for prioritizing remediation efforts.
The reporting and follow-up stage closes the audit cycle with actionable recommendations. A clear, well-structured report is delivered to management and the board, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and prioritized remedial actions with timelines. Follow-up mechanisms ensure that agreed-upon corrective measures are implemented and tested in subsequent reviews. Continuous monitoring and periodic re-audits help adapt to emerging risks, such as those posed by new technologies like cryptocurrencies or virtual assets. Ultimately, a well-conducted AML/CFT audit strengthens the organization’s defenses, promotes regulatory adherence, and contributes to the broader fight against financial crime.
Target Audience:
The webinar will be useful to accountants, auditors, academia, and other designated professionals interested AML and CFT audit

The Institute is established by an Act of parliament – The Accountants Act and has been in existence since 1978. Over its long history it has registered over 40,000 members. Its members work in diverse sectors of the economy as accountants, financial experts, auditors, financial consultants among other careers within the larger definition of accountancy. Over 1200 of our members have emigrated and are working beyond the borders of Kenya. Members of the Institute are present in 44 different countries around the globe.
ANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY
Each year for the last 42 years, ICPAK has maintained a rich tradition of congregating once a year to reflect on the profession and emerging issues affecting the nation. The last seminar followed the same pattern as it sought to reinforce the role of professional accountants in sustainability reporting and climate change. Both editions of the 42nd Annual Seminar attracted an average of 3,900 participants on both physical and virtual attendance, largely drawn from Kenya but with representation from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique and South Africa. The current event is targeted to attract a wider representation of East Africa and the continent at large.
Due to limited seats the Institute has held two Annual Seminars since 2021 to enable participation by most members. This year, the Institute shall also hold two Annual Seminars dubbed Edition 1 and Edition 2 to accommodate all the professionals. The first edition shall be held from 18th -22nd May 2026 while the second one for this year shall be held on 9th – 13th November 2026.
This year’s events mark 42 years since the time when the Institute held its first Annual Seminar in 1984. This demonstrates resilience, unity and focus of the Accountancy profession. Throughout these decades, the Annual Seminar has acted as a beacon of hope for the profession.
The Institute shall hold the Seminar in two physical venues i.e Sarova White sands and Pride Inn Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya with an option of live streaming and allocation of speakers and panelists across both venues. The delegates’ allocation to both venues shall be done based on date of payment, with the first venue being allocated the early paying delegates. The seminar shall also be streamed on the virtual platform where some delegates and speakers shall be participating.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession

ISA 220- Quality control for an audit of financial statements webinar
2026-11-10 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ISA 220- Quality control for an audit of Financial Statements Webinar
Date: 10th November 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
The quality of an audit is fundamental to maintaining public trust in the accountancy profession and enhancing confidence in financial reporting. In an increasingly complex business environment characterized by evolving regulatory requirements, technological advancements, heightened stakeholder expectations, and emerging risks, audit firms and engagement teams are under greater pressure to consistently deliver high-quality audit engagements.
Recognizing the need to strengthen audit quality, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) introduced a new suite of quality management standards, including International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 220, Quality Management for an Audit of Financial Statements. The revised standard shifts the focus from traditional quality control procedures to a proactive and risk-based approach to quality management at the engagement level.
ISA 220 places greater responsibility on the engagement partner for managing and achieving quality throughout the audit engagement. The standard emphasizes leadership, professional skepticism, appropriate direction and supervision of engagement teams, effective use of resources, and ongoing evaluation of whether quality objectives are being achieved. It also aligns with International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 1 and ISQM 2, creating a comprehensive framework for managing audit quality at both the firm and engagement levels.
As firms continue to implement quality management systems, it is essential for engagement partners, managers, auditors, and quality reviewers to understand their responsibilities under ISA 220 and how these requirements translate into practical actions throughout the audit lifecycle. Effective application of the standard contributes to improved audit execution, stronger documentation, enhanced professional judgment, and greater confidence in audit opinions.
This webinar will provide participants with practical insights into the requirements of ISA 220 (Revised), the role of the engagement partner in achieving audit quality, and best practices for embedding quality management into audit engagements across different jurisdictions and practice environments.

Understanding the New Quality Management Framework
Common challenges and lessons learned in establishing effective quality management systems.
Interaction between ISA 220 (Revised), ISQM 1, and ISQM 2

IPSAS Accrual webinar
2026-11-24 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IPSAS Accrual
Theme: Enhancing Transparency and Accountability Through Effective Application of Accrual-Based IPSAS
Date: 24th November 2026
Time: 4:00-6:00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
Accrual-based IPSAS strengthens public sector financial management by improving transparency, accountability, and decision-making. By recognizing assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses when they occur, it provides a fuller and more accurate view of an entity’s financial position and performance.
Moving to IPSAS Accrual is more than an accounting change; it reshapes how public sector organizations plan, manage, and report finances. It supports better cost analysis, asset and liability management, long-term planning, and evidence-based policy and budgeting.
Despite progress, many entities still face challenges in recognition, measurement, asset management, employee benefits, revenue recognition, disclosures, and IPSAS-compliant reporting. Addressing these requires continuous professional development and strong knowledge of accrual principles and IPSAS updates.
The changing public financial management environment calls for greater consistency, comparability, and accountability in reporting. Effective IPSAS Accrual application improves stewardship, audit outcomes, compliance, and public trust by ensuring financial information reflects the substance of transactions.
This webinar will offer practical insights into IPSAS Accrual principles, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. Through examples, discussions, and case scenarios, participants will explore common challenges and practical ways to improve public sector reporting.
ICPAK has organized this webinar to equip members with practical knowledge and current developments in IPSAS Accrual, strengthening technical competence and supporting consistent application for transparency, accountability, and effective stewardship of public resources.

Principles of accrual accounting

THE INTERNAL AUDIT, RISK, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2026
2026-11-30 09:00 - 2026-12-04 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 INTERNAL AUDIT, RISK, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2026
Theme: From Controls to Intelligence: Redefining Integrity through Risk and Forensic Insight
Date: 30th November – 4th December 2026
Venue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa
Time: 09.00am–03.30pm
OVERVIEW
Organizations today operate in environments defined by speed, complexity, and interconnected systems. Decisions are increasingly driven by digital platforms, automated processes, and real-time data flows. While governance frameworks and internal controls remain essential, recent experiences across sectors have demonstrated that traditional control-based assurance models, on their own, are no longer sufficient to detect emerging risks or prevent organizational failure.
Modern risk exposure has evolved into sophisticated threats including cyber-enabled fraud, insider manipulation, data integrity risks, money laundering schemes, weak governance oversight, and ethical blind spots embedded within organizational culture. These risks often materialize subtly, amplified by technology, fragmented accountability, and delayed responses. Assurance functions must therefore move beyond static checklists and adopt intelligence-driven approaches that anticipate, detect, and respond to risk in real time.
Internal audit functions are increasingly expected to act as strategic partners to Boards and senior management, providing forward-looking assurance and insight rather than retrospective reviews. This evolution requires stronger integration of risk intelligence, data analytics, forensic methodologies, and governance oversight. Forensic accounting, once viewed primarily as a reactive investigative tool, is now a critical component of proactive risk management, supporting early detection of irregularities and strengthening accountability mechanisms.
At the same time, organizations face heightened regulatory scrutiny, growing public expectations for transparency, and increasing pressure to demonstrate ethical leadership. Whistleblowing systems, audit trails, anti-money laundering controls, and ethical culture are no longer optional safeguards but essential pillars of institutional credibility. Professionals charged with safeguarding these systems must therefore possess not only technical competence, but also judgment, resilience, and the ability to navigate complex risk landscapes.
Against this backdrop, the Internal Audit, Risk, and Forensic Conference provides a strategic forum for practitioners, regulators, and organizational leaders to examine how assurance functions can evolve from control-focused compliance roles into intelligence-led enablers of integrity and trust. Through expert insights, practical case studies, and cross-sector dialogue, the conference will explore how risk intelligence and forensic insight can be leveraged to strengthen accountability, protect value, and enhance organizational resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment.

Data Analytics for Professionals 2026 Webinar
2026-12-01 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Data Analytics for Professionals 2026 Webinar
Date: 1st December 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
In today’s data-driven professional environment, the ability to interpret, analyze, and leverage information is critical for informed decision-making and organizational success. Professionals across finance, audit, taxation, governance, and management are navigating growing volumes of data from operational systems, financial transactions and regulatory reporting. This landscape requires not only a clear understanding of the foundations of data analytics but also practical skills in managing, refining and structuring information to reveal patterns, trends, and actionable insights.
The analytical process extends from careful handling of data, ensuring its reliability and integrity, to visualizing complex information in ways that are accessible and meaningful. Insightful dashboards, key performance indicators, and clear reporting techniques bring clarity to decision-making and enhance the ability to communicate findings effectively. Alongside this, the use of modern tools and analytical techniques allows professionals to uncover trends, forecast outcomes, and interpret statistical relationships that inform both operational and strategic decisions.
Beyond individual analysis, data analytics strengthens governance, risk management, and compliance, supporting internal controls, continuous monitoring, and the detection of anomalies. By integrating analytical thinking with practical applications, professionals are better positioned to translate data into strategic insight, enhance organizational performance and contribute to a culture of transparency and accountability in a competitive and rapidly evolving digital environment. Key discussion areas are:

Introduction to Data Analytics and Its Relevance
Data Collection, Cleaning, and Preparation
Data Visualization and Reporting
Analytical Tools and Techniques – Excel analytics (PivotTables, Power Query, advanced formulas), Introduction to Power BI / Tableau, basic statistical analysis, Trend analysis, forecasting, and variance analysis
Applying Data Analytics in Audit, Risk, and Compliance – Fraud detection and anomaly identification, Continuous monitoring, compliance reporting, and governance

THE 32ND EXECUTIVE SEMINAR
2026-12-07 09:00 - 2026-12-11 15:30 | Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre, Dubai, Dubai - UAE
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE 32nd EXECUTIVE SEMINAR
Date: 7th -11th December 2026
Venue: Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre
Theme: Leadership Excellence through Vision and Influence
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
OVERVIEW
Effective executive leadership is the cornerstone of organizational success, serving as the guiding force that aligns resources, inspires people, and navigates challenges toward sustainable growth. Leaders at the executive level set the tone for organizational culture, drive strategic initiatives, and bear ultimate responsibility for performance outcomes. Their ability to balance short-term operational demands with long-term vision distinguishes thriving organizations from those that stagnate. In today’s volatile business environment, marked by rapid technological change and global competition, executives must embody resilience, foresight, and emotional intelligence to foster adaptability and maintain competitive advantage.
A hallmark of effective leadership is the articulation and relentless pursuit of a compelling vision. Executives must craft a clear strategic direction that resonates across all levels of the organization, translating abstract goals into actionable plans. This involves conducting thorough market analyses, anticipating industry shifts, and rallying teams around shared objectives. By communicating this vision consistently, leaders create a sense of purpose that motivates employees, reduces ambiguity, and ensures that every department contributes coherently to overarching success. Without this strategic clarity, organizations risk fragmented efforts and missed opportunities.
Strong communication skills are indispensable for executive leaders. They must excel at both conveying information transparently and actively listening to feedback from stakeholders, including employees, customers, and board members. Transparent communication builds trust, mitigates rumours during crises, and encourages open dialogue that surfaces innovative ideas. Effective leaders tailor their messages to different audiences while maintaining authenticity, using tools like town halls, digital platforms, and one-on-one interactions. This two-way flow of information not only aligns the workforce but also empowers individuals to take ownership of their roles.
Building and empowering high-performing teams lies at the heart of executive leadership. Successful leaders invest in talent acquisition, development, and retention, recognizing that people are the primary drivers of innovation and execution. They delegate authority thoughtfully, cultivate an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives flourish, and provide the resources and autonomy needed for teams to excel. By mentoring emerging leaders and promoting a culture of accountability paired with support, executives multiply their impact and create organizational depth that withstands leadership transitions.
Decisiveness combined with a willingness to embrace innovation defines leaders who propel organizations forward. Executives face constant pressure to make high-stakes choices amid uncertainty, weighing risks against potential rewards. Effective ones rely on data-driven insights while trusting their intuition honed through experience. They champion experimentation, tolerate calculated failures as learning opportunities, and foster agility so the organization can pivot swiftly in response to disruptions. This proactive stance ensures continuous improvement and positions the company as an industry leader rather than a follower.
Ultimately, effective executive leadership is anchored in integrity, ethical conduct, and a commitment to long-term value creation. Leaders who prioritize stakeholder well-being, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable practices earn lasting loyalty and enhance their organization’s reputation. They measure success not solely by financial metrics but by the positive impact on employees, communities, and the broader ecosystem. Through principled decision-making and personal accountability, these executives inspire confidence, weather adversity, and leave a legacy of enduring organizational success.
In light of this, ICPAK will hold a one-week Executive Seminar in Dubai, themed Leadership Excellence through Vision and Influence, with an aim of bringing 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:

Leadership by Design- Practical Tips for New Managers and Supervisors
2026-12-08 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Leadership by Design- Practical Tips for New Managers and Supervisors
Date: 8th December 2026
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
Leadership by design is the deliberate practice of shaping your leadership approach with intention rather than allowing it to emerge reactively from daily pressures. For new managers, this means treating leadership as a craft you actively engineer—defining your values, systems, and behaviours upfront. Leaders start by conducting a personal audit: reflect on your strengths, past experiences, and the kind of leader you want to become. This foundational clarity prevents you from defaulting to old habits or mimicking ineffective bosses, creating a consistent leadership identity from day one.
One practical tip is to design clear structures for goal setting and accountability. New managers often struggle with ambiguity, so implement weekly one-on-ones and quarterly engagements tailored to your team. Use simple templates to align individual tasks with broader team objectives and make progress visible through shared dashboards or boards. By designing these rhythms early, you foster predictability and momentum. This system not only drives results but also signals to your team that leadership is thoughtful and organized, building trust faster than sporadic check-ins ever could.
Effective leadership by design prioritizes empowering others over micromanaging. Delegate meaningful responsibilities by mapping team members’ strengths and growth areas, then create “ownership charters” that outline decision rights and success metrics for each role. Schedule regular calibration meetings to review what’s working without hovering. This approach frees you to focus on strategic work while developing your people. New managers who design delegation frameworks report higher team engagement and fewer bottlenecks, turning potential chaos into scalable performance.
Communication is another area ripe for intentional design. Establish a feedback culture through structured engagements while granting room for feedback on self. Design your availability—such as office hours or response-time SLAs—to model balance and accessibility. New managers should also practice radical candour in private while celebrating wins publicly. These designed touchpoints reduce misunderstandings and create psychological safety, essential for high-performing teams.
Finally, build adaptability into your leadership system through continuous learning loops. Set aside time each month for personal reflection, peer mentoring, or skill-building courses amongst other avenues. Treat failures as design experiments: analyse what broke, iterate on your approach, and document lessons. For new managers, this meta-habit prevents stagnation and demonstrates humility. Leadership by design is never static—it evolves with evidence, ensuring you grow alongside your team while delivering sustainable results.

Branch Annual Tax Workshop-Mandatory Training (Nyanza Branch)
2026-12-10 09:00 - 2026-12-11 15:30 | Kisumu, TBC
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
Branch Annual Tax Workshop (Nyanza Branch) Mandatory Training
Theme: Navigating Tax Compliance in a Changing Regulatory Landscape
Date: 10th – 11th December 2026
Time: 09.00am -3.30pm
Venue: Kisumu, To be Confirmed
(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
The modern tax landscape in Kenya and globally presents multifaceted challenges. Finance professionals must navigate corporate income tax, VAT, excise duties, PAYE, transfer pricing, digital taxation, and emerging compliance requirements. Non-compliance exposes organizations to financial penalties, reputational risks, and operational disruption. Accountants, tax practitioners, auditors, and finance managers therefore play a critical role in safeguarding compliance, advising on strategic tax planning, and supporting overall organizational decision-making.
Direct taxes sting the pockets of workers, entrepreneurs and investors, and simultaneously reducing their disposable income. The combined effect is to squeeze household budgets, diminishing livelihoods, lifestyle choices and business activity. In a context where governments have to cope with less revenue, increasing expenditure and resulting fiscal constraints, raising revenue remains the most important function of taxes. This serves as the primary means for financing public goods such as maintenance of law and order and public infrastructure.
Today’s tax environment is increasingly complex, with rapid legislative changes, heightened regulatory scrutiny, digitalization of tax administration, and international tax reforms challenging professionals to ensure compliance while optimizing tax positions.
The Branch Annual Tax Workshop has been designed to equip participants with practical knowledge, technical skills, and actionable insights for effective tax management. Through a combination of technical instruction, interactive exercises, real-world scenarios, and practical case studies, participants will explore key aspects of domestic taxation, corporate and personal tax obligations, indirect taxes, tax audits, dispute resolution, and ethical tax practice. The workshop also introduces participants to digital tax tools, emerging trends, and strategic considerations in integrating tax functions with organizational objectives.
By the end of this two-day program, participants will be prepared to manage complex tax issues, ensure compliance with Kenyan tax laws, implement practical strategies, and contribute to organizational efficiency, transparency, and value creation.
Topics to be covered include:

Ethical standards and professionalism in tax practice -Code of conduct requirements
Tax Dispute resolution
Changes in tax requirements – Overview of the Tax Laws and recent amendments
Overview of Cross-border trade and international compliance and requirements
VAT Act and compliance with recent changes
e-TIMS real-time reporting (RTR) and compliance obligations and Technological advancements on tax compliance

Target Audience
This training is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration. It is also open to all Tax Professionals, Audit Practitioners, Senior Management of Organizations, CEOs and Boards and government officials/experts who deal with international tax or transfer pricing in Africa and wish to gain a deeper technical understanding of relevant tax matters.
