Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Theme: Enhancing Audit Quality, Professional Judgment, and Regulatory Compliance in a Changing Business Environment
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
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. Firms are, thus, expected to improve their audit quality, be more skeptical about their findings, and adopt proper quality management systems.
The Audit Managers & Supervisors Seminar is structured as an obligatory training program designed to develop the skills and knowledge of audit practitioners that are essential in managing audit engagements efficiently. 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.

Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1,2 and 3 Practical
2026-09-17 09:00 - 2026-09-18 15:30 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1,2 and 3 Practical
Date: 17th – 18th September 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Venue: CPA Centre
Overview
There is increased pressure from regulators, investors, financiers, and other stakeholders for organizations across all sectors to measure, manage, and transparently report their GHG emissions. With increasing mainstreaming of climate-related disclosures, the need for professionals who can apply the GHG accounting principles practically, as set out in recognized global frameworks, cannot be over-emphasized. This practical course will focus on the development of hands-on capacity to measure, calculate, document, and report GHG emissions for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. The course will bridge the gap between theory and practice by focusing on real-life organizational scenarios, sector-specific emission sources, and practical calculations that align with international best practice.
With the gradual evolution of sustainability reporting, it is increasingly expected of entities to report their carbon footprint in a reliable, consistent, and auditable manner. Yet, for many organizations, technical challenges persist regarding source identification for emissions, collection of quality data on activities, methods for selecting the most appropriate emission factors, and completeness and accuracy concerns in disclosures. This course responds to the practical competencies gap by equipping participants with the necessary competencies to operationalize GHG measurement, enhance internal data systems, support assurance processes, and better ensure the credibility of climate-related information presented within corporate reports.
The course will enhance the practical ability of participants to identify relevant emission sources, apply standardized calculation methodologies, manage data collection processes, and prepare reliable GHG emissions reports. It seeks to build competence in distinguishing between direct and indirect emissions, developing organizational and operational boundaries, and embedding internal controls that support high-quality environmental data. Participants will also gain an appreciation of how robust GHG reporting supports risk management, regulatory compliance, strategic planning, and stakeholder confidence.
Additionally, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions:
Introduction to GHG Accounting Frameworks

Overview of internationally accepted GHG accounting principles
Understanding organizational and operational boundaries
Alignment with global climate disclosure expectations

Practical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions

Identifying direct emission sources (fuel combustion, company vehicles, industrial processes)

ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
2026-09-21 09:00 - 2026-09-25 15:30 | Sarova Woodlands Hotel, Nakuru
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ERM MASTER CLASS 2026 MANDATORY TRAINING
THEME: Navigating Uncertainty Through Adaptive Enterprise Risk Management
DATE: 21st – 25th SEPTEMBER 2026
VENUE: SAROVA WOODLANDS HOTEL, NAKURU
TIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
OVERVIEW
The global business environment is experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty and disruption. Organizations are operating amidst economic volatility, geopolitical tensions, climate-related challenges, rapid technological advancements, evolving regulatory requirements, and increasing stakeholder expectations. These developments have fundamentally altered the risk landscape, requiring organizations to rethink how risks are identified, assessed, managed, and leveraged to create sustainable value.
The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report continues to highlight critical risks facing organizations including cyber insecurity, climate change, misinformation and disinformation, geopolitical conflicts, economic instability, and disruptions arising from emerging technologies. At the same time, organizations are increasingly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, digital platforms, and data-driven business models, creating both unprecedented opportunities and new categories of risk that require effective governance and oversight.
Within Kenya and across the region, organizations continue to navigate an increasingly dynamic environment characterized by economic pressures, regulatory reforms, digital transformation initiatives, sustainability demands, cybersecurity threats, supply chain vulnerabilities, and heightened public scrutiny. These realities demand that organizations build resilience, strengthen governance, improve strategic agility, and enhance their ability to respond effectively to emerging risks and opportunities.
Consequently, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is no longer viewed merely as a compliance or control function. Modern ERM has evolved into a strategic management discipline that supports decision-making, drives organizational performance, protects value, enhances resilience, and enables sustainable growth. Organizations that successfully integrate risk management into strategy and operations are better positioned to anticipate disruptions, adapt to change, capitalize on opportunities, and maintain stakeholder confidence.
The ERM Master Class 2026 has been designed to equip participants with advanced knowledge, and strategic insights necessary to navigate today’s complex risk environment. Building upon traditional ERM principles, this year’s programme introduces contemporary themes including Artificial Intelligence governance, cyber resilience, climate and sustainability risks, organizational resilience, risk analytics, digital transformation, and the future role of risk professionals.
Through expert-led sessions, practical workshops, case studies, simulations, and peer learning opportunities, participants will gain practical skills and actionable insights that can be immediately applied within their organizations. The Master Class will also provide an excellent platform for networking, benchmarking, and sharing experiences with fellow professionals from diverse sectors.
The following five modules cover the key fundamental learning areas;

Enhancement of compliance from reviews webinar

THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Enhancement of Compliance from Reviews webinar
Date: 22nd September 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) conducts practice reviews and quality assurance assessments to promote adherence to professional standards, ethical requirements, and regulatory obligations among accounting professionals and firms. These reviews provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of quality management systems, audit methodologies, documentation practices, independence requirements, and compliance with applicable professional standards. The findings and recommendations arising from such reviews offer an opportunity for firms and practitioners to identify weaknesses and implement measures that strengthen compliance and improve the quality of professional services.
The purpose of this initiative is to enhance compliance through the effective implementation of recommendations arising from ICPAK reviews. By addressing identified gaps and strengthening internal controls, firms can improve adherence to professional and ethical standards, reduce the risk of regulatory breaches, and enhance the quality and reliability of their services. The initiative seeks to foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability within professional practice.
To achieve this objective, firms will review and analyze findings from ICPAK review reports, develop corrective action plans, and implement measures to address identified deficiencies. This will include reviewing and updating policies and procedures, strengthening quality management systems, improving documentation and record-keeping practices, and providing targeted training to staff on professional and regulatory requirements. Periodic internal reviews and monitoring activities will also be undertaken to assess progress and ensure sustained compliance.
The expected outcome of this initiative is improved compliance with ICPAK requirements, professional standards, and ethical obligations. Enhanced compliance will contribute to higher-quality audit, assurance, and accounting services, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and reduce the recurrence of findings in future reviews. In addition, stronger governance, risk management, and internal control processes will support the long-term sustainability and reputation of firms and practitioners.
The reviews serve as an important mechanism for promoting professional excellence and regulatory compliance within the accounting profession. By proactively addressing review findings and implementing recommended improvements, firms and practitioners can strengthen their compliance frameworks, improve service quality, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct.

(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
The audit profession is undergoing unprecedented transformation driven by technological advancements, evolving stakeholder expectations, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and the growing complexity of business transactions. Auditors are expected not only to provide assurance on financial information but also to navigate emerging risks, leverage technology effectively and uphold the highest standards of professional judgment and ethical conduct.
Globally, audit regulators and standard setters continue to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening audit quality and restoring public confidence in the profession. Recent developments such as the International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2), revisions to risk assessment and auditing standards, increased focus on sustainability reporting and assurance, and the adoption of advanced data analytics tools are reshaping audit methodologies and engagement practices.
In Kenya, auditors operate within an increasingly complex environment characterized by heightened regulatory expectations, digital transformation, evolving reporting requirements, and growing concerns over fraud, cybersecurity threats, and financial reporting quality. Recent corporate failures and governance challenges have further reinforced the need for robust audit processes, enhanced professional skepticism, and continuous capacity building among audit professionals.
As organizations embrace digital technologies and face new business risks, audit staff must develop competencies that extend beyond traditional audit approaches. Skills in data analytics, risk assessment, fraud detection, audit quality management, and sustainability assurance are becoming essential for delivering high-quality audits that meet stakeholder expectations.
The Audit Staff Training Programme seeks to equip audit professionals with practical knowledge and emerging skills necessary to enhance audit quality, strengthen professional judgment, improve risk identification, and effectively respond to the evolving demands of the profession. The programme will provide participants with insights into current auditing standards, technological innovations, fraud risk management, and sustainability-related assurance considerations.

Sustainability Reporting Course
2026-10-08 09:00 - 2026-10-09 15:30 | ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre, Nairobi
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Reporting Course
Theme: Advancing Sustainability Reporting: From Compliance to Value Creation
Date: 8th -9th October 2026
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Venue: ICPAK Auditorium, CPA Centre
Overview
How can organizations effectively respond to growing stakeholder expectations for transparent, reliable, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures while meeting emerging global reporting requirements?
Sustainability reporting has rapidly evolved from a voluntary corporate responsibility exercise into a critical component of corporate governance, risk management, and strategic decision-making. Investors, regulators, lenders, customers, and other stakeholders increasingly require organizations to disclose how sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect their business model, strategy, financial performance, and long-term value creation.
The global sustainability reporting landscape has undergone significant transformation following the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the issuance of IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. These standards establish a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures and are increasingly influencing reporting expectations across jurisdictions, industries, and capital markets.
Organizations are now expected to go beyond broad sustainability narratives by demonstrating strong governance, effective risk management, measurable performance, and credible climate-related disclosures. This includes identifying, measuring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate-related risks and opportunities, sustainability metrics, and transition plans. As a result, organizations must strengthen their reporting capabilities, data management processes, internal controls, and readiness for assurance.
Professional accountants are at the centre of this transformation. Their expertise in reporting, governance, assurance, internal controls, performance measurement, and risk management positions them to play a critical role in the implementation of sustainability reporting frameworks and standards. As organizations increasingly integrate sustainability considerations into business strategy and decision-making, accountants must develop the practical competencies required to prepare, review, and support sustainability disclosures.
In line with its mandate to promote high standards of professional competence and support the accountancy profession, ICPAK has organized this course to equip participants with practical knowledge and implementation skills in sustainability reporting. The training will provide guidance on applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 requirements, conducting materiality assessments, measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions, developing sustainability disclosures, establishing sustainability metrics and targets, strengthening sustainability data governance, and preparing organizations for sustainability assurance requirements.

ISQM 1 and 2 Webinar 2026
Date: 21st October 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview
The International Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM 1) enhances quality management systems for firms performing audits or reviews of financial statements, other assurance or related services engagements. It promotes a proactive and effective approach to quality management, encouraging firms to design a system tailored to their specific circumstances. ISQM 1 replaces ISQC 1, which focuses on quality control for firms performing audits and reviews of financial statements and related services engagements. The objective is to ensure that the firm and its personnel fulfill their responsibilities and engagements in accordance with professional standards and legal requirements. Quality management is core to audit, and a detailed understanding of the importance of both audit quality and quality management underlines the performance of an audit. Quality is a key part of ensuring that audits are fit for purpose and retain the public trust.
The International Standard on Quality Management 2 (ISQM 2) outlines the scope of engagements subject to an engagement quality (EQ) review, the appointment and eligibility of the EQ reviewer, and their responsibilities. The objective is to objectively evaluate significant judgments made by the engagement team and their conclusions. ISQM 2 applies to all engagements required to perform an EQ review in accordance with ISQM 1, effective for audits and reviews of financial statements and assurance and related services engagements.

ANNUAL PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE 2026
2026-10-26 09:00 - 2026-10-30 15:30 | Pride Inn Paradise Beach Hotel,, Mombasa, Kenya
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
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
The conference will cover the following key thematic areas:

Overview
Large complex organizations typically require a more in-depth application of these full ISAs given their scope of business and applicability. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs.
The introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits.
This course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
