Audit Managers & Supervisors Seminar 2026 (Mandatory Training)
Date: 16th -17th September 2026
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

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;

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.

THE 10TH NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE
2026-09-28 08:00 - 2026-10-02 17:00 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa Mombasa, Mombasa
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(ESTABLISHED UNDER THE ACCOUNTANTS ACT, LAWS OF KENYA)
THE 10th NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE
Theme: Empowering Ladies for Sustainable Leadership, Innovation, and Inclusive Growth in a Globally Competitive Landscape
28th SEPTEMBER – 2nd OCTOBER 2026
SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA, MOMBASA
TIME: 09.00am-03.30pm
OVERVIEW
The ICPAK National Lady Accountants Conference stands as a premier platform dedicated to celebrating, empowering, and advancing women in the accounting and other professions. It brings together female professionals across diverse sectors to reflect on their contribution to financial leadership, governance, and economic development, while also creating space for dialogue on the challenges and opportunities that shape their personal and professional journeys. In a field that continues to evolve rapidly, the conference recognizes the critical role women accountants play in driving integrity, innovation, and sustainable value creation within organizations and the broader economy.
In today’s rapidly evolving global economy, empowering women to assume leadership roles is no longer a matter of equity alone but a strategic imperative for sustainable progress. Women leaders bring distinctive perspectives shaped by diverse life experiences, fostering decision-making that prioritizes long-term resilience over short-term gains. Sustainable leadership, when championed by ladies, integrates environmental stewardship, ethical governance, and social responsibility into core business strategies. This approach helps organizations navigate volatility—whether from climate challenges or geopolitical shifts—while building stakeholder trust and ensuring enduring viability in competitive international markets.
Innovation flourishes when barriers to women’s participation are dismantled. Ladies often excel at collaborative problem-solving and human-centered design, injecting fresh ideas into technology, healthcare, finance, and green industries. By investing in women and inclusive innovation ecosystems, organizations unlock untapped talent pools that drive breakthroughs. In a globally competitive landscape, companies and nations that harness female ingenuity report higher patent filings, agile adaptation to market disruptions, and the creation of solutions that address both local needs and universal challenges, such as sustainable energy and digital inclusion.
There is a growing recognition of the critical role women accountants play in driving ethical leadership, financial transparency, and sustainable organizational growth. As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation, sustainability reporting and integrated thinking, lady accountants are expected to take up more strategic roles beyond compliance and reporting. One of the key benefits of this conference is enhanced professional capability and leadership development among women in the accounting and other professions.
The 10th National Lady Accountants Conference therefore aims to demystify complex and emerging areas while empowering women to confidently navigate leadership roles and professional challenges. It will provide practical insights into how strategic decisions are influenced and how women can position themselves as key drivers of transformation within their organizations. Additionally, participants are expected to be better equipped to lead with confidence, create strong and lasting personal brands, overcome career plateaus, embrace innovation and contribute meaningfully to sustainable financial and organizational success.

(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.

Stress Management and resilience for professionals-webinar
2026-10-06 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Stress Management and Resilience for Professionals Webinar
Theme: Building Resilience for Sustainable Professional Performance and Well-being
Date: 6th October 2026
Mode: Virtual
Time: 4:00pm-6:00pm
Overview
Today’s professionals are operating in increasingly demanding environments shaped by evolving business models, rapid technological change, regulatory expectations, tight deadlines, and rising stakeholder demands. While these pressures can drive innovation and productivity, they can also lead to prolonged stress, burnout, reduced performance, and diminished well-being when not managed effectively. In this context, stress management and resilience have become essential competencies for sustainable professional performance.
Stress is a natural response to workplace demands. However, when it remains unmanaged, it can affect physical health, emotional well-being, decision-making, productivity, and professional relationships. For accountants, auditors, finance professionals, and business leaders who often work in high-pressure settings, the ability to manage stress while maintaining sound professional judgment is critical.
Resilience enables professionals to adapt positively to challenges, recover from setbacks, and remain focused during periods of uncertainty and change. It goes beyond coping with pressure; it is the capacity to learn, grow, and thrive despite adversity. Resilient professionals demonstrate emotional intelligence, adaptability, optimism, and effective problem-solving skills, which strengthen leadership, teamwork, communication, and overall organizational performance.
Creating mentally healthy workplaces requires shared commitment from both individuals and organizations. Leaders play a key role in fostering supportive environments that promote open communication, psychological safety, work-life balance, and proactive stress management. Organizations that invest in employee well-being and resilience benefit from stronger engagement, reduced absenteeism, improved collaboration, and higher levels of innovation and performance.
This webinar will equip participants with practical knowledge and evidence-based strategies for managing workplace stress and building resilience in demanding professional environments. Through expert presentations, practical exercises, and interactive discussions, participants will learn how to recognize stress indicators, strengthen emotional resilience, improve coping mechanisms, and maintain performance while safeguarding their mental well-being.
Recognizing that resilient professionals are better positioned to deliver high-quality services, exercise sound judgment, and lead effectively through change, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to support members in strengthening stress management, resilience, and personal well-being. The programme is designed to help professionals sustain long-term performance while contributing to healthier, more productive, and more resilient workplaces.

Sustainability Reporting Course (physical option)

INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Reporting Course (physical option)
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.

The Forensic, Fraud, Internal Controls and their effects on Financial Statements (North Rift Branch)
2026-10-08 09:00 - 2026-10-09 15:30 | Kitale Town -TBC
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
The Forensic, Fraud, Internal Controls and their effects on Financial Statements – North Rift Branch
Date: 8th-9th October 2026
Time: 09.00am -3.30pm
Venue: Kitale, TBC
Overview
Financial statements are a critical source of information for investors, regulators, management and other stakeholders, as they provide insight into an entity’s financial position and performance. However, the reliability of these statements can be compromised by fraudulent activities, weak internal control systems and deliberate financial misstatements. Forensic accounting has therefore become an important discipline in identifying, investigating and addressing financial irregularities. Understanding the foundations of forensic accounting and financial fraud, as well as fraud risks in financial reporting, is essential in safeguarding the credibility and integrity of financial information.
Fraud can have a substantial impact on the reporting of financial statements, including the overstatement of assets, understatement of liabilities, overstatement of revenues and understatement of expenses. These have a direct influence on the reporting of the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Profit or Loss and the Statement of Cash Flows. Analyzing the influence of fraud on the reporting of the financial position of an entity, the influence of fraud on the reporting of the profit or loss of an entity, and the influence of fraud on the reporting of the cash flows of an entity provide an overview of the influence of fraudulent activities on the financial position of an entity.
Strong internal control systems and financial reporting reliability play a fundamental role in preventing and detecting fraud within organizations. Effective control frameworks, supported by governance structures and oversight mechanisms, reduce the opportunities for manipulation and enhance accountability. At the same time, failures in governance and control breakdowns can create an environment where fraud can occur or remain undetected, highlighting the importance of strong institutional frameworks, ethical leadership and effective monitoring processes.
This seminar will provide participants with practical insights into forensic techniques used in detecting financial statement fraud, the importance of effective governance and control of environments, and strategies for strengthening internal controls to safeguard financial statements. By exploring these areas, participants will enhance their ability to identify fraud indicators, understand the effects of fraudulent activities on financial reporting and apply stronger control and monitoring practices that improve transparency, accountability and confidence in financial statements.
Topical areas of discussion:

Forensic Audit:

Financial records & evidence
Audit procedures
Evidence of irregularities
Use of forensic audits in litigation and dispute resolution

Forensic Investigation, Report Writing & Evidence Preparation

Forensic tools
Evidence gathering techniques
Chain of custody and evidence preservation
Structuring forensic reports for legal and management use

Fraud Risk Assessments

Fraud risk identification and mapping
Fraud risk assessment frameworks and methodologies
Designing and implementing fraud risk registers

Internal Control Systems, Policies and Procedures & Financial Reporting Reliability

Control design and implementation best practices
Control testing and evaluation techniques
Link between internal controls and reliable financial reporting

Modern Day Fraud

Emerging fraud trends (cyber fraud, mobile money fraud, procurement fraud)
Digital payment systems and associated risks
Insider fraud vs external fraud

Impact of Fraud on Financial Statements

Effects on Statement of Financial Position, Profit or Loss, and Cash Flows
Financial Statement Fraud Schemes and Red Flags

International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar
2026-10-13 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar
Date: 13th October 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
The International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents a landmark development in financial reporting for the non-profit sector. Launched in October 2025 as the first globally recognized accounting standard specifically designed for non-profit organizations (NPOs), INPAS provides a unified, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique characteristics of nonprofits. Unlike traditional standards such as IFRS or national GAAP, which primarily serve for-profit entities, INPAS addresses sector-specific challenges including diverse funding sources, donor restrictions, and grant reporting. It emerged from the International Financial Reporting for Non-Profit Organisations (IFR4NPO) project, led by CIPFA and Humentum, following extensive global consultations over six years involving stakeholders from more than 40 countries.
INPAS is built upon the foundation of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard, adapting and extending it to better reflect non-profit realities. It applies to small, medium, and large NPOs that use accrual accounting, offering guidance for preparing whole-of-entity financial statements that meet the needs of a wide range of users, including donors, regulators, and beneficiaries. The standard emphasizes producing transparent, credible, and comparable financial reports while reducing inconsistencies that arise when NPOs apply multiple or mismatched frameworks across jurisdictions and funders.
A core objective of INPAS is to enhance transparency, accountability, and trust in non-profit finances worldwide. It tackles long-standing issues such as the recognition and measurement of grants and donations, the clear distinction and presentation of restricted versus unrestricted funds, and the integration of meaningful narrative reporting alongside financial data. By providing specific rules for these areas, INPAS helps ensure that financial statements deliver decision-useful information, enabling stakeholders to better understand an organization’s resource allocation, performance, and compliance with donor intentions.
The standard covers comprehensive recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements customized to non-profit activities and funding models. It includes a Practice Guide for harmonized grant reporting, which aims to streamline compliance across different funders and significantly reduce the administrative burden on NPOs that previously faced duplicative or conflicting reporting demands. This harmonization is expected to improve efficiency, cut compliance costs, and foster greater consistency in how financial information is communicated globally.
INPAS promotes comparability across borders and organizations, allowing donors, governments, and the public to more reliably assess and compare non-profits regardless of location or size. ICPAK has endorsed the use of the standards and early uptake is anticipated to build credibility and support informed decision-making. The standard’s standalone nature means NPOs can apply it independently, though publicly accountable entities must make appropriate disclosures if choosing INPAS over full IFRS.
Overall, INPAS marks the non-profit sector’s alignment with the kind of standardized, high-quality financial reporting long available to for-profit entities. By establishing a single, sector-dedicated benchmark, it seeks to strengthen donor confidence, facilitate cross-border operations, and ultimately contribute to more effective and trustworthy non-profit work worldwide. As implementation progresses, ongoing guidance and resources from the International Non-Profit Reporting Foundation (INPRF) will support the transition for organizations adopting the standard. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on the standard.

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.
Target Audience:
This webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession, Internal and External Auditors, Consultants and Advisors

Branch Tax Seminar - Western Branch
2026-10-22 09:00 - 2026-10-23 15:30 | Hunters Paradise Cottages, Bungoma
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
Branch Tax Seminar – Western Branch
Theme: Branch Taxation: Practical Compliance, Risk Management, and Emerging Trends
Date: 22nd -23rd October 2026
Time: 09.00am -3.30pm
Venue: Bungoma, To be Confirmed
Overview
Branches are vital to many organizations in Kenya but face distinct tax issues unlike those of head offices or subsidiaries. Issues such as income attribution, VAT apportionment, withholding tax, and transfer pricing demand specialized knowledge and careful application of tax laws.
KRA has increased scrutiny of branch operations through eTIMS, data-driven audits, and stricter reporting. As a result, branch compliance now requires not only meeting legal obligations but also managing risk, interpreting complex laws, and maintaining consistency across the organization.
Recent Finance Act amendments, digital service taxes, and sustainability levies have made branch taxation more complex. Professionals must address both local rules and global developments such as OECD BEPS initiatives affecting permanent establishments and cross-border branches.
This seminar will equip accountants, tax practitioners, and finance professionals with practical tools for effective branch taxation management. Through expert sessions, case studies, and discussions, participants will better understand compliance duties, emerging issues, and audit-readiness strategies, with emphasis on ethics, judgment, and proactive risk management.
By focusing on branch taxation, the seminar offers value beyond general compliance training. It helps participants reduce penalties, build stakeholder confidence, and align with best practices in a changing tax environment.
The seminar will cover the following topics:
Session 1: Taxation of Branch Operations in Kenya

Legal framework for branch taxation

Branch versus subsidiary: tax implications

Income attribution and branch profit determination

Tax treatment of foreign branches and permanent establishments under treaties

Session 2: Value Added Tax (VAT) Compliance for Branches

VAT registration, filing, and record keeping

Electronic invoicing (eTIMS) and digital VAT compliance

Common compliance pitfalls and audit exposure

Session 3: Withholding Tax and Statutory Deductions

PAYE, NSSF, NHIF, Housing Levy, and other statutory deductions

Compliance challenges and case studies

Managing penalties, interest, and late compliance risks

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

ISA for Less complex entities-webinar

ISA for Less complex entities
Date: 27th October 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
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.

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
