SUMMARY:Audit Quality Assurance Workshop-mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Quality Assurance Workshop – Mandatory Training\nDate: 22nd-23rd July 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm daily\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme: Strengthening Audit Quality for Public Trust & Professional Excellence \n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAudit Quality Assurance remains the cornerstone of public confidence in financial reporting and the credibility of the accounting profession. In Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly demanding environment characterized by heightened regulatory oversight\, frequent quality inspections\, complex reporting frameworks\, expanded stakeholder expectations\, and growing exposure to litigation and reputational risk. These realities place audit quality not just as a technical requirement\, but as a strategic professional imperative. \nDespite significant regulatory progress and the adoption of international auditing and quality management standards\, inspection findings and practice reviews continue to reveal persistent gaps in key areas such as audit planning\, risk assessment\, documentation quality\, use of professional judgment\, audit evidence\, ethical compliance\, and firm-level quality management systems. Many practitioners still grapple with balancing commercial pressures\, client expectations\, independence requirements\, and the need for consistent\, high-quality audit execution. \nIn the Kenyan context\, auditors must also contend with complex public sector engagements\, evolving corporate governance standards\, procurement-driven audit risks\, and weak internal control environments in some institutions. These dynamics heighten exposure to audit failure\, fraud risk\, and regulatory sanctions—underscoring the urgent need for continuous professional upskilling focused on practical audit quality assurance. \nThis 2-Day Virtual Audit Quality Assurance Symposium is therefore designed as a focused\, practical\, and capacity-building forum to strengthen the foundations of audit quality in Kenya. It will address the entire audit quality value chain—from engagement acceptance\, planning\, and risk assessment to execution\, reporting\, ethics\, and firm-wide quality management. The symposium will also emphasize regulatory expectations\, inspection readiness\, and proactive quality control as essential components of sustainable audit practice. \nThrough practitioner-led discussions\, regulatory insights\, case studies\, and experience-sharing\, participants will be equipped with practical tools\, renewed professional judgment\, and structured quality assurance approaches to enhance consistency\, reduce audit failure risk\, and reinforce compliance with international standards. Ultimately\, the symposium seeks to reposition audit quality as a professional culture—not merely a compliance obligation—anchored in integrity\, competence\, and accountability. \n\nAudit Quality as a Professional Culture\n\n\nPositioning audit quality beyond compliance into a firm-wide culture anchored on integrity\, objectivity\, and public interest responsibility.\n\n\nRisk-Based Audit Planning & Professional Judgment\n\n\nStrengthening auditors’ capacity to conduct robust risk assessments\, exercise sound professional judgment\, and design responsive audit strategies in complex and high-risk environments.\n\n\nAudit Execution\, Evidence & Documentation Excellence\n\n\nEnhancing the quality of audit testing\, audit evidence sufficiency\, and documentation standards to meet regulatory inspection expectations and withstand legal and professional scrutiny.\n\n\nEthics\, Independence & Managing Commercial Pressures\n\n\nReinforcing ethical compliance\, independence safeguards\, and conflict management amidst client pressure\, competition\, advocacy threats\, and economic constraints.\n\n\nFirm-Level Quality Management Systems (ISQM 1 & 2)\n\n\nPractical implementation of Quality Management Systems at the firm and engagement partner level\, focusing on leadership responsibility\, engagement quality reviews\, monitoring\, and continuous improvement.\n\n\nRegulatory Expectations\, Inspections & Practice Review Readiness\n\n\nPreparing practitioners for ICPAK and external regulator inspections through proactive quality controls\, common inspection findings\, remediation strategies\, and sustainable compliance approaches.\n\nTarget Audience  \nThe virtual symposium is not limited to accountancy only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking .We call on interested participants to note that booking for the event is available online at www.icpak.com  and will close two hours before the training session. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION\nTheme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit\, tax and advisory engagements\nDate: 12th – 14th August 2026\nTime: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe accountancy profession has undergone significant developments and experienced a lot of evolution over the past few years.  In recent years\, the global accounting profession has undergone significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements\, evolving regulatory frameworks\, increasing stakeholder expectations\, and the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethics. The audit environment has particularly experienced tremendous developments arising from the effect of new emerging and stringent regulations and standards among other social and economic developments.  This has also happened to the other areas of the profession which has necessitated the change of approach and tact in delivering professional accountancy engagements\, to align with rapid developments in technology\, geopolitical risks and stringent regulations. \nIn this dynamic environment\, audit practitioners\, tax professionals\, management consultants\, and accounting practitioners must remain agile and well-informed to maintain professional competence and deliver value to clients and stakeholders. This makes it imperative for practitioners to continually update their knowledge and skills in key emerging areas such as sustainability reporting and assurance\, artificial intelligence (AI)\, blockchain technology\, and Anti-Money Laundering Policies. \nIn Kenya\, we have witnessed growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators\, boards\, and the investing public following reported major frauds affecting the public such as KUSCCO and OAG reports on county expenditure. Practitioners consequently must shift towards risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance\, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Furthermore\, practitioners are today expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities\, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. Practitioners are also faced with challenges revolving around compliance with regulations such as KRA\, SASRA\, RBA and AML. \nAs practitioners face expanding roles and increased public scrutiny\, soft skills such as communication\, leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and client management are no longer optional; they are critical enablers of success. This forum is therefore designed not only to advance technical mastery but also to empower audit professionals to lead with confidence\, integrity\, and agility in today’s complex assurance landscape. \nIt is against this background that the Institute has organized a three-day forum to discuss these critical developments which affect the practitioners in the different categories of practice\, and the accountancy profession at large and seek to address the rising concerns of work quality while ensuring that efficiency in undertaking engagements is maintained.  The Annual Practitioners Convention aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing\, professional development\, and networking among Practitioners. The convention will focus on equipping practitioners with the latest insights and practical tools to enhance their service delivery in an increasingly complex business environment. The following topics will guide the discussions in the Convention: \nTOPICS \n\nGlobal trends in utilization of technology within the accountancy practice\nFuture Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade\nState of the accountancy profession in Africa- Trends for accountants in practice within various jurisdictions\nShifting landscape for practicing accountants: Utilization of technology for competitive advantage– AI\, Blockchain\, Audit Software\nOverview of the Unique Document Identification Number (UDIN)- Milestones and Opportunities\nAnti-Money Laundering and the Expanding Role of Auditors:\n\n\nAML Compliance by practitioners.\nAML frameworks and audit procedures for detecting red flags.\nEvaluating compliance with reporting obligations under AML laws.\nAuditor’s responsibilities in relation to reporting suspicious transactions.\n\n\nImplementation of firm and engagement level quality considerations – an in-depth assessment of the ISQM 1 and 2 requirements; ISA 220\nAudit approach and evaluation of audit considerations in line with changing standards- A focus on ISA 315 and ISA 500\nOverview of the taxation landscape and changing laws and the implications to practitioners\nOverview of the developments within the standard setting environment – international financial reporting standards\nOverview of the revised IFRS for SMEs\nAdvantages and approaches of adopting ISA for Less Complex Entities for Small & Medium Practices (SMPs) in Kenya\nGearing up for Sustainability Assurance for Practitioners In Kenya- Key Requirements and Way Forward\nSetting up of a firm and submitting winning bids- Positioning practitioners for success through development of responsive proposals\nKey findings of the Audit Quality Reviews – Major concerns and practical responses to the issues.\nFirm records management best practice guidelines and effective compliance to standards on reporting\nMental health for accounting practitioners during busy seasons\nSuccession planning for SMPs\nOverview of services rendered under the four categories of licenses and the practitioner’s tool kit;\n\n\nOverview of tools and methodologies from IFAC & PAFA \nChallenges and Opportunities for Small and Medium Practices – SMPs\n\nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the Conference sessions. \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nPrivate and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Tax Experts\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Extractive and SMEs sector accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in County Governments and private sectors\, Academia\, employees of the NPO Sector. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \n\n     2.     Delegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements \nONLINE BOOKING: \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the seminar is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking .

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. \nThe 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. \nTo 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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nTraining areas \n\nOverview of ICPAK Practice Reviews and areas of improvement\nISQM 1 and ISQM 2 Compliance\nEthics and Independence Requirements\nApplication of International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\nMonitoring and Internal Compliance Reviews\nAnti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing Compliance\nImplementation of Review Recommendations\nTechnology and Quality Management\n\nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Audit Staff Training-A Practical Approach (Mandatory Training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Staff Training-A practical Approach (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Future-Ready Auditors: Enhancing Quality\, Innovation and Trust.\nDate: 30th September -1st October 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe 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. \nGlobally\, 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. \nIn 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. \nAs 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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar\nDate: 13th October 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe 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. \nINPAS 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. \nA 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. \nThe 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. \nINPAS 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. \nOverall\, 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. \n Target Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:ANNUAL PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme: Transforming Public Sector Financial Reporting Management Through Innovation\, Accountability\, and Sustainable Governance\nDate: 26th  – 30th October 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Pride Inn Paradise Beach Hotel\, Mombasa\n \nOVERVIEW \nPublic 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. \nAs 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. \nThe 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. \nAt 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.

SUMMARY:The Future of The Accountancy Profession Webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nThe Future of The Accountancy Profession\nTheme: Shaping the Future of Accountancy: Artificial Intelligence\, Sustainability Reporting and Professional Ethics\nDate: 30th October 2026\nVenue: Virtual\nTime: 10:00am – 12:00Noon (EAT) \nOverview \nThe accountancy profession is experiencing a period of significant transformation driven by technological innovation\, evolving sustainability reporting requirements\, changing business models and heightened expectations of ethical leadership and accountability. As organisations navigate an increasingly complex operating environment\, accountants are expected to go beyond traditional financial reporting and compliance responsibilities to provide strategic insights\, strengthen governance\, support sustainable decision-making and safeguard public trust. \nArtificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies are changing how accounting and auditing activities are performed. From automating routine processes and analysing large datasets to identifying anomalies and supporting risk assessments\, these technologies offer opportunities to improve efficiency\, accuracy and the value of professional services. However\, their adoption also raises important considerations relating to data privacy\, confidentiality\, algorithmic bias\, professional judgement\, accountability and the need for appropriate human oversight. \nAt the same time\, sustainability reporting is becoming an increasingly important component of corporate accountability and decision-making. The introduction of sustainability disclosure standards\, including IFRS S1 and IFRS S2\, has increased the need for organisations to identify and disclose material sustainability-related risks and opportunities. This presents accountants with opportunities to support implementation\, strengthen reporting systems\, improve the reliability of sustainability information and contribute to assurance engagements. \nThese developments reinforce the importance of professional ethics\, integrity\, independence\, objectivity and professional competence. As the profession adopts new technologies and assumes broader responsibilities\, accountants must ensure that innovation and business transformation remain grounded in ethical conduct and the public interest. \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) will convene a high-impact expert webinar which will bring together experienced practitioners and thought leaders to examine the forces reshaping accountancy\, explore emerging opportunities and challenges\, and identify practical actions that professionals can take to remain relevant\, trusted and future-ready. \nThe session will provide a platform for knowledge exchange\, professional reflection and forward-looking discussion on the evolving role of accountants in a technology-driven\, sustainability-conscious and ethically demanding business environment. \nTopical areas of discussion: \n\nArtificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Accountancy\nSustainability Reporting and the Expanding Role of Accountants\nProfessional Ethics\, Trust and Accountability\nThe Future-Ready Accountant: Skills\, Opportunities and Professional Relevance\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nCPD Units \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar is free of charge \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNita Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:AML and CFT Audit webinar
DESCRIPTION:NSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAML and CFT Audit webinar\nDate: 3rd November  2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nConducting 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. \nThe 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. \nRisk 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. \nFieldwork 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. \nEvaluation 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. \nThe 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. \nTarget Audience: \nThe webinar will be useful to accountants\, auditors\, academia\, and other designated professionals interested AML and CFT audit \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:THE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2\nTheme: Advancing Trust & Credibility in a changing World\nHYBRID EVENT: PRIDE INN PARADISE HOTEL\, / TEMBO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE\, (PRIDE INN FLAMINGO) MOMBASA AND VIRTUAL\nDATES: MONDAY 9TH TO FRIDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST  \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters\, publication of books\, periodicals\, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute\, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies\, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting\, auditing and ethical standards. \nThe 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 1500 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. \nANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY \nFor over four decades\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has sustained a strong tradition of convening its members annually to reflect on the evolving accountancy profession and emerging issues shaping the national\, regional and global landscape. Since the inaugural Annual Seminar held in 1984\, the forum has grown into the Institute’s flagship professional development event\, symbolizing resilience\, unity and the profession’s unwavering commitment to the public interest. \nThis edition aims to discuss how trust and credibility remain fundamental to the functioning of economies\, institutions\, organizations and societies. In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world\, the ability of institutions and professionals to earn\, maintain and restore trust is becoming more important than ever. The global environment is being shaped by economic uncertainty\, technological disruption\, changing patterns of work\, sustainability challenges\, geopolitical developments and increasing demands for transparency and accountability. These changes are reshaping how governments\, businesses and professional institutions operate and how citizens and stakeholders assess their credibility. \nFor Kenya\, these developments come at a particularly important time. The country continues to pursue economic transformation while navigating fiscal pressures\, public debt\, changing global economic conditions\, institutional challenges and the need for sustainable and inclusive growth. At the same time\, organizations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate not only financial performance\, but also responsible leadership\, sustainability\, resilience and long-term value creation. Against this backdrop\, the accountancy profession has a critical role to play. Accountants and other professionals are entrusted with financial information\, public resources\, organizational decision-making and the assurance of credibility. Their responsibility therefore extends beyond technical compliance to include professional integrity\, ethical leadership\, accountability and the protection of the public interest. \nThe 43rd ICPAK Annual Seminar – Edition II therefore seeks to provide a high-level platform for professionals\, policymakers\, government leaders\, business leaders\, international organizations and other stakeholders to examine the changing nature of trust and credibility and the role of professionals in shaping Kenya’s future. \n\n\n\nDate\nTheme\nTopics\n\n\nDay One: Monday 9th Nov 2026\nArrival & Registration \nNetworking\n\n\nDay Two: Tuesday 10th Nov 2026\nNational Leadership & Governance \n1.    The Role of Professionals in Safeguarding Public Trust \n2.    National Leadership & Governance: The professional perspective \n3.    The role of professionals in driving National Transformation \n4.    Accountancy Profession’s Contribution to National Growth and Development \n5.    The Accountancy Profession’s Role in Building a Sustainable Future \n6.    Economic headwinds and resilience of the Nation \n7.    The role of professionals in entrenching good governance\, combating corruption and supporting the Zero- fault audit initiative \n8.    The Role of Professionals in Safeguarding Public Trust & Advancing National Growth and Transformation\n\n\nDay Three: Wednesday 11th Nov 2026\nThe Accountancy Profession \n1.    The role of accountants in restoring stakeholder confidence and trust through effective reporting \n2.    State of the accountancy profession in Africa \n3.    IPSAS Accrual Accounting: Overview of milestones and benefits in government migration to accrual accounting. \n4.    Sealing tax loopholes for enhanced government revenue generation \n5.    Overview of new and proposed KRA initiatives \n6.    Leadership in a Changing World: Rebuilding Public Trust and Confidence in Institutions\n\n\nDay Four: Thursday 12th Nov 2026\nSustainability\, Technology & Leadership \n1.    Adoption of IFRS S1 & S2 by Public Interest Entities (PIEs) \n2.    Building Organizations That Matter: Sustainability\, Purpose and Long-Term Value \n3.    Beyond Compliance: Why Sustainability Will Define the Competitiveness of Nations and Organizations \n4.    The Accountant of the Future: From Financial Stewardship to Value\, Trust and Sustainable Transformation \n5.    Positioning accountants as business leaders and trusted advisors: Panel discussion of CEOs & business leaders \n·         Leading integrational teams \n·         Transformational leadership practices \n6.    Technology\, Automation and the Changing Profession\n\n\nDay Five: Friday 13th Nov 2026\nPersonal Development \n1.    The Power of Wellbeing: Health\, Fitness and Wellness for a Thriving Professional Life \nFire Side Chat: Building resilience\, grit and endurance \n2.    Ethical Leadership: Accountability\, Integrity and the Choices we Make\n\n\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nCONFERENCE CHARGES \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Members\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Non-Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nBookings Deadline: Bookings close on Friday\, 6th November 2026 at 17:00 pm \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 43rd Annual Seminar Edition 2. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2\nTheme: Advancing Trust & Credibility in a changing World\nHYBRID EVENT: PRIDE INN PARADISE HOTEL\, / TEMBO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE\, (PRIDE INN FLAMINGO) MOMBASA AND VIRTUAL\nDATES: MONDAY 9TH TO FRIDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST  \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters\, publication of books\, periodicals\, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute\, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies\, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting\, auditing and ethical standards. \nThe 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 1500 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. \nANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY  \nFor over four decades\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has sustained a strong tradition of convening its members annually to reflect on the evolving accountancy profession and emerging issues shaping the national\, regional and global landscape. Since the inaugural Annual Seminar held in 1984\, the forum has grown into the Institute’s flagship professional development event\, symbolizing resilience\, unity and the profession’s unwavering commitment to the public interest. \nThis edition aims to discuss how trust and credibility remain fundamental to the functioning of economies\, institutions\, organizations and societies. In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world\, the ability of institutions and professionals to earn\, maintain and restore trust is becoming more important than ever. The global environment is being shaped by economic uncertainty\, technological disruption\, changing patterns of work\, sustainability challenges\, geopolitical developments and increasing demands for transparency and accountability. These changes are reshaping how governments\, businesses and professional institutions operate and how citizens and stakeholders assess their credibility. \nFor Kenya\, these developments come at a particularly important time. The country continues to pursue economic transformation while navigating fiscal pressures\, public debt\, changing global economic conditions\, institutional challenges and the need for sustainable and inclusive growth. At the same time\, organizations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate not only financial performance\, but also responsible leadership\, sustainability\, resilience and long-term value creation. Against this backdrop\, the accountancy profession has a critical role to play. Accountants and other professionals are entrusted with financial information\, public resources\, organizational decision-making and the assurance of credibility. Their responsibility therefore extends beyond technical compliance to include professional integrity\, ethical leadership\, accountability and the protection of the public interest. \nThe 43rd ICPAK Annual Seminar – Edition II therefore seeks to provide a high-level platform for professionals\, policymakers\, government leaders\, business leaders\, international organizations and other stakeholders to examine the changing nature of trust and credibility and the role of professionals in shaping Kenya’s future. \n\n\n\nDate\nTheme\nTopics\n\n\nDay One: Monday 9th Nov 2026\nArrival & Registration \nNetworking\n\n\nDay Two: Tuesday 10th Nov 2026\nNational Leadership & Governance \n1.    The Role of Professionals in Safeguarding Public Trust \n2.    National Leadership & Governance: The professional perspective \n3.    The role of professionals in driving National Transformation \n4.    Accountancy Profession’s Contribution to National Growth and Development \n5.    The Accountancy Profession’s Role in Building a Sustainable Future \n6.    Economic headwinds and resilience of the Nation \n7.    The role of professionals in entrenching good governance\, combating corruption and supporting the Zero- fault audit initiative \n8.    The Role of Professionals in Safeguarding Public Trust & Advancing National Growth and Transformation\n\n\nDay Three: Wednesday 11th Nov 2026\nThe Accountancy Profession \n1.    The role of accountants in restoring stakeholder confidence and trust through effective reporting \n2.    State of the accountancy profession in Africa \n3.    IPSAS Accrual Accounting: Overview of milestones and benefits in government migration to accrual accounting. \n4.    Sealing tax loopholes for enhanced government revenue generation \n5.    Overview of new and proposed KRA initiatives \n6.    Leadership in a Changing World: Rebuilding Public Trust and Confidence in Institutions\n\n\nDay Four: Thursday 12th Nov 2026\nSustainability\, Technology & Leadership \n1.    Adoption of IFRS S1 & S2 by Public Interest Entities (PIEs) \n2.    Building Organizations That Matter: Sustainability\, Purpose and Long-Term Value \n3.    Beyond Compliance: Why Sustainability Will Define the Competitiveness of Nations and Organizations \n4.    The Accountant of the Future: From Financial Stewardship to Value\, Trust and Sustainable Transformation \n5.    Positioning accountants as business leaders and trusted advisors: Panel discussion of CEOs & business leaders \n·         Leading integrational teams \n·         Transformational leadership practices \n6.    Technology\, Automation and the Changing Profession\n\n\nDay Five: Friday 13th Nov 2026\nPersonal Development \n1.    The Power of Wellbeing: Health\, Fitness and Wellness for a Thriving Professional Life \nFire Side Chat: Building resilience\, grit and endurance \n2.    Ethical Leadership: Accountability\, Integrity and the Choices we Make\n\n\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nCONFERENCE CHARGES \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Members\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Non-Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nBookings Deadline: Bookings close on Friday\, 6th November 2026 at 17:00 pm \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 43rd Annual Seminar Edition 2. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:ISA 220- Quality control for an audit of financial statements webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISA 220- Quality control for an audit of Financial Statements Webinar\nDate: 10th November  2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nThe 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. \nRecognizing 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. \nISA 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. \nAs 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. \nThis 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. \n\nUnderstanding the New Quality Management Framework\nCommon challenges and lessons learned in establishing effective quality management systems.\nInteraction between ISA 220 (Revised)\, ISQM 1\, and ISQM 2\nLeadership responsibilities for managing and achieving quality on audits\nFirms system of quality management and role of engagement teams\nRelevant ethical requirements\, including those related to independence\nRole and responsibilities of the engagement partner\nConsultation & documentation requirements\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:ICPAK /EACC -FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS MASTERCLASS BEYOND THE NUMBERS: FORENSIC ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\nAND\nTHE KENYA ETHICS AND ANTI-CORRUPTION ACADEMY \nFINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS MASTERCLASS\nBEYOND THE NUMBERS: FORENSIC ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION\nTheme: Follow the Money: From Financial Red Flags to Evidence\n23RD – 27TH NOVEMBER 2026\nSarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nFinancial crime increasingly involves complex transactions\, sophisticated corporate structures\, multiple jurisdictions\, digital financial platforms and emerging technologies. Fraud\, corruption\, money laundering\, illicit enrichment\, procurement-related financial crime and other economic offences frequently leave a financial trail that\, when properly identified\, analyzed and interpreted\, can provide critical evidence for investigation\, prosecution and asset recovery. \nFinancial investigation therefore plays a critical role in moving beyond the identification of an offence to establishing how the money was generated\, where it went\, who benefited\, what assets were acquired and how the financial trail can be converted into admissible and actionable evidence. \nThe ability to “follow the money” requires more than conventional accounting knowledge. Investigators\, accountants\, auditors\, financial analysts and other practitioners must be able to identify financial red flags\, obtain and evaluate financial information\, analyse transactions\, trace funds and assets\, identify beneficial ownership\, construct financial relationships and communicate complex financial findings clearly. \nThe increasing use of digital financial services and virtual assets has further transformed the financial investigation landscape. Investigators and financial professionals must therefore understand emerging financial crime typologies\, digital transactions\, virtual assets\, data analytics and the investigative opportunities and challenges presented by technology. \nAt the same time\, effective financial investigations increasingly depend on collaboration among investigators\, accountants\, auditors\, financial intelligence professionals\, regulators\, prosecutors\, asset-recovery practitioners and other agencies. Cross-border transactions and sophisticated financial structures make inter-agency and international cooperation essential to successful financial investigations. \nThe Financial Investigations Masterclass is therefore designed to strengthen the practical capacity of professionals involved in detecting\, investigating and responding to financial crime. The five-day programme will take participants through the financial investigation journey—from the identification of the first financial red flag\, through intelligence gathering and financial analysis\, to evidence development\, case-file preparation\, courtroom presentation and asset recovery. \nThe Masterclass adopts a highly practical “Follow the Money” approach\, combining expert-led sessions\, case studies\, practical exercises\, simulations\, group work and peer learning. Participants will work progressively through a practical case study\, applying the concepts and techniques introduced during the programme. \nThe Masterclass is intended not merely to impart knowledge\, but to equip participants with practical tools that can be applied in their respective professional environments. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Financial Investigation: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL CRIME & RECOGNISING FINANCIAL RED FLAGS\n·         Concept of Financial Investigation & Forensic Accounting \n·         Financial Crime\, Fraud Schemes and Red Flags \n·         Sources of Financial Information & Investigative Intelligence\nParticipants will be introduced to the concepts\, principles and purpose of financial investigation and forensic accounting\, including the distinction between financial investigation\, audit and forensic accounting and the role of accountants in financial investigations.

Participants will explore methods of corroborating financial findings using documentary\, witness and expert evidence\, as well as inter-agency and cross-border cooperation. Key areas will include asset identification and tracing\, beneficial ownership\, related companies and connected persons\, lifestyle analysis and unexplained wealth. A practical case study will enable participants to apply the follow-the-money methodology to identify financial flows\, beneficiaries\, assets and potential proceeds. \n  \n \n\n\nDAY 4 \nD.   FINANCIAL EVIDENCE\, REPORTING & EMERGING FINANCIAL CRIME RISKS\n·         Financial Evidence & Evidence File Preparation \n·         Financial Investigation Report Writing \n·         Emerging Financial Crime Risks & the Future of Financial Investigations – Panel Discussion\nParticipants will learn how to convert financial analysis into structured\, reliable and defensible evidence.
