They address the evolving and increasingly complex audit ecosystem\, including growing stakeholder expectations and a need for quality management systems that are proactive and adaptable. From an audit and assurance perspective\, it is important to note that concerns on audit quality continue to be a key issue that is still drawing critical attention from the public and other stakeholders who rely on audited financial statements to make key business decisions and judgements. \nWhile it is crucial to address these quality considerations\, there needs to be an element of efficiency and cost optimization in the delivery of all audit and advisory engagements.  This is a critical consideration which the practitioners must give to their work as they endeavor to deliver the best service to their clients. \nIt is against this background that the Institute has organized a three-day seminar to discuss these critical developments which affect the practitioners in the different categories of practice\, and the accountancy profession at large and seeks to address the rising concerns of work quality while ensuring that efficiency in undertaking engagements is maintained.  To guide the discussion during this seminar\, the following topics of discussion will form the focus of this event. \nTopics \n\nImplementation of ISA for LCEs Globally; Challenges & opportunities\nOverview of the second and third edition of IFRS for SMEs\nImplementation of firm and engagement level quality considerations – an in-depth assessment of the ISQM 1 and 2 requirements: Sharing of experiences on Firm risk assessment and Monitoring & remediation\nEngagement partner and engagement team’s responsibilities for quality management for an audit of financial statements as per ISA 220\nCode of Ethics for Professional Accountants- A focus on recent amendments by IESBA\nMandatory Rotation of Audit Firms\nOverview of the taxation landscape and changing laws and the implications to audit firms partners\nOverview of the developments within the standard setting environment- New standards- IFRS 18\, 19\, ISSA 5000\nIFRS S1 &S2: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and Climate-related Disclosures\nAdvancing Public Sector Sustainability Reporting: Sustainability reporting for the public sector and overview of IPSASB’s Exposure Draft 83 on Reporting Sustainability Program Information for the public sector\nIPSAS 33 – First-time Adoption of Accrual Basis IPSASs: Key requirements for Kenya’s Public Sector transition to the Accrual Basis of Accounting\nKey findings from the ICPAK Audit Quality Reviews – Major concerns and practical responses to the issues.\nTechnological advancements and leveraging the digital space to enhance delivery of the required efficiencies and quality in audit engagements.\nStress management and effective work life balance for accounting professionals\nIntegrity and ethical considerations for audit\, assurance and advisory practitioners\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 seminar sessions. \nTarget Audience: \nAudit Firm Partners and Staff\, CEO\, CFOs\, Heads of Finance & Accounting Units\, Heads of Audit\, Chief Risk Officers\, Board Members\, Accountants employed  in all ranks and sectors and other interested participants \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Ksh 15\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Conference participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

This is because high-quality audit is essential to secure the reliability of financial statements of an organization as well as in fostering trust with internal and external stakeholders and the public. The International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB)\, form the cornerstone of high-quality audit practices internationally. \nWith the profound complexity of business transactions and ever-increasing demands from the regulators\, policy makers\, investors\, and the public\, it is incumbent upon auditors today to consistently apply ISAs in executing their duties. This is important for them if they were to continue delivering not only robust but also credible assurance services to their clients in a highly competitive environment. The need for deeper understanding and application of ISAs has never been more critical in a globalized environment of today where convergence of audit practices is the norm rather than exception. \nIt is therefore\, imperative that auditing and assurance practitioners’ skill sets are continuously nurtured and developed to keep abreast with the fundamental changes and developments affecting ISAs and how these changes affect their engagements. It is against this background that the Institute has organized a two-day virtual training course designed to strengthen the practical knowledge and application of ISAs among audit practitioners\, regulators and public finance professionals. It will provide deep insights into key audit standards while highlighting recent development as well as exploring real -world challenges and solutions in the applications of ISAs. To guide the discussion during the Seminar\, the following topics of discussion will form the focus of this very important virtual event. \ni. Overview of ISA and IAASB framework: understanding the structure\, authority and application of the ISAs\nii.

Audit managers and supervisors now find themselves at the center of this shift\, tasked with ensuring audit quality\, mentoring teams\, and upholding ethical and professional standards\, while also adapting to digital innovations and evolving business risks. \nThe integration of technology has brought greater efficiency and analytical power to the audit process\, yet it has also created new challenges. Sophisticated fraud schemes\, cyber risks\, and the complexities of auditing technology-enabled business models require supervisors to adopt stronger oversight practices. At the same time\, the new International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 & 2) emphasize accountability\, leadership\, and risk-based approaches\, underscoring the critical role of supervisors in ensuring consistent quality across engagements. \nBeyond technical competence\, effective supervision now demands strong leadership\, the ability to manage diverse teams\, and the skill to navigate difficult client relationships and regulatory expectations. Supervisors are expected to model professional skepticism\, integrate technology responsibly\, and foster a culture of integrity and continuous improvement within audit firms and institutions. \nTo equip professionals for these responsibilities\, ICPAK has designed a two-day virtual symposium tailored to audit managers and supervisors. The symposium will blend technical learning\, leadership development\, case-based analysis\, and practical strategies to help participants strengthen their supervisory capacity. The sessions will explore risk-based audit supervision\, the application of digital tools\, ethical and regulatory developments\, and best practices drawn from real-world scenarios. The goal is to empower participants with the tools\, insights\, and confidence to lead audit teams effectively\, enhance audit quality\, and contribute to institutional resilience in a dynamic environment. \nThe training is designed to cover the following topics: \n1: The Evolving Role of Audit Managers & Supervisors \n\nSupervisory responsibilities under ISAs and ISQM requirements.\nBalancing technical excellence with leadership responsibilities.\nBuilding a culture of audit quality and accountability.\n\n 2: Audit Quality and Risk-Based Audit Approaches \n\nEmbedding ISQM 1 & 2 into supervisory practice.\nEffective planning and risk assessment.\nTechniques for reviewing audit work to ensure accuracy and completeness.\n\n 3: Supervisory & Leadership Skills for Audit Managers \n\nDelegation\, coaching\, and motivating audit teams.\nConflict resolution and managing diverse teams.\nEffective communication with partners\, clients\, and audit staff.\n\nSession 4: Leveraging Technology in Audit Supervision \n\nRole of data analytics\, AI\, and audit software in modern audits.\nSupervisory responsibilities in technology-driven audits.\nChallenges and opportunities in digital transformation of audit.\n\n5: Ethics\, Professional Skepticism\, and Regulatory Updates \n\nManaging independence threats and ethical dilemmas.\nReinforcing professional skepticism at supervisory level.\nUpdates from regulators\, ICPAK\, and international bodies.\n\n 6: Practical Case Studies & Best Practices \n\nReal-world supervisory challenges in audit.\nLessons learned from engagement reviews and regulatory inspections.\nPanel discussion and peer exchange on supervisory excellence.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain are redefining traditional banking models\, offering enhanced efficiency and customer-centric solutions. Simultaneously\, regulatory bodies worldwide are introducing new standards to ensure transparency\, sustainability\, and resilience in financial operations. These global trends underscore the imperative for financial institutions to adapt and innovate to remain competitive and relevant. \nIn Kenya\, the financial sector mirrors these global dynamics. The rise of fintech innovations has expanded financial inclusion\, yet challenges persist\, including a significant increase in non-performing loans (NPLs)\, which reached 16.4% by December 2024\, the highest in a decade. This underscores the need for robust credit risk management and adherence to regulatory guidelines. \nDigital innovation continues to reshape financial services\, enhancing accessibility and efficiency. However\, this digital shift introduces cybersecurity risks\, necessitating comprehensive risk management strategies. Moreover\, the integration of Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) considerations into financial decision-making is becoming increasingly critical\, aligning with global sustainability goals. \nThe Financial Services Sector Conference 2025 aims to provide a platform for stakeholders to deliberate on these dynamics\, fostering innovation\, resilience\, and sustainable growth within the sector. Discussions will encompass strategies for effective risk management\, regulatory compliance\, technological advancements\, and sustainable finance practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   ESG & Sustainable Finance Integration\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Objective of IFRS S1 & S2 \n·         Aligning with IFRS S1/S2: governance\, strategy\, risk management\, metrics \n·         Sustainable investment\, green bonds\, and ESG-linked lending frameworks \n·         Measuring and reporting climate risk and impact metrics \n·         Social impact measurement: financing MSMEs\, rural banking\, and community development \n \n\n\nB.   Enhancing Governance and Accountability \n \n·         Systemic lessons from the KUSCCO fraud: broad governance failures and recovery approaches \n·         Best practices in board and committee oversight for financial institutions and cooperatives \n·         Strengthening professional ethics\, whistleblowing mechanisms\, and stakeholder transparency \n·         Role of audit and compliance functions in safeguarding integrity \n \n\n\nC.   Materiality Assessment for Sustainability reporting\n·         Definition and Concept of Materiality \n·         Materiality Judgment Process \n·         Sources of Information \n·         Boundary of reporting \n·         Integration with Risk and Opportunity Assessment \n·         Documentation and Audit Trail\n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Integrating Sustainability into the Corporate Strategy\n·         Developing a Sustainability Strategy \n·         Setting sustainability goals & action plans \n·         Aligning sustainability initiatives with business strategy \n·         Ethical considerations in sustainability disclosures \n·         Setting and evaluating sustainability KPIs \n·         Common reporting pitfalls & how to avoid them\n\n\nE.   Holistic Enterprise Risk Management \n \n·         Integrating credit\, liquidity\, operational\, and climate risks under one ERM framework \n·         Scenario planning and stress-testing in diverse financial entities \n·         Building a risk-aware culture across banks\, SACCOs\, insurers\, and fintechs \n·         Oversight roles: board\, risk committees\, and internal audit considerations \n \n\n\nF.   Data Governance & Analytics for Decision-making \n \n·         Kenya Data Protection Act (2019) Implementation \n·         Alignment with GDPR Principles \n·         Enterprise Data Governance Frameworks \n·         Ethical AI/ML and Analytics Compliance \n \n\n\n\n Target Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

Businesses are now expected to disclose not only financial performance but also the impact of their operations on the planet and society. In response to this shift\, international standards IFRS S1 and S2 have been developed to offer a consistent and comparable framework for sustainability disclosures. The adoption of newly developed sustainability standards is not merely an organizational development initiative; it is critical for fostering a resilient economy at large\, impacting both private businesses and the public sector. \nAt the same time\, the accounting profession is facing new ethical challenges. Greenwashing\, greenhushing\, and conflicts of interest have emerged as major concerns in the sustainability space\, leading to misinformation and a loss of stakeholder trust. To address this\, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) introduced new ethics and independence standards under the IESSA (International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance) framework. These standards aim to guide professional accountants and assurance providers in maintaining integrity\, transparency\, and public interest when dealing with sustainability-related engagements. \nLocally\, feedback from the FiRe Award—East Africa’s most prestigious financial reporting excellence recognition award— has shown that while many organizations are making progress in sustainability reporting\, there are still significant gaps. These include weak board involvement\, inconsistent data presentation\, and poor linkage between strategy and reported outcomes. This workshop responds to those gaps by equipping personnel with practical skills\, real-world scenarios\, and ethical frameworks for quality sustainability reporting. \nThe sessions will offer targeted insights into sustainability reporting for various entities\, acknowledging that different entities require tailored approaches. \nThe workshop is designed to be interactive\, insightful\, and practical\, enabling participants to not only understand the evolving sustainability landscape but also take the lead in shaping it within their roles. \n LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Introduction to IFRS S1 & S2\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Objective of IFRS S1 & S2 \n·         Introduction to the Core content pillars \n·         Relationship with Other Standards \n \n\n\nB.   General requirements \n·         General requirements \n  \no   Sources of Guidance \no   Location of Disclosures \no   Timing of reporting \no   Comparative information \no   Statement of Compliance \no   Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \no   Best practices in data collection \no   Building capacity within the organization \no   Transition Reliefs \n \n\n\nC.   Core Content: Governance\n·         The Role of Governance Disclosures in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Foundational Concepts \n·         Governance Disclosures under IFRS S1: \n  \no   Deep Dive: Board-Level Governance \no   Deep Dive: Management’s Role \n  \n·         Sample governance disclosure formats\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 2\nD.   Core Content: Risk Management\n·         Required Disclosures \n·         Risk Identification and Assessment \n·         Risk Mitigation and Control \n·         Link to Strategy and Metrics \n·         Walkthrough of a risk disclosure template\n\n\nE.     Core Content: Strategy\n·         The Role of Strategy in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Positioning strategy as the bridge between governance and risk \n·         Scope of Strategic Disclosures \n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Practical Tools and Disclosure Techniques \n \n\n\nF.   Core Content: Metrics and Targets\n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions \n·         Cross-Industry Metrics \n·         Industry-Based Metrics \n·         Climate-Related Targets\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover course fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking:\nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.

This workshop responds to those gaps by equipping personnel with practical skills\, real-world scenarios\, and ethical frameworks for quality sustainability reporting. \nThe sessions will offer targeted insights into sustainability reporting for various entities\, acknowledging that different entities require tailored approaches. \nThe workshop is designed to be interactive\, insightful\, and practical\, enabling participants to not only understand the evolving sustainability landscape but also take the lead in shaping it within their roles. \n LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Introduction to IFRS S1 & S2\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Objective of IFRS S1 & S2 \n·         Introduction to the Core content pillars \n·         Relationship with Other Standards \n \n\n\nB.   General requirements \n·         General requirements \n  \no   Sources of Guidance \no   Location of Disclosures \no   Timing of reporting \no   Comparative information \no   Statement of Compliance \no   Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \no   Best practices in data collection \no   Building capacity within the organization \no   Transition Reliefs \n \n\n\nC.   Core Content: Governance\n·         The Role of Governance Disclosures in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Foundational Concepts \n·         Governance Disclosures under IFRS S1: \n  \no   Deep Dive: Board-Level Governance \no   Deep Dive: Management’s Role \n  \n·         Sample governance disclosure formats\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 2\nD.   Core Content: Risk Management\n·         Required Disclosures \n·         Risk Identification and Assessment \n·         Risk Mitigation and Control \n·         Link to Strategy and Metrics \n·         Walkthrough of a risk disclosure template\n\n\nE.     Core Content: Strategy\n·         The Role of Strategy in Sustainability Reporting \n·         Positioning strategy as the bridge between governance and risk \n·         Scope of Strategic Disclosures \n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Practical Tools and Disclosure Techniques \n \n\n\nF.   Core Content: Metrics and Targets\n·         Core Disclosure Requirements \n·         Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions \n·         Cross-Industry Metrics \n·         Industry-Based Metrics \n·         Climate-Related Targets\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover course fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking:\nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.

However\, this transformation has also introduced sophisticated and evolving methods of fraud. Technology aided fraud has grown in complexity and scale often exploiting system vulnerabilities\, human behavior\, and jurisdictional gaps. Fraudsters are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence\, social engineering\, malware\, and blockchain platforms to commit crimes that are difficult to detect and mitigate using traditional control systems. \nNotable fraud trends include cybercrime\, phishing attacks\, business email compromise\, deepfake impersonations\, synthetic identity fraud\, and cryptocurrency-based scams. These schemes often operate across borders and take advantage of the anonymity and decentralization that technology offers. In addition\, the misuse of legitimate digital tools such as encryption and instant payment systems can facilitate fraud when governance structures are weak or outdated. This has created an urgent need for more agile and robust approaches to fraud risk management. \nOn the other hand\, technology also presents significant opportunities for combating fraud. Tools such as advanced data analytics\, artificial intelligence\, real-time transaction monitoring\, and digital forensics can enhance detection\, response\, and prevention capabilities. However\, organizations face major challenges\, including rapid technological change\, limited cybersecurity expertise\, data privacy constraints\, and a lack of coordination between stakeholders. These challenges can hinder the effective use of technology in fraud prevention efforts\, especially in environments where regulatory frameworks have not kept pace with innovation. \nTo address these emerging risks and build capacity within the profession\, ICPAK is conducting this training to enhance awareness and equip participants with the knowledge and practical tools needed to navigate technology-aided fraud. The training will cover the latest fraud trends\, digital vulnerabilities\, emerging prevention technologies\, and strategic responses to strengthen institutional resilience. It aims to foster a proactive mindset and build technical competence among professionals to effectively mitigate the evolving threats posed by fraud in the digital era. The following key areas will be covered: \n\nOverview of Technology-Aided Fraud\nEmerging Trends and Techniques in Digital Fraud\nSocial Engineering and Insider Threats\nChallenges in Combating Fraud Using Technology\nTechnology as a Tool for Fraud Prevention and Detection\nDigital Governance and Risk Management Frameworks\nLegal\, Regulatory\, and Ethical Considerations\nPractical Case Studies and Emerging Best Practices\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.

The 2023 Global Risks Report by the World Economic Forum underscores the gravity of this reality\, identifying the cost-of-living crisis\, natural disasters and extreme weather events\, and geo-economic confrontations among the most pressing global risks in the near term. Simultaneously\, the accelerating pace of digital transformation continues to introduce new vulnerabilities such as cyber security threats and data privacy concerns. \nThese developments have heightened the need for innovative\, integrated\, and responsive approaches to risk management. Closer to home\, the Kenyan business landscape has become increasingly volatile\, with many organizations scaling down or relocating operations—resulting in job losses\, reduced tax revenues\, and weaker overall economic performance. These challenges are compounded by rapid shifts in the social\, political\, legal\, and technological environment. Navigating this turbulence calls for agile leadership and adaptive risk management strategies. More than ever\, the ability of professionals to anticipate\, identify\, assess\, and respond decisively to risks has become a critical determinant of organizational resilience\, competitiveness\, and long-term growth. \nEnterprise Risk Management (ERM) offers a holistic and structured framework for addressing these challenges. Unlike traditional risk management approaches\, ERM embeds risk considerations into all facets of an organization’s strategy and operations\, fostering a culture of accountability\, resilience\, and sustainable performance. A well-implemented ERM framework enables organizations to manage risks comprehensively and cohesively\, thereby reducing earnings and stock price volatility\, enhancing operational efficiency\, and ultimately strengthening firm performance and value. This has a positive ripple effect on returns to investors and shareholders\, while contributing to broader economic growth. \nTherefore\, this Masterclass is designed to equip delegates with critical knowledge and practical insights to effectively identify\, assess\, and respond to emerging and complex risks facing their organizations. In addition\, it will provide a valuable platform for delegates to engage\, exchange ideas\, and network with fellow professionals in the risk management field. Ultimately\, the program aims to empower participants to drive organizational resilience\, enhance competitiveness\, and foster sustainable value in today’s dynamic and rapidly evolving business environment. \nPlease note that the award of the certificate and the 20 CPD points will be contingent upon successful completion of an individual assessment based on the key learning areas covered in the Masterclass. \nThe Masterclass is divided into the following five modules covering key fundamental learning areas: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nFoundation

Besides providing CFOs with a clear view of business drivers\, AI creates the much-needed link between financial strategy and overall business growth plans. AI driven predictive analytics have revolutionized decision making through forward looking insights marking the departure from the common practice of the CFO relying on backward-looking reports.\nAs the CFO role evolves from merely being a financial custodian to a strategic growth enabler\, better visibility of the emerging risks and speedy response to changing strategic factors is imperative. AI has continuously penetrated parts of the enterprise that had been dominated by human judgement creating room for discomfort among finance teams as they raise concerns about the value of their contribution in an AI-first finance function. For many finance teams especially the ones in the lower ranks\, the adoption of AI is perceived as a great shift of the nature of work that in all probability could render their jobs obsolete. Dealing with the finance teams’ anxiety about the push for AI represents one of the major challenges that the modern CFO face when pursuing the ambition to explore and capitalize on high-impact AI use cases across the organization. \nThe best AI solution comes from the best data\, and the best data comes from a unified suite of technology that centralizes data from every corner of the enterprise. Widespread AI adoption will require businesses to embrace AI governance across the data lifecycle to provide confidence to all stakeholders. Because of this\, when looking at managing and governing the deployment of AI solutions\, CFOs must prioritize data governance to mitigate sensitive data related risks. The evolution of AI is nothing short of a revolutionary shift of how CFOs foster innovation and streamline processes while balancing opportunities and challenges along the journey towards an AI enabled future. The CFO Forum discussions will be centered around the following key thematic areas: \n1) How is the CFO’s role changing with AI adoption\n2) Navigating potential challenges when adopting AI – Current user perspective\n3) The role of AI in driving strategic growth\n4) Strategies for easing AI adoption skepticism among the Finance Teams\n5) Data governance for AI – Challenges and best practice\n6) Practical AI product tour/Demo \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units):\nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 7 CPD Units upon successfully attending the Forum \nTarget Audience:\nCEOs\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors \nCost:\nCharges for the Forum will be Kes. 8\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nSponsored by: URL:https://www.icpak.com/event/the-cfo-forum/ LOCATION:Villa Rosa Kempinski Hotel\, Westlands\, Nairobi CATEGORIES:Local Seminars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Moscow:20251105T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Moscow:20251105T153000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205252 CREATED:20251030T111531Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260213T130154Z UID:10003211-1762333200-1762356600@www.icpak.com SUMMARY:Risk registers development course (virtual option) DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRisk Register Development Course (virtual Option)\nHybrid Event – CPA Centre and Virtual\n5th – 6th November 2025\nTheme- Strengthening Governance Through Effective Risk Register Development\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOverview \nRisk register development is a vital element of robust risk management and a cornerstone of organizational resilience. It offers a systematic and proactive method for identifying\, analyzing\, prioritizing\, and responding to risks that could impede the achievement of both strategic and operational goals. A well-designed risk register gives organizations clear visibility into potential threats\, facilitates accountability by assigning risk ownership\, and supports the tracking of mitigation actions. This process not only enhances the quality of decision-making but also encourages strong governance practices and cultivates a culture rooted in transparency and preparedness. \nAn effective risk register goes beyond simply recording risks. It should be built on a solid framework that classifies risks into categories\, applies clear assessment criteria such as likelihood and impact\, and links each identified risk to mitigation strategies and internal controls. To ensure its continued relevance\, the risk register must be dynamic\, evolving with changes in internal processes and the external environment. Integrating the risk register within a broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework ensures alignment with strategic objectives\, regulatory compliance\, and improved institutional accountability. \nCreating and maintaining a risk register is central to proactive risk management. It serves as a practical tool for identifying and monitoring risks throughout a project or across an organization. By documenting risks systematically and aligning them with mitigation strategies\, teams are better prepared to anticipate disruptions and allocate resources strategically. This contributes to more informed decision-making and reduces uncertainty by offering a clear\, up-to-date picture of potential threats and responses. Ultimately\, the risk register helps strengthen resilience and improve the chances of achieving long-term objectives. \nIn today’s complex and fast-changing business environment\, risk is no longer confined to isolated areas. Emerging challenges like cybersecurity threats\, geopolitical unrest\, regulatory shifts\, and climate-related disruptions are deeply interconnected. Treating risks as standalone issues\, especially through outdated spreadsheet-based registers\, can leave organizations vulnerable to cascading impacts. To adapt\, organizations must adopt modern risk management technologies\, such as integrated Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance (GRC) platforms. These systems offer real-time tracking\, risk interconnection mapping\, and enhanced scenario analysis\, transforming traditional registers into strategic decision-making tools. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this training to equip delegates with practical skills for developing modern\, globally aligned risk registers that meet today’s organizational demands. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics: \n\n Foundations of Risk Management for Accountants\n Structure and Components of an Effective Risk Register\n\n\nKey elements of a comprehensive risk register\, including risk description\, categories\, controls\, and mitigation strategies.\n\n\n Risk Identification Techniques and Stakeholder Engagement\n Risk Classification and Significance\n\n\nTypes of risks: strategic\, operational\, financial\, and compliance.\nRisk reputation and their impact on organizational performance.\n\n\n Effective Risk Assessment and Prioritization Techniques\n Strategic Risk Response and Mitigation Planning\n From Static to Strategic: Evolving the Risk Register – transforming traditional risk registers into dynamic tools that support integrated decision-making and real-time responsiveness.\n\n8.Leveraging Technology: GRC and Cloud-Based Risk Management – Utilizing Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance platforms and cloud-based solutions to improve risk tracking\, visualization\, and reporting. \n\n Professional Ethics and the Accountant’s Role in Risk Governance \n Developing and Reviewing Risk Registers Through Case Studies\n Conducting Scenario Analysis for Interrelated Risks\n\nTarget Audience: \nRisk Managers and Compliance Officers\, Risk Champions\, CFOs\, Accountants and other interested professionals \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost:\nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover course fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking:\nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.
