FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR COUNTY GOVERNMENTS AND OTHER PUBLIC-SECTOR ENTITIES 2026
2026-03-23 09:00 - 2026-03-27 15:30 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa Mombasa, Mombasa
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR COUNTY GOVERNMENTS & OTHER PUBLIC-SECTOR ENTITIES 2026
Date: 23rd -27th March 2026
Venue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort, Mombasa
Theme: Strengthening Public Sector Accountability through Enhanced Financial Reporting Practices
OVERVIEW
High-quality financial reporting remains a cornerstone of good governance, prudent resource management, and public accountability across County Governments and public-sector institutions. In a context where citizens increasingly demand transparency and evidence-based decision-making, financial reports must provide a clear, accurate, and comprehensive reflection of how public resources have been planned, allocated, and utilized. Robust reporting enhances credibility, supports better oversight, and enables institutions to demonstrate stewardship over assets, liabilities, and public funds. As governance evolves, financial reporting is no longer a routine administrative function but a strategic tool that directly influences trust, service delivery, and institutional legitimacy.
Effective financial reporting requires more than compiling figures at year-end. It is built on well-structured processes, a strong internal control environment, and adherence to established standards such as those issued by the Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (PSASB), which align with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This includes consistent application of recognition, measurement, and disclosure principles; maintenance of reliable asset registers; regular reconciliations; and preparation of budgets that clearly articulate strategic priorities. When executed properly, these standards enhance comparability across public institutions and strengthen compliance with statutory requirements under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and its associated regulations.
Despite advancements in public financial management reforms, County Governments and public-sector entities continue to face persistent challenges that undermine the quality of financial statements. These include incomplete asset valuation exercises, pending bills, irregular expenditure, weak documentation, limited automation, skills gaps, and inconsistencies in applying IPSAS-compliant templates. Such challenges contribute to recurring audit queries, delay in reporting, reduced fiscal discipline, and diminished public trust. Addressing these issues requires targeted interventions, capacity building, and leadership commitment to improving financial management systems and practices.
The public sector now operates in a dynamic environment shaped by evolving regulations, heightened audit expectations, technological disruption, and increased scrutiny from citizens and oversight bodies. Complex issues such as climate-related disclosures, budget execution pressures, stalled development projects, and governance risks demand robust and forward-looking reporting frameworks. County Governments must adopt modern approaches that integrate financial data with risk, performance, and service delivery information. Strengthening these linkages ensures that financial reports are not only compliant but also relevant, insightful, and aligned with national development agendas.
Furthermore, dependence on traditional manual processes exposes entities to errors, inefficiencies, and compliance challenges. Emerging digital solutions—including integrated financial management systems (such as IFMIS), digital asset registers, automated reconciliations, and analytics tools—offer opportunities to enhance accuracy, timeliness, and transparency. The adoption of these tools, supported by trained professionals and sound internal controls, enables institutions to transition from reactive financial reporting to proactive, data-driven decision-making. This transformation strengthens accountability, supports evidence-based budgeting, and ensures that public resources are managed responsibly.
In response to these developments, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this comprehensive program to build the technical and practical competencies required for preparing high-quality financial statements in line with PSASB and reporting requirements. The training provides an in-depth exploration of reporting standards, budgeting frameworks, audit processes, internal controls, asset management, and emerging trends in public-sector reporting. Through expert-led sessions, case studies, and peer learning, participants will gain practical insights into common pitfalls, receive updated templates and tools, and develop actionable strategies to strengthen financial reporting, enhance governance, and improve service delivery within their respective institutions.
During the workshop the following areas will be covered: –

Webinar IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers
2026-03-24 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers
Date: 24th March 2026
Time: 4.00pm-6.00pm
Venue: Virtual
Overview
Before IFRS 15 came into effect, revenue recognition in Kenya was guided by a patchwork of older standards—mainly IAS 11 (Construction Contracts) and IAS 18 (Revenue)—each with differing principles and inconsistent application across industries. This created challenges in comparability and interpretation, especially for entities with complex or long-term contracts.
The introduction of IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective January 2018, revolutionized revenue recognition by introducing a single, principles-based model applicable to all industries. IFRS 15 established a clear five-step framework for recognizing revenue, ensuring that financial statements reflect the amount and timing of revenue that truly represents the transfer of goods or services to customers.
For Kenyan businesses, correct application of IFRS 15 is critical in promoting trust, consistency, and transparency among investors, lenders, regulators, and clients. The standard continues to be the cornerstone for how companies—from construction and telecommunications to financial services and technology—measure and report revenue from customer contracts. As entities integrate digital business models, performance-based contracts, and subscription services, revisiting IFRS 15’s requirements remain crucial for accurate reporting and compliance.
ICPAK has organized this webinar to discuss the following key areas:

Introduction to IFRS 15
The 5-step revenue recognition model
Types of contracts and transaction prices

Complex Contract Scenarios & Multi-Element Arrangements: Recognition challenges in bundled goods, services, and performance obligations.

Types of warranties under IFRS 15
Presentation and disclosure requirements

Variable Consideration & Revenue Estimation Updates: Latest guidance on handling discounts, rebates, and contingent payments.

ISA for less complex entities webinar
2026-03-31 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ISA for less complex entities
Date: 31 March 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery
Overview
Large complex organizations typically require a more in-depth application of these full ISAs given their scope of business and applicability. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs.
The introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits.
This course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs.
The following topics will be covered:

Introduction to ISA for Less complex entities

Background
The rationale for ISA for Less complex entities
Public interest overriding consideration

Differences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs
Core concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities

Fundamental Concepts, General Principles and Overarching Requirements
Audit Evidence and Documentation
Engagement Quality Management
Acceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements
Planning
Risk Identification and Assessment
Responding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement
Concluding
Forming an Opinion and Reporting
Audits of Group Financial Statements

TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:

Auditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).
Audit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.

Professionals involved in the development, implementation, and application of auditing standards for SMEs.

Accounting and auditing students who aim to specialize in auditing LCEs
Supervisors in external audit, internal audit and compliance
Mid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills

Individuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing

ISA 315-Risk Of Material Misstatements webinar
2026-04-07 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ISA 315-Risk Of Material Misstatements webinar
Date: 7th April 2026
Time: 4:00-6:00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
Today the audit landscape is experiencing unprecedented changes characterized by complex business models, rapid digital transformation, heightened fraud risks and growing regulatory scrutiny. Despite these changes, it is imperative to underscore the fact that the ability of an auditor to effectively identify and assess risks of material misstatement is the foundation of audit quality. At the heart of this process lies ISA 315 (Revised), the standard that governs how auditors understand entities, their environments, and related risks.
This 2-hour practical webinar is designed to provide audit practitioners with a clear, applied, and contemporary understanding of ISA 315, with emphasis on its revised requirements, enhanced risk assessment procedures, and stronger linkage between risk identification and audit responses.
The session will examine how auditors are expected to:

Develop a deep understanding of the entity and its environment
Evaluate information systems and internal controls
Identify and assess inherent and control risks
Incorporate the impact of technology, automation, and digital systems
Strengthen professional skepticism and fraud risk assessment

Particular focus will be placed on practical application, including documentation expectations, common inspection findings, and how weak risk assessment directly undermines audit quality. The webinar will also highlight regulatory and practice challenges within the Kenyan context, helping practitioners align with both international standards and local oversight expectations.
By the end of the session, participants will have enhanced confidence in applying ISA 315 effectively, strengthening audit planning, improving audit responses, and delivering higher-quality, risk-focused assurance engagements.
Target Audience
This training is not limited to accountancy only, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend.
Continuous Professional Development Units
Members of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions.

THE 9TH BOARD MASTERCLASS
2026-04-13 09:00 - 2026-04-17 15:30 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort and Spa, Mombasa, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE 9TH BOARD MASTERCLASS
Theme: Agile and Future-Ready Boards: Driving Value, Resilience, and Strategic Leadership
DATE: 13TH – 17TH APRIL 2026
TIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM
VENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA, MOMBASA
OVERVIEW
Boards of directors are the ultimate custodians of an organization’s purpose, mission, and long-term value creation. They carry the responsibility of guiding institutions through complex and often unpredictable environments while ensuring that stakeholder trust, public accountability, and organizational integrity are upheld. In today’s fast-evolving landscape, boards are confronted with unprecedented pressures that range from technological disruption, rapid digitization, and market volatility to regulatory shifts, ESG imperatives, climate-related risks, geopolitical instability, and heightened expectations from investors, regulators, and the public for transparency, accountability, and sustainable impact.
The ability to respond effectively to these multidimensional pressures requires more than technical expertise; it calls for strategic foresight, adaptive leadership, emotional intelligence, and a profound understanding of governance dynamics. Board members must make informed, forward-looking decisions while simultaneously fostering alignment, collaboration, and cohesion among diverse stakeholders within and outside the boardroom.
The role of the board chair has never been more critical. Chairs are tasked with orchestrating the board’s overall effectiveness, navigating the interplay of diverse personalities, resolving conflicts, and ensuring that governance processes are executed efficiently and transparently. They must cultivate strong, productive relationships with the CEO, Board Secretary, and management team while ensuring that directors collectively exercise their fiduciary duties to the highest standard. The effectiveness of the chair in balancing the contributions of both first-time and experienced directors can significantly influence board culture, decision-making quality, and organizational performance. Similarly, boards must actively work to establish a culture of trust, accountability, and continuous learning, while ensuring that strategic priorities are translated into actionable outcomes for the organization.
The 21st-century boardroom is no longer a ceremonial space reserved for quarterly reviews or compliance reporting. It has evolved into a dynamic and strategic arena where governance, strategy, risk management, and stakeholder engagement converge. Directors are expected to cultivate agility, enabling them to anticipate change, respond effectively in real time, and make decisions under uncertainty. Agile boards are characterized by their ability to embrace diversity of thought, encourage psychological safety, promote constructive dissent, and challenge entrenched assumptions. They are courageous and innovative, willing to rethink strategy, disrupt legacy processes, and lead organizational transformation while maintaining focus on long-term sustainability. In this environment, boards that fail to adapt risk falling behind, as stakeholders increasingly demand evidence of proactive leadership, ethical decision-making, and measurable organizational impact.
Sustainability and ESG considerations have transitioned from peripheral topics to central elements of board responsibility. Directors are expected to oversee climate action, social initiatives, ethical conduct, and integrated reporting with the same rigor traditionally applied to financial oversight. Boards must ensure that ESG strategies are aligned with organizational objectives, embedded into decision-making frameworks, and communicated transparently to stakeholders. In parallel, the rapid advancement of technology has transformed how boards operate. Digital intelligence—including AI, data governance, cybersecurity, and emerging tech—requires directors to be well-versed in tech-driven risks and opportunities, enabling them to provide strategic oversight of digital transformation initiatives. The convergence of ESG, technological innovation, and governance demands that boards operate with both strategic acumen and operational insight to safeguard the organization’s long-term viability.
The 9th Board Masterclass is designed to equip both new and experienced directors with the mindset, knowledge, and practical tools necessary to lead high-performing, resilient, and future-ready boards. Over five days, participants will engage in expert-led sessions, case studies, interactive simulations, and peer learning, exploring contemporary topics including board leadership, culture, performance, risk governance, sustainability, digital transformation, and strategic foresight. Beyond technical and strategic competencies, the Masterclass emphasizes the human dimensions of governance—interpersonal dynamics, leadership styles, conflict resolution, and cultural factors that influence boardroom effectiveness. Participants will also gain insights into practical approaches for fostering inclusive, adaptive, and agile boards capable of responding to change while maintaining ethical standards and public trust.
By the conclusion of this Masterclass, participants will have developed the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make informed strategic decisions, foster board cohesion, champion ESG and digital initiatives, and lead with integrity, foresight, and resilience. The program serves not only as a comprehensive learning experience but also as a leadership retreat and strategic reset. It challenges boards to reflect on their current practices, anticipate emerging trends, and adopt governance approaches that maximize value, enhance organizational resilience, and ensure sustainable impact in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

OVERVIEW
At its simplest, ethics is a system of moral principles or rules that say what is and what is not acceptable. Ethics are largely described as the principles that guide a person’s behaviour while undertaking day to day activities. Occasionally, in certain jurisdictions some ethical values get enacted as laws. Governing laws are structured rules utilized to govern a society whereas ethics are a set of moral values an individual establishes. Ethical behaviours apply to any employee, team leader or supervisor. They should display a behaviour that is honest and fair in their relationship with their co-workers and clients. A culture of ethical businesses is vital to the success of any business.
A leader who personifies ethical behaviour will be fair in all situations. In turn, employees will trust their leadership team and aid in achievement of the organizational goals. Ethical behaviour includes honesty, integrity, fairness and a host of other positive traits. Businesses are expected to act in an ethically responsible manner, carrying out its activities in a legal manner even when the business has nothing to benefit from being ethical. Professional ethics provides a means to solve certain ethical problems related to a particular profession. Professional ethics contain the ideals that govern the conduct of a professional or a group of them. This means that an ethical business will act in a socially responsible way, doing what is right even if it is not required to do so by legislation or regulation, and regardless of the impact it might have on profits. Professionals are required to practice reasonable, responsible and transparent behaviour that consciously avoids harmful actions by embodying high ethical standards.
Professional ethics in business is paramount and more so in the accounting profession where the end user of information and services has to place trust in the professionals. Professional accountants are constantly faced with ethical dilemmas such as lack of independence in practice, conflict of interest, falsified financial reports, and facilitating or receiving bribes etc however they are required to carry out their roles in a rational, accountable and transparent manner by upholding high ethical standards to avoid unethical actions.
Consequently, the rise in ethical issues all over the world means that all professionals contribute to at least a percentage and even the most properly regulated professional bodies globally have developed a set of standards that have to be adhered to by the members. This explains the need for professional ethics and their application for members. It is in this context Institute has organized a two-day virtual workshop to explore the ethical considerations which are practically applicable in the workplace and as expected professionally.
The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) develops and promotes the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards). The IESBA also supports debate on issues related to accounting ethics and auditor independence. In 2018, the IESBA issued a revised and restructured Code which came into effect in June 2019. The revised and restructured Code includes many substantive revisions, including in relation to non-compliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR). The 2018 version of the Code makes it clear that professional accountant, in whatever capacity they are engaged, cannot turn a blind eye to NOCLAR. The provisions in the Code, including NOCLAR guide ethical behavior and help professional accountants uphold their responsibility to act in the public interest. The IESBA Code also includes a principles-based definition of what constitutes a network. The definition covers the way a group of companies operate and present themselves and is consistent with the Statutory Audit Directive.
All accountants are expected to subscribe to this code of ethics. With the growing necessity for patriotic and nationalistic individuals to step up to lead the country in every sector that they are involved in, it is in this recognition that the Institute has organized for the Practical Ethics and Compliance Seminar to address:

THE ANNUAL CONVENTION FOR CEOs, ACCOUNTING OFFICERS AND CECs
2026-04-20 09:00 - 2026-04-24 15:30 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa Mombasa, Mombasa
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE ANNUAL CONVENTION FOR CEOs, ACCOUNTING OFFICERS & CECs
Theme: Future-Ready Leadership: Driving Value, Resilience & Strategic Impact
Date: 20th – 24th April 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa
INTRODUCTION
Leadership, governance, and public sector accountability continue to serve as foundational pillars for national development, public confidence, and institutional effectiveness across the world. In recent years, Kenya—like many countries across Africa and beyond—has experienced significant shifts in its governance, fiscal management, and public service delivery landscape. These developments have been influenced by technological advancements, evolving regulatory frameworks, heightened public scrutiny, and a global push toward ethical leadership, transparency, and sustainable development. Increasingly, leaders are required to operate in environments defined by complexity, uncertainty, and accelerated change.
In Kenya, rising fiscal pressures, growing public expectations, and intensified demands for accountability have compelled public institutions to rethink how they manage resources, deliver services, and uphold ethical standards. County Governments, State Corporations, and national agencies face competing priorities: addressing revenue constraints, strengthening internal controls, improving procurement management, leveraging technology, and aligning institutional mandates with national development agendas such as Vision 2030, MTP IV, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At the same time, the digital transformation of government processes—ranging from e-citizen services to automated financial management systems—has reshaped how leaders plan, execute, monitor, and account for public resources. These shifts demand leaders who possess not only technical and strategic competency, but also agility, ethical grounding, and the ability to lead high-performance institutions in dynamic environments.
Regional integration within the East African Community, global economic realignments, and shifting geopolitical dynamics have further underscored the need for resilient, future-ready leadership. As public and private sector organizations expand their mandates, adopt new technologies, and navigate increasing risk exposure, executives must be well-equipped to evaluate emerging threats, leverage innovation, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and build systems that promote stability and long-term sustainability. Issues such as public debt sustainability, environmental and social governance (ESG), climate-related risks, service delivery challenges, and growing citizen demands have made leadership more complex than ever before.
Amidst these pressures, the need for strong ethical leadership, strategic decision-making, and governance excellence has grown significantly. Executives must be capable of cultivating integrity-driven institutional cultures, managing reputational risk, enhancing communication with stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with the law while upholding public trust. The expectations placed on CEOs, Accounting Officers, and CECs have deepened, requiring a blend of strategic foresight, operational discipline, ethical awareness, and collaborative leadership.
Against this backdrop, the Annual Convention for CEOs, Accounting Officers & CECs provides a timely, high-impact, and forward-looking platform for capacity building, policy dialogue, and practical learning. The five-day convention brings together senior leaders, policymakers, governance experts, and technical specialists to explore best practices, emerging issues, and innovative approaches shaping leadership in Kenya’s public and private sectors. Through knowledge-sharing, panel discussions, case studies, and interactive sessions, the convention equips participants with the frameworks, insights, and tools necessary to enhance institutional performance, strengthen governance structures, manage risks, and deliver sustainable public value.
ANNUAL CONVENTION OBJECTIVES
Participants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion:

Strengthen understanding of enterprise risk management foundations: Deepen knowledge of core risk management principles, frameworks, and best practices relevant to accountants, auditors, and risk champions.
Enhance capacity in risk identification and analysis: Build skills in recognizing, documenting, and analyzing risks using structured methodologies, stakeholder engagement techniques, and evidence-based approaches.

iii. Develop competence in risk classification and evaluation: Understand how to categorize risks—strategic, operational, financial, and compliance—and assess their significance, likelihood, and potential impact on organizational performance.

Improve proficiency in risk assessment and prioritization: Apply practical tools and assessment matrices to evaluate risk severity, determine priorities, and support informed decision-making.
Strengthen ability to plan and implement risk mitigation strategies: Learn to design practical, actionable, and cost-effective mitigation plans aligned with organizational objectives and governance expectations.
Advance skills in building and reviewing risk registers: Master the preparation, structuring, and continuous review of risk registers as dynamic tools for monitoring risk exposures and supporting strategic oversight.

vii. Enhance knowledge of technology-enabled risk management: Explore how GRC platforms, cloud-based solutions, and automated tools enhance risk tracking, reporting, visualization, and documentation.
viii. Promote ethical and professional conduct in risk governance: Reinforce integrity, independence, and accountability as central pillars of effective risk management and audit practice.

Strengthen application of scenario analysis: Gain practical experience in modeling interconnected risks, stress-testing assumptions, and evaluating the resilience of mitigation measures.
Foster practical capability through casework and exercises: Engage in hands-on sessions, group assignments, and real-world case studies to translate risk-based audit planning concepts into actionable skills.
Support continuous professional development: Enhance technical competence and practical readiness of accountants and auditors in line with ICPAK’s professional standards, regulatory expectations, and CPD requirements.

IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations webinar
2026-04-21 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Date: 21st April 2026
Time: 4:00- 6:00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
Today’s business environment is increasingly dynamic, characterized by frequent restructurings, divestments, mergers, and strategic exits. These developments have significantly increased the occurrence of assets held for sale and discontinued operations, making their correct accounting more critical than ever. Accurate classification, measurement, and presentation under IFRS 5 are essential to safeguarding the credibility of financial statements and ensuring transparent communication to investors and other key stakeholders.
IFRS 5 provides the authoritative framework for the consistent and transparent accounting of such transactions. However, its practical application often presents complex judgment areas, particularly in fast-evolving business situations. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional accountants with a clear, practical, and compliance-focused understanding of IFRS 5. The emphasis is on real-world implementation challenges encountered during asset disposals, business restructuring, and strategic repositioning.
The session will focus on how to:

Determine when an asset or disposal group qualifies as “held for sale”
Apply the appropriate measurement requirements at fair value less costs to sell
Identify and present discontinued operations accurately
Assess the impact on profit or loss, cash flows, and the statement of financial position
Navigate complex judgment areas, including abandoned sales, reclassification, and impairment interactions

The webinar will adopt a practical, application-driven approach, highlighting common misclassifications, disclosure gaps, and key audit and regulatory expectations. Participants will also gain insight into how IFRS 5 interfaces with other relevant standards, including IFRS 3, IAS 36, IFRS 16, and IFRS 10.
By the end of the session, participants will be better positioned to apply IFRS 5 with confidence and by so doing enhance the quality and transparency of financial reporting. This is envisaged to minimize compliance risk and communicate more effectively on discontinued operations and asset disposals.
Target Audience
This training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners only, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend.
Continuous Professional Development Units
Members of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions.

ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
2026-04-28 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
Date: 28th April 2026
Time: 4.00-6.00PM
Venue: Virtual
Overview
In today’s complex and fast-evolving business environment, audit practitioners are increasingly challenged by sophisticated transactions, digital records, automation, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. At the heart of audit quality lies one fundamental requirement—the ability to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support a well-founded audit opinion. ISA 500 provides the core framework that guides auditors on what constitutes reliable evidence and how it should be obtained, evaluated, and documented.
ISA 500 is the backbone of the entire audit process, influencing every audit judgment and conclusion. Yet, in practice, auditors frequently face challenges relating to the reliability of management information, the use of external confirmations, the impact of technology on evidence, and the risk of over-reliance on weak or insufficient audit documentation. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional audit practitioners with a clear, practical, and risk-focused understanding of ISA 500, emphasizing its application in real-world audit engagements.
The session will focus on how to:

Determine what constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit evidence
Assess the reliability of evidence from different sources
Apply professional judgment when using information produced by the entity
Evaluate the consistency and relevance of audit evidence obtained
Address limitations in audit evidence and respond appropriately when evidence is contradictory or incomplete

The webinar will adopt a practical, application-driven approach, highlighting common pitfalls, inspection findings, and audit failure risks associated with weak evidence. Key areas such as the use of external confirmations, management representations, analytical procedures, and technology-generated evidence will be explored in line with current audit practice expectations.
By the end of the session, participants will be better equipped to apply ISA 500 in their day-to-day professional practice. This will enable them to deliver effective and sound audit opinions that are adequately backed by credible, defensible, and high-quality audit evidence.
Target Audience
This training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners only, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend.

Members of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions.

THE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS AND LEADERS CONFERENCE
2026-05-04 09:00 - 2026-05-08 15:30 | Maiyan Resort, Nanyuki
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE INAUGURAL LUMINARY MEN ACCOUNTANTS & LEADERS CONFERENCE
Theme: Empowering Men for Transformative Leadership in Different Spheres
Date: 4th – 8th May 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Maiyan Resort, Nanyuki
OVERVIEW
The Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference is designed as a premium platform for bringing together male professionals in the accounting, finance, and leadership spheres to reflect upon the evolving role they play in today’s corporate and socio-economic environment. With the relentless evolution of the workplaces supported by technological innovation, regulatory changes, and a call for a new orientation of leadership, men in the profession will need to continuously reboot their skills, mindset, and approaches to leadership.
Job skills training forms the technical foundation for success in professional men’s lives across all professions. Little emphasis is given to life skills such as personal finance management, communication, emotional intelligence, leadership, and resilience to ensure professional men are equipped with a well-rounded skill set for success in the workplace and home. The modern workplace is also experiencing continuous disruption from technology calling for upskilling and continuous learning. Increasingly, the key to thriving in the future workplace will be the ability to harness the power of technology while addressing the ethical and social issues that come with a digitally transformed workplace.
One crucial topic for men in leadership is emotional intelligence. Traditional expectations often discourage men from expressing vulnerability or empathy, yet modern leadership demands self-awareness and the ability to read and manage emotions in oneself and others. Developing emotional intelligence allows male leaders to build stronger relationships, resolve conflicts effectively, and foster trust within teams. By embracing empathy alongside assertiveness, men can move beyond outdated stereotypes of stoicism and lead with greater authenticity and impact in diverse workplaces.
Another important area is inclusive leadership and allyship. As workplaces evolve toward greater gender equity, men in leadership positions must actively support diversity by challenging biases, promoting inclusive decision-making, and serving as allies to underrepresented groups. This involves recognizing privileges associated with traditional male traits in leadership and using influence to create environments where all voices are valued. Male leaders who prioritize inclusion not only enhance team performance but also contribute to broader organizational and societal progress.
Mental health and personal well-being represent a vital topic, particularly amid rising reports of isolation and stress among men. Leaders face immense pressure to provide and perform, often leading to burnout or suppressed emotions. Prioritizing resilience, seeking mentorship, and modeling healthy habits—such as work-life balance and emotional literacy—enable men to sustain long-term effectiveness. Addressing personal health head-on prevents crises and sets a positive example for teams.
Adapting to modern challenges, including economic insecurity and rapid change, is essential for male leaders. Many men grapple with shifting roles in a world of automation, remote work, and evolving expectations of masculinity. Cultivating adaptability, continuous learning, and strategic thinking helps navigate these uncertainties while maintaining purpose and connection.
Finally, balancing strength with vulnerability defines contemporary male leadership. Integrating traditional qualities like decisiveness and vision with openness, humility, and relational skills creates a more holistic approach. Men who seek role models, process past experiences, and build supportive networks lead not through dominance alone but through empowered, collaborative influence that inspires lasting loyalty and results.
The entry of younger generations in the workforce has also become a major disruptor of the rule based traditional workplace. However, future ready companies see the existence of a multigenerational diversity as a great advantage and work tirelessly to unlock the benefits of a multigenerational workplace by leveraging the strengths of each generation.
Complementing the technical and leadership-focused discussions, the conference will cover holistic wellbeing, work-life balance, and personal development, recognizing that effective leadership is developed not only through professional competencies but also in emotionally resilient and purposeful living. The Inaugural Luminary Men Accountants & Leaders Conference aims to create a reflective space, networking opportunities, and mentorship for the nurturing of all-round leaders who have the potential to make positive changes within organizations and greater society. The conference will seek to inspire its participants to achieve excellence, integrity, and adaptability as fundamental attributes through keynote sessions, panel conversations, and practical insights from distinguished leaders.
The following are topics to be discussed during the conference:

Modern Leadership for the Male Professional
Inclusive Leadership & Allyship – the Pinnacle of Survival
Emotional Intelligence & Vulnerable Leadership for Men
Recognizing and Countering Toxic Masculinity Patterns in Leadership
Power Dynamics and How Male Leaders Can Redistribute Influence

Overview
While organisations have come a long way in implementing IFRS 17 from IFRS 4, there is still a deficiency in understanding technical standpoints, operational impacts, and financial reporting results from these new requirements.

The webinar will also cover emerging industry practices, common challenges in implementation, and lessons learned from initial reporting periods. Participants will gain insight into how IFRS 17 affects financial performance, balance sheet presentation, and stakeholder communication, with a view to promoting consistent application, improved transparency, and stronger governance in insurance financial reporting.
The webinar will highlight key aspects of IFRS 17 relating to the following:
Insurance Contract Grouping and Profitability Assessment
• Annual cohort requirements and portfolio segmentation
• Identification of onerous and profitable groups
• Implications for performance reporting
Discounting Techniques and Financial Assumptions
• Selection of discount rates and yield curves
• Treatment of liquidity characteristics
• Impact of interest rate movements on insurance liabilities
Risk Adjustment Methodologies
• Approaches to quantifying non-financial risk
• Confidence level versus cost of capital techniques
• Disclosure and governance of risk margins
Contractual Service Margin (CSM) Management

International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop -Mandatory Training
2026-05-06 09:00 - 2026-05-07 15:30 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
International Taxes & Transfer Pricing Workshop
Date: 6th – 7th May 2025
Time: 9.00-4.00PM
Mode Of Delivery: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration)
Overview
The world business environment has continued to change in ways that blur borders and extend the reach of enterprises beyond domestic jurisdictions. As cross-border transactions have become more routine, the tax complexities associated with such activities have mounted and the level of scrutiny applied to them has intensified. Compliance regimes are being clamped down globally, multinational groups rethink operating models, and professional accountants are expected to show deeper competence in international taxation regimes and transfer pricing principles. In this setting, practitioners serving clients with either regional or global footprints must therefore balance strategic tax planning with strict adherence to the law.
This workshop aims to provide a reflective yet practical look into international taxation and transfer pricing, focusing on the realities faced by Kenyan entities involved in cross-border arrangements. It combines issues of current concern, regulator expectations, and technical guidance that practitioners need to internalize in meeting their competency obligations. Participants will have a greater insight into how the multinational groups structure their operations, how the tax authorities construe such arrangements, and how accountants can assist in complying without unduly compromising sound commercial decisions.
With the increased attention that the OECD, the African Tax Administration Forum, and KRA are giving to the fair taxation of multinational operations, this workshop will demystify selected technical concepts using case studies and regulatory updates. This is also an avenue through which practitioners can reflect on how domestic tax rules interact with evolving international standards, particularly with respect to transfer pricing documentation, resolution of disputes, and management of tax risks. Each session is structured in a way that enhances both theoretical and practical insights to ensure that participants leave the sessions with information they can apply directly in client advisory, audits, and organization tax planning.
In the end, the program reinforces ICPAK’s commitment to enhancing the professional competence of its members, especially those studying for or maintaining a Practicing Certificate. The workshop deepens appreciation of various international tax dynamics and transfer pricing obligations, thus enabling practitioners to contribute towards ensuring that the profession upholds integrity and, by extension, supports transparent, equitable tax practices in an increasingly interdependent economy.

THE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE
2026-05-11 09:00 - 2026-05-15 15:30 | Sawela Lodge, Naivasha, 00100, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
THE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE
Theme: Empowering Non-Finance Professionals with Practical Financial Insights for Informed Decision-Making
Date: 11th-15th May 2026
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Venue: Sawela Lodge, Naivasha.
OVERVIEW
In today’s interconnected business environment, financial literacy is no longer confined to accountants and finance specialists. Non-finance professionals, such as managers in marketing, operations, HR, or IT, increasingly need to understand financial principles to contribute effectively to organizational success. Finance training equips them with the tools to interpret financial data, make informed decisions, and align their departmental goals with the company’s overall financial health.
There is a growing need for professionals in all fields to have a basic understanding of financial concepts that would enable them to contribute to organizational decision-making. Interpreting financial information and appreciating the consequences of budgetary decisions, or understanding the financial health of an entity, are no longer the exclusive domain of a finance department. As organizations increasingly adopt more integrated approaches to operations, finance continues to play a central role in ensuring transparency, sustainability, and responsible resource allocation. Enhancing financial competencies among staff outside the finance function supports better governance structures, reduces risk, and enhances the effective monitoring of performance
One of the primary benefits of finance training for non-finance professionals is enhanced decision-making. By understanding key concepts like budgeting and cost control, non finance professionals will be able evaluate the financial implications of their choices, leading to more strategic and profitable outcomes. This empowers them to identify opportunities for cost savings and revenue growth within their roles.
This finance training will also bridge communication gaps between departments. Non-finance staff often collaborate with finance teams on projects or reports. With basic financial knowledge, they can speak the “language of finance,” ask relevant questions, and provide meaningful input, fostering better teamwork and reducing misunderstandings. The conference will delve into reading and interpreting financial statements—the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. These documents provide a snapshot of a company’s financial position, performance, and liquidity, allowing professionals to assess health and spot potential issues early. The discussions will bridge the gap in knowledge by equipping the non-finance professional with fundamental financial concepts supportive of informed decision-making, accountability, and performance improvement across roles and sectors.
The ABCs of Finance for Non-Finance Professionals Conference aims to demystify core areas of finance perceived to be complex. The approach is designed to give participants insights, in a practical way, into how financial systems work, what the financial statements really say, and how financial plans drive strategy and operational priorities. This conference offers an enabling, yet simplified, approach toward financial literacy, empowering professionals to engage confidently with financial conversations and meaningfully contribute to organizational planning and control processes.
At the end of the conference, participants should be able to appreciate how to interpret financial information; understand how budgets are prepared; analyze the performance of an organization; and assist executives in strategic resource allocation decisions.
The following topics will be discussed during the conference:

Overview of IFRS S1 and S2 webinar

INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Overview of IFRS S1 & S2 Webinar
12th May 2026
Time: 4.00- 6.00PM
Venue – Virtual
Overview
The release of IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures represents a transformative shift in corporate reporting and a cornerstone for organizations seeking to integrate sustainability into mainstream financial reporting. Developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), these standards provide a systematic and comprehensive framework for identifying, assessing, and disclosing sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could affect an entity’s cash flow, access to finance, or cost of capital. Well-prepared disclosures enhance transparency, facilitate accountability, and provide stakeholders with relevant, faithful, comparable, and verifiable information, thereby supporting informed decision-making and strengthening investor confidence.
IFRS S1 establishes overarching principles for sustainability disclosures, emphasizing four key pillars: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics & targets. By requiring entities to consider material sustainability matters, assess reporting boundaries, and ensure consistency with financial statements, IFRS S1 enables organizations to present a clear and holistic picture of how sustainability issues influence their performance and long-term value creation. IFRS S2 builds on this foundation by focusing specifically on climate-related risks and opportunities, including physical and transition risks, scenario analysis, climate resilience strategies, and greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Together, these standards promote integrated thinking, encouraging organizations to move beyond isolated reporting of ESG issues toward a comprehensive approach that aligns sustainability disclosures with strategic objectives and financial performance.
Creating and implementing disclosures under IFRS S1 and S2 is central to proactive sustainability reporting. It provides a practical tool for identifying and monitoring emerging risks, evaluating the organization’s climate exposure, and aligning mitigation strategies with operational and strategic priorities. By systematically documenting and disclosing material sustainability matters, organizations are better prepared to anticipate disruptions, respond to stakeholder expectations, and allocate resources efficiently. This contributes to enhanced governance, reduced uncertainty, and improved resilience, ultimately increasing the organization’s ability to achieve long-term objectives.
It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to equip participants with skills for understanding, interpreting, and applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. The session is designed to cover the following topics:

Introduction to IFRS Sustainability standards
IFRS S1 general requirements for sustainability-related financial information
IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures – Risk Management, Metrics and Targets, Core Disclosure Requirements

The Institute is established by an Act of parliament – The Accountants Act and has been in existence since 1978. Over its long history it has registered over 40,000 members. Its members work in diverse sectors of the economy as accountants, financial experts, auditors, financial consultants among other careers within the larger definition of accountancy. Over 1200 of our members have emigrated and are working beyond the borders of Kenya. Members of the Institute are present in 44 different countries around the globe.
ANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY
Each year for the last 42 years, ICPAK has maintained a rich tradition of congregating once a year to reflect on the profession and emerging issues affecting the nation. The last seminar followed the same pattern as it sought to reinforce the role of professional accountants in sustainability reporting and climate change. Both editions of the 42nd Annual Seminar attracted an average of 3,900 participants on both physical and virtual attendance, largely drawn from Kenya but with representation from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique and South Africa. The current event is targeted to attract a wider representation of East Africa and the continent at large.
Due to limited seats the Institute has held two Annual Seminars since 2021 to enable participation by most members. This year, the Institute shall also hold two Annual Seminars dubbed Edition 1 and Edition 2 to accommodate all the professionals. The first edition shall be held from 18th -22nd May 2026 while the second one for this year shall be held on 20th – 20th November 2026.
This year’s events mark 42 years since the time when the Institute held its first Annual Seminar in 1984. This demonstrates resilience, unity and focus of the Accountancy profession. Throughout these decades, the Annual Seminar has acted as a beacon of hope for the profession.
The Institute shall hold the Seminar in two physical venues i.e Sarova White sands and Pride Inn Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya with an option of live streaming and allocation of speakers and panelists across both venues. The delegates’ allocation to both venues shall be done based on date of payment, with the first venue being allocated the early paying delegates. The seminar shall also be streamed on the virtual platform where some delegates and speakers shall be participating.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession
