SUMMARY:IFRS and Accrual Accounting Workshop  (South Rift Branch)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS and Accrual Accounting Workshop (South Rift Branch)\nDate: 6th -7th November 2025\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Enkipai Hill\, Narok\nTheme: Advancing Financial Transparency and Accountability Through IFRS and Accrual-Based Reporting \nOverview \nInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)\, established by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)\, form the cornerstone of globally accepted accounting practices that prioritize transparency\, comparability\, and reliability in financial reporting. IFRS facilitates consistent reporting across diverse countries and industries\, this consistency is crucial in a global economy where businesses operate across borders and investors depend on uniform information to make well-informed decisions. At the core of IFRS is accrual accounting\, a principle that requires financial transactions to be recorded when they occur rather than when cash is exchanged. This enables organizations to reflect revenues and expenses in the periods they are earned or incurred\, resulting in a more accurate and comprehensive view of financial health and performance. Core standards such as IAS 1\, IFRS 15\, and IFRS 9 offer detailed frameworks for financial statement presentation\, revenue recognition\, and financial instrument management\, respectively. \nThe adoption of accrual accounting\, grounded in IFRS principles\, is increasingly recognized as a strategic priority for both public and private sector entities worldwide. This accounting approach promotes financial transparency\, enhances accountability\, and supports better decision making by providing stakeholders with timely\, relevant\, and meaningful financial information. While historically more prevalent in the private sector\, public sector institutions are also moving toward accrual-based reporting\, aligning themselves with international frameworks like IFRS and the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This shift acknowledges the growing need for more robust financial reporting mechanisms capable of capturing the full scope of an organization’s financial activities. \nTraditionally\, many public entities have relied on cash-based accounting\, a method that records transactions only when cash is received or paid. However\, this system has significant limitations\, it fails to account for long-term obligations\, asset depreciation\, and other non-cash financial elements that are vital for understanding an entity’s complete financial position. In contrast\, IFRS-based accrual accounting provides a more holistic and accurate representation by recognizing financial events as they occur\, regardless of cash flow. This transition to accrual methods not only improves the quality of financial reporting but also builds a stronger foundation for fiscal sustainability and strategic planning. \nThe growing global momentum toward IFRS and accrual accounting is driven by several factors: the inadequacies of cash-based systems\, the increasing availability and adoption of international standards\, the integration of professional accounting practices into public financial management\, and advancements in financial technology that facilitate complex reporting requirements. IFRS standards such as IAS 1\, IFRS 15\, and IFRS 16 (Leases) offer comprehensive guidance on the recognition\, measurement\, and disclosure of financial information\, thereby enhancing its credibility and global comparability. This workshop aims to prepare financial professionals to effectively implement these standards\, offering hands-on knowledge of accrual-based reporting\, deepening understanding of key IFRS requirements\, and examining their broader implications for organizational financial practices. \nThe following topics will be covered during the workshop: \n\nOverview of IPSAS- First Time Adoption of Accrual Basis \nIPSAS Accrual Templates \nIFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers\n\n\nOverview of IFRS 15\nThe five-step revenue recognition model\nRevenue Recognition Principles\nTiming and measurement of revenue under accrual accounting\n\n\nRecognition and Measurement of Assets and Liabilities\n\n\nPrinciples for recognizing non-cash items such as receivables\, payables and provisions\nDepreciation\, amortization\, and impairment\nMeasurement methods: historical cost vs. fair value\nApplication of IFRS standards (e.g.\, IAS 37\, IAS 16)\n\n\nIFRS 16-Lease Accounting\n\n\nObjective of IFRS 16\nScope\nIdentifying a lease\nAccounting for Leases\nRecognizing\, Measuring and Disclosing lease agreements from both lessee and lessor perspectives\nSale and Leaseback Transactions\n\n\nAccounting for Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)\n\n\nClassification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities\nImpairment under expected credit loss model\nHedge accounting principles and applications\nDisclosure and risk reporting requirements\n\n\nIFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\n\n\nScope of IFRS 18\nKey components\, disclosures\, and compliance requirements.\nRevenue Recognition Principles\nMeasurement of Revenue\nDisclosure Requirements\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 those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Reporting Workshop 2025
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Workshop\nTheme: Navigating the Future: Sustainability\, Innovation and Governance in Accounting Practices\nDate: 12th – 13th November 2025\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nAcross the globe\, the demand for transparent\, decision-useful sustainability information continues to grow. Stakeholders from investors to regulators\, customers to communities expect organizations to account for their environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) impacts. The evolution of global reporting frameworks such as the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and S2)\, the GRI Standards\, and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) signifies the shift toward standardized\, comparable\, and reliable ESG reporting. \nIn recognition of this pivotal shift\, ICPAK launched the Roadmap for adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and S2) in November 2024. This landmark initiative underscores ICPAK’s commitment to equipping Kenyan professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate this new era of corporate reporting and contribute to sustainable national development\, a commitment that extends to influencing practices in both the private and public spheres. \nRecent trends such as greenwashing\, greenhushing\, and a growing lack of stakeholder trust have prompted the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) to introduce the IESSA framework—new ethics and independence standards tailored for sustainability assurance engagements. Understanding these developments is crucial for accounting professionals who are increasingly being called upon to ensure the integrity of ESG disclosures. \nThis 2-day virtual symposium aims to provide professionals with relevant and practical insights into the key developments in sustainability reporting. Emphasis will be placed on how organizations can align with new standards\, embed sustainability into governance structures\, and avoid the pitfalls of unethical reporting practices. The symposium is structured to allow for expert presentations\, real-world examples\, and interactive Q&A sessions\, ensuring participants gain both technical and strategic value. \nKey Topics \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\nB.   General requirements \n·         General requirements \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\nC.   Materiality Assessment\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.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices\n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\nGHG Emissions \n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions.\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. \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.

SUMMARY:THE 42ND ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTTHE 42ND ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2\nTheme: From Transactions to Transformation: Accountancy Impacting the World\nHYBRID EVENT: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA\, PRIDE INN PARADISE HOTEL\, MOMBASA AND VIRTUAL\nDATES: MONDAY 17TH TO FRIDAY 21ST NOVEMBER 2025\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST  \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters\, publication of books\, periodicals\, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute\, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies\, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting\, auditing and ethical standards. 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. \nANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY  \nEach year for the last 41 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 41st 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. \nDue to limited seats the Institute has held two Annual Seminars since 2021to 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 19th -23rd May 2025 while the second one for this year shall be held on 17th – 21st November 2025. \nThis 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. \nThe 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. \nOVERVIEW OF SEMINAR SUB-THEMES AND ORGANIZATION \nDAY ONE: MONDAY 17th NOV 2025: ARRIVAL AND REGISTRATION \nThe arrival and registration process shall be carried out by ICPAK and will commence on Monday\,17th Nov 2025 from 8.00 a.m. up to 5.00p.m. Due to the large numbers witnessed before in the previous Annual Seminars and to allow for a smooth registration process\, the whole day has been reserved for registration and giveaway collection by delegates. \nDAY TWO: TUESDAY 18th NOV 2025- ACCOUNTANCY PROFESSION TRANSFORMING THE WORLD. \nThe profession of accountancy is experiencing a stunning transformation\, redefining not only the way businesses function but also the way societies function. Previously narrowly focused on bookkeeping and compliance\, accountancy has developed into a field that overlaps with governance\, policy\, technology\, and sustainable development. Today\, accountants are required to merge technical know-how with strategic insight\, providing information that informs top-level decision-making. This evolution has turned the job into an international change agent\, actively contributing to economic stability\, transparency\, and innovation. \nToday’s accountants are being asked more and more to sense and respond to sophisticated global forces. They have moved beyond their historic function of transcribing transactions to analyzing information and shaping organizational strategy. The demand for professionals who have the ability to adapt to new realities such as increased rates of technological change\, globalizing markets\, and altered regulatory landscapes has never been greater. Through developing forward-looking capacities and adopting innovations\, the profession is preparing itself for a future of resilience\, nimbleness\, and inclusivity. \nGlobal interdependence of economies has also highlighted the requirement for harmonized professional standards and ethical guidelines. With the greater ease of movement of capital\, people\, and ideas across borders\, accountants are increasingly becoming global actors who must work within diverse regulatory contexts and uphold the values of integrity and responsibility. This requires lifelong learning\, openness to global approaches\, and the ability to use professional judgment in a variety of situations. Simultaneously\, talent mobility is reshaping accountants’ views on career prospects as many seek to get into jobs that are greater than national and add value in more than one jurisdiction. \nTechnology is behind this transformation. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence\, blockchain\, and new-generation data analytics are revolutionizing the capture\, processing\, and distribution of financial information. Rather than displacing the profession\, these technologies are extending its capacity for more efficiency\, accuracy\, and transparency. Those accountants who embrace technology are placing themselves at the forefront of innovation\, enabling organizations to capitalize on new opportunities while managing threats in a more digitalized world. This technological transformation also occurs in the public sector\, where governments are investing in integrated financial management systems and electronic compliance platforms to improve accountability\, service delivery\, and trust in institutions. \nBesides technical and technological transformation\, the profession is also undergoing transformations in broader societal expectations. Stakeholders demand accountants now to actively contribute towards enabling sustainability\, ethical leadership\, and equitable economic development. Not only are today’s accountants expected to deliver value to businesses\, but they are also required to deliver value to the well-being of society and the preservation of the environment. This wider mandate demands a new breed of professional who is visionary\, adaptive\, and committed to making change happen in whatever field they enter. \nAs the world evolves\, the accountancy profession is at a crossroads. Whether it can shape governance\, inform policy\, embrace the latest technologies\, and address global issues will decide its future relevance and influence. Day Two of the conference will thus look back at this evolution\, with views that affirm the role of accountancy in creating a more transparent\, resilient\, and sustainable world. \nThe following key topics shall form part of the discussion on the second day of the Seminar: \n\nFuture Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade\nState of the Accountancy Profession Globally\nRevision and development of new accountancy and audit standards and the impact on the profession\nThe great talent migration: Career options for accountants in other jurisdictions\nReal life use of AI and Block chain in Accountancy\nOverview of Government advancements in technology– EGP\, eTims\, iTax\, IFMIS\n\nDAY THREE:WEDNESDAY 19th NOV  2025: DEBT\, DEVELOPMENT & MULTILATERALISM \nDebt remains one of the signature issues of our era\, dictating the capacity of nations to spend on roads\, cater for the essentials of their populations\, and attain sustainable development. For developing countries such as Kenya\, the matter of balancing public debt against economic growth is more pressing. The cycle of borrowing\, repayment\, and financial obligation also includes convergence with domestic and foreign affairs since multilateral institutions are still at the center of defining debt management policy. This session will provide a platform to discuss debt not just as a money instrument but as an instrument of development and as a promoter of international cooperation. \nIn fact\, borrowing is now one of the most important growth drivers in modern economies. Debt is used by governments to finance long-term energy\, health\, transport\, and education schemes. But uncontrolled accumulation of debt can put pressure on public finances and limit future fiscal elbow room. For Kenya\, as for many emerging markets\, the pressing issue is how to reconcile borrowing with prudential management of debt and make sure that funds are steered to productive investment. It is this reconciliation that is central to sustaining growth\, creating employment\, and reducing inequality. \nThe debt debate is also accompanied by a contemplative glance at the role of multilateralism. Regional blocks and global financial institutions offer mechanisms that may enable or constrain domestic policy choice. Design of loan agreements\, debt rescheduling programs\, and world financial management carry deep consequences. The policymakers must negotiate for arrangements that promote sovereignty while giving access to the capital that will promote change. Through multilateral negotiation\, countries can move towards a more balanced system that equally matches the interests of creditors and the developmental objectives of borrowers. \nMoreover\, debt negotiations are not separable from the general argument about sustainability. Borrowing today and the choice to do so decide what options are available for future generations. Debt can pay for green energy\, climate resilience\, and technological progress—investment that will be stable over the long run if done judiciously. Debt can also drive dependencies and reduce the ability of nations to achieve their development goals if misused. \nDay Three will thus ask participants to pose the question of how debt\, development\, and multilateral partnership converge to influence the future of Kenya. Opportunities and challenges will be the focus of the discussion with a call to stakeholders to consider how to design financial strategies which are inclusive\, sustainable\, and transformative. \nThe following key topics shall form part of the discussion on the third day of the Seminar: \n\nDebt Sustainability and Restructuring:Strategies for managing and resolving sovereign debt crises and promoting responsible lending and borrowing.\nAffordable and Innovative Finance:Increasing concessional finance\, grants\, and local currency lending to bridge the development finance gap in the country.\nMobilizing Private Capital:Strategies to attract private investment to complement public development finance for achieving SDGs.\nReforming Multilateral Development Banks:Adapting and reforming multilateral development banks to meet new global challenges and enhance their relevance.\n\nDAY FOUR: THURSDAY  20TH NOV 2025- THE KENYA WE WANT  \nThe vision of a prosperous Kenya has always rested on aspirations of unity\, inclusivity\, and shared advancement. But realizing this vision requires an honest evaluation of where the country is now and a deliberate conversation on where it must head over the next few years. The Kenya We Want” is not a slogan—it is a call to action\, a blueprint for the future\, and a vow to create a society that is reflective of the aspirations and ideals of the people. \nKenya is a country that is full of potential with a youthful population\, abundant natural resources\, and a geoeconomic location at the center of the global economy. But it also continues to grapple with long-term issues of governance\, inequality\, and management of resources. To achieve the Kenya we all wish for\, stakeholders need to question how governance institutions can be made stronger to provide transparency\, efficiency\, and accountability. Strong institutions continue to be the foundation of economic development and social cohesion\, and their ongoing improvement is critical to making lasting progress. \nThe discussion is also about inclusivity. A Kenya for all is one where opportunities are not tilted in a few areas or a narrow elite\, but available to all Kenyans\, irrespective of station. This means closing gaps in education\, medicine\, road and other physical infrastructure\, and access to technology to make every Kenyan able to thrive in the 21st century. The. question is not merely how to open up opportunities\, but how to make them significant and lasting. \nInnovation and youth empowerment will be the central pillars of this vision. Young Kenyans already are reshaping industries\, from fintech to arts\, and are Kenya’s best hope for the future. By creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship\, skills\, and digital innovation\, Kenya will be able to carve out a path that is competitive and uniquely African. \nUltimately\, the Kenya we want is one built on values—responsibility\, solidarity\, equity\, and integrity. Day Four will provide room to converse across sectors and challenge participants to articulate a vision that is not only ambitious but also possible. The discussion will underscore that the future Kenya is built by us all and demands commitment\, creativity\, and cooperation today. \nThe following key topics shall form part of the discussion on the fourth day of the Seminar: \n\nKenyan Constitutionalism: The challenges and promises of constitutional reform in Kenya\nAnti-Corruption and Integrity:Strengthening governance and integrity frameworks and policies in the Country\nEthics at play: An overview of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\nChallenges and opportunities for elected leaders in steering the country to economic acceleration\n\nDAY FIVE: FRIDAY 21ST NOV  2025- WILLS\, TRUST & ESTATE PLANNING.  \nIn an era of unpredictability and uncharted change\, planning for the future is more important than ever before. Wills\, trusts\, and estate planning are not only legal processes; they are instruments of financial security\, family stability\, and intergenerational continuity as well. Day Five will explore the significance of these tools in the preservation of wealth\, honoring the individual’s intentions\, and organized succession in family and business contexts. \nFor families\, estate planning ensures that their treasures are shared as they wish\, reducing the possibility of conflict and uncertainty among loved ones. In societies where inheritance disputes break up families and deplete assets\, a plan is not only a smart thing to do\, but it must be done. Wills and trusts establish a framework that promotes equity\, clarity\, and respect for heritage. \nAt the business level\, continuity is most important and needs succession planning. Family firms\, the backbone of the majority of economies\, often suffer poor succession leadership. Companies\, lacking estate planning\, are exposed to fragmentation or collapse as control changes hands. Trusts and strategically conceived succession planning ensure companies are well-fortified across generations and provide protection of employment and preservation of value creation. \nFrom a broader perspective\, estate planning also crosses social and economic development. By reducing conflict and protecting assets\, these tools feed into fiscal security and community wealth preservation. They also encourage a sense of responsibility and vision\, challenging individuals and institutions to think beyond short-term gains toward enduring legacies. \nDay Five will push individuals to consider not only the mechanics of wills and trusts but also their effect on society. Through thoughtful planning\, individuals and institutions can secure their futures and contribute to the continuity and well-being of generations that follow. \nThe following sub-topics shall form part of the discussion on the fifth day of the Seminar: \nWills\, trust & estate planning: \n\nHealthcare Directives and Living Wills: Planning for end-of-life care by appointing a healthcare proxy and documenting your wishes regarding medical treatment.\nGuardianship for minor children: The critical process of nominating a guardian for dependent children in a will.\nAsset protection planning:Using trusts and other legal mechanisms to protect assets from lawsuits\, creditors\, and ex-spouses.\nBusiness succession planning: Essential strategies for transferring ownership and control of a family or privately held business.\nPlanning for blended families: Using trusts to ensure children from different marriages receive their intended inheritance.\n\nSUMMARY OF SEMINAR TOPICS \nOverall\, the seminar topics for the 4 days of learning are as indicated below: \n\nFuture Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade\nState of the Accountancy Profession Globally\nRevision and development of new accountancy and audit standards and the impact on the profession\nThe great talent migration: Career options for accountants in other jurisdictions\nReal life use of AI and Block chain in Accountancy\nOverview of Government advancements in technology– EGP\, eTims\, iTax\, IFMIS\nDebt Sustainability and Restructuring:Strategies for managing and resolving sovereign debt crises and promoting responsible lending and borrowing.\nAffordable and Innovative Finance:Increasing concessional finance\, grants\, and local currency lending to bridge the development finance gap in the country.\nMobilizing Private Capital:Strategies to attract private investment to complement public development finance for achieving SDGs.\nReforming Multilateral Development Banks:Adapting and reforming multilateral development banks to meet new global challenges and enhance their relevance.\nKenyan Constitutionalism: The challenges and promises of constitutional reform in Kenya\nAnti-Corruption and Integrity:Strengthening governance and integrity frameworks and policies in the Country\nEthics at play: An overview of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\nChallenges and opportunities for elected leaders in steering the country to economic acceleration\nWills\, Trusts & Estate Planning:\n\n\nHealthcare Directives and Living Wills: Planning for end-of-life care by appointing a healthcare proxy and documenting your wishes regarding medical treatment\nGuardianship for minor children: The critical process of nominating a guardian for dependent children in a will.\nAsset protection planning:Using trusts and other legal mechanisms to protect assets from lawsuits\, creditors\, and ex-spouses.\nBusiness succession planning: Essential strategies for transferring ownership and control of a family or privately held business.\nPlanning for blended families: Using trusts to ensure children from different marriages receive their intended inheritance.\n\nCONFERENCE CHARGES \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Members\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Non-Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nBookings Deadline: Bookings close on Friday\, 14th November 2025 at 17:00 pm \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 42nd Annual Seminar Edition 1. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE 42ND ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 42ND ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 \nTheme: From Transactions to Transformation: Accountancy Impacting the World\nHYBRID EVENT: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA\, PRIDE INN PARADISE HOTEL\, MOMBASA AND VIRTUAL\nDATES: MONDAY 17TH TO FRIDAY 21ST NOVEMBER 2025\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST  \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters\, publication of books\, periodicals\, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute\, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies\, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting\, auditing and ethical standards. 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. \nANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY  \nEach year for the last 41 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 41st 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. \nDue to limited seats the Institute has held two Annual Seminars since 2021to 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 19th -23rd May 2025 while the second one for this year shall be held on 17th – 21st November 2025. \nThis 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. \nThe 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. \nOVERVIEW OF SEMINAR SUB-THEMES AND ORGANIZATION \nDAY ONE: MONDAY 17th NOV 2025: ARRIVAL AND REGISTRATION \nThe arrival and registration process shall be carried out by ICPAK and will commence on Monday\,17th Nov 2025 from 8.00 a.m. up to 5.00p.m. Due to the large numbers witnessed before in the previous Annual Seminars and to allow for a smooth registration process\, the whole day has been reserved for registration and giveaway collection by delegates. \nDAY TWO: TUESDAY 18th NOV 2025- ACCOUNTANCY PROFESSION TRANSFORMING THE WORLD. \nThe profession of accountancy is experiencing a stunning transformation\, redefining not only the way businesses function but also the way societies function. Previously narrowly focused on bookkeeping and compliance\, accountancy has developed into a field that overlaps with governance\, policy\, technology\, and sustainable development. Today\, accountants are required to merge technical know-how with strategic insight\, providing information that informs top-level decision-making. This evolution has turned the job into an international change agent\, actively contributing to economic stability\, transparency\, and innovation. \nToday’s accountants are being asked more and more to sense and respond to sophisticated global forces. They have moved beyond their historic function of transcribing transactions to analyzing information and shaping organizational strategy. The demand for professionals who have the ability to adapt to new realities such as increased rates of technological change\, globalizing markets\, and altered regulatory landscapes has never been greater. Through developing forward-looking capacities and adopting innovations\, the profession is preparing itself for a future of resilience\, nimbleness\, and inclusivity. \nGlobal interdependence of economies has also highlighted the requirement for harmonized professional standards and ethical guidelines. With the greater ease of movement of capital\, people\, and ideas across borders\, accountants are increasingly becoming global actors who must work within diverse regulatory contexts and uphold the values of integrity and responsibility. This requires lifelong learning\, openness to global approaches\, and the ability to use professional judgment in a variety of situations. Simultaneously\, talent mobility is reshaping accountants’ views on career prospects as many seek to get into jobs that are greater than national and add value in more than one jurisdiction. \nTechnology is behind this transformation. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence\, blockchain\, and new-generation data analytics are revolutionizing the capture\, processing\, and distribution of financial information. Rather than displacing the profession\, these technologies are extending its capacity for more efficiency\, accuracy\, and transparency. Those accountants who embrace technology are placing themselves at the forefront of innovation\, enabling organizations to capitalize on new opportunities while managing threats in a more digitalized world. This technological transformation also occurs in the public sector\, where governments are investing in integrated financial management systems and electronic compliance platforms to improve accountability\, service delivery\, and trust in institutions. \nBesides technical and technological transformation\, the profession is also undergoing transformations in broader societal expectations. Stakeholders demand accountants now to actively contribute towards enabling sustainability\, ethical leadership\, and equitable economic development. Not only are today’s accountants expected to deliver value to businesses\, but they are also required to deliver value to the well-being of society and the preservation of the environment. This wider mandate demands a new breed of professional who is visionary\, adaptive\, and committed to making change happen in whatever field they enter. \nAs the world evolves\, the accountancy profession is at a crossroads. Whether it can shape governance\, inform policy\, embrace the latest technologies\, and address global issues will decide its future relevance and influence. Day Two of the conference will thus look back at this evolution\, with views that affirm the role of accountancy in creating a more transparent\, resilient\, and sustainable world. \nThe following key topics shall form part of the discussion on the second day of the Seminar: \n\nFuture Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade\nState of the Accountancy Profession Globally\nRevision and development of new accountancy and audit standards and the impact on the profession\nThe great talent migration: Career options for accountants in other jurisdictions\nReal life use of AI and Block chain in Accountancy\nOverview of Government advancements in technology– EGP\, eTims\, iTax\, IFMIS\n\nDAY THREE:WEDNESDAY 19th NOV  2025: DEBT\, DEVELOPMENT & MULTILATERALISM \nDebt remains one of the signature issues of our era\, dictating the capacity of nations to spend on roads\, cater for the essentials of their populations\, and attain sustainable development. For developing countries such as Kenya\, the matter of balancing public debt against economic growth is more pressing. The cycle of borrowing\, repayment\, and financial obligation also includes convergence with domestic and foreign affairs since multilateral institutions are still at the center of defining debt management policy. This session will provide a platform to discuss debt not just as a money instrument but as an instrument of development and as a promoter of international cooperation. \nIn fact\, borrowing is now one of the most important growth drivers in modern economies. Debt is used by governments to finance long-term energy\, health\, transport\, and education schemes. But uncontrolled accumulation of debt can put pressure on public finances and limit future fiscal elbow room. For Kenya\, as for many emerging markets\, the pressing issue is how to reconcile borrowing with prudential management of debt and make sure that funds are steered to productive investment. It is this reconciliation that is central to sustaining growth\, creating employment\, and reducing inequality. \nThe debt debate is also accompanied by a contemplative glance at the role of multilateralism. Regional blocks and global financial institutions offer mechanisms that may enable or constrain domestic policy choice. Design of loan agreements\, debt rescheduling programs\, and world financial management carry deep consequences. The policymakers must negotiate for arrangements that promote sovereignty while giving access to the capital that will promote change. Through multilateral negotiation\, countries can move towards a more balanced system that equally matches the interests of creditors and the developmental objectives of borrowers. \nMoreover\, debt negotiations are not separable from the general argument about sustainability. Borrowing today and the choice to do so decide what options are available for future generations. Debt can pay for green energy\, climate resilience\, and technological progress—investment that will be stable over the long run if done judiciously. Debt can also drive dependencies and reduce the ability of nations to achieve their development goals if misused. \nDay Three will thus ask participants to pose the question of how debt\, development\, and multilateral partnership converge to influence the future of Kenya. Opportunities and challenges will be the focus of the discussion with a call to stakeholders to consider how to design financial strategies which are inclusive\, sustainable\, and transformative. \nThe following key topics shall form part of the discussion on the third day of the Seminar: \n\nDebt Sustainability and Restructuring:Strategies for managing and resolving sovereign debt crises and promoting responsible lending and borrowing.\nAffordable and Innovative Finance:Increasing concessional finance\, grants\, and local currency lending to bridge the development finance gap in the country.\nMobilizing Private Capital:Strategies to attract private investment to complement public development finance for achieving SDGs.\nReforming Multilateral Development Banks:Adapting and reforming multilateral development banks to meet new global challenges and enhance their relevance.\n\nDAY FOUR: THURSDAY  20TH NOV 2025- THE KENYA WE WANT  \nThe vision of a prosperous Kenya has always rested on aspirations of unity\, inclusivity\, and shared advancement. But realizing this vision requires an honest evaluation of where the country is now and a deliberate conversation on where it must head over the next few years. The Kenya We Want” is not a slogan—it is a call to action\, a blueprint for the future\, and a vow to create a society that is reflective of the aspirations and ideals of the people. \nKenya is a country that is full of potential with a youthful population\, abundant natural resources\, and a geoeconomic location at the center of the global economy. But it also continues to grapple with long-term issues of governance\, inequality\, and management of resources. To achieve the Kenya we all wish for\, stakeholders need to question how governance institutions can be made stronger to provide transparency\, efficiency\, and accountability. Strong institutions continue to be the foundation of economic development and social cohesion\, and their ongoing improvement is critical to making lasting progress. \nThe discussion is also about inclusivity. A Kenya for all is one where opportunities are not tilted in a few areas or a narrow elite\, but available to all Kenyans\, irrespective of station. This means closing gaps in education\, medicine\, road and other physical infrastructure\, and access to technology to make every Kenyan able to thrive in the 21st century. The. question is not merely how to open up opportunities\, but how to make them significant and lasting. \nInnovation and youth empowerment will be the central pillars of this vision. Young Kenyans already are reshaping industries\, from fintech to arts\, and are Kenya’s best hope for the future. By creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship\, skills\, and digital innovation\, Kenya will be able to carve out a path that is competitive and uniquely African. \nUltimately\, the Kenya we want is one built on values—responsibility\, solidarity\, equity\, and integrity. Day Four will provide room to converse across sectors and challenge participants to articulate a vision that is not only ambitious but also possible. The discussion will underscore that the future Kenya is built by us all and demands commitment\, creativity\, and cooperation today. \nThe following key topics shall form part of the discussion on the fourth day of the Seminar: \n\nKenyan Constitutionalism: The challenges and promises of constitutional reform in Kenya\nAnti-Corruption and Integrity:Strengthening governance and integrity frameworks and policies in the Country\nEthics at play: An overview of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\nChallenges and opportunities for elected leaders in steering the country to economic acceleration\n\nDAY FIVE: FRIDAY 21ST NOV  2025- WILLS\, TRUST & ESTATE PLANNING.  \nIn an era of unpredictability and uncharted change\, planning for the future is more important than ever before. Wills\, trusts\, and estate planning are not only legal processes; they are instruments of financial security\, family stability\, and intergenerational continuity as well. Day Five will explore the significance of these tools in the preservation of wealth\, honoring the individual’s intentions\, and organized succession in family and business contexts. \nFor families\, estate planning ensures that their treasures are shared as they wish\, reducing the possibility of conflict and uncertainty among loved ones. In societies where inheritance disputes break up families and deplete assets\, a plan is not only a smart thing to do\, but it must be done. Wills and trusts establish a framework that promotes equity\, clarity\, and respect for heritage. \nAt the business level\, continuity is most important and needs succession planning.

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) Cohort 1
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar cohort 1\nDate: 24th November   2025\nTime: 02.00pm-04.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow.

SUMMARY:International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) Seminar (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISAs Seminar (Mandatory Training)\nTheme: Translating ISAs into High-Impact Audit Practice\nDate: 26th -27th November 2025\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nKenya’s audit profession is experiencing profound transformation driven by regulatory reforms\, heightened public expectations\, increasingly complex business models\, and rapid technological change. As markets evolve\, stakeholders including investors\, regulators\, lenders\, development partners\, and the general public demand audits that are rigorous\, credible\, and value-driven. This heightened scrutiny places renewed emphasis on the auditor’s role as a guardian of financial integrity\, requiring them to consistently deliver work that restores confidence in financial reporting. \nInternational Standards on Auditing (ISAs) remain the cornerstone of audit quality. Yet\, inspection findings by ICPAK’s Quality Assurance reviews\, and global oversight bodies reveal persistent gaps in the consistent\, effective\, and judicious application of ISAs. While many practitioners understand ISAs conceptually\, challenges often arise when translating this knowledge into robust audit procedures\, high-quality documentation\, and evidence-based conclusions—particularly in high-pressure or resource-constrained environments. \nThe ability of Kenyan auditors to uphold audit quality is further tested by emerging risks and the increasing complexity of financial reporting. Judgement-intensive areas—such as fair value measurement\, impairment assessments\, expected credit losses\, revenue recognition\, and fraud risk demand deep technical understanding and professional scepticism. Simultaneously\, new reporting expectations\, sector-specific regulatory requirements\, and the acceleration of digital transformation are reshaping the audit landscape. These developments call for practitioners to move beyond mechanical compliance and adopt a dynamic\, risk-informed\, and forward-looking approach to applying ISAs. \nTranslating ISAs into high-impact audit practice therefore requires a strategic shift toward strengthening practical competence\, methodological discipline\, and professional judgement. Practitioners must not only interpret standards accurately but also operationalize them effectively across engagements of varying size\, complexity\, and risk profiles. By deepening practice-oriented mastery of ISAs\, the profession will be better positioned to elevate audit quality\, reduce recurring inspection findings\, and reinforce public trust in Kenya’s financial reporting ecosystem. \nIn response to this need\, ICPAK has designed a comprehensive two-day virtual symposium aimed at empowering assurance practitioners with the tools\, insights\, and confidence required to convert ISAs into tangible audit impact. The symposium will cover the following key areas: \n\n Strengthening Audit Quality Foundations\n\n\nRole of ISAs in enhancing credibility and public confidence\nPractical implementation of ISQM 1 and ISQM 2 in various firm sizes\nCommon QA inspection findings and how to address them\n\n\n ISA-Driven Audit Planning & Risk Assessment\n\n\nISA 300: Effective audit planning for quality outcomes\nISA 315 (Revised): Understanding the entity\, systems\, and risks\nEmbedding professional skepticism in risk identification and assessment\n\n\n High-Impact Execution of Audit Procedures\n\n\nISA 500: Understanding and evaluating sufficient appropriate audit evidence\nISA 530: Practical sampling techniques and pitfalls\nEvidence challenges in sectors such as SACCOs\, NGOs\, financial institutions\, and county governments\n\n\n Audit of Significant Judgement Areas\n\n\nISA 570: Going concern assessments under uncertainty\nISA 240: Addressing fraud risk with robust audit responses\nApproaches to complex estimates\, fair value\, and ECLs\n\n\n Effective Audit Documentation\n\n\nISA 230: Documentation requirements and common pitfalls\nBuilding audit files that withstand quality inspections\nReal-file analysis: Characteristics of high-quality working papers\n\n\n Technology-Enabled Audit Practice\n\n\nLeveraging audit data analytics for risk assessment and substantive testing\nNavigating digital audit trails and cybersecurity considerations\nEthical and effective use of AI tools in assurance engagements\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.

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) cohort 2
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar – cohort 2\nDate: 27th November   2025\nTime: 02.00pm-04.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1\, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000\, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms\, including tone at the top\, staff sensitization\, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies. \nBy the end of the webinar\, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently\, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity\, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n• Overview of the IESBA Code\n• The Conceptual Framework\n• Independence in Assurance Engagements\n• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice\n• Emerging Ethics Issues\n• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms \nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:THE 31ST EXECUTIVE SEMINAR
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 31st EXECUTIVE SEMINAR\nDate: 1st – 5th December 2025 \nVenue: Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus\, Turkey\nTheme: Adaptive Leadership Voyage for Organizational Success\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nExecutive leadership is critical for organizational success\, as it sets the vision\, aligns resources\, and drives execution. Effective leaders combine strategic thinking\, emotional intelligence\, and operational excellence to navigate challenges and inspire teams. Effective executive leadership is the cornerstone of organizational success\, serving as the driving force behind a company’s vision\, strategy\, and culture. Leaders at this level are responsible for setting a clear direction\, aligning resources\, and inspiring teams to achieve shared goals. By articulating a compelling vision\, executives provide a roadmap that guides decision-making and fosters unity across departments. This vision must be adaptable\, reflecting market shifts and internal capabilities\, while remaining rooted in the organization’s core values. Strong leaders not only define this path but also communicate it consistently\, ensuring every stakeholder understands their role in the broader mission. \nStrategic decision-making is another critical component of executive leadership. Executives must balance short-term operational needs with long-term growth objectives\, often under intense pressure and uncertainty. This requires a deep understanding of the industry\, data-driven insights\, and the ability to anticipate trends. Successful leaders leverage diverse perspectives\, encouraging input from their teams while maintaining decisiveness. They also prioritize resource allocation\, ensuring investments align with strategic goals. By fostering a culture of accountability\, executives ensure that decisions translate into measurable outcomes\, driving sustainable growth. \nEmotional intelligence is equally vital for executive leaders. The ability to empathize\, build trust\, and navigate complex interpersonal dynamics strengthens relationships with employees\, stakeholders\, and partners. Leaders who demonstrate self-awareness and adaptability can inspire loyalty and motivate teams through challenges. This is particularly important in times of crisis\, where calm\, transparent communication can stabilize an organization and maintain morale. By modelling resilience and integrity\, executives cultivate a workplace culture that values collaboration and innovation\, which are essential for long-term success. \nMoreover\, executive leadership involves empowering others to lead. Rather than centralizing authority\, effective executives delegate responsibly\, fostering a sense of ownership among team members. They invest in talent development\, ensuring employees have the skills and opportunities to grow. This not only builds a strong leadership pipeline but also enhances organizational agility\, as empowered teams are better equipped to respond to change. By recognizing and rewarding contributions\, leaders create an environment where individuals feel valued\, driving engagement and productivity. \nAdaptability and a commitment to continuous learning distinguish exceptional executive leaders. In a rapidly evolving global landscape\, leaders must stay informed about technological advancements\, regulatory changes\, and societal expectations. They must also be willing to challenge their own assumptions\, seeking feedback and embracing innovation. By fostering a culture of learning and experimentation\, executives position their organizations to navigate disruptions and seize new opportunities. Ultimately\, executive leadership is about balancing vision\, execution\, and empathy to create a resilient\, forward-thinking organization poised for enduring success. \nConsidering this\, ICPAK will hold a one-week Executive Seminar in Istanbul Turkey\, themed Adaptive Leadership Voyage for Organizational Success\, with an aim of bringing together senior corporate and public sector executives and upcoming leaders for a forthright discussion on matters touching on effective executive leadership. The seminar discussions will focus on: \n\nStrategic Leadership\, Ethical & Competitive Decision Making \nBusiness Model Reinvention & Adaptability – Existence beyond the decade \nArtificial Intelligence and Organizational Technology Integration \nConducting an Organizational Culture Health Check and Remediation- Practical session\nData Driven Decision Making for Executives – Visualizing beyond the numbers \nDeveloping a Global Business Acumen & Contextual Intelligence \nBook Review Insights: Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek \nExecutives Achieving more through Effective Delegation for Empowerment \nInnovation\, Disruption & Change Management – Leading your team through the phases. \nSurvival for the Greenest: Top Executives Championing the Sustainability Agenda \nBlack Swan Events and Organizational Resilience – Role of Top Executives \nThe Board & a Domineering Chair – How top Executives can navigate this\nIndustrial visit \n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nBoard Members\, Members of Board Committees\, Chief Executive Officers\, General Managers\, Managing Directors\, Heads of Government Units and Parastatals\, Governors of County Governments and Senators\, County Executive Committee Members\, Heads of Departments\, Members of Various Committees\, Senior Management\, and other interested participants. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nPrice\n\n\nKenyan based Members/ACCA Members\, Non-Members and International Delegates  \nKshs. 250\,000\n\n\n\n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD units upon successfully attending all seminar sessions. \nNITA REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2025
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2025\nTheme: Firming Integrity and accountability through risk intelligence and forensic insights\nDate: 1st – 5th December 2025\nVenue: Pride Inn Paradise Beach Resort\, Mombasa\nTime: 09.00am–03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nIt’s often unnoticed how much of our daily lives are shaped by systems of review\, accountability\, and control from managing personal budgets to planning and adjusting routines based on observed outcomes. Similarly\, in the world of institutions and businesses\, oversight and risk awareness determine the strength of internal systems\, the accuracy of financial reporting\, and the trustworthiness of leadership. Yet\, despite advanced governance frameworks and automated processes\, high-profile cases like the collapse of Wirecard AG\, the fraud allegations at Steinhoff International\, or regional procurement scandals across public institutions remind us how internal control weaknesses\, poor ethical tone\, and ignored red flags can unravel entire enterprises. \nOrganizations\, like individuals\, face a daily balancing act assessing uncertainties\, evaluating exposures\, and determining safeguards for both short and long-term objectives. In today’s dynamic economic and regulatory environment\, internal risks are no longer confined to operational inefficiencies or compliance lapses. They extend into deeper layers of organizational integrity\, ranging from undetected fraud\, cyber vulnerabilities\, poor governance practices\, and weak forensic frameworks that leave enterprises exposed to reputational and financial collapse. \nThese failures reveal a recurring pattern: internal risks often go unchecked not because controls are absent\, but because they are outdated\, poorly implemented\, or compromised from within. Internal risks arise when there is a disconnect between strategy\, the controlling environment\, and ethical execution. From improper segregation of duties and override of controls to insider threats and data manipulation\, these risks manifest subtly and often grow undetected. Forensic interventions—driven by data analytics\, digital evidence gathering\, whistleblower reports\, and structured fraud investigations—are now central to uncovering the truth behind financial inconsistencies and misconduct. \nThe role of internal controls is no longer confined to compliance; they now form a strategic layer of protection against financial misstatement\, reputational damage\, and legal exposure. Through risk assessments\, fraud detection mechanisms\, whistleblower systems\, data audit trails\, and governance ethics\, professionals across industries can build more secure\, transparent environments. Whether tackling procurement irregularities\, AML risks\, cyber manipulation\, or accountability lapses in public service delivery\, a collaborative and analytical approach is key. \nThis conference seeks to address the evolving nature of internal risks through the lens of forensic practice. It will explore how internal audit\, compliance functions\, governance structures\, and forensic accountants can work collaboratively to detect\, investigate\, and mitigate threats that compromise financial and operational health. Drawing from real-life case studies\, legal insights\, and technology-led detection methods\, this forum offers a platform to reimagine organizational resilience in the face of growing risk exposure. \nJoin ICPAK\, a multi-sectoral engagement addressing internal risks and forensic strategies that support long-term credibility\, trust\, and operational strength. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program

SUMMARY:International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS)\nTheme: INPAS and the Future of Non-Profit Reporting: Enhancing Trust\, Accountability & Impact Transparency\nDate:2nd December 2025\nTime: 8:00 am to 11:00 am\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nThe International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents one of the most significant modern developments in global financial reporting for the not-for-profit sector. As NPOs continue to play critical roles in advancing social\, economic and human-development agendas\, the need for consistent\, comparable\, transparent and decision-useful reporting has become more urgent. INPAS is intended to provide a globally coherent framework that enables non-profits to communicate performance\, stewardship\, accountability and impact using standardized accounting and disclosure principles. Its introduction seeks to resolve long-standing inconsistencies\, especially where NPOs rely on improvised internal policies or apply for-profit standards that do not appropriately reflect mission-centric activities\, donor restrictions\, program delivery dynamics and resource deployment structures. \nINPAS is not only a harmonization exercise; it provides clarity in key reporting areas such as recognition of resource inflows\, the accounting treatment of donor-imposed conditions\, attribution of expenditure to program portfolios\, measurement of performance\, narrative reporting and fund accountability. Unlike general-purpose accounting standards that were not written for the non-profit domain\, INPAS responds directly to unique sector characteristics such as restricted funding\, grant commitments\, volunteer contributions\, social-value outcomes and multi-stakeholder assurance needs. Non-profit reporting is therefore expected to transition away from inconsistent classification practices\, unverifiable impact statements and fragmented accounting treatments that currently limit comparability and weaken sector confidence. \nGlobal conversations around impact measurement\, trust restoration\, funding transparency\, donor confidence and public accountability continue to intensify. Development partners\, auditors\, regulators\, philanthropies and funding institutions are increasingly demanding standard-consistent reporting that demonstrates responsible resource use\, clear alignment between programs and expenditure\, and enhanced traceability of outcomes. INPAS responds to this shift by aligning reporting with global accountability expectations\, improving comparability\, elevating the quality of disclosures and strengthening intelligence for resource allocation decisions. \nWith rising societal expectations\, governance reforms\, anti-corruption agendas and ESG-linked donor priorities\, non-profit reporting can no longer be confined to traditional financial statements. The sector’s trust proposition depends on visibility into how funds translate into services and how actions generate real change. INPAS will therefore influence how NPOs record\, classify\, measure\, present and narrate the way value is created and delivered. This transition\, from narrow financial reporting to integrated program-performance reporting\, is highly strategic: reporting becomes a driver of confidence\, not merely a compliance exercise. \nIt is in response to this evolving context\, and ahead of INPAS implementation\, that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is convening this training to equip preparers\, reviewers and professionals with practical skills\, contextual understanding and transition readiness\, so that by the time formal adoption arrives\, the sector will be informed\, empowered and aligned for confident implementation. \nTopics to be covered include: \n\nPurpose\, structure and foundations of INPAS\nFinancial reporting for NPOs under a principles-based global model\nClassification\, recognition and presentation of NPO-specific transactions\nAccounting for restricted funds\, grants\, donations and conditional inflows\nProgram expenditure mapping\, outcome reporting and value attribution\nNarrative reporting and performance accountability frameworks\nTransition considerations\, practical challenges and implementation pathways\nTechnology enablement and digitization for INPAS-aligned reporting\n\n Your Financial Commitment \nThe training will be free . \nCPD Units \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending all sessions. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNita Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Ethics for professional accountants Webinar (Mandatory Training) cohort 3
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEthics for professional accountants Webinar – cohort 3\nDate: 3rd December  2025\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nEthics continues to be a foundational pillar of the accounting profession\, especially as practitioners face increasing client pressures\, tightening regulatory expectations and rapid technological changes that introduce new forms of ethical risk. Recent updates to the IESBA Code\, ongoing enforcement actions globally and the growing ethical considerations in areas such as sustainability reporting and technology use demonstrate why continuous ethics renewal is essential. For practitioners in Kenya\, compliance with the International Code of Ethics including the International Independence Standards is not only a professional obligation but also a regulatory requirement embedded in the Accountants Act and ICPAK’s Quality Assurance Review framework. \nThis webinar will provide a practical and experience-driven understanding of the Code\, enabling practitioners to interpret and apply its requirements in real-world scenarios. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of integrity\, objectivity\, professional competence and due care\, confidentiality and professional behaviour\, and consider how these principles translate into daily decision-making within firms. A central focus will be the conceptual framework approach\, which guides practitioners in identifying threats to compliance\, evaluating their significance and implementing appropriate safeguards. The session will emphasize the most common threats such as self-interest\, self-review\, advocacy\, familiarity and intimidation and will demonstrate how proper documentation supports ethical judgments in practice. \nIndependence in assurance engagements will be another major theme\, especially given its prominence in Quality Assurance Review findings. The discussions will address fee dependency\, long association\, relationships involving network firms and distinctions between independence requirements for audit and other assurance engagements. To anchor these principles\, the webinar will incorporate realistic ethical dilemmas drawn from the experiences of small and medium practices\, touching on issues such as client pressure\, conflicts of interest\, fee negotiations\, scope creep and ethical leadership challenges within firms. \nEmerging issues will also form part of the discourse\, particularly the ethical implications of technology and artificial intelligence\, where concerns about confidentiality\, data protection\, objectivity and professional behaviour continue to grow. Participants will reflect on the ethical dimensions of sustainability reporting and assurance under IFRS S1\, IFRS S2 and ISSA 5000\, as well as anti-money laundering obligations and cybersecurity considerations tied to digital records. The session will conclude with practical guidance on building and sustaining an ethical culture in firms\, including tone at the top\, staff sensitization\, internal escalation mechanisms and the integration of ethical expectations into firm methodologies and policies. \nBy the end of the webinar\, practitioners are expected to be better equipped to apply the IESBA Code confidently\, recognize and respond to high-risk ethical situations and document their rationale in line with regulatory expectations. The aim is to support practitioners in reducing exposure to ethical and independence breaches while fostering a culture of integrity\, accountability and sound professional judgment across the profession. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n• Overview of the IESBA Code\n• The Conceptual Framework\n• Independence in Assurance Engagements\n• Managing Ethical Dilemmas in Practice\n• Emerging Ethics Issues\n• Strengthening the Ethical Culture of Firms \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.

DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTaxation Workshop (Coast Branch) Mandatory Training\nDate: 4th-5th December  2025\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: City Blue Creekside Hotel\, Mombasa\n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nTax revenue is the main source of revenue for financing government programs and operations in any jurisdiction. In Kenya\, recent tax measures instituted by the Kenya kwanza administration have elicited robust debates among citizens sometimes leading to public protest like the one witnessed in June 2024. Opponents of the recent tax laws have pointed out that the increased taxes have led to the relocation of many multinational firms to neighbouring countries citing increased cost of doing business arising from high levels of taxation in Kenya. \nIt therefore goes without saying that taxation impacts significantly on the operating environment of businesses in any jurisdiction. In Kenya\, the various tax measures that have been put in place and increased complexities arising from compliance to the new tax laws and regulation is a major challenge to many taxpayers. This has often led to the closure of several local businesses and has adversely affected the continuity of a significant number of well-established firms. Because of this\, some firms have been forced to hire or establish tax departments to ensure tax compliance. Non-compliance to tax laws not only attracts costly tax penalties and fines but also limits business opportunities with public sector entities where tax compliance certificate is one of the key prerequisites. \nIt is against this background that the Institute has organized a two-day physical training designed to strengthen the practical knowledge and application of taxation laws for ICPAK members and relevant public finance professionals. It will provide deep insights into key tax laws while highlighting recent tax measures and developments and emerging tax issues relevant to Kenyan firms and persons.
