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reveal a recurring pattern: internal risks often go unchecked not because controls are absent\, but because they are outdated\, poorly implemented\, or compromised from within.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.

SUMMARY:Taxation Workshop Coast Branch (Mandatory Training)
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. To guide the discussion during the Seminar\, the following topics of discussion will form the focus of this very important workshop: \nEmerging Tax Issues: Trends and Future Outlook \n\nExploring emerging tax challenges and opportunities.\nAddressing the evolving tax landscape with a focus on global and local developments.\nSummary of Key Tax procedures Act requirements and tax amendments\n\nThe digital economy  \n\nTaxation of the digital economy – the international developments and the local legislation\n\nIn-Depth Technical Session: Corporate Tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and Withholding Tax \n\nA comprehensive review of the latest developments in corporate tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and withholding tax.\nPractical case studies and strategies for managing these tax obligations efficiently.\n\nEffective Tax Risk Management Strategies \n\nIdentifying and mitigating key tax risks for businesses and individuals.\nBest practices for maintaining compliance while minimizing liabilities.\nTax Compliance\, planning and management of Risk\nTax Amnesty and Voluntary tax disclosure and Role of Tax Incentives and Tax Compliance\n\nRecent Tax Law Changes: Implications for Businesses \n\nA detailed analysis of recent changes in tax law and their impact on different sectors.\nStrategies for businesses to adapt and comply with evolving tax regulations.\nTax dispute resolution mechanisms- the efficacy alternative dispute resolution in enhancing tax compliance\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 workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.

Meetings serve as essential platforms for communication\, collaboration\, and strategic alignment.

By observing proper meeting etiquette\, professionals can ensure that meetings are purposeful\, inclusive\, and productive. \nMeeting etiquette includes practices such as setting clear agendas\, starting and ending on time\, active listening\, minimizing interruptions\, respectful dialogue\, and following through on action items. These standards create an environment where participants feel valued\, discussions stay focused\, and decisions are made efficiently. In virtual or hybrid settings\, etiquette becomes even more important to maintain professionalism and engagement. \nComplementing meeting etiquette is the ability to delegate tasks effectively\, a key leadership function that empowers teams and drives productivity. Effective delegation involves identifying suitable tasks to assign\, choosing the right individuals based on competencies\, communicating expectations clearly\, and providing support and feedback. It enables leaders to focus on strategic priorities\, while building capacity and accountability within their teams. \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) invites you to this virtual webinar as it aims to enhance participants’ professional communication\, organizational leadership\, and team management capabilities. This training will provide practical insights and tools to improve how meetings are conducted and how responsibilities are shared for optimal performance. Participants will leave equipped to foster collaboration\, streamline workflows\, and contribute to a culture of trust and effectiveness. \nKey Areas to Be Discussed During the Session \n\nPrinciples of Meeting Etiquette – Understanding professional behaviors in physical and virtual meetings\, including tone\, language\, turn-taking\, and respecting diverse viewpoints.\nPlanning and Structuring Effective Meetings – Developing clear agendas\, setting objectives\, allocating time appropriately\, and managing follow-up actions.\nChairing and Participating in Meetings\nCommon Pitfalls in Meetings and How to Avoid Them– Identifying causes of unproductive meetings and applying corrective strategies.\nUnderstanding Delegation as a Leadership Tool\nThe Delegation Process – Steps for effective delegation: selecting tasks\, matching skills\, setting expectations\, monitoring progress\, and providing feedback.\nOvercoming Delegation Challenges\nSimulating Real-World Scenarios\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Team leaders\, Managers\, Supervisors\, 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:Taxation Workshop Nyanza Branch (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTaxation Workshop (Nyanza Branch) Mandatory Training\nTheme: Leveraging Tax Incentives for Economic Growth and Investment\nDate: 10th – 11th December 2025\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Acacia Premier Hotel\, Kisumu\n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nKenya’s tax landscape is undergoing continuous transformation\, influenced by both international developments and local policy shifts\, particularly within the growing digital economy. The enactment of the Tax Procedures Act and subsequent tax reforms have introduced more rigorous compliance obligations\, stiffer penalties\, and automation aimed at boosting accountability and transparency within the tax system. While these efforts enhance the overall efficiency of tax administration\, they also present added challenges for businesses\, increasing operational costs and complicating compliance. To adapt effectively\, taxpayers must gain a solid understanding of core tax areas such as corporate tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and withholding tax\, as well as the implications of digital service taxation. Practical guidance and case studies can help navigate this complex environment and foster strategic compliance. \nWith growing regulatory scrutiny\, businesses must elevate tax compliance as a strategic priority by adopting effective tax risk management practices. Establishing internal tax functions has become essential for identifying potential exposures and avoiding disruptions such as audits\, penalties\, and agency notices. Programs like tax amnesties and voluntary disclosures offer a pathway for taxpayers to rectify past non-compliance without incurring excessive penalties. Additionally\, the increasing application of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms has proven effective in resolving tax disputes more amicably and efficiently\, easing the litigation burden and promoting better relationships between taxpayers and authorities. \nRecent fiscal policies introduced by the Kenya Kwanza administration have sparked intense public discourse\, with some measures triggering widespread discontent\, including protests like those seen in June 2024. A major concern among stakeholders is the rising cost of doing business\, which has prompted some multinational companies to shift operations to neighboring countries with more favorable tax regimes. These developments underscore the profound impact taxation has on business sustainability\, investment decisions\, and economic competitiveness. Navigating this volatile environment requires businesses to stay informed and agile in responding to new regulations and shifting tax obligations. \nIn response to the changing tax terrain and its implications for both local and multinational firms\, the Institute has organized a two-day\, in-person workshop targeting ICPAK members and public finance professionals. This training aims to enhance participants’ technical knowledge and practical application of tax laws\, offering in-depth analysis of recent legislative updates\, tax incentives\, and compliance strategies.Through this forum\, professionals will be better equipped to manage tax risks\, remain compliant\, and support their organizations in navigating Kenya’s increasingly complex tax regime. To guide the discussion during the Seminar\, the following topics of discussion will form the focus of this very important workshop: \n\nTax Risk Management\, Planning\, and the Role of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – Strategies for managing tax risks\, importance of internal tax functions\, and the increasing relevance of ADR in resolving tax disputes efficiently.\nIn-Depth Technical Session: Corporate Tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and Withholding Tax\n\n\nA comprehensive review of the latest developments in corporate tax\, VAT\, PAYE\, and withholding tax.\nPractical case studies and strategies for managing these tax obligations efficiently.\n\n\nEffective Tax Risk Management Strategies\n\n\nIdentifying and mitigating key tax risks for businesses and individuals.\nBest practices for maintaining compliance while minimizing liabilities.\nTax Compliance\, planning and management of Risk\nTax Amnesty and Voluntary tax disclosure and Role of Tax Incentives and Tax Compliance\n\n\nTax Procedures Act and Recent Tax Amendments: Implications for Compliance and Enforcement\n\n\nkey provisions of the Tax Procedures Act\, new filing procedures\, penalties\, and automation efforts to support transparency and accountability.\nA detailed analysis of recent changes in tax law and their impact on different sectors.\nStrategies for businesses to adapt and comply with evolving tax regulations.\nTax dispute resolution mechanisms- the efficacy alternative dispute resolution in enhancing tax compliance\n\n\nTax Incentives and Compliance: Evaluating the Impact on Investment and Economic Growth\n\n\nKenya’s tax incentive regime\, including voluntary disclosure and tax amnesty programs\, and how they influence compliance and development.\n\n\nNavigating the Taxation of the Digital Economy: Local Implementation and Global Trends\n\n\nExploration of digital service tax laws\, international tax developments\, and their implications for businesses operating in the digital space.\n\n\nEmerging Tax Issues: Trends and Future Outlook\n\n\nExploring emerging tax challenges and opportunities.\nKRA Special Table\nAddressing the evolving tax landscape with a focus on global and local developments.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis seminar 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:INPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)\nTheme- Strengthening Financial Reporting for Transparency\, Accountability & Donor Confidence\n22nd – 23rd January 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue – CPA Centre \nOverview \n Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) occupy a unique space in society\, delivering social impact and advancing development goals across sectors. Their operations rely heavily on funding from donors\, grants\, and other resources that require careful stewardship. Accurate\, comprehensive\, and transparent financial reporting is central to sustaining stakeholder confidence\, demonstrating accountability\, and ensuring compliance with statutory and donor requirements. However\, NPOs often face challenges in financial reporting due to multiple funding sources\, restricted and unrestricted funds\, donor-specific requirements\, and sector-specific accounting standards. \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. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics: \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics:\n1.
