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:Financial Reporting Seminar (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nFinancial Reporting Seminar (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th – 18th December 2025\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe global financial reporting landscape continues to rapidly change with the ongoing drive for greater regulatory scrutiny\, technological transformation and calls for transparent and comparable information. The International Financial Reporting Standards remain at the core of promoting high-quality financial reporting\, and professionals must remain updated on new standards\, amendments and challenges in implementation. The virtual symposium is therefore structured to attain current comprehensions of IFRS requirements that would ensure that participants maintain competence in an environment in which accuracy and compliance are not open to negotiation. \nIFRS has been subject to significant updates lately\, including new guidance on financial instruments\, revenue\, leases\, sustainability disclosures and insurance contracts. In fact\, the updated standards have far-reaching implications on recognition\, measurement\, presentation and disclosure. The symposium will provide practical insights into how to navigate these complex standards\, emerging issues associated with fair value measurement\, impairment assessments and financial risk disclosures\, along with integration of sustainability information under IFRS S1 & S2. \nThe increasing demands of the profession go hand in hand with expectations for professional judgment to be exercised and consistency to be maintained in financial reporting\, amidst the ever-evolving business models and sophisticated transactions.

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. INPAS Principles\na. Non-Profit Organizations\nb. Concepts and pervasive principles\nc. Narrative reporting\nd. Fair value measurement\ne. Foreign currency translation \n2. Financial statements\na.

SUMMARY:INPAS Practical Course on Reporting for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) virtual option
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 – Virtual Delivery \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.

SUMMARY:Personal Branding and Leadership Webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPersonal Branding and Leadership Webinar\nDate: 27th January 2026\nTime: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nPersonal branding is the intentional process of shaping how others perceive you\, both professionally and personally. It goes beyond a polished resume or social media profile; it encompasses your values\, expertise\, communication style\, and the consistent narrative you project in every interaction. In today’s interconnected world\, where reputations can be built or dismantled rapidly online\, a strong personal brand acts as a compass\, guiding decisions and attracting opportunities aligned with your authentic self. For leaders\, personal branding is not about self-promotion alone but about establishing trust and credibility that inspires others to follow. \nEffective leadership and personal branding are deeply intertwined. A leader’s brand reflects their vision\, integrity\, and ability to deliver results\, serving as a signal to teams\, stakeholders\, and peers. When leaders articulate a clear personal brand—such as being innovative\, empathetic\, or decisive—they create a framework that others can understand and rally behind. This clarity reduces ambiguity in decision-making and fosters alignment within organizations. Without a deliberate brand\, leaders risk being defined by others’ assumptions\, which may not accurately represent their strengths or intentions. \nAuthenticity is the cornerstone of sustainable personal branding in leadership. Audiences quickly detect inauthenticity\, leading to eroded trust. Great leaders build their brands around genuine strengths and values rather than fabricating an idealized image. For instance\, vulnerability in admitting mistakes or sharing personal growth stories can humanize a leader\, making them more relatable and approachable. This authentic approach not only strengthens the leader’s brand but also models behaviour that encourages openness and resilience in their teams. \nConsistency amplifies the impact of a personal brand. Leaders must ensure their actions\, words\, and online presence align across contexts—whether in boardrooms\, public speeches\, or casual conversations. Inconsistencies\, such as preaching collaboration while hoarding information\, undermine credibility faster than any external criticism. Over time\, consistent reinforcement of core messages—through storytelling\, visual identity\, and repeated behaviours—solidifies the brand in others’ minds\, turning perception into a reliable asset. \nPersonal branding also empowers leaders to navigate challenges and transitions. In times of crisis\, a well-established brand built on transparency and competence provides a buffer of goodwill. Similarly\, when pursuing new roles or expanding influence\, a strong brand precedes the leader\, opening doors through referrals and recognition. Leaders who invest in their brand proactively position themselves as thought leaders\, attracting talent\, partnerships\, and opportunities that align with their goals. \nUltimately\, personal branding in leadership is a strategic tool for amplifying impact. It transforms individual reputation into a force that elevates teams\, organizations\, and industries. By thoughtfully crafting and maintaining their brand\, leaders not only advance their own careers but also inspire others to develop their unique voices. In an era where influence often stems from perception as much as performance\, mastering personal branding remains a critical leadership competency. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on how to build your strong personal brand in a leadership space. \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals from different spheres \nCPD Units:  \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 2 Structured CPD Units. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe Webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT). The Institute’s registration number is DIT/TRN/47. Participants who are registered levy contributors should apply to NITA for reimbursement of their fees.

SUMMARY:Reporting on IPSAS Accrual-Practical Course
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nReporting on IPSAS Accrual Practical Course\nDate: 29th – 30th January 2026\nTime: 9.00-15.30\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium\nTheme: Transitioning from Cash to Accrual Reporting under IPSAS \nOverview \nPublic sector entities globally are increasingly transitioning from cash-basis accounting to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) Accrual basis to improve transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. For instance the Kenyan cabinet in March 2024 approved the transition from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting with effect from 1st July 2024. The accrual basis of accounting\, as outlined by IPSAS\, provides a more accurate picture of a government’s financial position and performance by recognizing transactions when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid. \nThis move is necessitated by the short-coming of cash basis of accounting with its attendant weaknesses arising from the point of view o financial transparency\, integrity and accountability.  Governments that follow cash basis of accounting tend not to maintain comprehensive and up-to date records of the value of their assets and liabilities. \nThe enabling factors of accrual accounting in the public sector include and is not limited to: growing recognition of the limits of pure cash basis of accounting; the development of accrual based international standards for government fiscal and financial reporting including government Finance statistics manual (GFSM) and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS); the professionalization of the government accounting cadre and resulting introduction of private sector techniques into the public sector and the advent of computerized financial management information system (FMISs) which greatly reduce the transaction costs of collecting and consolidating accrual-based information. While many organizations have adopted IPSAS in principle\, practical challenges remain in compiling\, analyzing\, and reporting accrual-based financial statements. \nThese organizations\, often require hands on training to ensure they can correctly apply IPSAS requirements\, prepare compliant financial statements\, and understand the implications of accrual adjustments and disclosures. This two day practical course is designed to address these gaps by equipping participants with the knowledge and tools needed for accurate IPSAS-compliant reporting. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations and Practical Application of IPSAS Accrual\n\nOverview of IPSAS and the conceptual framework\nKey differences between cash basis and accrual basis reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nPractical sessions on:\n\n\nProperty\, plant\, and equipment (IPSAS 17)\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31)\n\n\nRevenue from exchange and non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 9 & 23)\n\n\nEmployee benefits (IPSAS 39)\n\nPreparing IPSAS Compliant Financial Statements\n\nAccrual adjustments and closing processes\nPreparing primary financial statements:\n\n\nStatement of Financial Performance\nStatement of Financial Position\n\n\nCash Flow Statement (IPSAS 2)\n\n\nStatement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity\nNotes and disclosures requirements\nConsolidated financial statements (IPSAS 35–38)\n\n\nPractical exercise: Full preparation of an IPSAS-compliant set of financial statements.\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis webinar will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers.\nGovernment auditors.\n\n\nPublic finance management professionals.\n\n\nInternal auditors and financial controllers.\nManagers and decision-makers in public institutions who are responsible for financial oversight.\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the 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 two day practical course is designed to address these gaps by equipping participants with the knowledge and tools needed for accurate IPSAS-compliant reporting. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations and Practical Application of IPSAS Accrual\n\nOverview of IPSAS and the conceptual framework\nKey differences between cash basis and accrual basis reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nPractical sessions on:\n\n\nProperty\, plant\, and equipment (IPSAS 17)\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31)\n\n\nRevenue from exchange and non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 9 & 23)\n\n\nEmployee benefits (IPSAS 39)\n\nPreparing IPSAS Compliant Financial Statements\n\nAccrual adjustments and closing processes\nPreparing primary financial statements:\n\n\nStatement of Financial Performance\nStatement of Financial Position\n\n\nCash Flow Statement (IPSAS 2)\n\n\nStatement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity\nNotes and disclosures requirements\nConsolidated financial statements (IPSAS 35–38)\n\n\nPractical exercise: Full preparation of an IPSAS-compliant set of financial statements.\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis webinar will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers.\nGovernment auditors.\n\n\nPublic finance management professionals.\n\n\nInternal auditors and financial controllers.\nManagers and decision-makers in public institutions who are responsible for financial oversight.\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the 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.

SUMMARY:IFRS for SMEs (Third Edition) webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS for SMEs (Third Edition)\nDate: 5th February 2025\nTime: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nMode of Delivery: Virtual \nOverview \nThe IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard (Third Edition) was released by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in 2024 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with early application permitted. This revision represents the most substantial overhaul of the Standard since its inception\, incorporating updated principles from full IFRS and addressing the evolving reporting needs of small and medium-sized entities. Because SMEs form a significant share of Kenya’s economic fabric\, supporting more than 40 percent of the country’s GDP and employing the majority of the workforce\, it is essential that professional accountants fully understand the implications of these changes for financial reporting\, audit\, and advisory work. \nThe webinar seeks to enhance members’ technical capacity by providing an in-depth exploration of the key changes in the Third Edition. Participants will be introduced to updates related to revenue recognition\, financial instruments\, the expected credit loss model\, and refinements in measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements. The session will also explain why the IASB undertook the revision\, how the new edition aligns with full IFRS standards\, and what this means for both preparers and auditors serving SME clients. Special attention will be given to Kenya’s unique environment\, including the practical challenges SMPs and SMEs are likely to face as the new Standard comes into effect. \nThrough this event\, ICPAK aims to help members understand not only what has changed\, but why it matters. The webinar will unpack transition requirements and highlight the implications for compliance\, audit work\, documentation\, and quality control. Members will also have the opportunity to engage experts through a dedicated question-and-answer session\, enabling them to clarify technical issues and discuss practical implementation concerns. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants are expected to have strengthened their understanding of the Standard’s conceptual foundations and improved their ability to apply the updated requirements in real-world reporting scenarios. The session will contribute to more consistent\, transparent\, and decision-useful SME financial statements\, thereby promoting public confidence in the profession. It will also support practitioners in navigating audit implications\, advising SME clients on transition\, and identifying opportunities to enhance compliance and reporting quality. \nOverall\, this webinar will reinforce ICPAK’s commitment to strengthening professional competence and contributing to the successful national adoption and implementation of the IFRS for SMEs (Third Edition)\, ensuring that Kenyan accountants remain aligned with global reporting developments and best practice. \n Target Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:International Standard on Assurance Engagements- ISAE 3000 (Revised) webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Standard on Assurance Engagements- ISAE 3000 (Revised)\nDATE: 10th February 2026\nTIME: 4:00pm–6:00pm\nMode Of Delivery: Virtual \nOverview \nAs the demand for assurance in areas such as sustainability reporting\, internal control evaluations\, compliance reviews\, information systems\, and risk management continues to grow\, ISAE 3000 (Revised) has become an increasingly critical standard in both practice and industry. It provides the foundational principles and procedures for assurance engagements that do not involve audits or reviews of historical financial information\, making it essential for practitioners seeking to meet evolving stakeholder expectations in an environment of heightened transparency and accountability. \nThe webinar is intended to help members deepen their understanding of the Standard’s core requirements\, including ethical considerations\, quality management\, risk assessment\, evidence gathering\, documentation\, and assurance reporting. As Kenya and the broader global profession move toward expanded assurance especially in sustainability (including IFRS S1 and S2 assurance)\, ESG disclosures\, donor-funded projects\, regulatory compliance engagements\, and assurance over internal processes\, ISAE 3000 (Revised) is increasingly becoming the benchmark for credibility in non-financial assurance work. \nThrough this session\, ICPAK will provide participants with a practitioner-focused exploration of the Standard. The webinar will explain the distinctions between limited and reasonable assurance\, clarify the practical implications of the revised quality management requirements\, and demonstrate how ISAE 3000 (Revised) interacts with subject-matter specific standards such as ISSA 5000 (Greenhouse Gas Statements)\, ISAE 3420 (Assurance on Pro Forma Information)\, and the emerging sustainability assurance frameworks. Case examples will illustrate how the Standard applies in real practice scenarios\, including engagements common in Kenya such as fund accountability statements\, performance audits\, procurement compliance\, and sustainability reporting assurance. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of how to plan\, perform\, and report on an ISAE 3000 (Revised) engagement while maintaining professional skepticism\, complying with ethical requirements\, and ensuring robust documentation. The session will also highlight common pitfalls encountered by practitioners\, including issues related to obtaining suitable criteria\, identifying risks of misstatement in non-financial information\, agreeing the scope of work\, and managing client expectations regarding the level of assurance provided. \nOverall\, this webinar aligns with ICPAK’s commitment to advancing professional excellence and supporting its members as the scope of the assurance profession expands. By strengthening understanding of ISAE 3000 (Revised)\, the Institute will contribute to improved quality\, consistency\, and credibility in Kenya’s non-financial assurance landscape\, positioning members to seize emerging opportunities in sustainability\, governance\, compliance\, and risk assurance. \nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking \nWe call on interested participants to note that booking for the event is available online at www.icpak.com  and will close two hours before the training session. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSASB
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSAB\nDATE: 16th to 20th February 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVENUE: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha\nTheme: IPSAS Accrual Reporting: Lessons\, Challenges\, and Practical Improvements after the First Year \nOVERVIEW \nOver the past several years\, many public sector entities have undertaken significant public financial management reforms aimed at enhancing transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. A central pillar of these reforms has been the transition from cash or modified cash accounting frameworks to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis. \nRecently\, a large number of entities have successfully completed their first full year of IPSAS Accrual financial reporting. This milestone represents a major institutional achievement\, reflecting extensive efforts in policy development\, systems configuration\, data migration\, asset verification\, staff training\, and change management. However\, international experience and local practice consistently demonstrate that the first year of accrual reporting is primarily a learning and stabilization phase\, rather than a point of full technical maturity. \nDuring first-year implementation\, preparers often focus on meeting statutory deadlines and achieving basic compliance\, sometimes at the expense of depth\, consistency\, and optimal application of professional judgment. As a result\, first-year IPSAS Accrual financial statements frequently exhibit common challenges\, including: \n\nIncomplete or unreliable opening balances\nInconsistent application of recognition and measurement principles\nWeak linkage between accounting policies and actual transactions\nOver-reliance on transitional exemptions and pragmatic shortcuts\nDisclosure gaps and boilerplate notes that do not fully explain financial position or performance\nRecurrent audit queries and qualifications linked to valuation\, consolidation\, and revenue recognition\n\nFurthermore\, the transition to IPSAS Accrual significantly expands the scope and complexity of financial reporting. Preparers are required to account for assets\, liabilities\, provisions\, non-exchange transactions\, and financial instruments that were previously unrecognized or only partially disclosed. This shift places heavy demands on professional judgment\, interdepartmental coordination\, and the quality of underlying data\, areas that typically remain underdeveloped in the first reporting cycle. \nAt the same time\, expectations from auditors\, oversight institutions\, development partners\, and the public increase sharply after the first year. Stakeholders anticipate not just technical compliance\, but demonstrable improvement in the credibility\, consistency\, and decision-usefulness of financial statements. Preparers are therefore under pressure to move beyond “first-time adoption mode” and begin embedding IPSAS Accrual into routine financial management processes. \nAgainst this backdrop\, there is a clear need for a post–first-year\, practice-focused capacity-building intervention. Rather than reintroducing IPSAS from first principles\, this course is intentionally designed to help preparers: \n\nReflect critically on their first-year reporting experience\nDiagnose recurring weaknesses and root causes\nAddress audit findings and strengthen documentation\nImprove judgments\, estimates\, and disclosures\nBuild confidence for second-year and subsequent reporting cycles\n\nThis course recognizes that high-quality IPSAS Accrual reporting is achieved progressively\, through iterative learning\, peer exchange\, and continuous improvement. By anchoring the training on real challenges encountered in the first year of reporting\, the course supports public sector entities in transitioning from initial compliance to robust\, sustainable\, and value-enhancing accrual-based financial reporting. \nTopics to be covered will include: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nReflections on the First Year of IPSAS Accrual

SUMMARY:THE 8th BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE MASTERCLASS
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 8th BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE MASTERCLASS\nTheme: Transforming Audit Committees into Engines of Organizational Transformation\nDate: 16th -20thFebruary 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nOVERVIEW \nThe corporate landscape is undergoing its most profound transformation yet. Regulatory expectations are tightening\, stakeholders are demanding greater transparency\, technology is reshaping business models\, and economic uncertainty is testing organizational endurance. In the midst of these shifts\, one governance organ has become indispensable to organizational stability and strategic foresight—the Audit Committee. Its mandate has expanded far beyond reviewing financial statements; it now plays a decisive role in safeguarding institutional integrity\, strengthening risk culture\, and anchoring long-term resilience. \nYet\, even with their growing prominence\, the performance of Audit Committees in Kenya remains mixed. Many committees continue to grapple with limited independence\, insufficient technical support\, and mandates that are not fully aligned to the realities of modern governance. These gaps constrain their ability to deliver high-impact oversight. A truly effective Audit Committee must be grounded in strong leadership\, deep governance insight\, and a firm grasp of the assurance ecosystem spanning internal audit\, external audit\, risk management\, and compliance. \nExpectations placed on Audit Committees today are higher than ever. Beyond reviewing compliance\, committees are now expected to be forward-looking advisors—providing strategic guidance\, anticipating emerging threats\, reinforcing internal controls\, and cultivating ethical and accountable cultures. Achieving this shift requires members who are agile\, analytically strong\, and well-versed in the transformative potential of data\, technology\, and modern assurance practices. Only then can they identify vulnerabilities early\, navigate disruptions with confidence\, and support management in building sustainable financial and operational systems. \nTo remain influential and future-ready\, Audit Committees must embrace agility and continuous development. This involves staying current with governance trends\, undertaking regular charter reviews\, carrying out committee performance assessments\, and strengthening teamwork and collegiality. Committees must also invest deliberately in member development to sharpen oversight capabilities. These elements are essential to repositioning Audit Committees as proactive engines of organizational resilience—committees that do not simply observe risk but actively shape the institution’s capacity to withstand and thrive through uncertainty. \nA future-ready Audit Committee requires mastery of critical domains such as risk governance\, internal audit effectiveness\, compliance oversight\, cybersecurity readiness\, ESG accountability\, and performance monitoring. Strengthening these competencies transforms Audit Committees into influential strategic partners who inspire trust\, drive value\, and guide organizations with steadiness through shifting economic and technological landscapes. \nTo support this transformation\, ICPAK presents the 7th Audit Committee Masterclass—a five-day intensive program designed to elevate the impact of Audit Committees in Kenya. With a blend of case-based learning\, expert-led discussions\, and practical governance insights\, the Masterclass will unpack what works\, what fails\, and what must evolve for effective oversight. Participants will explore audit strategy\, risk oversight\, assurance coordination\, boardroom dynamics\, and emerging issues shaping today’s audit environment. The program also offers rich opportunities for peer learning and networking across public and private sectors\, fostering collaboration and shared excellence. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Audit Committee Competence: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   The evolving role of the Audit Committee\n1.    Understanding the modern governance environment \n2.    Redefining the audit committee mandate \n3.    Strengthening independence\, structure and board level influence \n \n·         The shifting governance landscape: global\, regional\, and Kenyan context \n·         Expanding roles and expectations of Audit Committees in modern organizations \n·         Understanding independence: structural\, operational\, and behavioural independence \n·         Strengthening the relationship between the Audit Committee\, Board\, CEO\, and Internal Audit \n·         Governance failures and lessons for Audit Committees \n·         How Audit Committees drive ethical culture and institutional integrity\n\n\nDAY 2\nB.   Risk governance & resilience building \n1.    Role of Audit Committee in enterprise risk oversight \n2.    Emerging risks: technology\, cybersecurity and geopolitical trends and ESG \n3.    Building a strong organizational risk culture \n \n·         Enterprise Risk Management (ERM): role of the Audit Committee \n·         Identifying\, assessing\, and prioritizing emerging risks \n·         Oversight of cybersecurity and digital transformation risks \n·         Understanding ESG-related risks (environmental\, social\, governance) \n·         Strengthening risk culture across the organization \n·         Crisis preparedness and response: Audit Committee’s role in resilience planning\n\n\nDAY 3\nC.   Strengthening internal audit & assurance functions \n1.    Enhancing internal audit effectiveness \n2.    Coordinating internal audit\, external audit and compliance \n3.    Reviewing audit strategies\, work plans and reports \n  \n \n·         Evaluating the adequacy and independence of the Internal Audit function \n·         Reviewing internal audit plans\, resources\, and capability needs \n·         Monitoring effectiveness of external audit and auditor independence \n·         Aligning internal audit\, external audit\, and compliance for coherent assurance \n·         Understanding audit quality indicators and improving reporting outcomes \n·         Oversight of investigations\, whistleblowing\, and ethical breaches\n\n\nDAY 4 \nD.   Technology\, Data & modern oversight practices \n1.    Leveraging data analytics for better oversight \n2.    Cybersecurity and digital transformation risks \n3.    ESG\, ethics and compliance expectations for Audit Committees \n \n·         Using data analytics to strengthen audit oversight \n·         Oversight of automation\, AI\, and digital transformation initiatives \n·         Protecting organizational assets in a cyber-risk environment \n·         Modernizing internal control systems with technology \n·         Audit Committee’s role in ESG reporting and sustainability assurance \n·         Ensuring compliance with new regulatory and industry standards \n \n\n\nDAY 5\nE.   Future – Proofing your Audit committee and moving forward \n1.    Building a future-ready and high performing Audit Committee \n  \n \n1.    Building a high-impact\, future-ready Audit Committee \n \n\n\n\nTarget Audience: \nAudit Committee Members\, Chairpersons of Audit Committees\, Chief Internal Auditors\, Chief Audit Executives\, Internal Auditors\, CEOs\, Senior Management\, Aspiring Audit Committee Members\, Members of Board of Directors of corporations\, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs\, \nYour investment: \nThis Master Class shall be provided at a cost of KSh.95\,000. \nContinuous Professional Development Units: \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the Master Class. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on all participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and it 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 \, you can also reach us through marketing@icpak.com \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.
