2025-09-29 09:00 - 2025-10-03 15:30 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Hotel and Spa, Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(ESTABLISHED UNDER THE ACCOUNTANTS ACT, LAWS OF KENYA)
THE 9th NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE
Theme: Empowered to Lead: Women Shaping the Future of Accountancy and Leadership
29th SEPTEMBER – 3rd OCTOBER 2025
SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA, MOMBASA
TIME: 09.00am-03.30pm
OVERVIEW
The evolution of the accounting profession continues to open new frontiers for women, not just as financial experts but as transformational leaders, governance champions, and ethical influencers. Across boardrooms, audit committees, public service institutions, and corporate corridors, women accountants are increasingly stepping into strategic roles that demand foresight, innovation, agility, and integrity. The era of merely participating is long gone; the focus now is on empowered leadership, system-wide impact, and building sustainable, inclusive organizations.
Despite global and national strides in gender equity, challenges persist—unequal representation in decision-making positions, wage disparities, limited access to mentorship, and heightened work-life pressures. However, Kenyan women in accountancy are rising, empowered by education, resilience, and collaborative networks. They are not only reshaping traditional professional narratives but are also driving national development agendas through participation in public financial management, ESG reporting, internal controls, audit reform, and financial transparency.
Globally, institutions are recognizing the value of female leadership in steering ethical governance and risk-aware decision-making. Locally, key conversations on professional equity, succession planning, and diversity in accounting are gaining traction. Additionally, the emergence of digital tools like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data analytics is reshaping the professional landscape, creating new opportunities and calling for fresh skillsets.
The modern lady accountant is expected to be more than just technically competent. She must be strategic, emotionally intelligent, media-savvy, digitally fluent, and ethically grounded. Balancing corporate demands with personal aspirations remains a common challenge, but one that can be navigated with the right support structures, policy reforms, peer-to-peer mentorship, and targeted leadership development.
The 9th National Lady Accountants Conference provides a reflective and empowering platform for lady professionals across Kenya and beyond to engage in rich discourse, foster meaningful connections, and build actionable strategies to excel in both personal and professional spheres. This event continues to position ICPAK as a key thought leader in supporting women professionals in finance and other fields.
As we gather for this annual event, we reaffirm the commitment to inclusion, professional advancement, and enabling women to thrive in their careers while positively impacting society. The conference will also provide a safe space for mentorship, mental and emotional well-being, financial literacy, and celebrating women who continue to lead and inspire in the profession.

(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Sustainability Reporting Course
Theme: Empowering Accountants for Sustainable Impact: Mastering IFRS S1 & S2
Date: 2nd – 3rd October 2025
Time: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM
Hybrid Event: CPA Centre, Nairobi & Virtual Delivery
Overview
Globally, sustainability reporting continues to gain momentum as stakeholders demand greater accountability on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters. Businesses are now expected to disclose not only financial performance but also the impact of their operations on the planet and society. In response to this shift, international standards IFRS S1 and S2 have been developed to offer a consistent and comparable framework for sustainability disclosures. The adoption of newly developed sustainability standards is not merely an organizational development initiative; it is critical for fostering a resilient economy at large, impacting both private businesses and the public sector.
At the same time, the accounting profession is facing new ethical challenges. Greenwashing, greenhushing, and conflicts of interest have emerged as major concerns in the sustainability space, leading to misinformation and a loss of stakeholder trust. To address this, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) introduced new ethics and independence standards under the IESSA (International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance) framework. These standards aim to guide professional accountants and assurance providers in maintaining integrity, transparency, and public interest when dealing with sustainability-related engagements.
Locally, feedback from the FiRe Award—East Africa’s most prestigious financial reporting excellence recognition award— has shown that while many organizations are making progress in sustainability reporting, there are still significant gaps. These include weak board involvement, inconsistent data presentation, and poor linkage between strategy and reported outcomes. This workshop responds to those gaps by equipping personnel with practical skills, real-world scenarios, and ethical frameworks for quality sustainability reporting.
The sessions will offer targeted insights into sustainability reporting for various entities, acknowledging that different entities require tailored approaches.
The workshop is designed to be interactive, insightful, and practical, enabling participants to not only understand the evolving sustainability landscape but also take the lead in shaping it within their roles.

Stress Management and Resilience for Professionals (October) Webinar

Delivery Mode: Virtual
Overview of stress management and resilience
Stress management refers to the wide range of techniques and therapies used to control an individual’s level of stress, particularly chronic stress. While resilience is the capacity to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. In essence stress management focuses on handling stressors as they raise, while resilience is the broader ability to adapt and thrive despite adversity.
Understanding stress
Stress is a natural physical mental reaction to life’s challenges, demands, or threats. It is not always negative; a moderate level of stress, known as ‘eustress”, can motivate and focus energy. However, overwhelming or chronic stress, called ‘distress” can be detrimental to your well-being.
The relationship between stress management and resilience
Stress management and resilience are deeply interconnected. Stress management techniques ae the skills and tools you use to deal with and mitigate the effects of stress. Resilience is the overall capacity to bounce back from and even grow from difficult experience, which is strengthened by effective stress management.
Building resilience is a dynamic process involving an interplay of biological, psychological and social factors. It is not an inherent trait but can be developed over time through a combination of intentional actions and adaptive behaviors.
This training aims to help Professionals navigate some of the strategies for stress management and build resilience

ANNUAL GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS CONFERENCE 2025
2025-10-13 09:00 - 2025-10-17 15:30 | Sarova Whitesands Beach Hotel and Spa, Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIEDPUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
ANNUAL GOVERNANCE & ETHICS CONFERENCE 2025
Theme: Governance for the future: Ethical Leadership in an Era of Disruption
VENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH HOTEL AND SPA MOMBASA
DATE: 13TH TO 17TH OCTOBER 2025
TIME: 09.00am-03.30pm

OVERVIEW
Governance and ethics stand as the indispensable cornerstone of institutional trust and accountability, forming the very foundation for sustainable development and organizational resilience in both public and private sectors. Good governance, particularly within the Kenyan context, is firmly rooted in constitutional principles and regulatory frameworks like the Public Finance Management Act. This framework, complemented by strong ethical leadership, is crucial for fostering transparency, fairness, and responsible stewardship of resources. When leadership sets a clear ethical tone from the top, it permeates the entire organizational culture, reinforcing public confidence and ensuring compliance with professional codes of conduct.
A critical pillar of sound governance involves the proactive identification and management of risks, coupled with the institutionalization of ethical behavior. This necessitates addressing both traditional risks, such as fraud and misreporting, and emerging digital vulnerabilities through robust internal controls, diligent documentation, and clear accountability channels. Cultivating a “speak-up” culture, reinforced by confidential whistleblowing systems and anti-retaliation protections, is paramount. This enables the early detection of misconduct, ensures that ethical concerns are promptly addressed, and aligns with the high ethical standards promoted by ICPAK.
Effective governance extends beyond mere compliance, deeply integrating with the strategic functions of the board and stakeholder engagement. A well-functioning board fosters a culture of transparency and clear communication, with board members and management working collaboratively while adhering to their fiduciary duties. This includes strategic oversight, robust risk governance, and the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) factors into long-term planning. Transparent stakeholder engagement, often through sustainability and ESG reporting, is crucial for building trust and ensuring that governance remains rooted in accountability and dialogue.
In an era of increasing regulatory demands and rapid digital transformation, embedding ethics into strategic planning and governance frameworks is no longer optional but essential. This commitment translates into robust accountability and transparency across all operations, from ethical financial reporting to proactive crisis management guided by integrity. Organizations must navigate the ethical implications of automation, data privacy, and Artificial Intelligence, ensuring that technology aligns with core values and enhances oversight. The role of boards and management in ethically driving the automation agenda is critical to leveraging these advancements responsibly.
The dynamic landscape of governance and ethics demands continuous adaptation and foresight from organizations. As institutions strive for growth and resilience amidst economic uncertainty and evolving stakeholder demands, they are held to higher standards of accountability and ethical conduct. Contemporary challenges like weak oversight, conflicts of interest, and regulatory non-compliance underscore the need for adaptive governance systems. The ICPAK Annual Governance and Ethics Forum provides a vital platform for professionals to align with the best global practices, ensuring that governance systems are not only compliant but also ethical, adaptive, and future-ready, capable of delivering long-term value in a fast-changing world. This training will cover the following topics:

Current trends in Technology Aided Fraud and Challenges presented by technology in combating Fraud 2025
2025-10-14 16:00 - 2026-02-28 18:00 | Virtual Delivery
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Current trends in Technology Aided Fraud & Challenges presented by technology in combating Fraud
Theme: Strengthening Professional Resilience Against Technology-Aided Fraud
Date: 14th October 2025
Time: 4.00pm – 6.00pm
Venue: Virtual
Overview
The rapid evolution of digital technology has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of financial operations, offering greater efficiency, speed, and integration across systems. However, this transformation has also introduced sophisticated and evolving methods of fraud. Technology aided fraud has grown in complexity and scale often exploiting system vulnerabilities, human behavior, and jurisdictional gaps. Fraudsters are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence, social engineering, malware, and blockchain platforms to commit crimes that are difficult to detect and mitigate using traditional control systems.
Notable fraud trends include cybercrime, phishing attacks, business email compromise, deepfake impersonations, synthetic identity fraud, and cryptocurrency-based scams. These schemes often operate across borders and take advantage of the anonymity and decentralization that technology offers. In addition, the misuse of legitimate digital tools such as encryption and instant payment systems can facilitate fraud when governance structures are weak or outdated. This has created an urgent need for more agile and robust approaches to fraud risk management.
On the other hand, technology also presents significant opportunities for combating fraud. Tools such as advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, real-time transaction monitoring, and digital forensics can enhance detection, response, and prevention capabilities. However, organizations face major challenges, including rapid technological change, limited cybersecurity expertise, data privacy constraints, and a lack of coordination between stakeholders. These challenges can hinder the effective use of technology in fraud prevention efforts, especially in environments where regulatory frameworks have not kept pace with innovation.
To address these emerging risks and build capacity within the profession, ICPAK is conducting this training to enhance awareness and equip participants with the knowledge and practical tools needed to navigate technology-aided fraud. The training will cover the latest fraud trends, digital vulnerabilities, emerging prevention technologies, and strategic responses to strengthen institutional resilience. It aims to foster a proactive mindset and build technical competence among professionals to effectively mitigate the evolving threats posed by fraud in the digital era. The following key areas will be covered:

Overview of Technology-Aided Fraud
Emerging Trends and Techniques in Digital Fraud
Social Engineering and Insider Threats
Challenges in Combating Fraud Using Technology
Technology as a Tool for Fraud Prevention and Detection
Digital Governance and Risk Management Frameworks
Legal, Regulatory, and Ethical Considerations
Practical Case Studies and Emerging Best Practices

Taxation Workshop Northern Kenya Branch
2025-10-15 09:00 - 2025-10-16 15:30 | Granada Hotel, Mandera, 59963, Mandera
THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
Taxation workshop – Northern Branch
Theme: Navigating Kenya’s Tax Reforms towards sustainable development of Kenya’s economy
Date: 15th -16th October 2025
Venue: Granada Hotel, Mandera
Overview
Kenya’s tax system is characterized by a complex framework of taxes, regulations, and incentives that businesses operating in the country must understand. The main tax categories include income tax, value-added tax (VAT), excise duty, and customs duty. A notable aspect of the Kenyan tax regime is the self-assessment system, which requires taxpayers to calculate and remit their taxes independently. This system is reinforced by strict compliance enforcement mechanisms. Additionally, Kenya has increasingly embraced automation, such as the Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (E-TIMS), to improve VAT compliance and simplify tax processes for businesses.
To attract investments in critical sectors like infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing, the Kenyan government offers various tax incentives. These include tax holidays, 100% deductions for capital expenditures, exemptions on specific payments to non-residents, reduced tax obligations for priority projects, and accelerated depreciation. These initiatives are designed to drive economic growth and align with the government’s long-term development objectives. Businesses must remain informed about these incentives to maximize their benefits and effectively navigate Kenya’s evolving tax environment.
Ongoing tax reforms are significantly influencing Kenya’s fiscal landscape. These include updates to VAT and excise laws and potential changes to the Income Tax Act, prompting some investors to adopt a cautious approach. The government’s focus on digital taxation and the implementation of e-TIMS are reshaping the tax system further. Emerging trends such as environmental levies, digital taxation, and global initiatives like the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework are shaping Kenya’s tax policies. The integration of digital tools for tax reporting and compliance is modernizing the taxation process, positioning Kenya as a dynamic participant in the global tax arena.
Withholding tax (WHT) is another vital component of Kenya’s tax system, applying to various payments like salaries, professional fees, interest, and dividends. Rates vary between 3% and 30%, depending on the payment type and the payee’s residency status. Businesses are required to comply with WHT regulations by deducting the applicable tax amount, remitting it to the authorities, and issuing tax certificates to the payee.
This workshop will delve into the role of Double Tax Agreements (DTAs) in addressing double taxation and fostering cross-border investments. It will also explore the impact of the East African Community (EAC) Customs Union on customs duties and regional trade. Participants will gain insights into the Kenyan government’s tax incentives aimed at promoting investments in strategic sectors. By attending, delegates will acquire the knowledge and tools needed to navigate Kenya’s complex tax system, optimize tax strategies, and maintain compliance with current tax regulations.
The training will focus on the following topical areas:
1. Overview of Kenya’s Tax Regime: Ongoing tax reforms
2. Withholding Tax (WHT) Obligations and Compliance
3. Double Tax Agreements (DTAs) and Their Role in Cross-Border Investments
4. Customs Duty and the East African Community (EAC) Customs Union
5. Tax Incentives and investment promotions
6. Tax invoice management Systems
7. Tax strategy and risk management
8. The Evolving Kenyan Tax Landscape – Recent Reforms and Future Trends
• Digital taxation: Taxes on e-commerce and digital services.
• Environmental taxes and carbon credits.
• The impact of global tax reforms (e.g., OECD’s BEPS initiative).
9. Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (E-TIMS) and Digital Taxation in Kenya
Target Audience:
This workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession.

IFRS Seminar Western Branch (Mandatory Training)
2025-10-16 09:00 - 2025-10-17 15:30 | Breeze Hotel, Busia, Nairobi, Kenya
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
IFRS Seminar Western Branch (Mandatory Training)
Date: 16th – 17th October 2025
Time: 9.00am-3.30pm
Venue: The Breeze Hotel-Busia
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)
Overview
As the knowledge needed to function effectively as a professional accountant continues to expand and change at a rapid rate so are the standard-setters seeking for the most useful and accurate way to account for new and emerging transactions. This creates a huge demand on accountants to keep up with the pace at which new standards are introduced and old ones revised. The demand is even higher in sectors that are continuously evolving due to the dynamic and complicated business environment.
In response to the demand for improved global consistency and comparability of sustainability reporting, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued its first two standards on 26 June 2023: IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability – related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate – related Disclosures). IFRS S1 outlines general requirements for disclosing material information on sustainability-related financial risks and opportunities, while IFRS S2 focuses specifically on climate-related disclosures.
These standards aim to create a comprehensive global baseline and common language for sustainability reporting, enabling comparable, consistent, and decision-useful disclosures. On 6 September 2023, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), as the country’s standard setter and accountancy regulator, announced the intention to adopt these sustainability standards in Kenya. Subsequently on 14th November 2024, ICPAK released the Roadmap for Adoption of these standards in Kenya. The roadmap can be assessed on the ICPAK website through the link: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/310392939/
The successful adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards in Kenya will require active involvement from key stakeholders, including professional bodies, regulators, industry associations, academia, and policy makers. ICPAK will play a key role in supporting adoption and implementation by providing targeted capacity-building sessions for preparers, offering guidance materials, toolkits, and guidelines.
It is against this backdrop that ICPAK has organized this workshop. Key topical areas to be discussed are as follows:
IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information

Location of Disclosures
Timing of reporting
Comparative information
Statement of Compliance
Best practices in data collection

IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures

Governance
Strategy
Risk Management
Metrics and Targets

IFRS S2: GHG Emissions

Introduction to GHG Emissions
Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions

ISA for Less Complex Entities Course -physical option
Theme: Adopting ISA for Less Complex Entities: Simplifying the Audit Process
Date: 23rd -24th October 2025
Venue: CPA Centre, Nairobi
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
Overview
The International Standards on Auditing (ISA) prescribe the principles and practices, which auditors are expected to follow in the conduct of Audit. They provide minimum guidance to the Auditor that helps determine the extent of auditing steps and procedures that should be applied in the audit and constitute the criteria or yardstick against which the quality of audit results are evaluated. Conducting audits in accordance with standards gives necessary assurance to people making use of the financial statements and audit reports.
Large complex organizations typically require a more in-depth application of these full ISAs given their scope of business and applicability. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs.
The introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits.
This course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs.
The following topics will be covered:
1. Introduction to ISA for Less Complex Entities
• Background
• The rationale for ISA for Less complex entities
• Public interest overriding consideration
2. Differences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs
3. Core concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities
• Fundamental Concepts, General Principles and Overarching Requirements
• Audit Evidence and Documentation
• Engagement Quality Management
• Acceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements
• Planning
• Risk Identification and Assessment
• Responding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement
• Concluding
• Forming an Opinion and Reporting
• Audits of Group Financial Statements
Target Audience:
This course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:
• Auditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).
• Audit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.
• Professionals involved in the development, implementation, and application of auditing standards for SMEs.
• Accounting and auditing students who aim to specialize in auditing LCEs
• Supervisors in external audit, internal audit and compliance
• Mid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills
• Individuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing
Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units):
Members of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions.
Cost:
Charges for the training will be Kes 18,500/= which will cover course fees, materials, and e-certificates of attendance.

The introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits.
This course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs.
The following topics will be covered:
1. Introduction to ISA for Less Complex Entities
• Background
• The rationale for ISA for Less complex entities
• Public interest overriding consideration
2. Differences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs
3. Core concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities
• Fundamental Concepts, General Principles and Overarching Requirements
• Audit Evidence and Documentation
• Engagement Quality Management
• Acceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements
• Planning
• Risk Identification and Assessment
• Responding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement
• Concluding
• Forming an Opinion and Reporting
• Audits of Group Financial Statements
Target Audience:
This course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:
• Auditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).
• Audit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.

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