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.

Business ethics encompass contemporary standards\, principles\, and norms. Governance and ethics are fundamental aspects of the accounting profession\, \nThe Annual Practical Ethics Forum will enable accountants to deepen their knowledge on ethical matters while exploring emerging trends to upholding integrity and accountability in the accounting profession through training and sharing best practices. \nThe forum will focus on the following key topics: \n\nInternational Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code)\nComplying with the Code\, Fundamental Principles and Conceptual Framework\nProfessional Accountants in Business\n\n\nProfessional Accountants in Public Practice\n\n\nIndependence for Audit and Review Engagements\nConflict of interest and threats to accountants: -practitioners\, employed accountants in service\, internal audit\, assurance etc\nResponsibilities of professional accountants in safeguarding ethical practices for organizations\nEvaluating and resolving ethical problems\nIntricacies of whistle blowing\nMonitoring ethics and compliance\nProfessional misconduct\, risk and the ethical link -Disciplinary Committee insights\nInsights from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on ethics for professionals and the fight against corruption\nEthical considerations in sustainability reporting\nOverview of recent changes to the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\n\nTarget Audience: \nMembers of Boards in public and private corporations\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Private and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Financial services sector Accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in Government and private sectors\, Accountants in Academia\, current and potential members of ICPAK\, members of other professional associations. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes10\,000/= which will cover Seminar fees\, and an e-certificate of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Webinar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IFRS S1 and S2 WORKSHOP 2026 (Mandatory Training) physical option
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP\nDATE: 2nd -6th March 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino\, Thika Road\, Nairobi \nTheme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2 \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global corporate reporting landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as sustainability-related risks and opportunities increasingly affect enterprise value\, capital allocation\, and long-term business viability. Investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and other capital providers are no longer satisfied with high-level ESG narratives; they are demanding decision-useful\, comparable\, and verifiable sustainability information that is clearly connected to financial performance and position. \nIn response to this demand\, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) to establish a global baseline for sustainability reporting that is investor-focused\, consistent\, and integrated with financial reporting. These standards reposition sustainability disclosures from stand-alone reports to an integral component of general-purpose financial reporting\, subject to governance\, controls\, and assurance expectations similar to those applied to financial statements. \nHowever\, despite growing awareness of IFRS S1 and S2\, many organizations face significant challenges in operationalizing the standards. Preparers often understand the conceptual requirements but struggle with practical questions such as: \n\nWhat constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?\nHow should governance\, strategy\, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?\nWhich metrics and targets are appropriate\, reliable\, and defensible?\nHow can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements\, assumptions\, and judgments?\nHow should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?\n\nIn many cases\, existing ESG reports are narrative-heavy\, inconsistently structured\, and weakly linked to financial outcomes. This creates credibility risks\, exposes organizations to accusations of greenwashing\, and undermines the usefulness of sustainability information for decision-making. For emerging and developing markets in particular\, capacity constraints\, data limitations\, and evolving regulatory expectations further compound these challenges. \nThis workshop is designed to respond to that bridge that gap. By focusing on practical reporting application rather than standard-by-standard exposition\, it aims to equip participants with the tools\, frameworks\, and confidence required to prepare clear\, coherent\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2. The workshop also recognizes sustainability reporting as a journey\, supporting participants in moving from initial compliance toward mature\, integrated\, and credible sustainability reporting practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, boards\, and auditors\n\n\nB.   Identifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments\n\n\nC.   Reporting Governance\, Strategy\, and Risk Management\n·         Governance disclosures: roles of the board and management \n·         Linking sustainability risks and opportunities to strategy \n·         Integrating sustainability into enterprise risk management (ERM) \n·         Avoiding boilerplate disclosures \n·         Examples of strong vs weak IFRS S1 governance narratives \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Selecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n·\n\n\nE.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices \n \n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n \nG.   Connectivity Between Sustainability and Financial Reporting\n·         Linking sustainability risks to financial impacts \n·         Implications for revenue\, costs\, assets\, liabilities\, and provisions \n·         Consistency between sustainability disclosures and management commentary \n·         Avoiding contradictions between ESG reports and financial statements \n·         Preparing for assurance and audit scrutiny\n\n\n \nH.   Climate-related Risks and Opportunities under IFRS S2\n·         Physical vs transition climate risks \n·         Short-\, medium-\, and long-term climate impacts \n·         Identifying climate-related opportunities \n·         Value chain and geographic considerations \n·         Climate-related targets and transition plans \n \n\n\n \nI.     Preparing a Coherent IFRS S1 & S2–Aligned Report\n·         Structuring sustainability disclosures \n·         Integrating IFRS S1 and S2 requirements coherently \n·         Avoiding duplication across reports \n·         Readiness for assurance and regulatory review \n·         Roadmap for continuous improvement and year-on-year enhancement\n\n\n\n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers who attend the workshop  in full will earn 20 Structured CPD Units. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 54\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for stationery\, daytime meals\, learning and giveaway materials\, online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events  and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).

SUMMARY:THE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1 (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1\nTheme: Strategic Tax Leadership for Compliance\, Efficiency & Sustainable Growth\nDate: 2nd – 6th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nTaxation is a cornerstone of organizational governance\, regulatory compliance\, and strategic decision-making\, influencing virtually every facet of an organization’s operations. Beyond its primary function of generating revenue for governments\, taxation shapes corporate strategy\, guides financial planning\, and informs sustainability initiatives. For modern organizations\, effective tax management is not merely a compliance exercise but a critical element of strategic foresight. The current tax environment is highly dynamic\, with frequent legislative amendments\, increasingly sophisticated enforcement by tax authorities\, the rise of digital tax administration\, and the influence of international tax reforms creating both opportunities and risks. Professionals tasked with navigating these dynamics—be they accountants\, finance managers\, tax practitioners\, or auditors—must possess an in-depth understanding of domestic and international tax regimes\, proactive risk management techniques\, and practical strategies to optimize tax positions while maintaining compliance. \nThe modern tax landscape in Kenya and across the globe presents multifaceted challenges that require comprehensive knowledge and careful navigation. Organizations face complex obligations such as corporate income tax\, VAT\, excise duties\, transfer pricing rules\, digital service taxes\, and emerging environmental or ESG-linked tax initiatives. Simultaneously\, compliance demands adherence to ethical standards\, internal governance protocols\, and transparent reporting practices. Mismanagement of tax obligations can result not only in financial penalties and legal sanctions but also in reputational damage that undermines stakeholder trust. The interconnected nature of taxation with corporate governance and operational decisions means that the roles of tax professionals extend far beyond traditional bookkeeping and filing. They are called upon to anticipate regulatory changes\, interpret nuanced legislative provisions\, advise management on strategic tax matters\, and ensure that organizational tax practices align with broader business objectives and governance frameworks. \nAt the same time\, taxation is increasingly recognized as a strategic instrument for organizational growth and sustainability. Thoughtful tax planning\, aligned with both corporate strategy and environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) objectives\, enables organizations to optimize resources\, leverage incentives\, and mitigate financial and operational risks. Tax professionals are expected to operate as strategic advisors\, moving beyond mere compliance reporting to interpret legislation\, provide guidance on cross-border and digital transactions\, and proactively engage with regulators to manage risk and unlock opportunities. Mastering these competencies requires a blend of technical expertise\, analytical acumen\, ethical judgment\, and strategic insight. Professionals must be capable of assessing complex tax scenarios\, modeling potential outcomes\, and integrating tax considerations into broader corporate decision-making. \nThe Taxation Masterclass is designed to respond to these multifarious demands by equipping participants with practical\, actionable skills and a deep understanding of the evolving tax environment. Through a structured curriculum combining technical instruction\, interactive discussions\, practical exercises\, and real-world case studies\, participants will engage with core topics such as corporate tax planning\, VAT and indirect tax compliance\, personal taxation\, international taxation\, transfer pricing\, tax audits\, dispute resolution\, and emerging trends in digital and ESG-linked taxes. The program emphasizes the integration of technology in tax administration\, highlighting how digital tools—such as e-filing systems\, data analytics platforms\, and automated compliance solutions—can enhance efficiency\, accuracy\, and strategic insight in tax management. By actively engaging with contemporary tax issues\, delegates will develop the confidence and expertise needed to anticipate challenges and implement best practices in their organizations. \nLeadership in taxation demands not only technical proficiency but also the ability to influence corporate decision-making and contribute meaningfully to organizational strategy. This Masterclass positions accountants and tax professionals as strategic partners who can align tax management with corporate objectives\, strengthen compliance\, and add tangible value to their organizations. Participants will learn to design and implement tax strategies that enhance long-term organizational performance\, mitigate risks\, and promote ethical\, transparent\, and accountable governance. By the end of the five-day program\, delegates will be equipped to navigate complex tax matters\, implement strategic tax solutions\, effectively engage with regulators\, and provide guidance that supports sustainable growth\, innovation\, and value creation. \nIn response to the evolving taxation landscape and the increasing strategic role of tax professionals\, ICPAK has organized this Masterclass to provide a robust platform for professional development\, peer exchange\, and practical learning. This program creates an avenue for participants to engage with experts\, explore real-world scenarios\, and apply best practices that are aligned with both domestic and international standards. By the conclusion of the training\, participants will possess the skills\, insights\, and strategic perspective necessary to manage complex tax environments\, optimize organizational tax outcomes\, ensure regulatory compliance\, and strengthen public trust through ethical and effective tax practice. \nDuring the masterclass the following areas will be covered:- \n\nRecent Developments in Tax Administration and compliance\nTransfer pricing\nTaxation of lumpsum amounts /Gratuity\nDeferred Taxation /Accounting\nCorporate and Income Taxes emerging trends\nSuccession planning and Trust

SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IFRS S1 and S2 WORKSHOP 2026 (Mandatory Training) virtual option
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP\nDATE: 2nd -6th March 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTheme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2 \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global corporate reporting landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as sustainability-related risks and opportunities increasingly affect enterprise value\, capital allocation\, and long-term business viability. Investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and other capital providers are no longer satisfied with high-level ESG narratives; they are demanding decision-useful\, comparable\, and verifiable sustainability information that is clearly connected to financial performance and position. \nIn response to this demand\, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) to establish a global baseline for sustainability reporting that is investor-focused\, consistent\, and integrated with financial reporting. These standards reposition sustainability disclosures from stand-alone reports to an integral component of general-purpose financial reporting\, subject to governance\, controls\, and assurance expectations similar to those applied to financial statements. \nHowever\, despite growing awareness of IFRS S1 and S2\, many organizations face significant challenges in operationalizing the standards. Preparers often understand the conceptual requirements but struggle with practical questions such as: \n\nWhat constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?\nHow should governance\, strategy\, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?\nWhich metrics and targets are appropriate\, reliable\, and defensible?\nHow can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements\, assumptions\, and judgments?\nHow should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?\n\nIn many cases\, existing ESG reports are narrative-heavy\, inconsistently structured\, and weakly linked to financial outcomes. This creates credibility risks\, exposes organizations to accusations of greenwashing\, and undermines the usefulness of sustainability information for decision-making. For emerging and developing markets in particular\, capacity constraints\, data limitations\, and evolving regulatory expectations further compound these challenges. \nThis workshop is designed to respond to that bridge that gap. By focusing on practical reporting application rather than standard-by-standard exposition\, it aims to equip participants with the tools\, frameworks\, and confidence required to prepare clear\, coherent\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2. The workshop also recognizes sustainability reporting as a journey\, supporting participants in moving from initial compliance toward mature\, integrated\, and credible sustainability reporting practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, boards\, and auditors\n\n\nB.   Identifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments\n\n\nC.   Reporting Governance\, Strategy\, and Risk Management\n·         Governance disclosures: roles of the board and management \n·         Linking sustainability risks and opportunities to strategy \n·         Integrating sustainability into enterprise risk management (ERM) \n·         Avoiding boilerplate disclosures \n·         Examples of strong vs weak IFRS S1 governance narratives \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Selecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n·\n\n\nE.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices \n \n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n \nG.   Connectivity Between Sustainability and Financial Reporting\n·         Linking sustainability risks to financial impacts \n·         Implications for revenue\, costs\, assets\, liabilities\, and provisions \n·         Consistency between sustainability disclosures and management commentary \n·         Avoiding contradictions between ESG reports and financial statements \n·         Preparing for assurance and audit scrutiny\n\n\nDAY 3\nH.   Climate-related Risks and Opportunities under IFRS S2\n·         Physical vs transition climate risks \n·         Short-\, medium-\, and long-term climate impacts \n·         Identifying climate-related opportunities \n·         Value chain and geographic considerations \n·         Climate-related targets and transition plans \n \n\n\n \nI.     Preparing a Coherent IFRS S1 & S2–Aligned Report\n·         Structuring sustainability disclosures \n·         Integrating IFRS S1 and S2 requirements coherently \n·         Avoiding duplication across reports \n·         Readiness for assurance and regulatory review \n·         Roadmap for continuous improvement and year-on-year enhancement\n\n\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 20 Structured CPD Units. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 54\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\n ONLINE 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 \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).

SUMMARY:Free Stress Management and resilience for professionals webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nStress Management and Resilience for Professionals\nDate: 3rd March 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nLife doesn’t pause when you feel overwhelmed. Deadlines still loom\, assignments\, laundry etc still pile up\, and people will still need you. And yet\, some seem to cope better than others.  Maybe you have noticed your co-worker stays calm even under intense pressure\, your partner /significant others don’t panic the way you do when your kids act out. It’s easy to wonder what they know that you don’t or what’s wrong with you. The answer? Nothing. It’s likely that these people just have a higher tolerance for stress than you do. \nStress resilience refers to the ability to bounce back faster from stressful moments\, and luckily\, it’s a skill that can be built.  Here’s everything you need to know about stress resilience is\, how to develop the skill over time\, and ways to channel stress in a healthy way.  After all\, stress is inevitable\, but breakdown doesn’t have to be. \nWorkplace stress is a silent but costly issue affecting both employees and organizations\, causing costs to soar in terms of absenteeism and lost productivity. It may seem more people than ever are feeling stressed\, and that perception may reflect the reality that more people\, in fact\, are experiencing higher levels of distress. \nWhat is Stress\, and its impact on us?  \nStress has been defined as the subjective state of sensing potentially adverse changes in the environment that signifies potential or actual threat that requires immediate changes in behavior as well as modification of future behaviors. \nWhen you think about the impact of stress on our bodies\, minds and our lives\, lets consider that responses to stress are intended to be adaptive. For instance\, faced with imminent threat to our physical safety\, having higher heart rate allows delivery of more rich oxygen to our bodies and to our muscles more quickly. \nWhat is stress resilience? \nStress resilience is one’s ability to recover from pressure\, setbacks or emotional strain.  Ironically\, you mya not realize how strong yours is until you hit a speed bump.  Think of it as an emotional immune system – just as your body knows how to fight off illnesses\, you mind and nervous system are built to respond to stress.  Resilience is what you to process that stress and keep moving forward. \nNo matter what happens to you\, stress resilience allows you to stay grounded and find your footing again. And from breathwork to movement\, there are many tools to help you build it. \nIt is against this background that ICPAK has organized this evening forum to enlighten professionals on stress triggers and build resilience. \n\nRecognize stress triggers\nCreate “me’ time sessions frequently\nMeditation\nAdopt new routines.\nStay connected and make new friends.\nSee problems through a different lens.\nSeeking help with problems.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost: \nThe training will be free of charge. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:PFM and IPSAS Accrual Seminar–Central Rift Branch
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPFM and IPSAS Accrual Seminar – Central Rift Branch\nDate: 5th – 6th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Nyahururu-Panari Hotel \nOverview \nPublic Financial Management (PFM) is fundamental to transparency\, accountability\, and the efficient use of public resources. It encompasses key processes such as budgeting\, planning\, and resource allocation\, which form the foundation of sound financial governance in the public sector. A strong PFM framework supports informed decision-making\, enhances public trust\, and aligns financial management with national development priorities. \nThe global shift from cash-based to accrual-based accounting\, guided by International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS)\, has significantly improved the quality and credibility of public sector financial reporting. Accrual accounting provides a comprehensive view of an entity’s financial position by recognizing assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses when they occur. Understanding the concepts\, objectives\, and practical implications of IPSAS accrual is essential for strengthening accountability and long-term financial planning. \nIn an accrual environment\, budgeting\, financial planning\, and internal controls assume greater importance. The integration of accrual information into budgeting and performance monitoring enhances resource management\, while effective internal controls and audit considerations support compliance and risk management. Experience and best practices from entities that have implemented IPSAS accrual provide valuable insights into addressing common implementation challenges. \nThe application of IPSAS accrual standards is supported by appropriate tools\, systems\, policies\, and continuous capacity building. Robust accounting systems\, clear policy frameworks\, and technical guidance enable consistent and sustainable adoption of accrual accounting\, contributing to improved financial governance\, transparency\, and professionalism in the public sector. \nThe following topics will be covered: \n\nPrinciples of Public Finance Management (PFM) in Kenya\n\n\nOverview of the legal\, institutional\, and governance framework underpinning public finance management.\n\n\nBudget Preparation\, Execution\, and Financial Planning in Kenya’s National and County Governments\n\n\nBudget cycle and preparation processes at national and county governments\nBudget–procurement linkage and cash flow management\nZero-based and performance-based budgeting in Kenya\nUse of performance indicators to enhance efficiency and accountability\n\n\nPublic Procurement and Payment for Goods and Services\n\n\nPending Bills\nProvisions relating to County Governments\nEffects of non- compliance with requirements\n\n\nFoundations of IPSAS Accrual Accounting \n\n\nIntroduction to IPSAS Accrual. \nAccrual vs. Cash-Based IPSAS Standards \nObjectives\, scope\, and benefits of transitioning from cash to accrual basis IPSAS \n\n\nIPSAS 33: First-Time Adoption of IPSAS Accrual Basis \nIPSAS 24 presentation of budget information in financial statements \n\n\nRequired disclosures \nComparison of budget and actual amounts \nMaterial differences\n\n\nIPSAS 39: Employee Benefits\n\n\nDifferences between IPSAS 39 & IPSAS 25\nRecognition and Measurement of Employee Benefits obligation\nValuation of Benefits at Fair Value\nTermination Benefits\nEmployee Benefit Liabilities and their impact on Public Sector Finances\n\n\nDisclosure\, Transparency\, and Accountability under IPSAS Accrual\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.

SUMMARY:PFM and Emerging Tax Issues Seminar Eastern Branch
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPFM and Emerging Tax Issues Seminar Eastern Branch\nDate: 5th -6th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30\nVenue: Kyaka Hotel- Machakos \nOverview \nThis seminar\, organized by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK)\, aims to improve understanding of the relationship between PFM reforms and the implementation of IPSAS accruals. During the event\, insights and experiences in accrual accounting\, particularly in the public sector\, along with the attendant challenges\, will be shared. \nPublic Financial Management (PFM) is an important element in promoting financial discipline\, transparency\, and accountability in public fund management. Managing public funds using PFM best practices ensures efficient budgeting\, accurate financial statement reporting\, and informed decision-making\, thereby improving public-sector management and service delivery. More recent efforts to improve PFM have increasingly used accrual-based accounting systems to enhance the relevance and accuracy of financial reports. \nThe adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis is a major milestone in public-sector financial reporting. IPSAS Accrual provides a framework for recognizing\, measuring\, and reporting assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses\, enabling a clearer picture of the financial position and performance.

SUMMARY:Overview of  INPAS Standards webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nOverview of INPAS Standards webinar\nDate: 5th March 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents a landmark development in financial reporting for the non-profit sector. Launched in October 2025 as the first globally recognized accounting standard specifically designed for non-profit organizations (NPOs)\, INPAS provides a unified\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique characteristics of nonprofits. Unlike traditional standards such as IFRS or national GAAP\, which primarily serve for-profit entities\, INPAS addresses sector-specific challenges including diverse funding sources\, donor restrictions\, and grant reporting. It emerged from the International Financial Reporting for Non-Profit Organisations (IFR4NPO) project\, led by CIPFA and Humentum\, following extensive global consultations over six years involving stakeholders from more than 40 countries. \nINPAS is built upon the foundation of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard\, adapting and extending it to better reflect non-profit realities. It applies to small\, medium\, and large NPOs that use accrual accounting\, offering guidance for preparing whole-of-entity financial statements that meet the needs of a wide range of users\, including donors\, regulators\, and beneficiaries. The standard emphasizes producing transparent\, credible\, and comparable financial reports while reducing inconsistencies that arise when NPOs apply multiple or mismatched frameworks across jurisdictions and funders. \nA core objective of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in non-profit finances worldwide. It tackles long-standing issues such as the recognition and measurement of grants and donations\, the clear distinction and presentation of restricted versus unrestricted funds\, and the integration of meaningful narrative reporting alongside financial data. By providing specific rules for these areas\, INPAS helps ensure that financial statements deliver decision-useful information\, enabling stakeholders to better understand an organization’s resource allocation\, performance\, and compliance with donor intentions. \nThe standard covers comprehensive recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements customized to non-profit activities and funding models. It includes a Practice Guide for harmonized grant reporting\, which aims to streamline compliance across different funders and significantly reduce the administrative burden on NPOs that previously faced duplicative or conflicting reporting demands. This harmonization is expected to improve efficiency\, cut compliance costs\, and foster greater consistency in how financial information is communicated globally. \nINPAS promotes comparability across borders and organizations\, allowing donors\, governments\, and the public to more reliably assess and compare non-profits regardless of location or size. ICPAK has endorsed the use of the standards and early uptake is anticipated to build credibility and support informed decision-making. The standard’s standalone nature means NPOs can apply it independently\, though publicly accountable entities must make appropriate disclosures if choosing INPAS over full IFRS. \nOverall\, INPAS marks the non-profit sector’s alignment with the kind of standardized\, high-quality financial reporting long available to for-profit entities. By establishing a single\, sector-dedicated benchmark\, it seeks to strengthen donor confidence\, facilitate cross-border operations\, and ultimately contribute to more effective and trustworthy non-profit work worldwide. As implementation progresses\, ongoing guidance and resources from the International Non-Profit Reporting Foundation (INPRF) will support the transition for organizations adopting the standard. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on the standard. \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals working in the NPO Sector\, external auditors\, consultants\, academia and other interested professionals.  \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 MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE\nDate: 9th – 13th March 2026 \nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nVenue: Travellers Beach Hotel and Club\, Mombasa\nTheme: Strategic Management Accounting for Value Creation\, Performance Excellence & Sustainable Growth \nOVERVIEW \nManagement accounting has transformed significantly from its traditional role of cost tracking and financial control to a strategic function that supports organizational value creation\, performance excellence\, and long-term sustainability. In an increasingly volatile business environment\, management accountants are now required to provide forward-looking insights\, integrate financial intelligence with strategic planning\, and enhance decision-making through robust analytical tools. This shift reflects the growing recognition of management accounting as a cornerstone of competitive advantage and institutional resilience. \nA strong management accounting framework brings together financial analysis\, risk management\, budgeting\, forecasting\, and performance monitoring into a cohesive system that drives strategic clarity. Through techniques such as scenario analysis\, cost optimization\, and strategic performance measurement\, management accountants help organizations align strategic objectives with daily operations. These functions empower leaders to anticipate emerging risks\, deploy resources efficiently\, and strengthen operational discipline in a way that enhances organizational agility and sustainability. \nOrganizations are also experiencing heightened expectations around accountability\, performance\, and resource stewardship. Management accounting plays an indispensable role in supporting these demands by offering structured tools such as variance analysis\, performance reviews\, and value-for-money assessments. These tools enable institutions to detect inefficiencies\, measure progress against strategic goals\, and ensure that financial decisions are aligned with long-term priorities. In environments where public trust\, governance\, and cost efficiency are critical\, the role of management accountants becomes even more central. \nDigital transformation is reshaping management accounting by introducing advanced tools such as automation\, predictive analytics\, digital dashboards\, and integrated reporting systems. These technologies enable real-time monitoring of performance\, more accurate forecasting\, and deeper insights into organizational dynamics. As organizations adopt these innovations\, management accountants are increasingly stepping into strategic leadership roles—driving transformation\, facilitating data-driven decisions\, and integrating financial and non-financial metrics to create a holistic performance landscape. \nIt is in response to these evolving demands that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Management Accounting & Strategy Conference. This program brings together accountants\, finance managers\, strategy professionals\, auditors\, public-sector leaders\, and governance practitioners to explore modern tools\, strategic frameworks\, and best practices in management accounting.

It will also be of practical use to entrepreneurs and owners of SMEs who want to meet their tax obligations in an efficient and consistent manner. Delivered over two days\, this course simplifies concepts into a structured approach that enables the participants to apply the learned concepts immediately within their work environments. The session also provides ample time for sharing knowledge\, learning from each other\, and seeking clarification on emerging issues in tax administration. \nBy the end of the programme\, participants will have developed their competence in preparing and filing various tax returns\, reconciling records\, interpreting relevant legislation\, and aligning their processes with best practice.
