SUMMARY:Income Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar -mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIncome Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar-Mandatory Training\nDate: 8th – 9th April 2026\nTime: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nMode of Delivery: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe ever-changing economic environment\, bearing on the Government’s imperatives for revenue\, coupled with changes in the global tax environment and advances in the use of technology to administer taxes\, continues to redefine the taxation environment in Kenya. The recently enacted amendments to income tax and indirect tax laws have greatly impacted the way business\, individuals\, and professionals perform their financial reporting and compliance obligations. As the Kenyan government increases its tempo in implementing tax reforms to raise revenue mobilization\, especially from domestic sources\, taxpayers are increasingly required to demonstrate unprecedented levels of tax literacy\, compliance\, and moral obligation. In this respect\, targeted capacity building for accounting and finance professionals is increasingly warranted to equip them with updated knowledge and practical insights into the changing tax framework. \nICPAK intends to hold a seminar that brings together tax practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, policymakers\, and industry players to discuss emerging developments in income and indirect taxes. The forum will enable review of recent changes in legislation\, administrative guidelines\, judicial decisions\, and best practices on how to plan for and comply with taxes. It shall also provide participants with an opportunity to discuss with experts’ practical challenges that affect business pertaining to\, among other areas\, tax risk management\, tax audits\, digital taxation\, cross-border taxation challenges\, and the shifting landscape of tax policy relative to business sustainability and economic growth. \nOne key focus will be the recent changes in tax legislation. The seminar will also dig into the complex topic of transfer pricing\, focusing on the impact of these regulations on multinational corporations and how businesses can align their policies with international guidelines such as the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) framework. Participants will receive practical guidance on managing transfer pricing risks and ensuring compliance with global standards. \nIn addition to income tax\, the seminar will cover key issues in indirect taxes\, starting with the evolving landscape of Value Added Tax (VAT). The session will address the latest updates in VAT regulations\, compliance and opportunities for businesses to manage VAT refunds and audits effectively. Further discussions will cover the administration of excise taxes\, particularly in light of emerging trends in digital goods and services\, as well as the broader impact of excise duties on business profitability. \nThis seminar will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of income and indirect taxes while ensuring compliance and identifying tax planning opportunities. \nTarget Audience \nThis virtual symposium will be useful to all professional Accountants and other professionals interested in taxation.    \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:International Taxes and Transfer Pricing Workshop -Mandatory Training
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Taxes & Transfer Pricing Workshop\nDate: 6th – 7th May 2026\nTime: 9.00-4.00PM\nMode Of Delivery: Virtual\n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for practicing certificate consideration) \nOverview \nThe world business environment has continued to change in ways that blur borders and extend the reach of enterprises beyond domestic jurisdictions. As cross-border transactions have become more routine\, the tax complexities associated with such activities have mounted and the level of scrutiny applied to them has intensified. Compliance regimes are being clamped down globally\, multinational groups rethink operating models\, and professional accountants are expected to show deeper competence in international taxation regimes and transfer pricing principles. In this setting\, practitioners serving clients with either regional or global footprints must therefore balance strategic tax planning with strict adherence to the law. \nThis workshop aims to provide a reflective yet practical look into international taxation and transfer pricing\, focusing on the realities faced by Kenyan entities involved in cross-border arrangements. It combines issues of current concern\, regulator expectations\, and technical guidance that practitioners need to internalize in meeting their competency obligations. Participants will have a greater insight into how the multinational groups structure their operations\, how the tax authorities construe such arrangements\, and how accountants can assist in complying without unduly compromising sound commercial decisions. \nWith the increased attention that the OECD\, the African Tax Administration Forum\, and KRA are giving to the fair taxation of multinational operations\, this workshop will demystify selected technical concepts using case studies and regulatory updates. This is also an avenue through which practitioners can reflect on how domestic tax rules interact with evolving international standards\, particularly with respect to transfer pricing documentation\, resolution of disputes\, and management of tax risks. Each session is structured in a way that enhances both theoretical and practical insights to ensure that participants leave the sessions with information they can apply directly in client advisory\, audits\, and organization tax planning. \nIn the end\, the program reinforces ICPAK’s commitment to enhancing the professional competence of its members\, especially those studying for or maintaining a Practicing Certificate.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop (Mandatory Training)\nDate: 17th – 18th June 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAs global expectations for transparency and accountability continue to rise\, organizations are increasingly required to demonstrate credible performance on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) matters. Sustainability assurance has therefore become essential in strengthening stakeholder confidence by enhancing the reliability and quality of sustainability-related disclosures. With the rapid adoption of sustainability reporting frameworks and the alignment of financial and non-financial information\, professionals must deepen their understanding of the evolving assurance landscape. \nThe shift toward standardized sustainability reporting\, especially with the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, alongside established frameworks such as GRI\, SASB and local regulatory requirements\, has created a need for consistent application and interpretation. These frameworks provide the structure for identifying material ESG issues\, defining reporting boundaries and ensuring comparability across organizations and industries. \nClimate-related disclosures have emerged as integral to sustainability reporting. Accordingly\, understanding Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions become increasingly important as an entity measures and reports on its environmental impact. Accurate measurement and disclosure of emissions are increasingly linked to both financial reporting and enterprise risk management-factors that make this an area of significant focus during sustainability assurance engagements. \nHigh-quality ESG assurance requires quality internal controls\, reliable data systems\, and robust verification procedures. Practitioners should keep in mind the special challenges that arise when assessing ESG risks\, testing control environments\, and gathering evidence during limited or reasonable assurance engagements\, which are different from those encountered in traditional financial audits. The effective collection of data\, proper structuring of documentation\, and rigorous processes for verification are very important for credible sustainability reporting to the expectations of regulators and investors and wider stakeholders. \nThe workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following: \nOverview of Sustainability Assurance \n\nThe purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.\nThe role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.\nHow sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.\nKey drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance\n\n Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks \n\nGlobal frameworks: GRI\, SASB\, ISSB\, IFRS S1 & S2.\nLocal sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.\nAlignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.\nEmerging disclosure requirements for climate\, social\, and governance metrics.\n\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting \n\nUnderstanding Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions.\nRelevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.\nGHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).\nTransition risks\, climate scenarios\, and their impact on disclosures.\n\nSustainability Assurance Engagements \n\nUnpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000\nTypes of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.\nKey procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.\nIndependence\, ethical requirements\, and assurance provider qualifications.\nCommon challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.\n\nData Collection\, Verification\, and Reporting \n\nBest practices for ESG data collection and quality control.\nVerification techniques and third-party assurance.\nData governance\, documentation\, and internal record-keeping standards.\nUse of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.\n\nESG Risk Management and Internal Controls \n\nIntegrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.\nEnsuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.\nDesigning internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.\nMonitoring\, evaluation\, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Audit Quality Assurance Workshop-mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAudit Quality Assurance Workshop – Mandatory Training\nDate: 22nd-23rd July 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm daily\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nTheme: Strengthening Audit Quality for Public Trust & Professional Excellence \n(This is one of the mandatory training courses for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOverview \nAudit Quality Assurance remains the cornerstone of public confidence in financial reporting and the credibility of the accounting profession. In Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly demanding environment characterized by heightened regulatory oversight\, frequent quality inspections\, complex reporting frameworks\, expanded stakeholder expectations\, and growing exposure to litigation and reputational risk. These realities place audit quality not just as a technical requirement\, but as a strategic professional imperative. \nDespite significant regulatory progress and the adoption of international auditing and quality management standards\, inspection findings and practice reviews continue to reveal persistent gaps in key areas such as audit planning\, risk assessment\, documentation quality\, use of professional judgment\, audit evidence\, ethical compliance\, and firm-level quality management systems. Many practitioners still grapple with balancing commercial pressures\, client expectations\, independence requirements\, and the need for consistent\, high-quality audit execution. \nIn the Kenyan context\, auditors must also contend with complex public sector engagements\, evolving corporate governance standards\, procurement-driven audit risks\, and weak internal control environments in some institutions. These dynamics heighten exposure to audit failure\, fraud risk\, and regulatory sanctions—underscoring the urgent need for continuous professional upskilling focused on practical audit quality assurance. \nThis 2-Day Virtual Audit Quality Assurance Symposium is therefore designed as a focused\, practical\, and capacity-building forum to strengthen the foundations of audit quality in Kenya. It will address the entire audit quality value chain—from engagement acceptance\, planning\, and risk assessment to execution\, reporting\, ethics\, and firm-wide quality management. The symposium will also emphasize regulatory expectations\, inspection readiness\, and proactive quality control as essential components of sustainable audit practice. \nThrough practitioner-led discussions\, regulatory insights\, case studies\, and experience-sharing\, participants will be equipped with practical tools\, renewed professional judgment\, and structured quality assurance approaches to enhance consistency\, reduce audit failure risk\, and reinforce compliance with international standards. Ultimately\, the symposium seeks to reposition audit quality as a professional culture—not merely a compliance obligation—anchored in integrity\, competence\, and accountability. \n\nAudit Quality as a Professional Culture\n\n\nPositioning audit quality beyond compliance into a firm-wide culture anchored on integrity\, objectivity\, and public interest responsibility.\n\n\nRisk-Based Audit Planning & Professional Judgment\n\n\nStrengthening auditors’ capacity to conduct robust risk assessments\, exercise sound professional judgment\, and design responsive audit strategies in complex and high-risk environments.\n\n\nAudit Execution\, Evidence & Documentation Excellence\n\n\nEnhancing the quality of audit testing\, audit evidence sufficiency\, and documentation standards to meet regulatory inspection expectations and withstand legal and professional scrutiny.\n\n\nEthics\, Independence & Managing Commercial Pressures\n\n\nReinforcing ethical compliance\, independence safeguards\, and conflict management amidst client pressure\, competition\, advocacy threats\, and economic constraints.\n\n\nFirm-Level Quality Management Systems (ISQM 1 & 2)\n\n\nPractical implementation of Quality Management Systems at the firm and engagement partner level\, focusing on leadership responsibility\, engagement quality reviews\, monitoring\, and continuous improvement.\n\n\nRegulatory Expectations\, Inspections & Practice Review Readiness\n\n\nPreparing practitioners for ICPAK and external regulator inspections through proactive quality controls\, common inspection findings\, remediation strategies\, and sustainable compliance approaches.\n\nTarget Audience  \nThe virtual symposium is not limited to accountancy only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:ICPAK 7TH RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2026 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nICPAK 7TH RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme:  Advancing Sustainability and Innovation through Accountancy Research \nDate: 12th-14th August 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nINTRODUCTION \nThe 7th ICPAK Research Conference\, themed “Advancing Sustainability and Innovation Through Accountancy Research\,”\, seeks to bring together practitioners\, academics\, policymakers\, regulators\, researchers\, and industry stakeholders to explore how accountancy research can advance sustainability and innovation. \nGlobally\, integrating sustainability into business strategy and financial decisions has become essential to achieving long-term growth. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals\, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change\, and Kenya’s development frameworks\, including Vision 2030 and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda\, emphasize the need to balance economic growth with ESG responsibility. \nDespite the existence of these frameworks\, empirical studies show that while there has been increased adoption of sustainability and ESG reporting\, their integration into financial management and reporting remains limited. Many institutions continue to approach sustainability and innovation as separate functions\, resulting in inconsistent application in business and public sector decision-making. \nAt the same time\, developments in artificial intelligence and financial technology are redefining how performance is measured and value is reported. However\, the accountancy profession faces the challenge of adapting to technological change while ensuring that ethical and sustainability-driven practices remain central to financial management. \nThe 7th Research Conference\, therefore\, seeks to address this gap by providing a platform for the sharing of research findings and emerging trends to strengthen sustainability and shape the future of the accountancy profession in Kenya and beyond. \n\nRATIONALE\n\nThe rationale for the conference is grounded in key global and national developments\, outlined as follows: \n\nInternational reporting standards such as IFRS S1 and S2 have highlighted the need for reliable and comparable disclosures. Accountancy research on these areas can strengthen sustainability and integrated reporting and improve investor and stakeholder confidence.\nEconomies are facing increasing risks from climate-related risks such as droughts and floods\, which pose a threat to economic growth and stability. Accountancy research can illuminate best practices and develop frameworks for climate financial management.\nEmerging technologies such as AI\, blockchain\, big data analytics\, and fintech are transforming financial management\, auditing\, and reporting. Although these tools enhance efficiency\, they also raise important ethical governance and data protection concerns that require more research and policy alignment.\nKenya’s transition to accrual-based public sector accounting and ongoing reforms present opportunities to improve accountability and fiscal sustainability.

SUMMARY:ANNUAL PRACTITIONERS CONVENTION-Mandatory Training (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONVENTION\nTheme: Enhancing quality and efficiency in audit\, tax and advisory engagements\nDate: 12th – 14th August 2026\nTime: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe accountancy profession has undergone significant developments and experienced a lot of evolution over the past few years.  In recent years\, the global accounting profession has undergone significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements\, evolving regulatory frameworks\, increasing stakeholder expectations\, and the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethics. The audit environment has particularly experienced tremendous developments arising from the effect of new emerging and stringent regulations and standards among other social and economic developments.  This has also happened to the other areas of the profession which has necessitated the change of approach and tact in delivering professional accountancy engagements\, to align with rapid developments in technology\, geopolitical risks and stringent regulations. \nIn this dynamic environment\, audit practitioners\, tax professionals\, management consultants\, and accounting practitioners must remain agile and well-informed to maintain professional competence and deliver value to clients and stakeholders. This makes it imperative for practitioners to continually update their knowledge and skills in key emerging areas such as sustainability reporting and assurance\, artificial intelligence (AI)\, blockchain technology\, and Anti-Money Laundering Policies. \nIn Kenya\, we have witnessed growing pressure on the audit profession to meet the heightened expectations of regulators\, boards\, and the investing public following reported major frauds affecting the public such as KUSCCO and OAG reports on county expenditure. Practitioners consequently must shift towards risk-based auditing and value-driven assurance\, demanding rigorous application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Furthermore\, practitioners are today expected to strengthen their forensic capabilities\, leveraging data analytics and applying enhanced professional skepticism to detect anomalies and respond to fraud risks early. Practitioners are also faced with challenges revolving around compliance with regulations such as KRA\, SASRA\, RBA and AML. \nAs practitioners face expanding roles and increased public scrutiny\, soft skills such as communication\, leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and client management are no longer optional; they are critical enablers of success. This forum is therefore designed not only to advance technical mastery but also to empower audit professionals to lead with confidence\, integrity\, and agility in today’s complex assurance landscape. \nIt is against this background that the Institute has organized a three-day forum to discuss these critical developments which affect the practitioners in the different categories of practice\, and the accountancy profession at large and seek to address the rising concerns of work quality while ensuring that efficiency in undertaking engagements is maintained.  The Annual Practitioners Convention aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing\, professional development\, and networking among Practitioners. The convention will focus on equipping practitioners with the latest insights and practical tools to enhance their service delivery in an increasingly complex business environment. The following topics will guide the discussions in the Convention: \nTOPICS \n\nGlobal trends in utilization of technology within the accountancy practice\nFuture Fit Accountants: Roles for the next decade\nState of the accountancy profession in Africa- Trends for accountants in practice within various jurisdictions\nShifting landscape for practicing accountants: Utilization of technology for competitive advantage– AI\, Blockchain\, Audit Software\nOverview of the Unique Document Identification Number (UDIN)- Milestones and Opportunities\nAnti-Money Laundering and the Expanding Role of Auditors:\n\n\nAML Compliance by practitioners.\nAML frameworks and audit procedures for detecting red flags.\nEvaluating compliance with reporting obligations under AML laws.\nAuditor’s responsibilities in relation to reporting suspicious transactions.\n\n\nImplementation of firm and engagement level quality considerations – an in-depth assessment of the ISQM 1 and 2 requirements; ISA 220\nAudit approach and evaluation of audit considerations in line with changing standards- A focus on ISA 315 and ISA 500\nOverview of the taxation landscape and changing laws and the implications to practitioners\nOverview of the developments within the standard setting environment – international financial reporting standards\nOverview of the revised IFRS for SMEs\nAdvantages and approaches of adopting ISA for Less Complex Entities for Small & Medium Practices (SMPs) in Kenya\nGearing up for Sustainability Assurance for Practitioners In Kenya- Key Requirements and Way Forward\nSetting up of a firm and submitting winning bids- Positioning practitioners for success through development of responsive proposals\nKey findings of the Audit Quality Reviews – Major concerns and practical responses to the issues.\nFirm records management best practice guidelines and effective compliance to standards on reporting\nMental health for accounting practitioners during busy seasons\nSuccession planning for SMPs\nOverview of services rendered under the four categories of licenses and the practitioner’s tool kit;\n\n\nOverview of tools and methodologies from IFAC & PAFA \nChallenges and Opportunities for Small and Medium Practices – SMPs\n\nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the Conference sessions. \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nPrivate and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Tax Experts\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Extractive and SMEs sector accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in County Governments and private sectors\, Academia\, employees of the NPO Sector. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \n\n     2.     Delegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements \nONLINE BOOKING: \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the seminar is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking .

Organizations face operational\, financial\, and compliance challenges daily\, and even minor lapses in controls or ethical judgment can compromise organizational integrity\, reputation\, and stakeholder trust. For accounting\, audit\, finance\, and risk professionals\, proficiency in forensic accounting\, fraud detection\, and internal control frameworks is critical to ensuring organizational resilience. \nForensic insights and robust internal controls are no longer merely compliance tools—they are strategic enablers that help professionals detect irregularities\, prevent misconduct\, and maintain operational and financial accuracy. Professionals equipped with these skills can identify vulnerabilities in processes\, monitor critical systems\, and recommend interventions that strengthen governance structures. Modern digital technologies\, including data analytics\, AI-powered tools\, and continuous monitoring platforms\, have enhanced the ability to detect anomalies\, investigate suspicious transactions\, and prevent fraud before it escalates. \nA strong understanding of internal controls and forensic methodologies also promotes ethical decision-making and accountability. Professionals learn to navigate complex operational and financial landscapes\, maintain transparency\, and foster cultures that resist fraud and unethical behavior. Applied skills in transaction monitoring\, audit trails\, risk assessment\, whistleblower frameworks\, and investigative techniques ensure participants can contribute to an environment of trust\, resilience\, and accountability. \nThis two-day workshop blends practical exercises\, case studies\, and interactive discussions to provide participants with hands-on experience in forensic accounting\, fraud detection\, and internal controls. Delegates will explore real-world scenarios\, practice investigative and risk assessment techniques\, and discuss strategies for enhancing organizational integrity. The workshop also emphasizes collaboration\, ethical judgment\, and the application of technology in safeguarding financial and operational systems. \nIt is in recognition of the critical role of forensic accounting\, fraud awareness\, and internal controls in professional practice that the Institute has organized this workshop. The session is designed to enhance participants’ technical competence\, ethical awareness\, and practical skills to strengthen accountability\, governance\, and organizational resilience. \nThe workshop is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nFoundations of Forensic Accounting and Fraud Risk\n\n\nPrinciples\, purpose\, and scope of forensic accounting\nIdentifying common fraud schemes and red flags\nThe role of forensic accounting in organizational governance\n\n\nInternal Controls and Risk Mitigation\n\n\nDesigning\, assessing\, and strengthening internal control systems\nLinking controls to organizational objectives and compliance frameworks\nMonitoring mechanisms to prevent operational and financial breaches\n\n\nFraud Detection Techniques and Technology\n\n\nLeveraging data analytics\, ERP systems\, and continuous monitoring\nUsing AI and forensic software to detect irregularities\nCase studies demonstrating technology-driven fraud detection\n\n\nWhistleblowing\, Ethics\, and Accountability\n\n\nPrinciples and importance of whistleblower frameworks\nProtecting whistleblowers and promoting ethical decision-making\nLessons from real-life whistleblowing successes and failures\n\n\nApplied Forensic Case Studies\n\n\nScenario-based exercises to detect\, investigate\, and respond to fraud\nDeveloping mitigation strategies and risk response plans\nGroup discussions to reinforce practical learning\n\n\nStrengthening Governance and Networking with Forensic Awareness\n\n\nBoard and management roles in fraud risk oversight\nStrategies for promoting transparency\, accountability\, and ethical culture\nNetworking and peer collaboration to share experiences and practical insights\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Enhancement of compliance from reviews webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEnhancement of Compliance from Reviews webinar\nDate: 22nd September 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) conducts practice reviews and quality assurance assessments to promote adherence to professional standards\, ethical requirements\, and regulatory obligations among accounting professionals and firms. These reviews provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of quality management systems\, audit methodologies\, documentation practices\, independence requirements\, and compliance with applicable professional standards. The findings and recommendations arising from such reviews offer an opportunity for firms and practitioners to identify weaknesses and implement measures that strengthen compliance and improve the quality of professional services. \nThe purpose of this initiative is to enhance compliance through the effective implementation of recommendations arising from ICPAK reviews. By addressing identified gaps and strengthening internal controls\, firms can improve adherence to professional and ethical standards\, reduce the risk of regulatory breaches\, and enhance the quality and reliability of their services. The initiative seeks to foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability within professional practice. \nTo achieve this objective\, firms will review and analyze findings from ICPAK review reports\, develop corrective action plans\, and implement measures to address identified deficiencies. This will include reviewing and updating policies and procedures\, strengthening quality management systems\, improving documentation and record-keeping practices\, and providing targeted training to staff on professional and regulatory requirements. Periodic internal reviews and monitoring activities will also be undertaken to assess progress and ensure sustained compliance. \nThe expected outcome of this initiative is improved compliance with ICPAK requirements\, professional standards\, and ethical obligations. Enhanced compliance will contribute to higher-quality audit\, assurance\, and accounting services\, strengthen stakeholder confidence\, and reduce the recurrence of findings in future reviews. In addition\, stronger governance\, risk management\, and internal control processes will support the long-term sustainability and reputation of firms and practitioners. \nThe reviews serve as an important mechanism for promoting professional excellence and regulatory compliance within the accounting profession. By proactively addressing review findings and implementing recommended improvements\, firms and practitioners can strengthen their compliance frameworks\, improve service quality\, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. \nTraining areas \n\nOverview of ICPAK Practice Reviews and areas of improvement\nISQM 1 and ISQM 2 Compliance\nEthics and Independence Requirements\nApplication of International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\nMonitoring and Internal Compliance Reviews\nAnti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing Compliance\nImplementation of Review Recommendations\nTechnology and Quality Management\n\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.

SUMMARY:THE 10TH NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(ESTABLISHED UNDER THE ACCOUNTANTS ACT\, LAWS OF KENYA) \nTHE 10th NATIONAL LADY ACCOUNTANTS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Ladies for Sustainable Leadership\, Innovation\, and Inclusive Growth in a Globally Competitive Landscape\n28th SEPTEMBER – 2nd OCTOBER 2026\nSAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA\, MOMBASA\nTIME: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nThe ICPAK National Lady Accountants Conference stands as a premier platform dedicated to celebrating\, empowering\, and advancing women in the accounting and other professions. It brings together female professionals across diverse sectors to reflect on their contribution to financial leadership\, governance\, and economic development\, while also creating space for dialogue on the challenges and opportunities that shape their personal and professional journeys. In a field that continues to evolve rapidly\, the conference recognizes the critical role women accountants play in driving integrity\, innovation\, and sustainable value creation within organizations and the broader economy. \nIn today’s rapidly evolving global economy\, empowering women to assume leadership roles is no longer a matter of equity alone but a strategic imperative for sustainable progress. Women leaders bring distinctive perspectives shaped by diverse life experiences\, fostering decision-making that prioritizes long-term resilience over short-term gains. Sustainable leadership\, when championed by ladies\, integrates environmental stewardship\, ethical governance\, and social responsibility into core business strategies. This approach helps organizations navigate volatility—whether from climate challenges or geopolitical shifts—while building stakeholder trust and ensuring enduring viability in competitive international markets. \nInnovation flourishes when barriers to women’s participation are dismantled. Ladies often excel at collaborative problem-solving and human-centered design\, injecting fresh ideas into technology\, healthcare\, finance\, and green industries. By investing in women and inclusive innovation ecosystems\, organizations unlock untapped talent pools that drive breakthroughs. In a globally competitive landscape\, companies and nations that harness female ingenuity report higher patent filings\, agile adaptation to market disruptions\, and the creation of solutions that address both local needs and universal challenges\, such as sustainable energy and digital inclusion. \nThere is a growing recognition of the critical role women accountants play in driving ethical leadership\, financial transparency\, and sustainable organizational growth. As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation\, sustainability reporting and integrated thinking\, lady accountants are expected to take up more strategic roles beyond compliance and reporting. One of the key benefits of this conference is enhanced professional capability and leadership development among women in the accounting and other professions. \nThe 10th National Lady Accountants Conference therefore aims to demystify complex and emerging areas while empowering women to confidently navigate leadership roles and professional challenges. It will provide practical insights into how strategic decisions are influenced and how women can position themselves as key drivers of transformation within their organizations. Additionally\, participants are expected to be better equipped to lead with confidence\,  create strong and lasting personal brands\, overcome career plateaus\, embrace innovation and contribute meaningfully to sustainable financial and organizational success. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the conference: \n\nWomen in Leadership and Influence – Exploring pathways for women to attain leadership roles and shape strategic decisions in different professions.\nNavigating Career Plateaus – Practical Strategies for Career Elevation \nCountry Living – Embracing a Significant Shift in One’s Life \nChild Adoption and Family Building \nFinancial Independence and Wealth Creation for Women Professionals – Empowering ladies to build personal wealth\, invest strategically\, and achieve financial security.\nWork-Life Integration and Career Sustainability – Addressing the balance between professional growth\, personal responsibilities\, and long-term career resilience.\nRetirement Preparedness & Transition – Beyond Golf\, Grand children and \nPersonal Branding and Professional Visibility – Building strong professional identities to enhance influence\, recognition\, and career advancement.\nEffective Parenting in the Modern Age – tenets for proper upbringing of children \nDealing with\, overcoming and supporting those going through divorce and separation \nLeading Multigeneration Teams with different Dynamics \nThe Changing Nature and Future of Work in Accounting & Across Professions – Adapting to remote work\, hybrid models\, and evolving workplace expectations.\nDigital Transformation in Finance and Accounting – Leveraging emerging technologies such as AI\, data analytics\, and automation to enhance efficiency at the workplace.\nOutdoor Activity – Team Building for Confidence and Wellness.\nFree Counselling Services\nFriday Gala Dinner \n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThe Conference will be beneficial to all ladies both accountants and non- accountants\, women in leadership positions and those aspiring to join leadership positions. \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the Conference. \nCONFERENCE CHARGES: \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKShs 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKShs. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKShs. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation**\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nNote: Seminar charges cater for training fee\, training materials\, certificate and meals during the event. \nONLINE BOOKING \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for webinar 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.

SUMMARY:International Non-Profit Accounting Standard -INPAS
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS)\nTheme:\nDate: 1st -2nd October 2026\nTime: 9:00 am to 03.30pm\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium CPA Centre\, Nairobi \nOverview \nNon-Profit Organizations (NPOs)\, Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs)\, and civil society entities play a critical role in driving socio-economic development\, humanitarian response\, and community empowerment across Kenya and the broader East African region. Managing substantial financial resources from international donors\, local grantors\, and public contributions\, these organizations operate under heightened expectations for financial stewardship\, transparency\, and accountability. \nDespite their economic weight and social impact\, the non-profit sector has historically lacked a single\, globally recognized financial reporting framework tailored specifically to its non-commercial realities. Conventional accounting frameworks—such as IFRS for commercial enterprises or IPSAS for public sector institutions—do not fully address specialized NPO transactions. Key accounting challenges faced by practitioners include the treatment of restricted vs. unrestricted donor contributions\, multi-currency grant management\, overhead cost allocations\, volunteer services\, and non-reciprocal transfers. \nTo address these structural reporting gaps\, international initiatives have driven the adoption of standardized non-profit guidance—widely referenced as the International Non-Profit Accounting Guidance (INPAG/INPAS) framework. This framework introduces consistent accounting principles designed to harmonize financial disclosures\, eliminate donor reporting fragmentation\, and build long-term institutional credibility. \nTo support finance practitioners in implementing these evolving standards\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this two-day intensive workshop at the CPA Center. The course will provide finance directors\, grants managers\, accountants\, and auditors with practical tools to navigate INPAG/INPAS mechanics\, strengthen internal controls\, avoid donor audit disallowances\, and ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements such as the PBO framework in Kenya. \nTopics \n\nOverview & Core Foundations of INPAS / Non-Profit Reporting\n\n\nPurpose\, scope\, and objectives of international non-profit reporting standards.\nKey differences between commercial financial reporting (IFRS)\, public sector reporting (IPSAS)\, and non-profit guidance (INPAG/INPAS).\nFundamental concepts: Accounting for non-reciprocal transfers\, donor-imposed restrictions\, and fund accounting mechanics.\n\n\nRevenue Recognition & Grant Accounting\n\n\nRecognition and measurement of conditional vs. unconditional donor contributions.\nAccounting treatment for multi-currency donor projects and foreign exchange fluctuation management.\nValuation and disclosure of in-kind contributions\, donated services\, and volunteer time.\n\n\nFinancial Statement Presentation & Disclosures in NPOs\n\n\nStructure and components of NPO financial statements (Statement of Financial Position\, Performance\, and Cash Flows).\nPrinciples of fund accounting: Segregation of restricted\, temporarily restricted\, and unrestricted funds.\nEnhanced disclosure requirements for donor commitments\, grant balances\, and administrative vs. program expense ratios.\n\n\nGrant Compliance\, Cost Allocation & Disallowed Costs\n\n\nMethodologies for direct and indirect cost allocations across multiple donor programs.\nManaging grant terms\, time-bound commitments\, and compliance tracking.\nIdentifying and mitigating risks that lead to disallowed costs in donor audits.\n\n\nInternal Controls\, Risk Management & Audit Preparedness\n\n\nDesigning robust internal control frameworks tailored to decentralized field operations and donor project execution.\nFraud prevention\, dual-authorization protocols\, and procurement compliance in donor-funded projects.\nPreparing for external donor audits\, statutory audits\, and specialized compliance reviews.\n\n\nStatutory\, Tax & Regulatory Compliance for NPOs in Kenya\n\n\nNavigating the regulatory landscape for NGOs and Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs) in Kenya.\nTax obligations\, statutory exemptions\, withholding tax considerations\, and PAYE for grant-funded personnel.\nStatutory reporting and annual returns filing requirements for civil society organizations.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 18\,500.

SUMMARY:ICPAK-IEBC Webinar - Transparent Elections\, Accountable Democracy
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nICPAK-IEBC Webinar Series – Transparent Elections\, Accountable Democracy\nTheme: Strengthening Trust in Electoral Governance through Transparency\, Accountability\, and Public Participation\nDate : 2nd October 2026\nTime: 3.00pm. – 5.00 p.m.\nVenue: Virtual \n1.0 Background and Context\nElectoral process in Kenya plays a significant role in determining the authoritative allocation of values and resources to safeguard public interests and solve public problems. The role of accountants in oversight\, representation and legislation cannot be overstated as they are the watchdogs and gatekeepers to ensure prudent\, effective and lawful application of resources for the benefit of the common citizens. Accountants are therefore duty-bound to participate in this important process that confers the oversight mandate as a noble responsibility that is easily identifiable with the values that the Institute and the accountancy fraternity espouse. \nTransparent and accountable elections are central to democratic legitimacy\, public trust\, peaceful political competition\, and effective governance. In Kenya\, electoral transparency continues to be a priority area as institutions\, political actors\, civil society\, professional bodies\, and citizens prepare for future electoral cycles. Key areas of public concern include campaign financing\, compliance by political parties and candidates\, the integrity of election technology\, voter education\, election observation\, dispute resolution\, and post-election accountability. \nRecent stakeholder engagement around campaign financing regulations and spending limits has reinforced the need for sustained public dialogue on electoral integrity. These discussions provide an opportunity to deepen understanding of the legal\, institutional\, financial\, technological\, and civic responsibilities required to deliver credible elections. The proposed webinar series will therefore create a platform for shared learning\, practical recommendations\, and multisectoral engagement on election transparency and accountability. \n2.0 Rationale\nThe credibility of elections depends not only on the conduct of polling day but also on the transparency of campaign financing\, the fairness of political competition\, the accountability of electoral institutions\, and the confidence of citizens in the entire electoral cycle. Weak oversight of campaign resources\, limited public access to electoral information\, misinformation\, gaps in civic education\, and concerns about technology can undermine trust in electoral outcomes. \nA focused webinar series will provide a timely forum for policy dialogue\, professional input\, and public education. It will also help stakeholders identify actionable reforms and practical accountability measures that can strengthen electoral governance before\, during\, and after elections. \nThe proposed webinar series will provide a timely and strategic platform for strengthening transparency\, accountability\, and trust in electoral governance. By bringing together institutional actors\, professional bodies\, political stakeholders\, civil society\, experts\, and citizens\, the series will contribute to practical conversations and reform-oriented recommendations that support credible\, inclusive\, and accountable elections. \n3.0 Overall Objective\nThe Webinar series are geared to promote informed dialogue\, stakeholder collaboration\, and practical reform proposals that strengthen transparency\, accountability\, public trust\, and integrity in electoral governance in Kenya. \n4.0 Specific Objectives\nSpecifically\, through the webinars the Institute in collaboration with IEBC aims to: \n\nPromote civic education and public communication on electoral transparency and accountability.\nFoster accountants contribution in electoral governance and processes.\nEnhance understanding of campaign finance regulation\, disclosure\, compliance\, and enforcement.\nExamine the role of technology\, observation\, and data integrity in promoting election credibility.\nStrengthen collaboration between the electoral body\, professional institutions\, civil society\, political parties\, and citizens.\nIdentify reforms and accountability mechanisms that can improve public confidence in electoral processes.\n\nSession 1: Campaign Financing\, Compliance\, and Accountability: Disclosure\, reporting\, auditing\, enforcement\, and oversight \nObjective: To examine the effectiveness of the campaign financing framework\, identify compliance challenges faced by political parties and candidates\, and explore reforms that can improve disclosure\, enforcement\, and public accountability. \nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar is open to all. \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 webinar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe webinar charges are Kshs.

SUMMARY:Stress Management and resilience for professionals-webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nStress Management and Resilience for Professionals Webinar\nTheme: Building Resilience for Sustainable Professional Performance and Well-being\nDate: 6th October 2026\nMode: Virtual\nTime: 4:00pm-6:00pm \nOverview \nToday’s professionals are operating in increasingly demanding environments shaped by evolving business models\, rapid technological change\, regulatory expectations\, tight deadlines\, and rising stakeholder demands. While these pressures can drive innovation and productivity\, they can also lead to prolonged stress\, burnout\, reduced performance\, and diminished well-being when not managed effectively. In this context\, stress management and resilience have become essential competencies for sustainable professional performance. \nStress is a natural response to workplace demands. However\, when it remains unmanaged\, it can affect physical health\, emotional well-being\, decision-making\, productivity\, and professional relationships. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders who often work in high-pressure settings\, the ability to manage stress while maintaining sound professional judgment is critical. \nResilience enables professionals to adapt positively to challenges\, recover from setbacks\, and remain focused during periods of uncertainty and change. It goes beyond coping with pressure; it is the capacity to learn\, grow\, and thrive despite adversity. Resilient professionals demonstrate emotional intelligence\, adaptability\, optimism\, and effective problem-solving skills\, which strengthen leadership\, teamwork\, communication\, and overall organizational performance. \nCreating mentally healthy workplaces requires shared commitment from both individuals and organizations. Leaders play a key role in fostering supportive environments that promote open communication\, psychological safety\, work-life balance\, and proactive stress management. Organizations that invest in employee well-being and resilience benefit from stronger engagement\, reduced absenteeism\, improved collaboration\, and higher levels of innovation and performance. \nThis webinar will equip participants with practical knowledge and evidence-based strategies for managing workplace stress and building resilience in demanding professional environments. Through expert presentations\, practical exercises\, and interactive discussions\, participants will learn how to recognize stress indicators\, strengthen emotional resilience\, improve coping mechanisms\, and maintain performance while safeguarding their mental well-being. \nRecognizing that resilient professionals are better positioned to deliver high-quality services\, exercise sound judgment\, and lead effectively through change\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to support members in strengthening stress management\, resilience\, and personal well-being. The programme is designed to help professionals sustain long-term performance while contributing to healthier\, more productive\, and more resilient workplaces. \n Topics To Be Covered \n\n Understanding Workplace Stress\n\n\nCommon sources of stress in professional environments\nEffects of prolonged stress\, pressure\, and burnout\nEarly warning signs and indicators of stress\n\n\n Building Personal Resilience\n\n\nKey characteristics of resilient professionals\nDeveloping adaptability\, emotional resilience\, and optimism\nMaintaining focus and performance under pressure\n\n\n Practical Strategies for Managing Stress\n\n\nEffective time\, priority\, and workload management\nPractical coping techniques\, mindfulness\, and recovery practices\nMaintaining healthy boundaries and work-life balance\n\n\n Creating a Healthy Professional Lifestyle\n\n\nPromoting personal well-being and sustainable professional habits\nBuilding supportive workplace relationships and communication practices\nDeveloping a personal resilience action plan\, followed by Q&A\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Reporting Course (physical option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Course (physical option)\nTheme: Advancing Sustainability Reporting: From Compliance to Value Creation\nDate: 8th -9th October  2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: ICPAK Auditorium\, CPA Centre \nOverview \nHow can organizations effectively respond to growing stakeholder expectations for transparent\, reliable\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures while meeting emerging global reporting requirements? \nSustainability reporting has rapidly evolved from a voluntary corporate responsibility exercise into a critical component of corporate governance\, risk management\, and strategic decision-making. Investors\, regulators\, lenders\, customers\, and other stakeholders increasingly require organizations to disclose how sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect their business model\, strategy\, financial performance\, and long-term value creation. \nThe global sustainability reporting landscape has undergone significant transformation following the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the issuance of IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. These standards establish a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures and are increasingly influencing reporting expectations across jurisdictions\, industries\, and capital markets. \nOrganizations are now expected to go beyond broad sustainability narratives by demonstrating strong governance\, effective risk management\, measurable performance\, and credible climate-related disclosures. This includes identifying\, measuring\, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, climate-related risks and opportunities\, sustainability metrics\, and transition plans. As a result\, organizations must strengthen their reporting capabilities\, data management processes\, internal controls\, and readiness for assurance. \nProfessional accountants are at the centre of this transformation. Their expertise in reporting\, governance\, assurance\, internal controls\, performance measurement\, and risk management positions them to play a critical role in the implementation of sustainability reporting frameworks and standards. As organizations increasingly integrate sustainability considerations into business strategy and decision-making\, accountants must develop the practical competencies required to prepare\, review\, and support sustainability disclosures. \nIn line with its mandate to promote high standards of professional competence and support the accountancy profession\, ICPAK has organized this course to equip participants with practical knowledge and implementation skills in sustainability reporting. The training will provide guidance on applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 requirements\, conducting materiality assessments\, measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions\, developing sustainability disclosures\, establishing sustainability metrics and targets\, strengthening sustainability data governance\, and preparing organizations for sustainability assurance requirements. \nKey Topics     \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding and Implementing IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards\n·         Overview of the ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Framework \n·         IFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information \n·         IFRS S2 – Climate-related Disclosures \n·         Sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Integration of sustainability reporting with financial reporting \n·         Governance responsibilities for sustainability reporting \n \n\n\nB.   Materiality Assessment and Sustainability Risk Identification\n·         Principles of sustainability materiality assessment \n·         Identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Stakeholder engagement and value chain considerations \n·         Risk and opportunity assessment methodologies \n·         Documentation and evidence requirements \n·         Integrating sustainability considerations into enterprise risk management \n \n\n\nC.   Climate Reporting and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions\n·         Climate-related disclosure requirements under IFRS S2 \n·         Understanding greenhouse gas emissions \n·         Scope 1 emissions \n·         Scope 2 emissions \n·         Scope 3 emissions \n·         GHG Protocol principles and reporting considerations \n·         Measuring\, calculating\, and reporting GHG emissions \n·         Common implementation challenges and practical solutions\n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Sustainability Metrics\, Targets\, and Data Management\n·         Sustainability metrics and performance indicators \n·         Climate-related metrics and targets \n·         Sustainability data collection and management systems \n·         Internal controls over sustainability information \n·         Data governance and data quality management \n·         Monitoring and evaluating sustainability performance\n\n\nE.     Developing Sustainability Disclosures and Reports\n·         Governance disclosures \n·         Strategy disclosures \n·         Risk management disclosures \n·         Metrics and targets disclosures \n·         Preparing IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 aligned sustainability reports \n·         Common reporting challenges and how to address them \n·         Practical case studies and reporting exercises \n \n\n\nF.   Sustainability Assurance and Emerging Developments\n·         Sustainability assurance landscape \n·         Limited versus reasonable assurance \n·         Internal audit and sustainability reporting \n·         Greenwashing risks and reporting integrity \n·         Emerging sustainability reporting trends \n·         Future developments in sustainability disclosures and regulation \n \n\n\n\n Target Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:The Forensic\, Fraud\, Internal Controls and their effects on Financial Statements (North Rift Branch)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nThe Forensic\, Fraud\, Internal Controls and their effects on Financial Statements – North Rift Branch\nDate: 8th-9th October  2026\nTime: 09.00am -3.30pm\nVenue: Saiwa Safari\, Kitale \nOverview \nFinancial statements are a critical source of information for investors\, regulators\, management and other stakeholders\, as they provide insight into an entity’s financial position and performance. However\, the reliability of these statements can be compromised by fraudulent activities\, weak internal control systems and deliberate financial misstatements. Forensic accounting has therefore become an important discipline in identifying\, investigating and addressing financial irregularities. Understanding the foundations of forensic accounting and financial fraud\, as well as fraud risks in financial reporting\, is essential in safeguarding the credibility and integrity of financial information. \nFraud can have a substantial impact on the reporting of financial statements\, including the overstatement of assets\, understatement of liabilities\, overstatement of revenues and understatement of expenses. These have a direct influence on the reporting of the Statement of Financial Position\, the Statement of Profit or Loss and the Statement of Cash Flows. Analyzing the influence of fraud on the reporting of the financial position of an entity\, the influence of fraud on the reporting of the profit or loss of an entity\, and the influence of fraud on the reporting of the cash flows of an entity provide an overview of the influence of fraudulent activities on the financial position of an entity. \nStrong internal control systems and financial reporting reliability play a fundamental role in preventing and detecting fraud within organizations. Effective control frameworks\, supported by governance structures and oversight mechanisms\, reduce the opportunities for manipulation and enhance accountability. At the same time\, failures in governance and control breakdowns can create an environment where fraud can occur or remain undetected\, highlighting the importance of strong institutional frameworks\, ethical leadership and effective monitoring processes. \nThis seminar will provide participants with practical insights into forensic techniques used in detecting financial statement fraud\, the importance of effective governance and control of environments\, and strategies for strengthening internal controls to safeguard financial statements. By exploring these areas\, participants will enhance their ability to identify fraud indicators\, understand the effects of fraudulent activities on financial reporting and apply stronger control and monitoring practices that improve transparency\, accountability and confidence in financial statements. \nTopical areas of discussion: \n\nForensic Audit:\n\n\nFinancial records & evidence\nAudit procedures\nEvidence of irregularities\nUse of forensic audits in litigation and dispute resolution\n\n\nForensic Investigation\, Report Writing & Evidence Preparation\n\n\nForensic tools\nEvidence gathering techniques\nChain of custody and evidence preservation\nStructuring forensic reports for legal and management use\n\n\nFraud Risk Assessments\n\n\nFraud risk identification and mapping\nFraud risk assessment frameworks and methodologies\nDesigning and implementing fraud risk registers\n\n\nInternal Control Systems\, Policies and Procedures & Financial Reporting Reliability\n\n\nControl design and implementation best practices\nControl testing and evaluation techniques\nLink between internal controls and reliable financial reporting\n\n\nModern Day Fraud\n\n\nEmerging fraud trends (cyber fraud\, mobile money fraud\, procurement fraud)\nDigital payment systems and associated risks\nInsider fraud vs external fraud\n\n\nImpact of Fraud on Financial Statements\n\n\nEffects on Statement of Financial Position\, Profit or Loss\, and Cash Flows\nFinancial Statement Fraud Schemes and Red Flags\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the seminar. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kes. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:ANNUAL GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIEDPUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nANNUAL GOVERNANCE & ETHICS CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme: Navigating Complexity: Governance & Ethics in an Era of Disruption\nVENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH HOTEL AND SPA MOMBASA\nDATE: 12TH TO 16TH OCTOBER 2026\nTIME: 09.00am-03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nIt is widely recognized that governance and ethics are critical to organizational sustainability\, stakeholder trust and long-term value creation. Strong governance and ethical leadership promote accountability\, transparency and responsible stewardship. Together\, they form the foundation of resilient and successful organizations. \nIn recent years\, Kenya’s governance landscape has evolved significantly. Heightened regulatory scrutiny\, rapid technological advancements\, growing sustainability requirements\, and rising stakeholder expectations have reshaped the governance agenda. Consequently\, boards\, executives\, and professionals now operate in a more complex environment and are expected to uphold higher standards of accountability\, transparency and ethical conduct. \nWithin the Kenyan context\, good governance is anchored on constitutional principles\, legal frameworks and regulatory requirements. These frameworks promote integrity\, fairness\, accountability and prudent management of resources. However\, compliance alone is no longer sufficient. Organizations must foster ethical cultures that are supported by strong leadership and effective governance structures. When leaders set the right tone at the top\, ethical behaviour becomes embedded throughout the organization. \nOrganizations are also facing a growing range of risks. Traditional challenges such as fraud\, conflicts of interest\, weak internal controls\, and financial misreporting remain prevalent. At the same time\, new risks have emerged from digital transformation\, cybersecurity threats\, data privacy concerns\, artificial intelligence and evolving regulatory requirements. These challenges require robust risk management systems\, effective internal controls and clear accountability mechanisms. \nA strong governance framework also encourages openness and transparency. Organizations should cultivate a culture where employees and stakeholders can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Effective whistleblowing mechanisms and speak-up cultures help detect misconduct early\, strengthen accountability and protect organizational integrity. \nGovernance today extends beyond compliance and oversight. Boards are increasingly expected to provide strategic leadership\, oversee risk and performance and drive long-term sustainability. Environmental\, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations have become an integral part of corporate strategy. Equally important is transparent engagement with stakeholders through meaningful communication and sustainability reporting. \nAs organizations embrace digital transformation and automation\, ethical considerations must remain at the forefront of decision-making. Leaders must ensure that technology is deployed responsibly and in a manner that aligns with organizational values\, regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. Particular attention must be given to data governance\, cybersecurity\, artificial intelligence and digital ethics. \nIn this rapidly changing environment\, organizations require governance systems that are compliant\, ethical\, agile\, and future-ready.

SUMMARY:International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar\nDate: 13th October 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 \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.
