THE 3RD ACCOUNTANCY RESEARCH CONFERENCE

Dates: 7th– 9th September 2022

Venue: Mombasa

ICPAK THIRD RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2022

The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya is in the forefront in shaping the policy direction of this country in accounting and related matters. This has been achieved through extensive research into topical areas of accountancy with a view to churning out empirical evidence as embedded in the Accountants Act Section 8 (b). The 3rd Research Conference intends to build the momentum that brings together different stakeholders and institutions for an intellectual discourse within the realms of accountancy.

The conference will provide an important forum for the interaction of different ideas and information between academicians and practitioners, in order to enhance the understanding of how the Accountancy profession can evolve, build resilience and sustain the growth of the profession and the economy at large in this digital age.

It is noteworthy that the emerging disruptions have forced countries and governments to rethink predictive analysis of the occurrence of the disruptions and their social, economic, and financial implications around the world. It requires collaboration between the government, academia, researchers, media, and companies to tackle it.

It is against this background that the Institute has organized its Third Research Conference building on the success of the previous two conferences. This year’s theme will be;

“Leveraging on Technology and Innovation for enhanced relevance of the Accountancy Profession and Business Agility”
