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. Although IPSAS Accrual is widely recognized for its benefits\, it is highly technical and demanding to implement. \nThe objective of the PFM and IPSAS Accrual seminar is to build capacity for professionals in the public finance community by enhancing their knowledge of PFM systems and how IPSAS Accrual is applied in practice. The seminar aims to examine all necessary dimensions\, both theoretical and operational\, for successful implementation. The participants are expected to have improved knowledge of PFM structures and processes\, a deeper understanding of the application of the IPSAS Accrual standard\, and greater insight into common implementation-related challenges. The participants will also be able to make efforts to improve the quality of financial reporting\, accountability\, and public-sector financial management. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the seminar: \nPublic Financial Management Frameworks and Reform Agenda\n• Objectives and key pillars of PFM\n• Integration of budgeting\, accounting\, reporting\, and oversight \nIntroduction to IPSAS Accrual Accounting\n• Conceptual foundations and principles of accrual accounting\n• Comparison between cash-based and accrual-based accounting \nTransition to IPSAS Accrual\n• Implementation strategies and phased approaches\n• Institutional and systems readiness \nAccounting for Assets and Liabilities in the Public Sector\n• Recognition and Measurement of public infrastructure and heritage assets\n• Treatment of liabilities\, provisions\, and contingent items \nFinancial Reporting and Disclosures under IPSAS Accrual\n• Components of accrual-based financial statements\n• Enhanced disclosure requirements and accountability \nImplementation Challenges and Practical Considerations\n• Data\, valuation\, and capacity constraints\n• Change management and stakeholder engagement \nOversight\, Audit\, and the Role of Professional Accountants\n• Assurance and compliance expectations\n• Supporting sustainable PFM and IPSAS reforms \nTarget Audience: \nThis seminar will be useful to professionals in Spheres. \nYour Financial Commitment \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \n CPD Units \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 14 CPD Units upon successfully attending all sessions. \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.   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. \n National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement:\nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.
