SUMMARY:THE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 14TH ANNUAL TAX CONVENTION (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Tax Practice in a High-Enforcement Era: Defensibility\, Data\, and Accountability \nDATE: 14TH – 18TH SEPTEMBER 2026\nVENUE: SAROVA WHITESANDS BEACH RESORT & SPA MOMBASA\nTIME: 09.00AM – 03.30PM\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nTax practice has entered a decisive enforcement phase in which understanding tax law is no longer sufficient on its own. Across the globe\, revenue authorities are shifting from compliance-oriented engagement to assertive\, technology-enabled enforcement models that emphasize data interrogation\, real-time reporting\, and retrospective scrutiny of tax positions. The implementation stage of global reforms\, particularly under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework and BEPS Pillar II\, has intensified audit activity and increased exposure to penalties\, adjustments\, and reputational risk for both taxpayers and their advisors. \nIn Kenya\, this shift is increasingly evident. Successive Finance Acts\, the expansion of electronic invoicing through eTIMS\, enhanced third-party data integration\, and a more aggressive audit posture by the Kenya Revenue Authority have fundamentally changed how compliance is assessed and enforced. Tax audits are now faster\, more data-driven\, and less reliant on negotiated outcomes. County governments\, facing growing fiscal pressure\, are also strengthening own-source revenue enforcement\, introducing an additional layer of compliance and dispute risk for businesses and professionals alike. \nAs enforcement intensity rises\, the role of the tax professional is being redefined. Practitioners are now expected to design and defend tax positions capable of withstanding deep forensic scrutiny\, manage electronic evidence trails\, respond to simultaneous national and county audits\, and guide clients through complex dispute and litigation processes. At the same time\, heightened enforcement has amplified ethical pressure\, professional liability exposure\, and reputational risk\, particularly where aggressive tax planning\, documentation weaknesses\, or governance failures are involved. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the 14th Annual Tax Convention is deliberately positioned as an advanced\, practice-oriented forum focused on enforcement realities rather than policy theory. The Convention will examine how tax laws are applied in practice\, how audits are conducted\, how disputes unfold\, and how professionals can protect both their clients and themselves in an increasingly unforgiving regulatory environment. Through technical sessions\, real-world case analysis\, and regulatory perspectives\, participants will gain practical insights into audit readiness\, defensibility\, dispute management\, and ethical decision-making under pressure. \nKey Coverage Areas of the 14th Tax Convention \nThe 14th Annual Tax Convention will delve into the following topical areas among others \nTheme 1: Tax Enforcement in a Data-Driven Era \n\nThe New Face of Tax Audits: Data Analytics\, Automation\, and Real-Time Enforcement\nManaging Audit Risk in an Aggressive Revenue Collection Environment\n\nTheme 2: Defensibility\, Evidence\, and Audit Readiness \n\nBuilding Defensible Tax Positions: Documentation\, Professional Judgement\, and Risk Assessment\n\n\nElectronic Evidence\, eTIMS Data\, and Transaction Reconstruction in Tax Audits\n\nTheme 3: Advanced International Tax and Transfer Pricing \n\nBEPS Pillar II in Practice: Compliance Failures\, Data Gaps\, and Enforcement Risks\nTransfer Pricing Audits: Trends\, Red Flags\, and Defense Strategies\n\nTheme 4: Disputes\, Litigation\, and Multi-Level Tax Risk \n\nManaging Tax Disputes from Assessment to Appeal: Practical Strategies\nCounty Own-Source Revenue Enforcement: Legal Risk\, Compliance\, and Litigation\n\nTheme 5: Accountability\, Ethics\, and Professional Survival \n\nEthics and Independence Under Pressure: Managing Client Expectations and Regulatory Scrutiny\n\n\nProfessional Liability\, Sanctions\, and Reputational Risk in Tax Practice\nTax Governance and Board Accountability: Strengthening Oversight in High-Enforcement Environments\n\nANNUAL TAX CONVENTION OBJECTIVES  \nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\nAnalyse the evolving tax enforcement environment in Kenya\, the region\, and globally\, and assess its implications for tax advisory and compliance practice.\nBuild and document defensible tax positions capable of withstanding data-driven audits and regulatory scrutiny.\n\n\nApply advanced skills in audit readiness\, electronic evidence management\, and transaction reconstruction\, particularly in the context of eTIMS and digital records.\n\n\nNavigate tax disputes and litigation more effectively\, including managing assessments\, objections\, appeals\, and negotiations with revenue authorities.\nInterpret and implement BEPS Pillar II and international tax rules with a focus on compliance risk\, penalties\, and enforcement exposure.\nStrengthen competence in transfer pricing audits\, including documentation standards\, red-flag identification\, and defence strategies.\n\n\nEvaluate emerging county and sub-national tax enforcement risks and manage overlapping national and county tax obligations.\nIntegrate ESG\, carbon taxation\, and sustainability obligations into tax practice with an appreciation of enforcement and disclosure risk.\n\n\nUphold ethical judgment\, independence\, and professional integrity under heightened regulatory\, commercial\, and reputational pressure.\nEnhance professional resilience by understanding personal liability\, sanctions\, and reputational risk associated with modern tax practice.\nSupport continuous professional development through advanced\, practice-oriented\, CPD-certified learning aligned with current enforcement realities.\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThis training is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration. It is also open to all Tax Professionals\, Audit Practitioners\, Senior Management of Organizations\, CEOs and Boards and government officials/experts who deal with international tax or transfer pricing in Africa and wish to gain a deeper technical understanding of relevant tax matters. \nAll members who would wish to practice in the future are also encouraged to enroll on the course as it provides practical skills required for effective performance of their roles in taxation and tax advisory services. \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS: \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the event. \n FINANCIAL INVESTMENT: \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: \nWe call on all 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 \, you can also reach us through marketing@icpak.com \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INTERNAL AUDIT\, RISK\, AND FORENSIC CONFERENCE 2026\nTheme: From Controls to Intelligence: Redefining Integrity through Risk and Forensic Insight\nDate: 30th November – 4th December 2026\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa\nTime: 09.00am–03.30pm \nOVERVIEW \nOrganizations today operate in environments defined by speed\, complexity\, and interconnected systems. Decisions are increasingly driven by digital platforms\, automated processes\, and real-time data flows. While governance frameworks and internal controls remain essential\, recent experiences across sectors have demonstrated that traditional control-based assurance models\, on their own\, are no longer sufficient to detect emerging risks or prevent organizational failure. \nModern risk exposure has evolved into sophisticated threats including cyber-enabled fraud\, insider manipulation\, data integrity risks\, money laundering schemes\, weak governance oversight\, and ethical blind spots embedded within organizational culture. These risks often materialize subtly\, amplified by technology\, fragmented accountability\, and delayed responses. Assurance functions must therefore move beyond static checklists and adopt intelligence-driven approaches that anticipate\, detect\, and respond to risk in real time. \nInternal audit functions are increasingly expected to act as strategic partners to Boards and senior management\, providing forward-looking assurance and insight rather than retrospective reviews. This evolution requires stronger integration of risk intelligence\, data analytics\, forensic methodologies\, and governance oversight. Forensic accounting\, once viewed primarily as a reactive investigative tool\, is now a critical component of proactive risk management\, supporting early detection of irregularities and strengthening accountability mechanisms. \nAt the same time\, organizations face heightened regulatory scrutiny\, growing public expectations for transparency\, and increasing pressure to demonstrate ethical leadership. Whistleblowing systems\, audit trails\, anti-money laundering controls\, and ethical culture are no longer optional safeguards but essential pillars of institutional credibility. Professionals charged with safeguarding these systems must therefore possess not only technical competence\, but also judgment\, resilience\, and the ability to navigate complex risk landscapes. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Internal Audit\, Risk\, and Forensic Conference provides a strategic forum for practitioners\, regulators\, and organizational leaders to examine how assurance functions can evolve from control-focused compliance roles into intelligence-led enablers of integrity and trust. Through expert insights\, practical case studies\, and cross-sector dialogue\, the conference will explore how risk intelligence and forensic insight can be leveraged to strengthen accountability\, protect value\, and enhance organizational resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis program is divided into the following modules covering various aspects. \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE \nTOPICS\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDAY 1\nInternal Audit in a Rapidly Evolving Environment \n \n\n\nIndependence\, objectivity\, and stakeholder expectations\nStrategic alignment with organizational goals\nCollaboration with external audit and assurance providers\n\n\n\n\nAudit Technology and Intelligent Risk Detection \n \n\n\nContinuous auditing and monitoring tools\nAutomation\, AI\, and data analytics in audit practice\nCybersecurity and digital forensics\n\n\n\n\nAudit Trails and Transaction Monitoring for Accountability \n \n\n\nDesigning robust audit trails\nTransaction reconstruction and data integrity\nDetecting anomalies through monitoring systems\n\n\n\n\n  \nDAY 2\nRisk-Based Auditing and Internal Control Frameworks \n \n\n\nCOSO and ISO 31000 in practice\nLinking risk assessment to audit planning\nEvaluating control effectiveness\n\n\n\n\nGovernance Structures and Oversight of Risk \n \n\n\nBoard and audit committee responsibilities\nRisk ownership and accountability\nIntegrating governance with enterprise risk management\n\n\n\n\nForensic Accounting and Financial Statement Fraud \n \n\n\nPrinciples and techniques of forensic investigations\nFraud indicators and red flags\nLessons from forensic case studies\n\n\n\n\n  \nDAY 3\nAnti-Money Laundering and Financial Crime Risks \n \n\n\nAML frameworks and regulatory expectations\nTechnology-enabled financial crime detection\nCrypto-assets\, fintech risks\, and cross-border trends\n\n\n\n\nCorporate Scandals and Assurance Failures \n \n\n\nHow controls and governance systems break down\nLessons from global and regional cases\nStrengthening accountability and reform measures\n\n\n\n\nWhistleblowing Frameworks and Ethical Accountability \n \n\n\nDesigning effective reporting mechanisms\nProtecting whistleblowers and managing retaliation risks\nEthical responsibilities of leadership and professionals\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nDAY 4\nEthical Culture\, Behaviour\, and Fraud Risk \n \n\n\nCulture as a driver of ethical or unethical conduct\nLinking ethics to risk management\nBuilding sustainable ethical environments\n\n\n\n\nProfessional Resilience and Well-being in Assurance Roles \n \n\n\nManaging stress in high-pressure audit and risk functions\nEmotional resilience and mental well-being\nDecision-making under uncertainty and sustaining professional judgment\n\n\n\n\n\n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the Internal Audit\, Risk\, and Forensic Conference. \nTARGET AUDIENCE  \nThe Conference is open to all Accountant Professionals\, Audit Practitioners\, Senior Management\, Risk Professionals\, CEOs\, and Boards. \nCONFERENCE CHARGES: \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKShs 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKShs. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKShs. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation**\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.
