SUMMARY:THE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE ABCs OF FINANCE: FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCE PROFESSIONALS CONFERENCE\nTheme: Empowering Non-Finance Professionals with Practical Financial Insights for Informed Decision-Making\nDate: 4th-8th May 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha. \nOVERVIEW \nIn today’s interconnected business environment\, financial literacy is no longer confined to accountants and finance specialists. Non-finance professionals\, such as managers in marketing\, operations\, HR\, or IT\, increasingly need to understand financial principles to contribute effectively to organizational success. Finance training equips them with the tools to interpret financial data\, make informed decisions\, and align their departmental goals with the company’s overall financial health. \nThere is a growing need for professionals in all fields to have a basic understanding of financial concepts that would enable them to contribute to organizational decision-making. Interpreting financial information and appreciating the consequences of budgetary decisions\, or understanding the financial health of an entity\, are no longer the exclusive domain of a finance department. As organizations increasingly adopt more integrated approaches to operations\, finance continues to play a central role in ensuring transparency\, sustainability\, and responsible resource allocation. Enhancing financial competencies among staff outside the finance function supports better governance structures\, reduces risk\, and enhances the effective monitoring of performance \nOne of the primary benefits of finance training for non-finance professionals is enhanced decision-making. By understanding key concepts like budgeting and cost control\, non finance professionals will be able evaluate the financial implications of their choices\, leading to more strategic and profitable outcomes. This empowers them to identify opportunities for cost savings and revenue growth within their roles. \nThis finance training will also bridge communication gaps between departments. Non-finance staff often collaborate with finance teams on projects or reports. With basic financial knowledge\, they can speak the “language of finance\,” ask relevant questions\, and provide meaningful input\, fostering better teamwork and reducing misunderstandings. The conference will delve into reading and interpreting financial statements—the balance sheet\, income statement\, and cash flow statement. These documents provide a snapshot of a company’s financial position\, performance\, and liquidity\, allowing professionals to assess health and spot potential issues early. The discussions will bridge the gap in knowledge by equipping the non-finance professional with fundamental financial concepts supportive of informed decision-making\, accountability\, and performance improvement across roles and sectors. \nThe ABCs of Finance for Non-Finance Professionals Conference aims to demystify core areas of finance perceived to be complex. The approach is designed to give participants insights\, in a practical way\, into how financial systems work\, what the financial statements really say\, and how financial plans drive strategy and operational priorities. This conference offers an enabling\, yet simplified\, approach toward financial literacy\, empowering professionals to engage confidently with financial conversations and meaningfully contribute to organizational planning and control processes. \nAt the end of the conference\, participants should be able to appreciate how to interpret financial information; understand how budgets are prepared; analyze the performance of an organization; and assist executives in strategic resource allocation decisions. \nThe following topics will be discussed during the conference: \n\nIntroduction to Financial Management – Understanding the role of finance in organizational operations and decision-making.\nUnderstanding Key Financial Statements – A practical guide to interpreting the statement of financial position\, income statement\, and cash flow statement.\nBudgeting and Budgetary Controls – How budgets are prepared\, monitored\, and applied to manage resources effectively.\nCost Management and Cost Behaviour – Key concepts in identifying\, classifying\, and managing costs within different operational settings.\nWorking Capital and Cash Flow Essentials – Appreciating the importance of liquidity\, short-term financing\, and operational cash flow.\nFinancial Ratios and Performance Analysis – How to evaluate financial performance and organizational health using simple analytical tools.\nInternal Controls and Risk Awareness for Non-Finance Staff – Strengthening accountability and safeguarding organizational resources.\nLinking Finance to Strategy and Decision-Making – Understanding how financial insights support long-term planning and strategic initiatives.\nEthics\, Compliance\, and Governance Considerations – Building awareness of ethical responsibilities and compliance requirements influencing financial operations.\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course targets professionals from various fields who need to use financial information regularly in their interactions or organizational planning and decision-making. It will also be of relevance and great value to managers and supervisors in operations\, human resources\, procurement\, administration\, project management\, and corporate services who seek a stronger foundation in the concepts of finance for improving their effectiveness. The program will also be of value to entrepreneurs\, SMEs\, heads of departments\, technical staff seeking an improvement in financial literacy\, and an understanding of budgets\, reports\, and financial performance indicators of organizations. Also targeted are public sector officers\, NGO personnel\, and people moving into positions that have financial responsibilities\, for whom discussions will not only enhance their capacity but also provide them with the ability to support good governance\, accountability\, and proper resource management within their institutions. \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 training. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements.\n\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:THE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1 (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1\nTheme: Strategic Tax Leadership for Compliance\, Efficiency & Sustainable Growth\nDate: 2nd – 6th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nTaxation is a cornerstone of organizational governance\, regulatory compliance\, and strategic decision-making\, influencing virtually every facet of an organization’s operations. Beyond its primary function of generating revenue for governments\, taxation shapes corporate strategy\, guides financial planning\, and informs sustainability initiatives. For modern organizations\, effective tax management is not merely a compliance exercise but a critical element of strategic foresight. The current tax environment is highly dynamic\, with frequent legislative amendments\, increasingly sophisticated enforcement by tax authorities\, the rise of digital tax administration\, and the influence of international tax reforms creating both opportunities and risks. Professionals tasked with navigating these dynamics—be they accountants\, finance managers\, tax practitioners\, or auditors—must possess an in-depth understanding of domestic and international tax regimes\, proactive risk management techniques\, and practical strategies to optimize tax positions while maintaining compliance. \nThe modern tax landscape in Kenya and across the globe presents multifaceted challenges that require comprehensive knowledge and careful navigation. Organizations face complex obligations such as corporate income tax\, VAT\, excise duties\, transfer pricing rules\, digital service taxes\, and emerging environmental or ESG-linked tax initiatives. Simultaneously\, compliance demands adherence to ethical standards\, internal governance protocols\, and transparent reporting practices. Mismanagement of tax obligations can result not only in financial penalties and legal sanctions but also in reputational damage that undermines stakeholder trust. The interconnected nature of taxation with corporate governance and operational decisions means that the roles of tax professionals extend far beyond traditional bookkeeping and filing. They are called upon to anticipate regulatory changes\, interpret nuanced legislative provisions\, advise management on strategic tax matters\, and ensure that organizational tax practices align with broader business objectives and governance frameworks. \nAt the same time\, taxation is increasingly recognized as a strategic instrument for organizational growth and sustainability. Thoughtful tax planning\, aligned with both corporate strategy and environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) objectives\, enables organizations to optimize resources\, leverage incentives\, and mitigate financial and operational risks. Tax professionals are expected to operate as strategic advisors\, moving beyond mere compliance reporting to interpret legislation\, provide guidance on cross-border and digital transactions\, and proactively engage with regulators to manage risk and unlock opportunities. Mastering these competencies requires a blend of technical expertise\, analytical acumen\, ethical judgment\, and strategic insight. Professionals must be capable of assessing complex tax scenarios\, modeling potential outcomes\, and integrating tax considerations into broader corporate decision-making. \nThe Taxation Masterclass is designed to respond to these multifarious demands by equipping participants with practical\, actionable skills and a deep understanding of the evolving tax environment. Through a structured curriculum combining technical instruction\, interactive discussions\, practical exercises\, and real-world case studies\, participants will engage with core topics such as corporate tax planning\, VAT and indirect tax compliance\, personal taxation\, international taxation\, transfer pricing\, tax audits\, dispute resolution\, and emerging trends in digital and ESG-linked taxes. The program emphasizes the integration of technology in tax administration\, highlighting how digital tools—such as e-filing systems\, data analytics platforms\, and automated compliance solutions—can enhance efficiency\, accuracy\, and strategic insight in tax management. By actively engaging with contemporary tax issues\, delegates will develop the confidence and expertise needed to anticipate challenges and implement best practices in their organizations. \nLeadership in taxation demands not only technical proficiency but also the ability to influence corporate decision-making and contribute meaningfully to organizational strategy. This Masterclass positions accountants and tax professionals as strategic partners who can align tax management with corporate objectives\, strengthen compliance\, and add tangible value to their organizations. Participants will learn to design and implement tax strategies that enhance long-term organizational performance\, mitigate risks\, and promote ethical\, transparent\, and accountable governance. By the end of the five-day program\, delegates will be equipped to navigate complex tax matters\, implement strategic tax solutions\, effectively engage with regulators\, and provide guidance that supports sustainable growth\, innovation\, and value creation. \nIn response to the evolving taxation landscape and the increasing strategic role of tax professionals\, ICPAK has organized this Masterclass to provide a robust platform for professional development\, peer exchange\, and practical learning. This program creates an avenue for participants to engage with experts\, explore real-world scenarios\, and apply best practices that are aligned with both domestic and international standards. By the conclusion of the training\, participants will possess the skills\, insights\, and strategic perspective necessary to manage complex tax environments\, optimize organizational tax outcomes\, ensure regulatory compliance\, and strengthen public trust through ethical and effective tax practice. \nDuring the masterclass the following areas will be covered:- \n\nRecent Developments in Tax

SUMMARY:THE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSASB
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE IPSAS ACCRUAL WORKSHOP 2026 with National Treasury and PSAB\nDATE: 16th to 20th February 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVENUE: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha\nTheme: IPSAS Accrual Reporting: Lessons\, Challenges\, and Practical Improvements after the First Year \nOVERVIEW \nOver the past several years\, many public sector entities have undertaken significant public financial management reforms aimed at enhancing transparency\, accountability\, and comparability of financial information. A central pillar of these reforms has been the transition from cash or modified cash accounting frameworks to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on an accrual basis. \nRecently\, a large number of entities have successfully completed their first full year of IPSAS Accrual financial reporting. This milestone represents a major institutional achievement\, reflecting extensive efforts in policy development\, systems configuration\, data migration\, asset verification\, staff training\, and change management. However\, international experience and local practice consistently demonstrate that the first year of accrual reporting is primarily a learning and stabilization phase\, rather than a point of full technical maturity. \nDuring first-year implementation\, preparers often focus on meeting statutory deadlines and achieving basic compliance\, sometimes at the expense of depth\, consistency\, and optimal application of professional judgment. As a result\, first-year IPSAS Accrual financial statements frequently exhibit common challenges\, including: \n\nIncomplete or unreliable opening balances\nInconsistent application of recognition and measurement principles\nWeak linkage between accounting policies and actual transactions\nOver-reliance on transitional exemptions and pragmatic shortcuts\nDisclosure gaps and boilerplate notes that do not fully explain financial position or performance\nRecurrent audit queries and qualifications linked to valuation\, consolidation\, and revenue recognition\n\nFurthermore\, the transition to IPSAS Accrual significantly expands the scope and complexity of financial reporting. Preparers are required to account for assets\, liabilities\, provisions\, non-exchange transactions\, and financial instruments that were previously unrecognized or only partially disclosed. This shift places heavy demands on professional judgment\, interdepartmental coordination\, and the quality of underlying data\, areas that typically remain underdeveloped in the first reporting cycle. \nAt the same time\, expectations from auditors\, oversight institutions\, development partners\, and the public increase sharply after the first year. Stakeholders anticipate not just technical compliance\, but demonstrable improvement in the credibility\, consistency\, and decision-usefulness of financial statements. Preparers are therefore under pressure to move beyond “first-time adoption mode” and begin embedding IPSAS Accrual into routine financial management processes. \nAgainst this backdrop\, there is a clear need for a post–first-year\, practice-focused capacity-building intervention. Rather than reintroducing IPSAS from first principles\, this course is intentionally designed to help preparers: \n\nReflect critically on their first-year reporting experience\nDiagnose recurring weaknesses and root causes\nAddress audit findings and strengthen documentation\nImprove judgments\, estimates\, and disclosures\nBuild confidence for second-year and subsequent reporting cycles\n\nThis course recognizes that high-quality IPSAS Accrual reporting is achieved progressively\, through iterative learning\, peer exchange\, and continuous improvement. By anchoring the training on real challenges encountered in the first year of reporting\, the course supports public sector entities in transitioning from initial compliance to robust\, sustainable\, and value-enhancing accrual-based financial reporting. \nTopics to be covered will include: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nReflections on the First Year of IPSAS Accrual
