SUMMARY:THE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE 2026
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND STRATEGY CONFERENCE\nDate: 9th – 13th March 2026 \nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm \nVenue: Travellers Beach Hotel and Club\, Mombasa\nTheme: Strategic Management Accounting for Value Creation\, Performance Excellence & Sustainable Growth \nOVERVIEW \nManagement accounting has transformed significantly from its traditional role of cost tracking and financial control to a strategic function that supports organizational value creation\, performance excellence\, and long-term sustainability. In an increasingly volatile business environment\, management accountants are now required to provide forward-looking insights\, integrate financial intelligence with strategic planning\, and enhance decision-making through robust analytical tools. This shift reflects the growing recognition of management accounting as a cornerstone of competitive advantage and institutional resilience. \nA strong management accounting framework brings together financial analysis\, risk management\, budgeting\, forecasting\, and performance monitoring into a cohesive system that drives strategic clarity. Through techniques such as scenario analysis\, cost optimization\, and strategic performance measurement\, management accountants help organizations align strategic objectives with daily operations. These functions empower leaders to anticipate emerging risks\, deploy resources efficiently\, and strengthen operational discipline in a way that enhances organizational agility and sustainability. \nOrganizations are also experiencing heightened expectations around accountability\, performance\, and resource stewardship. Management accounting plays an indispensable role in supporting these demands by offering structured tools such as variance analysis\, performance reviews\, and value-for-money assessments. These tools enable institutions to detect inefficiencies\, measure progress against strategic goals\, and ensure that financial decisions are aligned with long-term priorities. In environments where public trust\, governance\, and cost efficiency are critical\, the role of management accountants becomes even more central. \nDigital transformation is reshaping management accounting by introducing advanced tools such as automation\, predictive analytics\, digital dashboards\, and integrated reporting systems. These technologies enable real-time monitoring of performance\, more accurate forecasting\, and deeper insights into organizational dynamics. As organizations adopt these innovations\, management accountants are increasingly stepping into strategic leadership roles—driving transformation\, facilitating data-driven decisions\, and integrating financial and non-financial metrics to create a holistic performance landscape. \nIt is in response to these evolving demands that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Management Accounting & Strategy Conference. This program brings together accountants\, finance managers\, strategy professionals\, auditors\, public-sector leaders\, and governance practitioners to explore modern tools\, strategic frameworks\, and best practices in management accounting. Through expert-led sessions\, case studies\, and interactive discussions\, delegates will gain practical skills to strengthen value creation\, improve decision-making\, support strategy execution\, and enhance organizational performance. \n\nBasic understanding of accounting terminology\, general ledgers\, and charts of accounts\nKey techniques in Management Accounting:\n\n\nMargin analysis\nConstraint analysis\nCapital budgeting\nInventory valuation and product costing\nTrend analysis and forecasting\n\n\nManagerial decision-making using accounting reports and financial statements\, including balance sheet\, income\, and cash flow statements\nAutomation of budgeting process and the related internal controls processes: An overview of key functionalities from various ERPs and IFMIS\nFinancial Analysis: Business health and performance assessment via financial ratio analysis.\nHorizontal and vertical financial analysis: Performance\, profitability\, investment\, capital gearing\, liquidity\, and solvency Ratios\nKey accounting concepts and formulas: Accounting costs\, Expenses\, Revenues\, Profit and Loss (P&L)\, Break-even Analysis (BEA)\, Assets and Liabilities\, Stocks\, Shares\, Bonds\, Earnings\, Dividends\, Shareholder’s Equity.\nKey accounting concepts and formulas: Cash Flow\, Debt\, Debt Collection Period\, Earnings per Share (EPS)\, EBITDA\, Depreciation\, and amortization.\nOverview of the strategic planning process\, milestones\, and key stakeholders\nUnderstanding the 5 key elements of strategic planning:\n\n\nDefining of vision\nCrafting of values\nDetermination of desired outcomes\nDeclaration of explicit accountability\nEstablishment of leading KPIs\n\n\nReview of different strategic planning templates\nIncorporating external factors\, environmental analysis\, and risk assessment to the strategic plan\nDiscission of the most common strategic planning pitfalls\nSustainability considerations during the strategic planning process for organisations during a crisis: The case for or against long term strategic plans\nUsing analytics to monitor performance & strengthening strategic decision-making through data\nSustainability reporting using IFRS S1 & S2– Key metrics for Management Accounting Professionals\nEmbracing technology in Management Accounting:\n\n\nHow AI can be used to support Management accounting beginners and advanced\nApplication of advanced excel in decision making\nEthical considerations in AI use\n\n\nNavigating office politics and developing resilience as professionals\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nManagement accountants\, Chief Finance Officers\, Finance Directors and Managers\, Private and Public Audit Practitioners\, Public Sector Accountants\, Transaction Advisors\, Engagement Partners and Key Audit staff\, Banking\, Financial services sector Accountants\, Internal Auditors\, Tax Practitioners\, Professionals working in Government and private sectors\, Accountants in Academia\, current and potential members of ICPAK\, members of other professional associations. \nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n** Delegates to make their travel and accommodation arrangements \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 CPD Units upon successfully attending all seminar sessions. \nNITA REIMBURSEMENT  \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) The Institute’s registration number is DIT/TRN/47.  Participants who are registered levy contributors should apply to NITA for reimbursement of their fees.
