In today’s environment\, auditors are expected to go beyond traditional compliance approaches and adopt a strategic\, risk-focused\, and value-driven methodology. The profession is shaped by regulatory reforms\, complex business models\, digitization\, sustainability considerations\, and increasing stakeholder demands for transparency and accountability. \nModern audit practice requires professionals who exercise sound judgment\, uphold ethical standards\, and maintain strong quality management frameworks. Auditors must anticipate emerging risks\, leverage technology and data analytics\, and deliver assurance that supports governance\, organizational resilience\, and informed decision-making.

However\, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs. \nThe introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits. \nThis course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs. \nThe following topics will be covered: \n\nIntroduction to ISA for Less complex entities\n\n\nBackground\nThe rationale for ISA for Less complex entities\nPublic interest overriding consideration\n\n\nDifferences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs\nCore concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities\n\n\nFundamental Concepts\, General Principles and Overarching Requirements\nAudit Evidence and Documentation\nEngagement Quality Management\nAcceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements\nPlanning\nRisk Identification and Assessment\nResponding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement\nConcluding\nForming an Opinion and Reporting\nAudits of Group Financial Statements\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically: \n\nAuditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).\nAudit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.\n\n\nProfessionals involved in the development\, implementation\, and application of auditing standards for SMEs.\n\n\nAccounting and auditing students who aim to specialize in auditing LCEs\nSupervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\nMid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\n\n\nIndividuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 1\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending all sessions. \nONLINE 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 created challenges in comparability and interpretation\, especially for entities with complex or long-term contracts. \nThe introduction of IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers\, effective January 2018\, revolutionized revenue recognition by introducing a single\, principles-based model applicable to all industries. IFRS 15 established a clear five-step framework for recognizing revenue\, ensuring that financial statements reflect the amount and timing of revenue that truly represents the transfer of goods or services to customers. \nFor Kenyan businesses\, correct application of IFRS 15 is critical in promoting trust\, consistency\, and transparency among investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and clients. The standard continues to be the cornerstone for how companies—from construction and telecommunications to financial services and technology—measure and report revenue from customer contracts. As entities integrate digital business models\, performance-based contracts\, and subscription services\, revisiting IFRS 15’s requirements remain crucial for accurate reporting and compliance. \nICPAK has organized this webinar to discuss the following key areas: \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 15\nThe 5-step revenue recognition model\nTypes of contracts and transaction prices\n\n\nComplex Contract Scenarios & Multi-Element Arrangements: Recognition challenges in bundled goods\, services\, and performance obligations.\n\n\nTypes of warranties under IFRS 15\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\n\n\nVariable Consideration & Revenue Estimation Updates: Latest guidance on handling discounts\, rebates\, and contingent payments.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nCPD Units \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kes. 1\,000.

Participants will understand the impact of non-compliance\, audit risks\, and ways of enhancing internal controls in VAT processes. The webinar also aims to foster discussions on topical trends\, including VAT updates that may affect specific industries\, new developments in global best tax practices\, and how technology can be applied in managing VAT. \nThe training will draw together accountants\, auditors\, tax practitioners\, finance managers\, and compliance officers who wish to enhance their professional competencies and ensure full compliance with emerging VAT requirements. The webinar will take participants through expert facilitation\, real-life scenarios\, and practical guidance to adequately equip them with the skills needed to correctly interpret VAT rules\, manage compliance risks\, and ultimately facilitate organizational decision-making.

Launched in October 2025 as the first globally recognized accounting standard specifically designed for non-profit organizations (NPOs)\, INPAS provides a unified\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique characteristics of nonprofits. Unlike traditional standards such as IFRS or national GAAP\, which primarily serve for-profit entities\, INPAS addresses sector-specific challenges including diverse funding sources\, donor restrictions\, and grant reporting. It emerged from the International Financial Reporting for Non-Profit Organisations (IFR4NPO) project\, led by CIPFA and Humentum\, following extensive global consultations over six years involving stakeholders from more than 40 countries. \nINPAS is built upon the foundation of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard\, adapting and extending it to better reflect non-profit realities. It applies to small\, medium\, and large NPOs that use accrual accounting\, offering guidance for preparing whole-of-entity financial statements that meet the needs of a wide range of users\, including donors\, regulators\, and beneficiaries. The standard emphasizes producing transparent\, credible\, and comparable financial reports while reducing inconsistencies that arise when NPOs apply multiple or mismatched frameworks across jurisdictions and funders. \nA core objective of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in non-profit finances worldwide. It tackles long-standing issues such as the recognition and measurement of grants and donations\, the clear distinction and presentation of restricted versus unrestricted funds\, and the integration of meaningful narrative reporting alongside financial data. By providing specific rules for these areas\, INPAS helps ensure that financial statements deliver decision-useful information\, enabling stakeholders to better understand an organization’s resource allocation\, performance\, and compliance with donor intentions. \nThe standard covers comprehensive recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements customized to non-profit activities and funding models. It includes a Practice Guide for harmonized grant reporting\, which aims to streamline compliance across different funders and significantly reduce the administrative burden on NPOs that previously faced duplicative or conflicting reporting demands. This harmonization is expected to improve efficiency\, cut compliance costs\, and foster greater consistency in how financial information is communicated globally. \nINPAS promotes comparability across borders and organizations\, allowing donors\, governments\, and the public to more reliably assess and compare non-profits regardless of location or size. ICPAK has endorsed the use of the standards and early uptake is anticipated to build credibility and support informed decision-making. The standard’s standalone nature means NPOs can apply it independently\, though publicly accountable entities must make appropriate disclosures if choosing INPAS over full IFRS. \nOverall\, INPAS marks the non-profit sector’s alignment with the kind of standardized\, high-quality financial reporting long available to for-profit entities. By establishing a single\, sector-dedicated benchmark\, it seeks to strengthen donor confidence\, facilitate cross-border operations\, and ultimately contribute to more effective and trustworthy non-profit work worldwide. As implementation progresses\, ongoing guidance and resources from the International Non-Profit Reporting Foundation (INPRF) will support the transition for organizations adopting the standard. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on the standard. \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals working in the NPO Sector\, external auditors\, consultants\, academia and other interested professionals. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

Deadlines still loom\, assignments\, laundry etc still pile up\, and people will still need you. And yet\, some seem to cope better than others.  Maybe you have noticed your co-worker stays calm even under intense pressure\, your partner /significant others don’t panic the way you do when your kids act out. It’s easy to wonder what they know that you don’t or what’s wrong with you. The answer? Nothing. It’s likely that these people just have a higher tolerance for stress than you do. \nStress resilience refers to the ability to bounce back faster from stressful moments\, and luckily\, it’s a skill that can be built.  Here’s everything you need to know about stress resilience is\, how to develop the skill over time\, and ways to channel stress in a healthy way.  After all\, stress is inevitable\, but breakdown doesn’t have to be. \nWorkplace stress is a silent but costly issue affecting both employees and organizations\, causing costs to soar in terms of absenteeism and lost productivity. It may seem more people than ever are feeling stressed\, and that perception may reflect the reality that more people\, in fact\, are experiencing higher levels of distress. \nWhat is Stress\, and its impact on us? \nStress has been defined as the subjective state of sensing potentially adverse changes in the environment that signifies potential or actual threat that requires immediate changes in behavior as well as modification of future behaviors. \nWhen you think about the impact of stress on our bodies\, minds and our lives\, lets consider that responses to stress are intended to be adaptive. For instance\, faced with imminent threat to our physical safety\, having higher heart rate allows delivery of more rich oxygen to our bodies and to our muscles more quickly. \nWhat is stress resilience? \nStress resilience is one’s ability to recover from pressure\, setbacks or emotional strain.  Ironically\, you mya not realize how strong yours is until you hit a speed bump.  Think of it as an emotional immune system – just as your body knows how to fight off illnesses\, you mind and nervous system are built to respond to stress.  Resilience is what you to process that stress and keep moving forward. \nNo matter what happens to you\, stress resilience allows you to stay grounded and find your footing again. And from breathwork to movement\, there are many tools to help you build it. \nIt is against this background that ICPAK has organized this evening forum to enlighten professionals on stress triggers and build resilience. \n\nRecognize stress triggers\nCreate “me’ time sessions frequently\nMeditation\nAdopt new routines.\nStay connected and make new friends.\nSee problems through a different lens.\nSeeking help with problems.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nCost: \nThe training will be free of charge. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar 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  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

Accountants uphold transparency\, regulatory compliance\, and ethical conduct\, thereby protecting the public interest and reinforcing trust in financial systems. As business environments become more complex and technology rapidly evolves\, the profession has expanded beyond traditional bookkeeping into areas such as auditing\, taxation\, financial management\, advisory services\, and data analytics firmly positioning accountants as strategic partners in driving organizational success. \nToday\, the profession is undergoing significant transformation due to shifting accounting standards\, regulatory reforms\, and the global push for enhanced sustainability reporting. New standards such as IFRS 17\, IFRS 18\, and Sustainability Reporting S1 & S2 guidelines require professionals to maintain strong technical competence and adaptability within principles-based frameworks. Ethical standards remain at the core of practice\, with IFAC emphasizing integrity\, independence\, and objectivity as non-negotiable values. At the same time\, accountants must navigate an increasingly digital environment where cybersecurity awareness\, data privacy obligations\, and AML/CFT compliance form a critical part of their responsibilities. \nDigital transformation has fundamentally reshaped how accountants work. Tools powered by artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, data analytics\, blockchain\, and cloud-based platforms have automated routine processes and elevated the accountant’s role from transaction recorder to strategic advisor. Modern professionals must be proficient in technologies such as Power BI\, RPA\, and cloud-based ERPs to generate insights\, strengthen internal controls\, enhance forecasting\, and support risk management. These digital capabilities allow accountants to provide deeper business intelligence and contribute to forward-looking decision-making. \nBeyond technical expertise\, the future of the profession also relies heavily on strong communication and interpersonal skills. The ability to present complex financial information clearly\, influence stakeholders\, lead teams\, and support organizational change initiatives is increasingly essential. Accountants who combine technical excellence with leadership\, emotional intelligence\, and strategic thinking stand out in today’s competitive landscape. This evolving environment calls for continuous learning\, ensuring that new entrants and associate members remain adaptable\, informed\, and equipped with future-ready skills that enhance the value and credibility of the finance function. \nKey Topics for Discussion \n\nOverview of the Recent Development in Accounting Standards Affecting the Accounting Profession\nDigital Tools for Accountants – (Data Analytics\, Block Chain\, Cloud Based Audit Tools\, Machine Learning\, Power BI)\nCybersecurity Awareness for Accountant Professionals – (Data protection\, cyber threats and fraud prevention)\nAML & CFT (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing Of Terrorism)\nProfessional Conduct and Regulatory Compliance\n\n\nICPAK Code of ethics for accountants\nHandling ethical dilemmas and maintaining professional integrity\n\n\nThe Power of Public Speaking\nSoft skills – communication\, professional presence\, adaptability\, problem-solving\nTransitioning from Associate to full member: Key steps to assist in the process\nOverview of ICPAK Membership requirements and how to fulfil good standing status\n\nTarget Audience \nThe program is open to ICPAK Associate Members only. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs): \nUpon successful attendance of all sessions\, associate members will earn 10 Structured CPD Hours. \nFinancial Commitment: \nThe mentorship program is free for ICPAK Associate Members. \nOnline Booking: \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the webinar is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking We call on workshop participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com and will close one day before the training session.

Labour market performance remains subdued\, characterised by slow growth in formal employment and a persistent decline in real wages. A significant proportion of newly created jobs continue to emerge within the informal sector—typically low-paying\, unstable\, and with limited social protection—thereby undermining broader economic welfare. \nAt the macro-fiscal level\, tax revenue has consistently fallen short of expectations\, with the World Bank reporting an average tax revenue slippage of 6.1% over the past three years. At the same time\, public debt has risen sharply to approximately 71.9% of GDP\, with the widening fiscal deficit increasingly financed through domestic borrowing. These dynamics collectively place the country at a high risk of debt distress. This indicates that without decisive and sustained fiscal reforms including implementation of the adopted national tax policy\, Kenya is likely to face prolonged budgetary pressures and constrained economic resilience. \nDespite these challenges\, Kenya’s medium-term outlook offers cautious optimism. Projections for 2026 indicate an expected GDP growth rate of 5.3%\, supported by improved performance in agriculture and industry as well as the continued implementation of targeted government interventions. While these forecasts point to some recovery\, it is widely acknowledged that growth prospects beyond 2025 remain tempered by persistent structural weaknesses and ongoing fiscal vulnerabilities. Moreover\, the sustainability of the projected growth trajectory depends heavily on a stable and supportive global economic environment. \nDomestically\, unlocking higher and more inclusive growth will require enhanced policy measures aimed at strengthening governance\, curbing endemic corruption\, addressing the implications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing\, and deepening participation in regional and international trade. Only through such comprehensive reforms can the country translate modest recovery signals into lasting economic resilience. \nSustained economic transformation requires more than short-term growth spurts—it demands deliberate\, long-range strategic interventions that enhance productivity across key sectors. As economies navigate complex global challenges—ranging from shifting. \ngeopolitical dynamics\, technological disruptions\, climate change\, to demographic transitions—productivity has emerged as the defining lever for resilience and competitiveness. \nKenya’s development aspirations\, as outlined in the Vision 2030\, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA)\, and other national frameworks\, place strong emphasis on sectoral revitalization\, industrial upgrading\, digitalization\, and skills development. However\, persistent productivity gaps continue to constrain the pace of growth\, limit value addition\, depress job creation\, and slow structural transformation. \nThe 2026 Economic Symposium offers a unique platform for the public and private sectors\, academia\, development partners\, and industry experts to reflect on the country’s productivity landscape\, diagnose sector-specific bottlenecks\, and co-create pathways for transforming productivity gains into broad-based prosperity. The theme “From Productivity to Prosperity: Re-shaping Key Sectors for a Future-Ready Economy” signals a shift from incremental reforms to bold\, systemic changes that prepare the economy for the future of work\, future markets\, and future technologies. \nAs Kenya positions itself within a rapidly evolving global economy\, boosting productivity across key sectors is no longer optional—it is imperative. The 2026 Economic Symposium provides the platform to reimagine strategies\, harness new opportunities\, and champion sectoral reforms that move the country from productivity to prosperity. Through collaborative action and forward-looking dialogue\, stakeholders can accelerate the transformation toward a resilient\, inclusive\, and future-ready economy. \nThe symposium therefore seeks to deepen understanding\, strengthen collaboration\, and ignite national commitment toward accelerating productivity improvements within critical sectors of the economy. It aims to build consensus on strategic actions necessary to elevate Kenya’s competitiveness\, foster inclusive growth\, and create a sustainable economic base capable of withstanding global volatility. \nThe symposium will be structured around high-impact sectoral and cross-cutting areas such as: \n\n Macroeconomic Trends\, Fiscal Pressures & Labour Market Dynamics\n\n\nUnderstanding Kenya’s subdued labour market: low formal job growth\, real wage erosion\, and informality\nDrivers of revenue underperformance and tax slippage\nPublic debt distress risks and implications for economic stability\n\n\nStrengthening Fiscal Governance & Implementing the National Tax Policy\n\n\nAddressing structural weaknesses in domestic revenue mobilisation\nEnhancing tax administration efficiency and compliance\nFiscal consolidation measures and expenditure rationalisation strategies\n\n\nGovernance\, Anti-Corruption & Compliance Reform Imperatives\n\n\nTackling endemic corruption as a productivity drain\nImplications of Kenya’s FATF grey listing and required national reforms\nGovernance and institutional strengthening as preconditions for sustainable growth\n\n\n Revitalising High-Potential Sectors: Agriculture\, Industry & Services\n\n\nAddressing structural bottlenecks in agriculture and enhancing value-chain competitiveness\nIndustrial upgrading\, MSME strengthening\, and expanding manufacturing output\nProductivity opportunities within tourism\, digital services\, finance\, and logistics\n\n\nDigitalization\, Technology & Innovation as Productivity Accelerators\n\n\nLeveraging AI\, automation\, and digital platforms to improve firm-level and sector-wide productivity\nBuilding robust digital infrastructure and cybersecurity capacity\nSupporting innovation ecosystems and technology adoption among MSMEs\n\n\nHuman Capital Development & Preparing for the Future of Work\n\n\nSkills gaps and workforce readiness amidst technological disruption\nAligning education and training systems with industry needs\nLabour market reforms to boost productivity and enhance job quality\n\n\nBuilding Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Systems\n\n\nTransitioning from low-quality informal employment to higher-value job creation\nGreen growth\, climate-smart interventions\, and resilience-building strategies\nEnhancing social protection and inclusive development mechanisms\n\n\nEnhancing Regional & Global Trade Competitiveness\n\n\nStrengthening participation in regional value chains\nTrade facilitation\, export competitiveness\, and market diversification\nPositioning Kenya within the global economy amidst geopolitical shifts\n\n\nCo-Creating a National Productivity Agenda for 2030 and Beyond\n\n\nAligning Vision 2030\, BETA\, and sectoral strategies for transformative productivity\nPublic–private collaboration in investment\, innovation\, and sector reform\nDesigning long-range productivity frameworks for resilience and prosperity\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis economic symposium is not limited to the accountancy profession only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \n  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. \nDelegates 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. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

It provides the foundational principles and procedures for assurance engagements that do not involve audits or reviews of historical financial information\, making it essential for practitioners seeking to meet evolving stakeholder expectations in an environment of heightened transparency and accountability. \nThe webinar is intended to help members deepen their understanding of the Standard’s core requirements\, including ethical considerations\, quality management\, risk assessment\, evidence gathering\, documentation\, and assurance reporting. As Kenya and the broader global profession move toward expanded assurance especially in sustainability (including IFRS S1 and S2 assurance)\, ESG disclosures\, donor-funded projects\, regulatory compliance engagements\, and assurance over internal processes\, ISAE 3000 (Revised) is increasingly becoming the benchmark for credibility in non-financial assurance work. \nThrough this session\, ICPAK will provide participants with a practitioner-focused exploration of the Standard. The webinar will explain the distinctions between limited and reasonable assurance\, clarify the practical implications of the revised quality management requirements\, and demonstrate how ISAE 3000 (Revised) interacts with subject-matter specific standards such as ISSA 5000 (Greenhouse Gas Statements)\, ISAE 3420 (Assurance on Pro Forma Information)\, and the emerging sustainability assurance frameworks. Case examples will illustrate how the Standard applies in real practice scenarios\, including engagements common in Kenya such as fund accountability statements\, performance audits\, procurement compliance\, and sustainability reporting assurance. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of how to plan\, perform\, and report on an ISAE 3000 (Revised) engagement while maintaining professional skepticism\, complying with ethical requirements\, and ensuring robust documentation. The session will also highlight common pitfalls encountered by practitioners\, including issues related to obtaining suitable criteria\, identifying risks of misstatement in non-financial information\, agreeing the scope of work\, and managing client expectations regarding the level of assurance provided. \nOverall\, this webinar aligns with ICPAK’s commitment to advancing professional excellence and supporting its members as the scope of the assurance profession expands. By strengthening understanding of ISAE 3000 (Revised)\, the Institute will contribute to improved quality\, consistency\, and credibility in Kenya’s non-financial assurance landscape\, positioning members to seize emerging opportunities in sustainability\, governance\, compliance\, and risk assurance. \nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

This revision represents the most substantial overhaul of the Standard since its inception\, incorporating updated principles from full IFRS and addressing the evolving reporting needs of small and medium-sized entities. Because SMEs form a significant share of Kenya’s economic fabric\, supporting more than 40 percent of the country’s GDP and employing the majority of the workforce\, it is essential that professional accountants fully understand the implications of these changes for financial reporting\, audit\, and advisory work. \nThe webinar seeks to enhance members’ technical capacity by providing an in-depth exploration of the key changes in the Third Edition. Participants will be introduced to updates related to revenue recognition\, financial instruments\, the expected credit loss model\, and refinements in measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements. The session will also explain why the IASB undertook the revision\, how the new edition aligns with full IFRS standards\, and what this means for both preparers and auditors serving SME clients. Special attention will be given to Kenya’s unique environment\, including the practical challenges SMPs and SMEs are likely to face as the new Standard comes into effect. \nThrough this event\, ICPAK aims to help members understand not only what has changed\, but why it matters. The webinar will unpack transition requirements and highlight the implications for compliance\, audit work\, documentation\, and quality control. Members will also have the opportunity to engage experts through a dedicated question-and-answer session\, enabling them to clarify technical issues and discuss practical implementation concerns. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants are expected to have strengthened their understanding of the Standard’s conceptual foundations and improved their ability to apply the updated requirements in real-world reporting scenarios. The session will contribute to more consistent\, transparent\, and decision-useful SME financial statements\, thereby promoting public confidence in the profession. It will also support practitioners in navigating audit implications\, advising SME clients on transition\, and identifying opportunities to enhance compliance and reporting quality. \nOverall\, this webinar will reinforce ICPAK’s commitment to strengthening professional competence and contributing to the successful national adoption and implementation of the IFRS for SMEs (Third Edition)\, ensuring that Kenyan accountants remain aligned with global reporting developments and best practice. \n Target Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

ISA 200 presents the basic principles and related responsibilities underlying the auditor’s role when conducting an audit of financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. As the business world becomes more dynamic\, regulated\, and increasingly scrutinized by various stakeholders\, audit quality is of growing interest to practitioners\, audit firms\, and oversight bodies alike. The objective of this webinar is to enhance participants’ understanding of ISA 200 and how it can be practically applied to enhance quality management processes\, which are integral to an effective audit. \nThe session will discuss how ISA 200 establishes the overall objectives of the independent auditor and sets out the essential requirements that underpin the performance of a high-quality audit. Attention will be drawn to the auditor’s responsibilities relating to professional skepticism\, ethical compliance\, risk assessment\, and the application of sound professional judgement. Finally\, the discussion will explore how ISA 200 interfaces with broader quality management standards\, including the role of firm-level systems designed to support consistent performance of quality audits. There will also be practical insights to show how auditors can strengthen documentation\, manage engagement risk\, and ensure compliance in an increasingly complex financial reporting environment. \nBy convening practitioners\, audit managers\, and finance professionals\, the webinar seeks to further equip participants with state-of-the-art perspectives on the maintenance of audit quality and enhancing the reliability of financial statements. The session will also be a platform for sharing emerging challenges encountered in practice and discussing best practices that encourage rigorous\, efficient\, and compliant audit engagements. This webinar has been specifically designed to reinforce the critical role that ISA 200 plays in maintaining public trust and supporting the credibility of the profession. \nTopics to Be Discussed \n\nOverview and Objectives of ISA 200\nResponsibilities of the Auditor under ISA 200\nProfessional Judgement and Professional Skepticism\nEthical Requirements and Independence Considerations\nUnderstanding Audit Risk and Materiality\nLinkage Between ISA 200 and Firm-Level Quality Management Standards\nDocumentation Requirements and Common Gaps in Practice\nEnhancing Audit Quality in Complex and Evolving Reporting Environments\nPractical Challenges and Best Practices for Implementation\n\nTarget Audience \nPrivate and Public Audit Practitioners \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the virtual webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs 1\,000 Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop 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. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

For instance the Kenyan cabinet in March 2024 approved the transition from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting with effect from 1st July 2024. The accrual basis of accounting\, as outlined by IPSAS\, provides a more accurate picture of a government’s financial position and performance by recognizing transactions when they occur\, rather than when cash is received or paid. \nThis move is necessitated by the short-coming of cash basis of accounting with its attendant weaknesses arising from the point of view o financial transparency\, integrity and accountability.  Governments that follow cash basis of accounting tend not to maintain comprehensive and up-to date records of the value of their assets and liabilities. \nThe enabling factors of accrual accounting in the public sector include and is not limited to: growing recognition of the limits of pure cash basis of accounting; the development of accrual based international standards for government fiscal and financial reporting including government Finance statistics manual (GFSM) and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS); the professionalization of the government accounting cadre and resulting introduction of private sector techniques into the public sector and the advent of computerized financial management information system (FMISs) which greatly reduce the transaction costs of collecting and consolidating accrual-based information. While many organizations have adopted IPSAS in principle\, practical challenges remain in compiling\, analyzing\, and reporting accrual-based financial statements. \nThese organizations\, often require hands on training to ensure they can correctly apply IPSAS requirements\, prepare compliant financial statements\, and understand the implications of accrual adjustments and disclosures. This two day practical course is designed to address these gaps by equipping participants with the knowledge and tools needed for accurate IPSAS-compliant reporting. \nThe following topics will be covered: \nFoundations and Practical Application of IPSAS Accrual\n\nOverview of IPSAS and the conceptual framework\nKey differences between cash basis and accrual basis reporting\nRecognition and measurement principles\nPractical sessions on:\n\n\nProperty\, plant\, and equipment (IPSAS 17)\nIntangible assets (IPSAS 31)\n\n\nRevenue from exchange and non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 9 & 23)\n\n\nEmployee benefits (IPSAS 39)\n\nPreparing IPSAS Compliant Financial Statements\n\nAccrual adjustments and closing processes\nPreparing primary financial statements:\n\n\nStatement of Financial Performance\nStatement of Financial Position\n\n\nCash Flow Statement (IPSAS 2)\n\n\nStatement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity\nNotes and disclosures requirements\nConsolidated financial statements (IPSAS 35–38)\n\n\nPractical exercise: Full preparation of an IPSAS-compliant set of financial statements.\nCommon challenges\, best practices\, and implementation strategies\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis webinar will be useful to professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession but more specifically: \n\nPublic sector accountants and finance officers.\nGovernment auditors.\n\n\nPublic finance management professionals.\n\n\nInternal auditors and financial controllers.\nManagers and decision-makers in public institutions who are responsible for financial oversight.\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 18\,500/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the sessions. \nONLINE 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.

It goes beyond a polished resume or social media profile; it encompasses your values\, expertise\, communication style\, and the consistent narrative you project in every interaction. In today’s interconnected world\, where reputations can be built or dismantled rapidly online\, a strong personal brand acts as a compass\, guiding decisions and attracting opportunities aligned with your authentic self. For leaders\, personal branding is not about self-promotion alone but about establishing trust and credibility that inspires others to follow. \nEffective leadership and personal branding are deeply intertwined. A leader’s brand reflects their vision\, integrity\, and ability to deliver results\, serving as a signal to teams\, stakeholders\, and peers. When leaders articulate a clear personal brand—such as being innovative\, empathetic\, or decisive—they create a framework that others can understand and rally behind. This clarity reduces ambiguity in decision-making and fosters alignment within organizations. Without a deliberate brand\, leaders risk being defined by others’ assumptions\, which may not accurately represent their strengths or intentions. \nAuthenticity is the cornerstone of sustainable personal branding in leadership. Audiences quickly detect inauthenticity\, leading to eroded trust. Great leaders build their brands around genuine strengths and values rather than fabricating an idealized image. For instance\, vulnerability in admitting mistakes or sharing personal growth stories can humanize a leader\, making them more relatable and approachable. This authentic approach not only strengthens the leader’s brand but also models behaviour that encourages openness and resilience in their teams. \nConsistency amplifies the impact of a personal brand. Leaders must ensure their actions\, words\, and online presence align across contexts—whether in boardrooms\, public speeches\, or casual conversations. Inconsistencies\, such as preaching collaboration while hoarding information\, undermine credibility faster than any external criticism. Over time\, consistent reinforcement of core messages—through storytelling\, visual identity\, and repeated behaviours—solidifies the brand in others’ minds\, turning perception into a reliable asset. \nPersonal branding also empowers leaders to navigate challenges and transitions. In times of crisis\, a well-established brand built on transparency and competence provides a buffer of goodwill. Similarly\, when pursuing new roles or expanding influence\, a strong brand precedes the leader\, opening doors through referrals and recognition. Leaders who invest in their brand proactively position themselves as thought leaders\, attracting talent\, partnerships\, and opportunities that align with their goals. \nUltimately\, personal branding in leadership is a strategic tool for amplifying impact. It transforms individual reputation into a force that elevates teams\, organizations\, and industries. By thoughtfully crafting and maintaining their brand\, leaders not only advance their own careers but also inspire others to develop their unique voices. In an era where influence often stems from perception as much as performance\, mastering personal branding remains a critical leadership competency. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on how to build your strong personal brand in a leadership space. \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals from different spheres \nCPD Units: \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 2 Structured CPD Units. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe Webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

Their operations rely heavily on funding from donors\, grants\, and other resources that require careful stewardship. Accurate\, comprehensive\, and transparent financial reporting is central to sustaining stakeholder confidence\, demonstrating accountability\, and ensuring compliance with statutory and donor requirements. However\, NPOs often face challenges in financial reporting due to multiple funding sources\, restricted and unrestricted funds\, donor-specific requirements\, and sector-specific accounting standards. \nThe International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents one of the most significant modern developments in global financial reporting for the not-for-profit sector. As NPOs continue to play critical roles in advancing social\, economic and human-development agendas\, the need for consistent\, comparable\, transparent and decision-useful reporting has become more urgent. INPAS is intended to provide a globally coherent framework that enables non-profits to communicate performance\, stewardship\, accountability and impact using standardized accounting and disclosure principles. Its introduction seeks to resolve long-standing inconsistencies\, especially where NPOs rely on improvised internal policies or apply for-profit standards that do not appropriately reflect mission-centric activities\, donor restrictions\, program delivery dynamics and resource deployment structures. \nINPAS is not only a harmonization exercise; it provides clarity in key reporting areas such as recognition of resource inflows\, the accounting treatment of donor-imposed conditions\, attribution of expenditure to program portfolios\, measurement of performance\, narrative reporting and fund accountability. Unlike general-purpose accounting standards that were not written for the non-profit domain\, INPAS responds directly to unique sector characteristics such as restricted funding\, grant commitments\, volunteer contributions\, social-value outcomes and multi-stakeholder assurance needs. Non-profit reporting is therefore expected to transition away from inconsistent classification practices\, unverifiable impact statements and fragmented accounting treatments that currently limit comparability and weaken sector confidence. \nGlobal conversations around impact measurement\, trust restoration\, funding transparency\, donor confidence and public accountability continue to intensify. Development partners\, auditors\, regulators\, philanthropies and funding institutions are increasingly demanding standard-consistent reporting that demonstrates responsible resource use\, clear alignment between programs and expenditure\, and enhanced traceability of outcomes. INPAS responds to this shift by aligning reporting with global accountability expectations\, improving comparability\, elevating the quality of disclosures and strengthening intelligence for resource allocation decisions. \nWith rising societal expectations\, governance reforms\, anti-corruption agendas and ESG-linked donor priorities\, non-profit reporting can no longer be confined to traditional financial statements. The sector’s trust proposition depends on visibility into how funds translate into services and how actions generate real change. INPAS will therefore influence how NPOs record\, classify\, measure\, present and narrate the way value is created and delivered. This transition\, from narrow financial reporting to integrated program-performance reporting\, is highly strategic: reporting becomes a driver of confidence\, not merely a compliance exercise. \nIt is in response to this evolving context\, and ahead of INPAS implementation\, that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is convening this training to equip preparers\, reviewers and professionals with practical skills\, contextual understanding and transition readiness\, so that by the time formal adoption arrives\, the sector will be informed\, empowered and aligned for confident implementation. \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics: \nThe course is designed to cover the following topics:\n1.

The International Financial Reporting Standards remain at the core of promoting high-quality financial reporting\, and professionals must remain updated on new standards\, amendments and challenges in implementation. The virtual symposium is therefore structured to attain current comprehensions of IFRS requirements that would ensure that participants maintain competence in an environment in which accuracy and compliance are not open to negotiation. \nIFRS has been subject to significant updates lately\, including new guidance on financial instruments\, revenue\, leases\, sustainability disclosures and insurance contracts. In fact\, the updated standards have far-reaching implications on recognition\, measurement\, presentation and disclosure. The symposium will provide practical insights into how to navigate these complex standards\, emerging issues associated with fair value measurement\, impairment assessments and financial risk disclosures\, along with integration of sustainability information under IFRS S1 & S2. \nThe increasing demands of the profession go hand in hand with expectations for professional judgment to be exercised and consistency to be maintained in financial reporting\, amidst the ever-evolving business models and sophisticated transactions. The symposium will emphasize challenges encountered when applying principles-based standards so that participants can feel confident about interpreting the requirements of IFRS in different industries and financial environments. Focus will be on practical applications\, case studies\, and common pitfalls observed in practice. \nBringing technical experts and practitioners together in this virtual symposium provides an avenue for deepening understanding\, discussing experiences regarding implementation and enhancing the capacity of finance and accounting professionals. It reiterates the commitment to high-quality reporting and equips participants with practical tools that will help enhance compliance with standards\, improve stakeholder communication and maintain the integrity of financial information\, as part of global best practices. \nTopics \nIFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information \n\nPurpose and objectives of IFRS S1\nRelationship with other sustainability reporting frameworks – GRI & TCFD\nDisclosure Requirements – Governance\, Strategy\, Risk management\, Metrics & Targets\n\nIFRS S2 – Climate Related Disclosures \n\nPurpose and scope of IFRS S2\nBoard oversight of climate-related issues\nManagement’s role in assessing and managing climate risks\nIdentifying climate-related risks and opportunities\nImpacts on business model\, strategy\, and financial planning\n\nGHG Emissions (Metrics & Tragets) \n\nIntroduction to GHG Emissions\nOverview of the GHG Protocol (Scope 1\, 2 & 3 emissions)\nManaging Climate Risks and Reducing Emissions\nClimate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions\nSteps to create a transition plan\n\nThe Sustainability Reporting Cycle \n\nAllocating responsibility for sustainability reporting\nEstablishing the reporting landscape\nDetermining the material sustainability related information to be reported\nDetermining the data requirements\nCollecting the data\nReporting on the data collected\nImplementing reporting\n\nIFRS 9: Financial Instruments \n\nClassification and Measurement: Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities\nImpairment: IFRS 9 introduced a forward-looking Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model.\nHedge Accounting\nDerecognition\n\n IFRS 7: Financial Instruments Disclosures \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 7\nCategories of financial instruments\nDisclosure Requirements for Financial Risks\nStatement of Financial Position\nDisclosure for Impairment of Financial Instruments\nDisclosure for Liquidity Risk\nMarket Risk Disclosures\n\nIFRS 16: Leases \n\nOverview of IFRS 16\nLease term determination and reassessment considerations\nRecognition and measurement of right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities\nLease modifications: Accounting treatment from both lessee and lessor perspectives\nPresentation and disclosure requirements in the financial statements\n\nIFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 15\nScope and recognition\nMeasurement of revenue\nContract costs\nPresentation and disclosure\n\nIFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements \n\nIncome statement structure\nManagement-defined performance measures\nAggregation and disaggregation\nOther changes for the financial statements\nInterim financial reporting\nEffective date and transition\n\nThe Conference will be beneficial to all accounting and finance professionals\, auditors\, financial analysts\, and corporate management\, particularly those involved in financial reporting\, sustainability reporting\, and regulatory compliance within organizations.  \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline 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. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

It defines how entities should account for their interest in arrangements where two or more parties jointly control the arrangement. Joint control is defined as the contractually agreed sharing of control. A binding contractual arrangement that results in two or more of parties having joint control over the investee’s relevant activities gives rise to a joint arrangement\, and this is subsequently classified into one of two classifications\, being either: – A joint operation\, or– A joint venture. IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements into two types: joint operations and joint ventures. \nA joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the joint controlling parties (‘joint operators’) have rights to the assets\, and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. \nA joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby joint controlling parties (joint venturers’) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. \nDuring this training we will seek to understand the standard and the requirements \nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

Meetings serve as essential platforms for communication\, collaboration\, and strategic alignment.

By observing proper meeting etiquette\, professionals can ensure that meetings are purposeful\, inclusive\, and productive. \nMeeting etiquette includes practices such as setting clear agendas\, starting and ending on time\, active listening\, minimizing interruptions\, respectful dialogue\, and following through on action items. These standards create an environment where participants feel valued\, discussions stay focused\, and decisions are made efficiently. In virtual or hybrid settings\, etiquette becomes even more important to maintain professionalism and engagement. \nComplementing meeting etiquette is the ability to delegate tasks effectively\, a key leadership function that empowers teams and drives productivity. Effective delegation involves identifying suitable tasks to assign\, choosing the right individuals based on competencies\, communicating expectations clearly\, and providing support and feedback. It enables leaders to focus on strategic priorities\, while building capacity and accountability within their teams. \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) invites you to this virtual webinar as it aims to enhance participants’ professional communication\, organizational leadership\, and team management capabilities. This training will provide practical insights and tools to improve how meetings are conducted and how responsibilities are shared for optimal performance.
