SUMMARY:RETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRETIREMENT BENEFITS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE \nDate: 22nd – 24th July 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe retirement benefits industry in Kenya is operating within an increasingly complex and demanding environment. Structural demographic changes\, including increasing longevity and a growing retired population\, are exerting pressure on scheme funding and benefit sustainability. At the same time\, market volatility\, inflation uncertainty and evolving investment landscapes are challenging traditional asset allocation strategies. Trustees and scheme management are required to balance long-term liabilities with short-term liquidity needs while maintaining prudence\, transparency and regulatory compliance. \nIn parallel\, the regulatory and professional expectations placed on pension schemes continue to expand. Actuarial valuations are subject to heightened scrutiny\, funding shortfalls demand credible recovery plans\, and financial reporting must faithfully reflect scheme solvency\, investment performance and member entitlements. Emerging risks\, particularly climate change\, ESG stewardship obligations\, cyber threats and data integrity issues are no longer peripheral considerations but central components of fiduciary duty. \nAgainst this backdrop\, ICPAK has developed this inaugural three-day training designed to move beyond theory and address the most difficult\, practical challenges facing retirement benefit schemes. The programme is structured to equip trustees\, finance teams and service providers with actionable tools to strengthen governance\, improve funding decisions\, align investments with liabilities\, and respond effectively to emerging risks that threaten long-term member outcomes. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\nDAY 1\nThe Role of Accounting in Pension Governance and Fiduciary Oversight \n \n·         Position of the accountant within the retirement benefits ecosystem \n·         How financial information supports trustee decision-making and accountability \n·         Link between accounting\, fiduciary duty and member protection \n·         Regulatory expectations on financial stewardship of pension assets \n·         Common financial reporting weaknesses observed in pension schemes \n \n\n\nAccounting for Pension Liabilities and Actuarial Valuations \n \n·         Relationship between actuarial valuation reports and financial statements \n·         Accounting implications of actuarial assumptions (discount rates\, inflation\, mortality) \n·         Treatment of surpluses and deficits in pension scheme accounts \n·         Sensitivity analysis and disclosure of key actuarial judgments \n·         Impact of funding position on going concern and financial sustainability assessments \n \n\n\nPreparation and Disclosure of Pension Scheme Financial Statements\n·         Application of IAS 26 and relevant IFRS requirements to pension schemes \n·         Accounting for contributions\, benefits payable and benefit payments \n·         Investment income recognition and expense classification \n·         Fair value measurement and disclosure requirements \n·         Related party transactions\, contingencies and subsequent events \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nInvestment Accounting\, Valuation and Performance Reporting\n·         Accounting treatment of listed and unlisted investments \n·         Fair value hierarchy and valuation techniques for pension assets \n·         Property\, private equity and alternative investment accounting \n·         Impairment considerations and income recognition \n·         Reporting investment performance in financial statements and trustee reports \n \n\n\nUnderstanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, trustees\, and auditors \n \n\n\nGeneral Requirements \n \n·         Sources of Guidance \n·         Location of Disclosures \n·         Timing of reporting \n·         Comparative information \n·         Statement of Compliance \n·         Judgments\, uncertainties & errors \n·         Best practices in data collection \n·         Building capacity within the organization \n·         Transition Reliefs\n\n\nDAY 3\nIdentifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments \n·\n\n\nSelecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n \n\n\nGHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis course will be useful to professional accountants and those aspiring the profession. \nFINANCIAL INVESTMENT  \nThe conference  charges are Ksh 10\,000 per delegate for both members and non-members. \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.

The misuse of alcohol\, prescriptions drugs and other substances manifest heavily on corporate balance sheets through chronic absenteeism\, present physical but mentally disengaged (presenteeism). Comprises decision making\, operational safety hazards\, escalating healthcare costs. \nAccountants\, finance experts\, business leaders\, doctors just to name a few often operate in high-pressure ecosystems characterized by demanding workloads\, uncompromising compliance deadlines and significant fiduciary responsibilities.  These make them vulnerable to psychological risks.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Assurance Workshop (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Assurance Workshop\nTheme: The Future of Sustainability Assurance – Enhancing Transparency\, Accountability\, and Trust\nDate: 16th-17th July 2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: On line \nOverview \nAs global expectations for transparency and accountability continue to rise\, organizations are increasingly required to demonstrate credible performance on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) matters. Sustainability assurance has therefore become essential in strengthening stakeholder confidence by enhancing the reliability and quality of sustainability-related disclosures. With the rapid adoption of sustainability reporting frameworks and the alignment of financial and non-financial information\, professionals must deepen their understanding of the evolving assurance landscape. \nThe shift toward standardized sustainability reporting\, especially with the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, alongside established frameworks such as GRI\, SASB and local regulatory requirements\, has created a need for consistent application and interpretation. These frameworks provide the structure for identifying material ESG issues\, defining reporting boundaries and ensuring comparability across organizations and industries. \nClimate-related disclosures have emerged as integral to sustainability reporting. Accordingly\, understanding Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions become increasingly important as an entity measures and reports on its environmental impact. Accurate measurement and disclosure of emissions are increasingly linked to both financial reporting and enterprise risk management-factors that make this an area of significant focus during sustainability assurance engagements. \nHigh-quality ESG assurance requires quality internal controls\, reliable data systems\, and robust verification procedures. Practitioners should keep in mind the special challenges that arise when assessing ESG risks\, testing control environments\, and gathering evidence during limited or reasonable assurance engagements\, which are different from those encountered in traditional financial audits. The effective collection of data\, proper structuring of documentation\, and rigorous processes for verification are very important for credible sustainability reporting to the expectations of regulators and investors and wider stakeholders. \nThe workshop will highlight key aspects of Sustainability Assurance relating to the following: \nOverview of Sustainability Assurance \n\nThe purpose and importance of sustainability assurance.\nThe role of accountants and auditors in verifying ESG information.\nHow sustainability assurance enhances stakeholder confidence and transparency.\nKey drivers pushing organizations toward independent ESG assurance\n\n Regulatory and Reporting Frameworks \n\nGlobal frameworks: GRI\, SASB\, ISSB\, IFRS S1 & S2.\nLocal sustainability reporting requirements and regulations.\nAlignment between global standards and local regulatory expectations.\nEmerging disclosure requirements for climate\, social\, and governance metrics.\n\nGreenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Climate Reporting \n\nUnderstanding Scope 1\, 2\, and 3 emissions.\nRelevance of GHG reporting to financial and sustainability disclosures.\nGHG accounting methodologies and boundary setting (operational vs. organizational).\nTransition risks\, climate scenarios\, and their impact on disclosures.\n\nSustainability Assurance Engagements \n\nUnpacking International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000\nTypes of assurance: limited vs. reasonable.\nKey procedures and differences from traditional financial audits.\nIndependence\, ethical requirements\, and assurance provider qualifications.\nCommon challenges encountered during sustainability assurance engagements.\n\nData Collection\, Verification\, and Reporting \n\nBest practices for ESG data collection and quality control.\nVerification techniques and third-party assurance.\nData governance\, documentation\, and internal record-keeping standards.\nUse of technology and digital tools for ESG data management and reporting.\n\nESG Risk Management and Internal Controls \n\nIntegrating ESG risks into enterprise risk management.\nEnsuring accuracy and reliability of sustainability reporting.\nDesigning internal controls to support ESG data integrity and assurance readiness.\nMonitoring\, evaluation\, and continuous improvement of ESG risk processes.\n\nTarget Audience: \nThe workshop 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. \nNB: This is a hybrid event for physical option click here  \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:INSURANCE AND BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINSURANCE & BANKING SECTOR CONFERENCE\nTheme: Driving Financial Resilience\, Market Adaptation and Reporting Excellence in Kenya’s Financial Services Sector\nDate: 15th -17 July 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOVERVIEW \nThe banking and insurance sectors remain key pillars of Kenya’s economic growth and financial stability. However\, the operating environment continues to evolve rapidly due to changing regulatory requirements\, economic uncertainties\, technological disruption\, increasing customer expectations\, and emerging risks. Financial institutions are therefore required to strengthen their financial reporting frameworks\, enhance risk management practices\, maintain adequate capital levels\, and leverage innovation to remain competitive and resilient. \nThe implementation of major reporting standards such as IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments continues to reshape financial reporting across the sector. While significant progress has been made\, institutions continue to face challenges relating to data quality\, systems integration\, actuarial modelling\, expected credit loss calculations\, and evolving regulatory expectations. At the same time\, boards and management are under increasing pressure to improve governance structures\, strengthen internal controls\, and provide transparent and decision-useful information to stakeholders. \nTechnological innovation is also transforming the financial services landscape. The growth of digital banking\, mobile financial services\, fintech and Insurtech solutions\, artificial intelligence\, and advanced data analytics is creating new opportunities for operational efficiency\, customer engagement\, and financial inclusion. However\, these developments also introduce emerging risks relating to cybersecurity\, data governance\, operational resilience\, and regulatory compliance. \nFurther\, the sector continues to play a critical role in advancing financial inclusion and supporting economic development. Despite the significant progress achieved in expanding access to financial services\, institutions must continue developing innovative products and delivery channels that meet the needs of underserved populations while maintaining sound risk management practices. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Institute has organized the Insurance & Banking Sector Conference 2026 to provide a platform for regulators\, practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, actuaries\, risk professionals\, policy makers\, and industry leaders to discuss emerging developments\, share practical experiences\, and explore strategies for enhancing financial reporting\, institutional resilience\, governance\, innovation\, and sustainable growth within the financial services sector. \n The conference will explore the following thematic areas: \n\nEconomic Outlook\, Regulatory Developments and Sector Resilience\n\n\nEmerging economic and regulatory developments affecting banks and insurers\nPrudential supervision and compliance expectations\nBuilding resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment\n\n\n IFRS 17: Implementation Progress and Emerging Challenges\n\n\nLessons learned from implementation\nContractual Service Margin (CSM)\, actuarial and systems considerations\nFinancial reporting implications and regulatory expectations\n\n\n IFRS 9 and Credit Risk Management\n\n\nExpected Credit Loss (ECL) modelling and impairment challenges\nCredit risk management in a changing economic environment\nEmerging implementation and regulatory developments\n\n\nCapital Adequacy\, Solvency and Reinsurance Strategies\n\n\nCapital adequacy and solvency requirements\nStress testing and capital optimization\nStrategic use of reinsurance for risk mitigation and financial resilience\n\n\nAdvancements in Actuarial Valuation and Risk Modelling\n\n\nEmerging actuarial techniques and innovations\nPredictive modelling and insurance risk assessment\nPractical insights from industry\n\n\nDigital Transformation\, Fintech and Artificial Intelligence\n\n\nAI applications in banking and insurance\nFintech and Insurtech innovations\nData analytics and automation in financial reporting and decision-making\n\n\nCybersecurity\, Data Governance and Operational Resilience\n\n\nEmerging cyber risks and threat management\nData governance and protection requirements\nStrengthening operational resilience and business continuity\n\n\nAnti-Money Laundering Considerations for Banking & Insurance Sectors\n\n\nAnti-Money Laundering and Automatic Exchange of Financial Information updates\nAML Regulatory framework updates\nKenya’s Grey-Listing -Causes and your role in supporting getting Kenya out of Grey Listing\nAML Compliance Challenges-Politically Exposed Persons\, Beneficial Ownership\, Due Diligence\nForeign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) obligations\nCommon Reporting Standards (CRS) Obligation\n\n 9.

DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period\nDate: 14th July 2026\nTime: 4.00-6.00PM\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nIn today’s volatile business environment\, events occurring after the reporting period can have a significant impact on financial reporting. This volatility is driven by economic shocks\, regulatory changes\, shifting tax regimes\, climate-related risks and unexpected operational disruptions. IAS 10 provides the essential framework for identifying\, assessing\, adjusting for and disclosing such events to ensure quality financial reporting. \nIAS 10 safeguards the integrity of financial reporting between the reporting date and the date of authorization for issue. However\, many entities struggle to correctly distinguish between adjusting and non-adjusting events. This often leads to misstatements\, delayed disclosures and ultimately qualified audit opinion. Common challenges arise in areas such as post-year-end litigation\, tax assessments\, restructurings\, going concern uncertainties and major economic developments. This webinar is therefore designed to provide clear\, practical and compliance-focused guidance on the application of IAS 10. \nThe session will focus on how to: \n\nDistinguish between adjusting and non-adjusting events\nDetermine when post-reporting period information requires adjustment\nApply appropriate disclosure requirements for material non-adjusting events\nAssess the impact on the going concern assumption\nNavigate key judgment areas\, including estimates\, litigation and post-year-end transactions\n\nThe webinar will take a practical\, implementation-driven approach. It will address common misclassifications\, disclosure gaps\, regulatory expectations and audit inspection findings. Participants will also briefly examine how IAS 10 interacts with IFRS 18\, IAS 37\, IAS 12\, and IFRS 5. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to apply IAS 10 with confidence and sound professional judgment. This will strengthen the credibility of financial reporting\, reduce post-reporting compliance risk\, ensure users receive transparent\, timely and decision-useful information. \nTarget Audience \nThis webinar is designed for professional accountants involved in financial reporting\, audit\, and assurance functions. \nContinuous Professional Development Units \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nVirtual \n \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 1\,000\n \n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 1\,000\n \n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 1\,000\n \n\n\n\nNote: This is virtual training and therefore training materials\, meals and other related provisions are not required. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events.

SUMMARY:ICPAK Town Hall Deliberation -Post Finance Bill (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nICPAK Town Hall Deliberation -Post Finance Bill\nTheme: From Budget to Service Delivery: Strengthening Fiscal Accountability and Public Value\nDat: 8th July 2026\nTime: 1600hrs – 1800hrs\nVenue: Online /Zoom \nBackground \nThe annual budget process is central to determining how public resources are raised\, allocated and used to meet national development priorities. The Finance Bill\, 2026 was presented as part of the ordinary fiscal and budgetary cycle and proposed amendments to various tax laws\, including income tax\, value added tax\, excise duty\, tax procedures\, miscellaneous fees and levies\, stamp duty and the road maintenance levy framework. Following public participation\, parliamentary scrutiny and approval\, the Bill became the Finance Act\, 2026\, providing the legal framework for implementing revenue measures intended to strengthen collection\, improve compliance\, close loopholes and support Kenya’s 2026/27 budget priorities. \nAlthough the Finance Act primarily focuses on revenue measures\, its significance lies in how the resources mobilized are translated into public value. For citizens\, businesses and policy practitioners\, the critical question is whether budget allocations are implemented efficiently\, transparently and equitably to improve public services\, strengthen livelihoods and support inclusive economic growth. \nThe ICPAK Townhall Deliberation will therefore bring together members of the public\, institutional stakeholders and policy practitioners to review the Finance Act\, 2026\, examine the link between revenue mobilization and budget implementation\, and discuss how fiscal decisions can translate into measurable service delivery outcomes. \n\n Purpose of the Town Hall\n\nThe purpose of the town hall is to provide an open\, informed and participatory platform for stakeholders to deliberate on the Finance Act\, 2026 and the implementation of the national budget. The session will connect policy design with practical service delivery concerns by examining how fiscal measures affect citizens\, businesses\, institutions and public programmes. \n\n Objectives\n\n\nTo provide stakeholders with a clear overview of the Finance Act\, 2026 and its implications for budget implementation.\nTo discuss the relationship between domestic revenue mobilisation\, public expenditure and service delivery outcomes.\nTo identify priority implementation issues affecting citizens\, businesses and policy practitioners.\nTo promote dialogue on accountability\, transparency and public participation in the budget cycle.\nTo generate practical recommendations for strengthening the link between budget allocations\, implementation and service delivery.\n\n\n Key Discussion Areas\n\n\nFinance Bill to Finance Act: Overview of the legislative process\, public participation\, parliamentary approval and Presidential assent.\nRevenue mobilization and tax administration: Key amendments introduced by the Finance Act\, including compliance measures\, digital tax administration\, broadening of the tax base and implications for taxpayers.\nBudget priorities and allocations: Review of how the 2026/27 budget aligns with national development priorities\, fiscal discipline and inclusive growth objectives.\nFrom allocation to implementation: Examination of how approved budgets are translated into programmes\, projects and services at national and local levels.\nService delivery outcomes: Discussion on whether budget implementation is improving access\, quality\, efficiency and equity in public services.\nAccountability and transparency: Mechanisms for monitoring expenditure\, tracking performance and strengthening citizen oversight.\nStakeholder concerns and recommendations: Reflections from policy practitioners\, civil society\, businesses and the public on practical reforms needed to improve fiscal governance.\n\n\n Target Participants\n\nThe town hall will target members of the public\, policy practitioners\, public finance management experts\, civil society organizations\, professional associations\, private sector representatives\, academia\, media\, youth and community representatives\, and officials involved in planning\, budgeting\, revenue administration\, implementation and oversight. \n\n Proposed Format\n\n\nOpening remarks and framing of the town hall theme.\nExpert presentation on the Finance Act\, 2026 and key budget implementation issues.\nPanel discussion with policy practitioners\, public finance experts and stakeholder representatives.\nModerated plenary session for questions\, comments and proposals from participants.\nSynthesis of key messages\, recommendations and agreed follow-up actions.\n\n\n Expected Outcomes\n\n\nImproved stakeholder understanding of the Finance Act\, 2026 and its implications for the 2026/27 budget.\nClearer appreciation of the connection between revenue measures\, budget execution and service delivery.\nDocumented stakeholder views on priority fiscal\, implementation and service delivery concerns.\nPractical recommendations to strengthen transparency\, accountability and responsiveness in budget implementation.\nEnhanced public participation and dialogue between citizens\, policy practitioners and institutions responsible for fiscal governance.\n\n\n Conclusion\n\nThe transition from budget formulation to service delivery requires more than legal and fiscal approval. It depends on effective implementation\, accountable institutions\, informed citizens and continuous stakeholder engagement. The proposed town hall will provide a timely platform to review the Finance Act\, 2026\, assess budget implementation priorities and generate practical proposals for ensuring that public resources deliver tangible and measurable benefits to citizens.

SUMMARY:IFRS 18-Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 18- Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\nDate: 7th July 2025\nTime: 4:00pm – 6:00pm\nMode of Delivery: Virtual \nOverview \nAs the IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements marks one of the most significant structural shifts in global financial reporting since the inception of IFRS. The Standard introduces a more consistent and decision-useful approach to how financial performance is presented\, classified and communicated. By redefining subtotals\, standardizing the classification of operating\, investing and financing activities\, and elevating the role of management-defined performance measures\, IFRS 18 is expected to significantly enhance comparability across entities\, industries and jurisdictions. This reform responds directly to long-standing user concerns regarding the lack of consistency in performance presentation under IAS 1\, and the excessive use of non-GAAP metrics that previously contributed to opacity and inconsistency across reporting landscapes. \nBeyond structural realignment\, IFRS 18 emphasizes clearer disaggregation\, improved linkage between notes and primary statements\, enhanced transparency of performance metrics\, and stronger alignment between management commentary and actual business performance portrayal. The new approach shifts reporting away from broad discretionary presentation towards more standardized\, principle-aligned categorization that reflects how entities generate returns and deploy economic resources. As a result\, subtotals such as operating profit are expected to become more reliable\, analytical comparability will be reinforced\, and perception gaps for investors\, analysts\, regulators and rating agencies will be narrowed. \nThe shift introduced by IFRS 18 is not just technical\, it is strategic. Entities will need to reassess their reporting models\, mapping of income and expenses\, definitions of performance\, investor communication frameworks and disclosure architecture. Internal reporting structures may require alignment with external presentation to ensure credibility and cross‑validation. System updates\, chart‑of‑accounts restructuring\, data model reviews and presentation consistency will be central implementation matters. Preparers\, reviewers\, auditors and governance boards will therefore require a transition mindset that goes beyond compliance interpretation and focuses on impact understanding\, internal readiness and organizational adaptation. \nWith global adoption timelines accelerating and the first effective year commencing 2027\, jurisdictions and reporting entities are encouraged to prepare early to minimize transition friction. Capacity building\, awareness and forward alignment will be critical\, particularly for practitioners who will be expected to interpret\, evaluate\, audit and advise on the new presentation model. It is in response to this transition landscape and in readiness for implementation clarity\, ICPAK is convening this training to equip the profession with forward-looking insights\, technical understanding and preparatory orientation to enable timely\, confident and informed transition into IFRS 18 application. \nTopics to be covered will include: \n\nUnderstanding the IFRS 18 framework and replacement of IAS 1\nStandardized operating\, investing and financing categories\nNew subtotals\, performance metrics and disaggregation expectations\nLinking management performance measures and entity performance narratives\nTransition planning\, disclosure redesign and internal alignment considerations\nPractical implications for preparers\, reviewers\, auditors and governance roles\n\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.

International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 230\, Audit Documentation\, sets out the auditor’s responsibility to prepare audit documentation that provides a sufficient and appropriate record of the basis for the auditor’s report and evidence that the audit was conducted in accordance with ISAs and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. \nHowever\, many audit practitioners particularly early-career auditors and professionals transitioning into audit roles face challenges in applying ISA 230 practically. Common issues include inadequate working papers\, unclear linkages between audit procedures and conclusions\, insufficient evidence\, poor referencing\, and inconsistent use of audit software. As regulatory scrutiny increases globally\, audit firms and institutions must invest in strengthening audit documentation skills to ensure audit quality\, compliance\, and defensibility. \nThis two-day practical course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by equipping participants with hands-on experience in preparing high-quality audit documentation aligned with ISA 230. \nThe following topics will be covered: \n1. Foundations and Core Documentation Requirements\n\nIntroduction to ISA 230: Purpose\, scope\, and key requirements\nPrinciples of effective documentation\nWhat constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit documentation\nStructure and components of a complete audit file\nDocumenting planning and risk assessment\nPractical Exercise: Preparing planning working papers\n\n2. Practical Tools\, Case Studies\, and Review Techniques\n\nDocumenting audit procedures\, evidence\, and conclusions\nRecording professional judgment and significant matters\nCommon deficiencies identified by regulators and how to avoid them\nUse of audit software/tools and standard templates\nPractical Exercise: End-to-end documentation of a sample audit area\nReview and wrap-up: How to build a strong documentation culture\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:  \n\nSupervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\nAudit associates and seniors\n\n\nMid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\n\n\nIndividuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing\nTax Practitioners and Tax Experts\nFinancial Controllers and Credit Managers\n\n\nAccounting and finance professionals involved in assurance\nRisk and compliance officers\n\nYour Financial Investment  \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD Unit  \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured 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 is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \n NITA Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAnti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar\nDATE: 16th June 2026\nTIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nMode: Virtual \nOverview \nAnti-money laundering (AML) requirements for accounting professionals stem from global efforts to prevent the integration of illicit funds into the legitimate economy. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF)\, an international body\, sets standards through its 40 Recommendations\, designating accountants as “gatekeepers” vulnerable to exploitation when providing services such as managing client funds\, forming companies\, handling real estate transactions\, or advising on tax matters. These recommendations emphasize a risk-based approach\, requiring professionals to assess and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks effectively. \nUnder FATF guidelines\, accounting firms must implement customer due diligence (CDD) measures when engaging in specified activities on behalf of clients. This includes verifying client identity\, understanding the nature of the business relationship\, and identifying beneficial owners of legal entities. Enhanced due diligence is required for high-risk clients\, such as politically exposed persons (PEPs) or those from jurisdictions with weak AML controls\, while simplified measures may apply in low-risk scenarios. \nAccounting professionals are obligated to conduct firm-wide risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities based on client types\, services offered\, and geographic factors. Policies\, controls\, and procedures must be documented and regularly updated\, proportionate to the firm’s size and complexity. This includes appointing a compliance officer (often called a Money Laundering Reporting Officer in some jurisdictions) responsible for oversight and ensuring staff receive ongoing training to recognize suspicious activities. \nA core requirement is the monitoring of client transactions and relationships for red flags\, such as unusually large cash movements\, complex structures without economic purpose\, or links to high-risk countries. If suspicion arises\, professionals must file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the relevant financial intelligence unit without tipping off the client\, balancing this with professional ethics and confidentiality obligations. \nRecord-keeping is mandatory\, with firms required to retain identification documents\, transaction records\, and risk assessment evidence for at least five years (or longer in some jurisdictions). This supports audits by supervisory bodies and enables traceability in investigations. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties\, including fines\, license revocation\, or criminal prosecution. \nUltimately\, AML compliance protects the integrity of the accounting profession\, mitigates reputational and legal risks\, and contributes to global financial security. Firms are encouraged to use technology for efficient screening and monitoring while staying abreast of regulatory updates through guidance from bodies like FATF\, CCAB\, or national supervisors. Join us for this webinar to get useful insights on the obligations placed on accounting professionals on matters AML \n Target Audience: \nAll professionals\, especially members in practice.  \nCPD Units:  \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 2 Structured CPD Units. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe Webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Budget Review and Analysis Seminar (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nBudget Review & Analysis Seminar (virtual option)\nDate: 12th June 2026\nTime: 09.00-11.30am\nVenue: Zoom \nOverview \nThe national budget serves as a strategic blueprint outlining the Government’s revenue projections and expenditure plans for the fiscal year\, and remains a critical instrument for economic management\, resource allocation\, and policy prioritization. The FY2025/26 Budget has been formulated against a backdrop of persistent domestic and global economic challenges\, including inflationary pressures\, elevated debt-servicing costs\, and constrained fiscal space\, alongside emerging macroeconomic opportunities. \nThe 2026/27 budget is structured around key economic and social sectors that drive national development\, with allocations reflecting government priorities under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). \nThe National Treasury has proposed Kshs 4.78 trillion budget for FY 2026/27\, equivalent to 23% of GDP. This comprises recurrent expenditure of Kshs. 3\,538.7 billion\, development expenditure of Kshs. 749.0 billion and transfers to county governments of 495.7 Billion. \nAccording to the Budget Policy Statement 2026\, the fiscal deficit including grants is expected to reach Kshs 1\,115.8 billion (5.3% of GDP) in FY 2026/27\, from the projected deficit of KSh 1\,140.7 billion (6.0% of GDP) in FY 2025/26. This will be financed through net external borrowing amounting to KSh 225.5 billion (1.1% of GDP) and net domestic financing of KSh 890.4 billion (4.2% of GDP). \nThe proposed expenditure is distributed across three broad segments of government spending\, with the national government sector (Executive\, Parliament and Judiciary) receiving Kshs 2.817 trillion. Education remains the largest sectoral allocation\, increasing from Kshs. 754.9 billion in 2025/26 to Kshs.  780 billion in 2026/27\, representing a moderate 4%. Infrastructure development\, particularly through the Ministry of Roads and Transport\, follows closely with an allocation of KSh 312 billion. This highlights sustained investment in connectivity and logistics as key enablers of economic growth. \nThe health sector also records a significant expansion\, with the State Department for Medical Services increasing from KSh 105.95 billion in 2025/26 to KSh 132.97 billion in 2026/27\, representing a 25.5% increase. This growth is largely driven by expanded investments in national referral services\, health products and technologies\, and social protection in health. \nRecent economic data indicates that Kenya’s economy expanded by 4.9% year-on-year in Q3 2025\, driven largely by resilience in the agriculture and construction sectors. This growth has been achieved despite significant public debt repayment obligations and ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts. \nNotwithstanding the growth momentum\, the economy continues to face structural challenges\, including underperforming revenue collection\, high public debt levels\, and persistent cost-of-living pressures. Revenue targets have\, in recent years\, fallen short of projections\, while interest payments continue to consume an increasing share of tax revenues—highlighting ongoing public finance management constraints. \nIt is against this evolving economic landscape that ICPAK convenes the Budget Review & Analysis Seminar – Current State of Affairs\, aimed at providing a timely and in-depth analysis of the country’s fiscal position\, budget implementation realities\, and the implications of recent policy and legislative changes on taxation\, public financial management\, and overall economic performance. \nThe seminar will address the following key thematic areas: \n\nMacroeconomic Performance & Outlook: Economic growth\, inflation trends\, employment\, and sectoral performance.\nRevenue Mobilization & Tax Policy Changes: Recent developments in tax policy\, administration\, and compliance strategies.\nFiscal Framework\, Budget highlights and Public Expenditure Priorities: Analysis of budgetary allocations to key sectors\, including education\, health\, infrastructure\, counties\, and social protection.\nPublic Debt Dynamics & Fiscal Sustainability: Trends in debt servicing\, debt-to-GDP ratio\, and emerging fiscal risks.\nBudget Implementation Challenges: Revenue underperformance\, execution bottlenecks\, pending bills\, accountability and governance issues.\nImplications for Professionals & Businesses: Strategic insights for accountants\, tax practitioners\, CFOs\, and financial managers.\nFuture Budget & Policy Outlook: Emerging trends and possible scenarios for FY2026/27 and beyond.\n\nTarget Audience \nAudit and tax practitioners\, Personnel handling tax issues in organizations\, Representatives from KRA\, Taxpayers’ association(s)\, Accountants\, Finance Professionals\, Auditors\, Chief Finance officers\, Academia. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 5 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \n\n\n\nCategory\nPhysical\nVirtual\n\n\nAssociates\n Kes.5\,500.00 – per delegate\nKes. 5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\nMembers\n  Kes.5\,500.00 – per delegate\n Kes. 5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\nNon-members\n  Kes.5\,500.00 per delegate\n Kes.5\,000.00 – per delegate\n\n\n\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 the National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Risk registers development Practical course
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nRisk registers development practical course Webinar\nTheme- Strengthening Governance Through Effective Risk Registers\nDate: 9th June 2026\nTime: 04.pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nRisk registers are a critical component of effective risk management and organizational governance. They provide a structured and proactive method for identifying\, analyzing\, prioritizing\, and monitoring risks that may impede the achievement of strategic and operational objectives. A well-prepared risk register enhances transparency\, facilitates accountability by assigning risk ownership\, and supports the tracking of mitigation actions. This process strengthens decision-making\, promotes robust governance practices\, and fosters a culture of preparedness and resilience. \nAn effective risk register goes beyond recording risks. It should be constructed on a framework that classifies risks into categories\, applies clear assessment criteria such as likelihood and impact\, and links each risk to appropriate mitigation measures and controls. To remain relevant\, the risk register must be dynamic\, evolving with changes in both internal processes and the external environment. Integrating the risk register within an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework ensures alignment with strategic goals\, regulatory compliance\, and institutional accountability. \nIn today’s complex operating environment\, risks are interconnected\, including cybersecurity\, regulatory changes\, ESG requirements\, and reputational factors. Treating risks in isolation can leave organizations exposed to cascading effects. Modern approaches encourage the use of technology-enabled solutions\, such as Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance (GRC) platforms\, which support real-time monitoring\, scenario analysis\, and informed decision-making. \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) finds it necessary to conduct this webinar to equip members with practical insights and skills to utilize risk registers effectively in governance\, oversight\, and decision-making processes. \nThe webinar will cover the following areas; \n\nIntroduction to Risk Registers\n\n\nPurpose\, governance role\, and relevance for boards and management\n\n\nCore Components of a Risk Register\n\n\nRisk description\, categories\, ownership\, controls\, and mitigation strategies\n\n\nRisk Identification Techniques and Stakeholder Engagement\nRisk Classification and Significance\n\n\nStrategic\, operational\, financial\, compliance\, reputational\, and emerging risks\n\n\nEffective Risk Assessment and Prioritization\n\n\nLikelihood\, impact\, velocity\, and interdependencies\n\n\nPractical Walkthrough of a Risk Register from end to end \n\n Target Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \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.

SUMMARY:Overview of IFRS S1 and S2 webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nOverview of IFRS S1 & S2 Webinar\n12th May 2026\nTime: 4.00- 6.00PM\nVenue – Virtual \nOverview \nThe release of IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures represents a transformative shift in corporate reporting and a cornerstone for organizations seeking to integrate sustainability into mainstream financial reporting. Developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)\, these standards provide a systematic and comprehensive framework for identifying\, assessing\, and disclosing sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could affect an entity’s cash flow\, access to finance\, or cost of capital. Well-prepared disclosures enhance transparency\, facilitate accountability\, and provide stakeholders with relevant\, faithful\, comparable\, and verifiable information\, thereby supporting informed decision-making and strengthening investor confidence. \nIFRS S1 establishes overarching principles for sustainability disclosures\, emphasizing four key pillars: governance\, strategy\, risk management\, and metrics & targets. By requiring entities to consider material sustainability matters\, assess reporting boundaries\, and ensure consistency with financial statements\, IFRS S1 enables organizations to present a clear and holistic picture of how sustainability issues influence their performance and long-term value creation. IFRS S2 builds on this foundation by focusing specifically on climate-related risks and opportunities\, including physical and transition risks\, scenario analysis\, climate resilience strategies\, and greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1\, 2\, and 3. Together\, these standards promote integrated thinking\, encouraging organizations to move beyond isolated reporting of ESG issues toward a comprehensive approach that aligns sustainability disclosures with strategic objectives and financial performance. \nCreating and implementing disclosures under IFRS S1 and S2 is central to proactive sustainability reporting. It provides a practical tool for identifying and monitoring emerging risks\, evaluating the organization’s climate exposure\, and aligning mitigation strategies with operational and strategic priorities. By systematically documenting and disclosing material sustainability matters\, organizations are better prepared to anticipate disruptions\, respond to stakeholder expectations\, and allocate resources efficiently. This contributes to enhanced governance\, reduced uncertainty\, and improved resilience\, ultimately increasing the organization’s ability to achieve long-term objectives. \nIt is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to equip participants with skills for understanding\, interpreting\, and applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. The session is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to IFRS Sustainability standards\nIFRS S1 general requirements for sustainability-related financial information\nIFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures – Risk Management\, Metrics and Targets\, Core Disclosure Requirements\nIFRS S2: GHG Emissions – Introduction to GHG Emissions under IFRS S2\, GHG Emission Key Concepts and Terminology\nImplementation Considerations\, Readiness Assessment\, and Assurance Requirements\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Sustainability Practitioners\, Consultants\, Auditors\, Advisors \, Investors and Financial Analysts \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS):\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.

SUMMARY:ISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISA 500-Audit Evidence Webinar\nDate: 28th April 2026\nTime: 4.00-6.00PM\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nIn today’s complex and fast-evolving business environment\, audit practitioners are increasingly challenged by sophisticated transactions\, digital records\, automation\, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. At the heart of audit quality lies one fundamental requirement—the ability to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support a well-founded audit opinion. ISA 500 provides the core framework that guides auditors on what constitutes reliable evidence and how it should be obtained\, evaluated\, and documented. \nISA 500 is the backbone of the entire audit process\, influencing every audit judgment and conclusion. Yet\, in practice\, auditors frequently face challenges relating to the reliability of management information\, the use of external confirmations\, the impact of technology on evidence\, and the risk of over-reliance on weak or insufficient audit documentation. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional audit practitioners with a clear\, practical\, and risk-focused understanding of ISA 500\, emphasizing its application in real-world audit engagements. \nThe session will focus on how to: \n\nDetermine what constitutes sufficient and appropriate audit evidence\nAssess the reliability of evidence from different sources\nApply professional judgment when using information produced by the entity\nEvaluate the consistency and relevance of audit evidence obtained\nAddress limitations in audit evidence and respond appropriately when evidence is contradictory or incomplete\n\nThe webinar will adopt a practical\, application-driven approach\, highlighting common pitfalls\, inspection findings\, and audit failure risks associated with weak evidence. Key areas such as the use of external confirmations\, management representations\, analytical procedures\, and technology-generated evidence will be explored in line with current audit practice expectations. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be better equipped to apply ISA 500 in their day-to-day professional practice. This will enable them to deliver effective and sound audit opinions that are adequately backed by credible\, defensible\, and high-quality audit evidence. \nTarget Audience \nThis training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \nContinuous Professional Development Units \nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFinancial Commitment: \n\n\n\nCategory\nVirtual \n \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 1\,000 per delegate\n\n\n\n\nNote: This is virtual training and therefore training materials\, meals and other related provisions are not required. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:IFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 5-Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations\nDate: 21st April 2026\nTime: 4:00- 6:00PM\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nToday’s business environment is increasingly dynamic\, characterized by frequent restructurings\, divestments\, mergers\, and strategic exits. These developments have significantly increased the occurrence of assets held for sale and discontinued operations\, making their correct accounting more critical than ever. Accurate classification\, measurement\, and presentation under IFRS 5 are essential to safeguarding the credibility of financial statements and ensuring transparent communication to investors and other key stakeholders. \nIFRS 5 provides the authoritative framework for the consistent and transparent accounting of such transactions. However\, its practical application often presents complex judgment areas\, particularly in fast-evolving business situations. This webinar is therefore designed to equip professional accountants with a clear\, practical\, and compliance-focused understanding of IFRS 5. The emphasis is on real-world implementation challenges encountered during asset disposals\, business restructuring\, and strategic repositioning. \nThe session will focus on how to: \n\nDetermine when an asset or disposal group qualifies as “held for sale”\nApply the appropriate measurement requirements at fair value less costs to sell\nIdentify and present discontinued operations accurately\nAssess the impact on profit or loss\, cash flows\, and the statement of financial position\nNavigate complex judgment areas\, including abandoned sales\, reclassification\, and impairment interactions\n\nThe webinar will adopt a practical\, application-driven approach\, highlighting common misclassifications\, disclosure gaps\, and key audit and regulatory expectations. Participants will also gain insight into how IFRS 5 interfaces with other relevant standards\, including IFRS 3\, IAS 36\, IFRS 16\, and IFRS 10. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be better positioned to apply IFRS 5 with confidence and by so doing enhance the quality and transparency of financial reporting. This is envisaged to minimize compliance risk and communicate more effectively on discontinued operations and asset disposals. \nTarget Audience \nThis training is primarily meant for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals although not limited to accountancy practitioners only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \nContinuous Professional Development Units\nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFinancial Commitment: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n \n\n\nAssociate Members\n\nKes. 1\,000\n \n\n\nFull Members\n\nKes. 1\,000\n \n\n\nNon-Member\n\nKes. 1\,000\n \n\n\n\nNote: This is virtual training and therefore training materials\, meals and other related provisions are not required. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events.

SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING) virtual option
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION I (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Enhancing Competence and Excellence in Financial Reporting\nDate: 20th -24th April 2026\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe landscape of financial reporting is evolving at an unprecedented pace\, driven by global regulatory reforms\, rapid technological advancements\, and the growing expectations of stakeholders for transparency\, accuracy\, and timely information. Organizations rely on financial reporting not only to meet compliance requirements but also as a strategic tool that informs decision-making\, resource allocation\, and performance evaluation. In this context\, accountants and finance professionals play a pivotal role in ensuring that financial statements are both reliable and relevant\, reflecting the true financial position and performance of the organization. \nAccurate financial reporting is essential for maintaining trust with investors\, regulators\, lenders\, and other stakeholders. Errors\, omissions\, or misstatements in financial statements can have significant legal\, reputational\, and financial consequences. This makes continuous professional development in financial reporting critical\, particularly for practicing accountants who are required to uphold the highest standards of accuracy and accountability. The Financial Reporting Week offers a structured platform for participants to deepen their understanding of current standards\, explore practical application techniques\, and engage with real-life scenarios that challenge conventional approaches. \nModern financial reporting emphasizes the integration of analytical insights and strategic foresight. Professionals are expected to go beyond recording transactions\, to interpret financial data in ways that support operational and strategic decision-making. The program equips delegates with tools and methodologies that enhance analytical capabilities\, improve reporting accuracy\, and foster a culture of proactive problem-solving. By emphasizing both technical competence and strategic thinking\, participants will be better positioned to add tangible value to their organizations. \nTechnology is reshaping the way financial information is recorded\, processed\, and presented. Automation\, artificial intelligence\, cloud-based platforms\, and data analytics are increasingly integrated into financial reporting processes to enhance efficiency\, reduce errors\, and enable real-time reporting. The training introduces participants to these modern tools\, illustrating how technology can streamline reporting processes\, improve data quality\, and support timely decision-making. Delegates gain insights on adopting technology without compromising compliance or ethical standards\, preparing them for the evolving demands of the profession. \nFinally\, professional ethics\, governance\, and transparency remain at the core of effective financial reporting. Accountants are entrusted with safeguarding the integrity of financial information\, ensuring that reports reflect true and fair views of organizational performance. It is in response to this evolving landscape that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Financial Reporting Week to equip participants with practical skills for preparing\, analyzing\, and presenting financial statements. The training provides a structured exploration of IFRS and IPSAS standards\, integrated and sustainability reporting\, emerging technology in reporting\, and governance and ethical considerations.

SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum-Mental Health (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Mental Health\nTheme- Strengthening Wellbeing\, Resilience\, and Professional Performance Through Mental Health Awareness\nTime: 04pm-06pm\nDate: 15th April 2026\nVenue- Zoom \nOverview: \nMental health has emerged as a central pillar of professional effectiveness\, resilience\, and sustainable performance. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders\, mental health awareness is critical in navigating high-pressure environments\, tight deadlines\, regulatory scrutiny\, and stakeholder expectations. It encompasses the ability to recognize\, understand\, and manage one’s own mental and emotional wellbeing\, while also fostering supportive relationships and healthy work environments. \nA strong foundation in mental health awareness enhances self-care\, stress management\, emotional regulation\, and resilience. Professionals equipped with these skills are better able to maintain focus\, make sound decisions under pressure\, manage work-related stress\, and engage constructively with colleagues\, clients\, and stakeholders. Recognizing early warning signs\, developing coping strategies\, and accessing support are vital competencies that enable individuals and teams to thrive\, even in high-stakes professional contexts. \nOrganizations and professional environments that prioritize mental health see tangible benefits in performance\, collaboration\, and innovation. Teams with mentally healthy work cultures demonstrate higher engagement\, psychological safety\, accountability\, and adaptive capacity. Leaders who model and promote mental wellbeing create environments where individuals feel supported\, empowered\, and motivated to contribute meaningfully. As professional workplaces contend with long hours\, complex client demands\, and remote or hybrid work dynamics\, mental health awareness has become essential for sustainable professional growth and organizational resilience. \nThis Evening Networking Forum offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of mental health while engaging in a physical\, interactive setting.
