SUMMARY:INTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CONFERENCE (INPAS)  (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nINTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CONFERENCE (INPAS) \nTheme: Excellence in Financial Reporting for the NPO Sector through Fortified Transparency & Accountability\nDate: 19th-21st August 2026 \nTime: 9:00 am to 03.30pm \nDelivery Mode: Virtual  \nOVERVIEW \nINPAS\, or the International Non-Profit Accounting Standard\, is the world’s first globally applicable accounting standard developed specifically for non-profit organizations (NPOs). Launched in October 2025 by the IFR4NPO Project (now under INPRF)\, it was created through a six-year collaborative effort led by Humentum and CIPFA\, involving stakeholders from dozens of countries. Unlike traditional standards designed for for-profit entities\, INPAS is a standalone\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique realities of charities\, NGOs\, foundations\, and other nonprofits. It streamlines the preparation of annual audited financial statements and grant reports\, addressing long-standing issues like fragmented reporting requirements and the complexities of restricted funding. \nOne of the primary objectives of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in nonprofit finances worldwide. It establishes a consistent foundation for financial reporting that improves the quality and comparability of NPO statements. By providing decision-useful information\, it balances the needs of preparers (reducing administrative burden) with those of donors\, regulators\, and other stakeholders who rely on clear\, reliable data for informed decision-making. This global consistency helps NPOs operating across borders avoid the inefficiency of complying with multiple\, often conflicting national or donor-specific rules. \nINPAS places strong emphasis on the proper recognition and presentation of grants and donations\, distinguishing clearly between restricted and unrestricted funds. It offers detailed guidance on accrual accounting practices suited to nonprofits\, such as when to recognize income from multi-year grants or in-kind contributions. Additionally\, it promotes integrated narrative reporting that goes beyond numbers to cover organizational activities\, governance\, risks\, impact\, and sustainability—reflecting that nonprofit success is measured by mission outcomes as much as financial metrics. \nThe standard was designed to reduce reporting burdens while raising the bar for quality. It includes harmonized grant reporting practices (supported by a dedicated Practice Guide) that allow project-level reports to reconcile easily with whole-of-entity financial statements. This helps minimize duplicative efforts when dealing with multiple funders\, freeing up resources for programmatic work rather than excessive compliance. Many organizations\, especially smaller ones\, stand to benefit from its simplified yet robust structure compared to adapting IFRS or other commercial standards. \nAdoption of INPAS is gaining momentum\, with early adoption encouraged. It is freely available for download from the official INPRF website\, along with implementation guides. As more NPOs and regulators embrace it\, the standard is expected to elevate sector credibility\, attract more funding by building donor confidence\, and foster greater international collaboration in the nonprofit space. \nOverall\, INPAS represents a transformative step for the nonprofit sector\, filling a critical gap that existed for decades. By providing a dedicated\, practical\, and internationally recognized framework\, it empowers organizations to focus more on their missions while maintaining high standards of financial stewardship and accountability. Its development “by the sector\, for the sector” ensures relevance and usability across diverse contexts\, from large international NGOs to local community groups. It is with this in mind that ICPAK has organized the 3 days conference to focus on the following areas: \n\nINPAS Framework & Core Principles\nThe New Regulatory Environment – Updates from PBORA\nFund Accounting & Revenue Recognition– Practical Sessions\nRestricted vs. Unrestricted Funds\nGrants and Donations\nPledges in – kind and Gifts\nExpense Classification & Financial Statements \nGrant Management & Narrative Reporting \nGovernance\, Ethics & Technology in the NPO Sector\nTax Risk Management for the NPO Sector – recent caselaw\, lessons and way forward\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis conference  will be useful to all professional Accountants with specific focus on NGOs. \n CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 20 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the conference. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 40\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 45\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 50\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 15\,000\n\n\n\nCharges will cater stationery\, daytime meals\, learning and giveaway 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.

Strengthening regulatory understanding is essential for ensuring stability\, enhancing transparency and supporting public trust in the financial ecosystem. \nFinancial reporting within the financial services sector has also grown increasingly complex with the expanded application of accounting and sustainability-related reporting standards.

SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Emotional Intelligence\nTheme- Strengthening Emotional Intelligence for Impactful Leadership and Professional Excellence\nDate: 29th July 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue- Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nEmotional Intelligence (EI) has become an essential capability in today’s professional world\, influencing how individuals understand their emotions\, build meaningful relationships\, and make grounded decisions. Unlike IQ\, which measures cognitive ability\, EI combines thinking and feeling to support self-awareness\, emotional regulation\, and authentic decision-making. It enables individuals to manage their reactions\, meet emotional needs\, and navigate situations with clarity and intention. Because EI predicts effectiveness and can be developed over time\, it offers a unique pathway to personal fulfillment and professional success. \nIn modern workplaces\, EI is increasingly recognized as a strategic competency that enhances communication\, strengthens trust\, and enables professionals to respond ethically under pressure. For accountants\, auditors\, finance practitioners\, and business leaders\, EI plays a pivotal role in managing stakeholder expectations\, upholding integrity\, and maintaining composure in high-stakes environments. By identifying emotional triggers and managing emotional hijacking\, professionals cultivate the resilience and sound judgment required in complex and demanding roles. \nA strong grounding in Emotional Intelligence supports self-awareness\, emotional regulation\, empathy\, and social competence skills that enable individuals to manage conflict effectively\, give constructive feedback\, and lead with authenticity. In fields where technical expertise is expected\, EI becomes a key differentiator that enhances ethical behavior\, client care\, decision-making\, and leadership effectiveness. Professionals with high EI are better equipped to adapt to change\, handle stress\, and respond calmly in workplaces characterized by tight deadlines and regulatory scrutiny. \nBeyond the individual level\, EI has become central to building healthy organizational cultures. Teams with strong emotional intelligence demonstrate greater collaboration\, accountability\, innovation\, and psychological safety. Leaders who apply EI foster inclusive environments where people feel respected\, motivated\, and empowered to perform at their best. As organizations confront growing complexity\, diversity\, and evolving work dynamics\, EI has emerged as a critical driver of trust\, agility\, and long-term performance. \nIt is in recognition of this growing importance that ICPAK has organized the Evening Networking Forum. The session provides professionals with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Emotional Intelligence through guided discussions\, real-life scenarios\, and practical exercises. Participants will explore their emotional strengths\, practice empathy-centered communication\, and learn how EI influences leadership\, teamwork\, and conflict management. By blending learning with live networking\, the forum equips attendees to apply EI concepts immediately while strengthening their professional connections and personal growth journeys. \nThe forum is designed to cover the following topics: \nIntroduction to Emotional Intelligence \n\nDefinition\, principles\, and components of Emotional Intelligence\nUnderstanding emotions and responses\nWhy EI matters in modern professional practice\nDifference between EQ and IQ\n\n\nHow emotional intelligence differs from other intelligences\n\n\npractical: Analyze personal emotional triggers\n\nAssessing and Developing Emotional Intelligence \n\nConducting an emotional intelligence test\nBuilding self-awareness and self-motivation\nPracticing self-regulation techniques\nUsing journaling for self-reflection\nCreate an EI development plan\n\nThe EI Mirror: Guided Self-Reflection and Practical Application \n\nStructured emotional self-assessment aligned to workplace dynamics\nIdentifying emotional triggers\, communication styles\, and behavioural blind spots\nPeer-based reflection exercise focusing on empathy and active listening\nGroup debrief synthesizing personal insights and improvement strategies\n\nSocial Competencies and Empathy \n\nDeveloping empathy in workplace interactions\nEnhancing relationship management skills\nBuilding social skills for collaboration\nUsing active listening techniques\n\nEmotional Intelligence and Professional Effectiveness \n\nRole of EI in leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and interpersonal influence\nEnhancing teamwork\, client engagement\, and stakeholder communication\nManaging stress\, feedback\, and conflict in high-pressure environments\n\nApplying Emotional Intelligence at Work \n\nPracticing assertive communication\nApplying work etiquette and professionalism\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Team leaders\, managers\, and supervisors\, Public sector\, private sector\, and NGO professionals\, Entrepreneurs and business owners \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. 2\,000.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:IAS 10-Events After the Reporting Period webinar
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.

SUMMARY:Australia Chapter - ISA-220 - Quality Management for an Audit of Financial Statement
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAustralia Chapter – ISA-220 – Quality Management for an Audit of Financial Statement\nTheme: Audit Quality in a Changing World & Implementation of the ISQM Framework Across Jurisdictions\nDate: 19th June 2026\nVenue: Virtual\nSydney time: 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM\nNairobi time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM \nOverview \nThe auditing profession is experiencing significant transformation driven by evolving stakeholder expectations\, regulatory scrutiny\, technological advancements\, and increasing complexity in business reporting.

SUMMARY:Anti–Money Laundering: Requirements for Accounting Professionals Webinar
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. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT). The Institute’s registration number is DIT/TRN/47. Participants who are registered levy contributors should apply to NITA for reimbursement of their fees.

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.
