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.

SUMMARY:ICPAK Americas Chapter -Digital Assets: Key Accounting and Regulatory Compliance Considerations Webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nICPAK Americas Chapter \nTopic: Digital Assets: Key Accounting and Regulatory Compliance Considerations\nDate: 31st August  2026\nTime: 6pm to 8pm EAT\nCharges: USD 25\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nDigital assets have become an increasingly influential part of the global financial system\, transforming how businesses create\, exchange\, and store value. This category includes cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin\, fiat-backed stablecoins like USDC\, tokenized assets\, and other blockchain-enabled instruments that may operate independently or derive value from underlying financial or physical assets. The rapid growth of the digital asset market\, combined with expanding participation from financial institutions\, investors\, custodians\, and trading platforms\, has created increased demand for stronger accounting standards and regulatory oversight. Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide continue to develop frameworks that promote innovation while safeguarding consumer interests\, maintaining financial stability\, and strengthening market transparency. \nOne of the most significant challenges surrounding digital assets lies in determining their accounting treatment and financial reporting requirements. Existing standards under US GAAP and IFRS do not provide comprehensive guidance dedicated specifically to digital assets\, requiring organizations to interpret and apply existing frameworks based on the characteristics of each asset. Native digital assets\, such as cryptocurrencies\, are commonly classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets because they do not meet the definitions of cash\, inventory\, or financial instruments. In contrast\, asset-referencing digital assets\, including redeemable stable coins\, may qualify as financial instruments depending on their contractual rights and redemption mechanisms. These classifications influence how digital assets are recognized\, measured\, and presented in financial statements\, resulting in varying accounting outcomes across entities and jurisdictions. \nValuation and subsequent measurement remain equally complex due to the volatility and evolving nature of digital asset markets. Under traditional US GAAP treatment\, digital assets measured as intangible assets are recorded at cost and subject to impairment\, meaning declines in value are recognized while increases cannot be recorded until disposal. This limitation may fail to reflect the true economic value of holdings\, particularly for entities actively trading or using derivatives to manage risk. IFRS offers greater flexibility in certain circumstances by permitting inventory treatment for actively traded assets or applying revaluation approaches when active markets exist. Additional considerations include determining balance sheet classification\, establishing ownership and control in custodial arrangements\, selecting costing methodologies such as FIFO or LIFO\, and complying with disclosure requirements such as those introduced through SEC guidance on safeguarding crypto assets. \nThis webinar will cover the following topics: \n\nUnderstanding Digital Assets and Their Growing Role in Modern Financial Systems\nAccounting Treatment of Digital Assets under US GAAP and IFRS\nValuation\, Fair Value Measurement\, and Financial Reporting Challenges\nRegulatory Compliance and Governance Considerations for Digital Assets\n\n Target Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professionals Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nCPD Units: \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 2 Structured CPD Units. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe Webinar charges are USD 25 \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. \nFor more information or enquiries  email to diaspora@icpak.com

SUMMARY:Effective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEffective Whistleblowing policies and practices webinar\nDate:  1st September 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nOrganizations today operate in an environment where accountability\, transparency\, and ethical leadership are increasingly demanded by regulators\, investors\, employees\, and the public. As fraud\, corruption\, harassment\, and other forms of misconduct continue to threaten institutional credibility and sustainability\, whistleblowing has emerged as a critical governance tool for early detection and timely intervention. However\, the effectiveness of whistleblowing largely depends on whether organizations have well-designed frameworks that encourage reporting and ensure that concerns are handled professionally and fairly. \nA strong whistleblowing policy provides a structured foundation for reporting unethical practices and misconduct while defining clear responsibilities for management\, audit committees\, compliance officers and internal audit functions. It establishes the scope of reportable issues\, sets out reporting procedures and creates accountability mechanisms that ensure disclosures are treated seriously. Without such a policy\, organizations risk inconsistent handling of cases\, loss of trust\, and increased exposure to reputational and financial damage. \nFor whistleblowing systems to work\, organizations must provide secure reporting channels and guarantee confidentiality to protect whistleblowers from exposure. Equally important is the establishment of safeguards against retaliation\, as fear of victimization remains one of the biggest barriers to reporting. By reinforcing protection measures and ensuring impartial investigations and proper case handling procedures\, institutions strengthen internal control systems and create confidence that wrongdoing will be addressed without bias or intimidation. \nDelegates will gain a comprehensive understanding of employer responsibilities\, the protections available to whistleblowers\, and the essential steps required to strengthen whistleblowing and speak-up policies. Participants will be equipped with practical insights on designing secure reporting frameworks\, ensuring confidentiality safeguards\, managing retaliation risks\, and enhancing investigation and case-handling procedures to build a credible and effective whistleblowing system. \n\nIntroduction to whistleblowing and the Legal Framework\nEstablishing Secure Reporting Channels and Confidentiality – Anonymous reporting mechanisms\, Confidentiality safeguards and data protection\, Third-party reporting systems and independence\nWhistleblower Protection and Managing Retaliation – \nInvestigations and Case Handling Procedures\nFostering a Supportive Culture –Building openness and transparency\, Characteristics of a supportive environment for whistleblowers\, Effective communication strategies\, Internal and external support resources\nBuilding a Speak-Up Culture and Ethical Leadership\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis workshop will be useful to all Professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the Profession\, Data and Business Analysts\, Governance\, Risk\, and Compliance (GRC) Officer\, Auditors\, Advisors\, Investors and Financial Analysts \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.

SUMMARY:Transition to IPSAS Accrual course 2026 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTransition to IPSAS Accrual course\nTheme: Transition to IPSAS Accrual: Practical Guidance for Successful Implementation\nDate: 3rd -4th September 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nAcross the globe\, governments are increasingly transitioning from cash-based and modified cash accounting frameworks to accrual-based financial reporting aligned with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This shift is widely recognized as a cornerstone of modern public financial management (PFM) reform\, enabling governments to produce more transparent\, comprehensive\, and decision-useful financial information. \nIn Kenya and many other jurisdictions\, the transition to IPSAS Accrual represents a major transformation in the way public sector entities recognize\, measure\, and report financial transactions. Under the accrual framework\, entities must record not only cash movements but also assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, expenses\, and commitments\, thereby providing a more complete picture of financial performance and financial position. \nHowever\, transitioning to IPSAS Accrual is a complex institutional reform that goes far beyond technical accounting changes. It requires significant adjustments in policies\, systems\, processes\, data management\, asset registers\, staff capacity\, and governance frameworks. Public sector entities must undertake detailed preparatory work\, including identifying assets and liabilities\, developing opening balances\, aligning financial management systems such as IFMIS\, and strengthening internal controls and documentation practices. \nInternational experience demonstrates that entities often encounter significant challenges during the transition phase. These may include: \n\nDifficulties in compiling reliable opening balances\nLimited asset registers and incomplete asset verification\nLack of historical valuation data\nWeak integration between accounting policies and operational processes\nLimited familiarity with key IPSAS standards such as PPE\, revenue from non-exchange transactions\, provisions\, leases\, and financial instruments\nSystem limitations in capturing accrual-based transactions\nCapacity gaps among preparers and financial managers\n\nWithout adequate preparation\, these challenges can result in delays\, inconsistencies\, and significant audit issues during the first accrual reporting cycle. \nThis workshop is therefore designed as a practical capacity-building program to support entities preparing for the transition to IPSAS Accrual. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical aspects of IPSAS\, the training emphasizes practical implementation strategies\, transition planning\, opening balance preparation\, and system readiness. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of: \n\nThe IPSAS Accrual transition roadmap\nKey technical standards affecting transition\nPractical steps for preparing opening balances\nAsset identification and valuation processes\nSystem and data requirements for accrual reporting\nInstitutional arrangements needed to support successful implementation\n\nBy the end of the training\, participants will be better equipped to plan\, manage\, and execute the transition to IPSAS Accrual\, thereby strengthening the credibility\, transparency\, and usefulness of public sector financial reporting. \nTopics to be Covered \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\nDay 1\nIntroduction to IPSAS Accrual and the Transition Framework\nUnderstanding the shift from cash-based to accrual-based public sector accounting\n·         Global trends in public sector financial reporting reforms \n·         Rationale for adopting IPSAS Accrual \n·          Key differences between cash\, modified cash\, and accrual accounting \n·         Benefits of accrual accounting for transparency and accountability\n\n\n  \n  \n \nPlanning and Managing the IPSAS Transition\nDeveloping a structured roadmap for successful implementation\n·         Developing an IPSAS transition strategy \n·          Institutional governance and leadership roles \n·          Roles of finance teams\, management\, auditors\, and oversight bodies \n·          Change management and stakeholder coordination \n·          Risk management during transition\n\n\n\nPreparation of Opening Balances\nEstablishing reliable opening balances under IPSAS Accrual\n·          Importance of opening balances in IPSAS transition \n·         Identification and recognition of assets and liabilities \n·         Use of transitional provisions and exemptions \n·          Documentation and supporting evidence for audit purposes \n·          Common challenges in opening balance preparation\n\n\nDay 2\nAsset Recognition and Measurement under IPSAS\nAccounting for public sector assets during transition\n·         Property\, Plant and Equipment (IPSAS 45) \n·          Intangible Assets (IPSAS 31) \n·          Heritage and infrastructure assets \n·          Asset verification and asset register development \n·          Valuation challenges and practical approaches\n\n\n\nRevenue\, Liabilities and Key Accounting Areas\nRecognition and measurement of major transactions under accrual accounting\n·         Revenue from non-exchange transactions (IPSAS 47) \n·          Grants\, transfers\, and donor-funded projects \n·          Provisions and contingent liabilities (IPSAS 19) \n·         Recognition of receivables and payables \n·         Commitments and obligations\n\n\n\nSystems Readiness and Preparing IPSAS Accrual Financial Statements\nStrengthening systems and preparing the first accrual financial statements\n·         Aligning financial management systems (IFMIS) to IPSAS Accrual \n·         Chart of Accounts and data requirements \n·          Structure of IPSAS financial statements \n·          Disclosure requirements and supporting schedules \n·         Common transition pitfalls and practical solutions\n\n\n\n Target Audience \n The course to all professionals in all spheres. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the course. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:THE FINANCIAL REPORTING WEEK 2026 EDITION 2 (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 2 (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: “Enhancing Transparency\, Sustainability\, and Accountability through High Quality Financial Reporting\nDate: 7th -11th September  2026\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nFinancial reporting remains a critical pillar for transparency\, accountability\, governance\, and informed decision making within organizations\, capital markets\, and the broader economy. High quality financial reporting enhances stakeholder confidence\, supports effective stewardship of resources\, strengthens investor trust\, and promotes sound organizational and economic decision making. As the business and regulatory environment continues to evolve\, the demand for reliable\, relevant\, and decision-making useful financial information has become increasingly important. \nRecent developments in financial reporting\, including new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) such as IFRS 18\, together with the growing adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2)\, are reshaping the reporting landscape globally. In addition\, increasing stakeholder expectations around environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) disclosures continue to expand the scope of corporate reporting beyond traditional financial statements. \nAt the same time\, technological advancements in automation\, artificial intelligence\, data analytics\, and digital reporting tools are transforming how financial information is prepared\, analyzed\, presented\, and communicated. These developments require finance professionals to continuously strengthen their technical competence\, exercise sound professional judgment\, and embrace innovative approaches to reporting and disclosure. \nDespite notable progress in reporting practices\, organizations continue to experience challenges in the application of key reporting standards and disclosure requirements\, particularly in areas such as revenue recognition\, financial instruments\, leases\, consolidation\, taxation\, employee benefits\, and sustainability related reporting. Insights from regulatory reviews and the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards 2025 continue to highlight both significant improvements and recurring gaps in compliance\, disclosure quality\, transparency\, consistency\, and application of standards. \nThe evolving role of accountants and finance professionals now extends beyond compliance focused reporting to include broader responsibilities in governance\, sustainability reporting\, business reporting\, performance analysis\, stakeholder communication\, and strategic decision support. This transformation requires professionals to remain responsive to emerging reporting developments while maintaining integrity\, accountability\, and public trust. \nIn response to these evolving demands\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized the Annual Financial Reporting Conference to provide a comprehensive platform for finance professionals to strengthen technical expertise\, gain practical insights into emerging reporting developments\, and enhance the quality and integrity of financial reporting practices. \nThe conference will bring together standard setters\, regulators\, industry experts\, preparers of financial statements\, auditors\, and finance practitioners to facilitate technical learning\, peer engagement\, practical discussions\, and knowledge sharing aimed at advancing transparency\, sustainability\, accountability\, and best practice in financial reporting. \nKey topics to be covered \n\n The Evolving Landscape of Financial Reporting\n\n\nGlobal developments in financial reporting and IFRS updates\nIFRS 18 and emerging presentation and disclosure requirements\nAligning financial reporting with stakeholder expectations\nStrengthening trust through transparency and accountability\n\n\n Sustainability and Climate Related Reporting\n\n\nIFRS S1 and IFRS S2 implementation considerations\nClimate related disclosures and scenario analysis\nIntegrating ESG into financial and strategic reporting processes\nPractical challenges and emerging best practices\n\n\n Sustainability and Industry Based Reporting Frameworks\n\n\nIndustry specific sustainability disclosure approaches\nPractical application of sustainability reporting frameworks\nSustainability metrics and disclosure expectations\nEnhancing comparability and consistency in reporting\n\n\n IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements\n\n\nGeneral presentation requirements\nCategorization in profit or loss\nManagement defined performance measures\nDisaggregation and transparency principles\n\n\n5.

SUMMARY:IFRS 16-Leases Webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 16-Leases Webinar\nDate: 8th September 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe adoption of IFRS 16: Leases is one of the most significant changes in financial reporting in recent years. This has fundamentally transformed the accounting treatment of lease transactions. The standard adopted a unified lessee accounting model\, requiring lessees to recognize leases in the statement of financial position by establishing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. \nDespite IFRS 16 having been effective for several years\, financial statement reviews continue to reveal inconsistencies in lease identification\, measurement\, reassessment\, and disclosure practices. Additionally\, evolving business models\, economic uncertainties\, and complex contractual arrangements continue to create new challenges for preparers and auditors of financial statements. \nProfessional accountants in practice play a critical role in supporting organizations to achieve compliance with IFRS 16 through the preparation\, review\, audit\, and interpretation of financial statements. As businesses continue to adopt increasingly complex leasing arrangements\, there is a growing need for accountants to strengthen their understanding of the practical application of IFRS 16 and emerging implementation issues. \nThe webinar seeks to bridge knowledge gaps and equip professional accountants with practical skills necessary to apply IFRS 16 effectively while enhancing compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nApply the key recognition and measurement principles of IFRS 16.\nIdentify contracts that contain leases.\nCalculate and account for lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.\nAccount for lease modifications and reassessments.\nEvaluate disclosure requirements under IFRS 16.\nIdentify and address common compliance challenges in lease accounting.\nImprove the quality and consistency of financial reporting relating to leases.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis training is primarily intended for preparers of financial statements and assurance professionals\, though not limited to accountancy practitioners; staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend.  \nContinuous 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. Charges will cater for online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking \nRegistration: Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for the workshop is mandatory on https://www.icpak.com/event-registration/Online Booking \nWe call on interested participants to note that booking for the event is available online at www.icpak.com  and will close two hours before the training session. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:Measuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nMeasuring GHG Emissions-Scope 1\,2 and 3 Practical (virtual option)\nDate: 17th – 18th September 2026\nTime: 9:00am – 4:00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThere is increased pressure from regulators\, investors\, financiers\, and other stakeholders for organizations across all sectors to measure\, manage\, and transparently report their GHG emissions. With increasing mainstreaming of climate-related disclosures\, the need for professionals who can apply the GHG accounting principles practically\, as set out in recognized global frameworks\, cannot be over-emphasized. This practical course will focus on the development of hands-on capacity to measure\, calculate\, document\, and report GHG emissions for Scope 1\, Scope 2\, and Scope 3. The course will bridge the gap between theory and practice by focusing on real-life organizational scenarios\, sector-specific emission sources\, and practical calculations that align with international best practice. \nWith the gradual evolution of sustainability reporting\, it is increasingly expected of entities to report their carbon footprint in a reliable\, consistent\, and auditable manner. Yet\, for many organizations\, technical challenges persist regarding source identification for emissions\, collection of quality data on activities\, methods for selecting the most appropriate emission factors\, and completeness and accuracy concerns in disclosures. This course responds to the practical competencies gap by equipping participants with the necessary competencies to operationalize GHG measurement\, enhance internal data systems\, support assurance processes\, and better ensure the credibility of climate-related information presented within corporate reports. \nThe course will enhance the practical ability of participants to identify relevant emission sources\, apply standardized calculation methodologies\, manage data collection processes\, and prepare reliable GHG emissions reports. It seeks to build competence in distinguishing between direct and indirect emissions\, developing organizational and operational boundaries\, and embedding internal controls that support high-quality environmental data. Participants will also gain an appreciation of how robust GHG reporting supports risk management\, regulatory compliance\, strategic planning\, and stakeholder confidence. \nAdditionally\, the following topics will be discussed during the sessions: \nIntroduction to GHG Accounting Frameworks \n\nOverview of internationally accepted GHG accounting principles\nUnderstanding organizational and operational boundaries\nAlignment with global climate disclosure expectations\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 1 Emissions \n\nIdentifying direct emission sources (fuel combustion\, company vehicles\, industrial processes)\nActivity data collection and quality checks\nHands-on calculations using emission factors\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 2 Emissions \n\nAccounting for purchased electricity\, steam\, heating\, and cooling\nMarket-based versus location-based methods\nElectricity data interpretation and practical calculation exercises\n\nPractical Measurement of Scope 3 Emissions \n\nMapping value chain emission sources\nPrioritization of material Scope 3 categories\nPractical approaches to data estimation and supplier engagement\n\nGHG Data Management and Internal Controls \n\nDesigning data collection templates and control processes\nManaging data gaps\, assumptions\, and estimations\nDocumentation and audit trail requirements\n\nPreparation of GHG Emissions Reports \n\nStructuring clear and credible GHG disclosures\nConsistency with financial and sustainability reporting\nCommon errors and how to avoid them\n\nVerification and Assurance Readiness \n\nPreparing GHG data for independent verification\nUnderstanding assurance expectations and evidence requirements\nResponding to review findings and improving reporting quality\n\nLinking GHG Measurement to Strategy and Performance \n\nUsing emissions data to inform risk management and decision-making\nSetting reduction targets and monitoring progress\nIntegrating GHG data into broader ESG and sustainability frameworks\n\n Target Audience \n The course is intended for accountants\, auditors\, sustainability and ESG professionals\, internal control and risk management practitioners\, finance and operations managers\, environmental and health and safety officers\, compliance officers\, and consultants who are engaged in sustainability reporting or climate-related risk management. It will also be useful to public sector professionals\, regulators\, and development practitioners who support environmental accountability and the implementation of climate policy. \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the course. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

SUMMARY:Enhancement of compliance from reviews webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEnhancement of Compliance from Reviews webinar\nDate: 22nd September 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) conducts practice reviews and quality assurance assessments to promote adherence to professional standards\, ethical requirements\, and regulatory obligations among accounting professionals and firms. These reviews provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of quality management systems\, audit methodologies\, documentation practices\, independence requirements\, and compliance with applicable professional standards. The findings and recommendations arising from such reviews offer an opportunity for firms and practitioners to identify weaknesses and implement measures that strengthen compliance and improve the quality of professional services. \nThe purpose of this initiative is to enhance compliance through the effective implementation of recommendations arising from ICPAK reviews. By addressing identified gaps and strengthening internal controls\, firms can improve adherence to professional and ethical standards\, reduce the risk of regulatory breaches\, and enhance the quality and reliability of their services. The initiative seeks to foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability within professional practice. \nTo achieve this objective\, firms will review and analyze findings from ICPAK review reports\, develop corrective action plans\, and implement measures to address identified deficiencies. This will include reviewing and updating policies and procedures\, strengthening quality management systems\, improving documentation and record-keeping practices\, and providing targeted training to staff on professional and regulatory requirements. Periodic internal reviews and monitoring activities will also be undertaken to assess progress and ensure sustained compliance. \nThe expected outcome of this initiative is improved compliance with ICPAK requirements\, professional standards\, and ethical obligations. Enhanced compliance will contribute to higher-quality audit\, assurance\, and accounting services\, strengthen stakeholder confidence\, and reduce the recurrence of findings in future reviews. In addition\, stronger governance\, risk management\, and internal control processes will support the long-term sustainability and reputation of firms and practitioners. \nThe reviews serve as an important mechanism for promoting professional excellence and regulatory compliance within the accounting profession. By proactively addressing review findings and implementing recommended improvements\, firms and practitioners can strengthen their compliance frameworks\, improve service quality\, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. \nTraining areas \n\nOverview of ICPAK Practice Reviews and areas of improvement\nISQM 1 and ISQM 2 Compliance\nEthics and Independence Requirements\nApplication of International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)\nMonitoring and Internal Compliance Reviews\nAnti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing Compliance\nImplementation of Review Recommendations\nTechnology and Quality Management\n\nTarget Audience \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

Auditors are expected not only to provide assurance on financial information but also to navigate emerging risks\, leverage technology effectively and uphold the highest standards of professional judgment and ethical conduct. \nGlobally\, audit regulators and standard setters continue to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening audit quality and restoring public confidence in the profession. Recent developments such as the International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2)\, revisions to risk assessment and auditing standards\, increased focus on sustainability reporting and assurance\, and the adoption of advanced data analytics tools are reshaping audit methodologies and engagement practices. \nIn Kenya\, auditors operate within an increasingly complex environment characterized by heightened regulatory expectations\, digital transformation\, evolving reporting requirements\, and growing concerns over fraud\, cybersecurity threats\, and financial reporting quality. Recent corporate failures and governance challenges have further reinforced the need for robust audit processes\, enhanced professional skepticism\, and continuous capacity building among audit professionals. \nAs organizations embrace digital technologies and face new business risks\, audit staff must develop competencies that extend beyond traditional audit approaches. Skills in data analytics\, risk assessment\, fraud detection\, audit quality management\, and sustainability assurance are becoming essential for delivering high-quality audits that meet stakeholder expectations. \nThe Audit Staff Training Programme seeks to equip audit professionals with practical knowledge and emerging skills necessary to enhance audit quality\, strengthen professional judgment\, improve risk identification\, and effectively respond to the evolving demands of the profession.

SUMMARY:Stress Management and resilience for professionals-webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nStress Management and Resilience for Professionals Webinar\nTheme: Building Resilience for Sustainable Professional Performance and Well-being\nDate: 6th October 2026\nMode: Virtual\nTime: 4:00pm-6:00pm \nOverview \nToday’s professionals are operating in increasingly demanding environments shaped by evolving business models\, rapid technological change\, regulatory expectations\, tight deadlines\, and rising stakeholder demands. While these pressures can drive innovation and productivity\, they can also lead to prolonged stress\, burnout\, reduced performance\, and diminished well-being when not managed effectively. In this context\, stress management and resilience have become essential competencies for sustainable professional performance. \nStress is a natural response to workplace demands. However\, when it remains unmanaged\, it can affect physical health\, emotional well-being\, decision-making\, productivity\, and professional relationships. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders who often work in high-pressure settings\, the ability to manage stress while maintaining sound professional judgment is critical. \nResilience enables professionals to adapt positively to challenges\, recover from setbacks\, and remain focused during periods of uncertainty and change. It goes beyond coping with pressure; it is the capacity to learn\, grow\, and thrive despite adversity. Resilient professionals demonstrate emotional intelligence\, adaptability\, optimism\, and effective problem-solving skills\, which strengthen leadership\, teamwork\, communication\, and overall organizational performance. \nCreating mentally healthy workplaces requires shared commitment from both individuals and organizations. Leaders play a key role in fostering supportive environments that promote open communication\, psychological safety\, work-life balance\, and proactive stress management. Organizations that invest in employee well-being and resilience benefit from stronger engagement\, reduced absenteeism\, improved collaboration\, and higher levels of innovation and performance. \nThis webinar will equip participants with practical knowledge and evidence-based strategies for managing workplace stress and building resilience in demanding professional environments. Through expert presentations\, practical exercises\, and interactive discussions\, participants will learn how to recognize stress indicators\, strengthen emotional resilience\, improve coping mechanisms\, and maintain performance while safeguarding their mental well-being. \nRecognizing that resilient professionals are better positioned to deliver high-quality services\, exercise sound judgment\, and lead effectively through change\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this webinar to support members in strengthening stress management\, resilience\, and personal well-being. The programme is designed to help professionals sustain long-term performance while contributing to healthier\, more productive\, and more resilient workplaces. \n Topics To Be Covered \n\n Understanding Workplace Stress\n\n\nCommon sources of stress in professional environments\nEffects of prolonged stress\, pressure\, and burnout\nEarly warning signs and indicators of stress\n\n\n Building Personal Resilience\n\n\nKey characteristics of resilient professionals\nDeveloping adaptability\, emotional resilience\, and optimism\nMaintaining focus and performance under pressure\n\n\n Practical Strategies for Managing Stress\n\n\nEffective time\, priority\, and workload management\nPractical coping techniques\, mindfulness\, and recovery practices\nMaintaining healthy boundaries and work-life balance\n\n\n Creating a Healthy Professional Lifestyle\n\n\nPromoting personal well-being and sustainable professional habits\nBuilding supportive workplace relationships and communication practices\nDeveloping a personal resilience action plan\, followed by Q&A\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Reporting Course (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSustainability Reporting Course (virtual option)\nTheme: Advancing Sustainability Reporting: From Compliance to Value Creation\nDate: 8th -9th October  2026\nTime: 9.00am-3.30pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nHow can organizations effectively respond to growing stakeholder expectations for transparent\, reliable\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures while meeting emerging global reporting requirements? \nSustainability reporting has rapidly evolved from a voluntary corporate responsibility exercise into a critical component of corporate governance\, risk management\, and strategic decision-making. Investors\, regulators\, lenders\, customers\, and other stakeholders increasingly require organizations to disclose how sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect their business model\, strategy\, financial performance\, and long-term value creation. \nThe global sustainability reporting landscape has undergone significant transformation following the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the issuance of IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. These standards establish a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures and are increasingly influencing reporting expectations across jurisdictions\, industries\, and capital markets. \nOrganizations are now expected to go beyond broad sustainability narratives by demonstrating strong governance\, effective risk management\, measurable performance\, and credible climate-related disclosures. This includes identifying\, measuring\, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, climate-related risks and opportunities\, sustainability metrics\, and transition plans. As a result\, organizations must strengthen their reporting capabilities\, data management processes\, internal controls\, and readiness for assurance. \nProfessional accountants are at the centre of this transformation. Their expertise in reporting\, governance\, assurance\, internal controls\, performance measurement\, and risk management positions them to play a critical role in the implementation of sustainability reporting frameworks and standards. As organizations increasingly integrate sustainability considerations into business strategy and decision-making\, accountants must develop the practical competencies required to prepare\, review\, and support sustainability disclosures. \nIn line with its mandate to promote high standards of professional competence and support the accountancy profession\, ICPAK has organized this course to equip participants with practical knowledge and implementation skills in sustainability reporting. The training will provide guidance on applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 requirements\, conducting materiality assessments\, measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions\, developing sustainability disclosures\, establishing sustainability metrics and targets\, strengthening sustainability data governance\, and preparing organizations for sustainability assurance requirements. \nKey Topics     \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding and Implementing IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards\n·         Overview of the ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Framework \n·         IFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information \n·         IFRS S2 – Climate-related Disclosures \n·         Sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Integration of sustainability reporting with financial reporting \n·         Governance responsibilities for sustainability reporting \n \n\n\nB.   Materiality Assessment and Sustainability Risk Identification\n·         Principles of sustainability materiality assessment \n·         Identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities \n·         Stakeholder engagement and value chain considerations \n·         Risk and opportunity assessment methodologies \n·         Documentation and evidence requirements \n·         Integrating sustainability considerations into enterprise risk management \n \n\n\nC.   Climate Reporting and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions\n·         Climate-related disclosure requirements under IFRS S2 \n·         Understanding greenhouse gas emissions \n·         Scope 1 emissions \n·         Scope 2 emissions \n·         Scope 3 emissions \n·         GHG Protocol principles and reporting considerations \n·         Measuring\, calculating\, and reporting GHG emissions \n·         Common implementation challenges and practical solutions\n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Sustainability Metrics\, Targets\, and Data Management\n·         Sustainability metrics and performance indicators \n·         Climate-related metrics and targets \n·         Sustainability data collection and management systems \n·         Internal controls over sustainability information \n·         Data governance and data quality management \n·         Monitoring and evaluating sustainability performance\n\n\nE.     Developing Sustainability Disclosures and Reports\n·         Governance disclosures \n·         Strategy disclosures \n·         Risk management disclosures \n·         Metrics and targets disclosures \n·         Preparing IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 aligned sustainability reports \n·         Common reporting challenges and how to address them \n·         Practical case studies and reporting exercises \n \n\n\nF.   Sustainability Assurance and Emerging Developments\n·         Sustainability assurance landscape \n·         Limited versus reasonable assurance \n·         Internal audit and sustainability reporting \n·         Greenwashing risks and reporting integrity \n·         Emerging sustainability reporting trends \n·         Future developments in sustainability disclosures and regulation \n \n\n\n\n Target Audience: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 10 CPD Units upon successfully attending the session. \nCost: \nCharges for the training will be Kes 10\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:International Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nInternational Non-Profit Accounting Standards (INPAS)-webinar\nDate: 13th October 2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nVenue: Virtual Delivery \nOverview \nThe International Non-Profit Accounting Standard (INPAS) represents a landmark development in financial reporting for the non-profit sector. Launched in October 2025 as the first globally recognized accounting standard specifically designed for non-profit organizations (NPOs)\, INPAS provides a unified\, accrual-based framework tailored to the unique characteristics of nonprofits. Unlike traditional standards such as IFRS or national GAAP\, which primarily serve for-profit entities\, INPAS addresses sector-specific challenges including diverse funding sources\, donor restrictions\, and grant reporting. It emerged from the International Financial Reporting for Non-Profit Organisations (IFR4NPO) project\, led by CIPFA and Humentum\, following extensive global consultations over six years involving stakeholders from more than 40 countries. \nINPAS is built upon the foundation of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard\, adapting and extending it to better reflect non-profit realities. It applies to small\, medium\, and large NPOs that use accrual accounting\, offering guidance for preparing whole-of-entity financial statements that meet the needs of a wide range of users\, including donors\, regulators\, and beneficiaries. The standard emphasizes producing transparent\, credible\, and comparable financial reports while reducing inconsistencies that arise when NPOs apply multiple or mismatched frameworks across jurisdictions and funders. \nA core objective of INPAS is to enhance transparency\, accountability\, and trust in non-profit finances worldwide. It tackles long-standing issues such as the recognition and measurement of grants and donations\, the clear distinction and presentation of restricted versus unrestricted funds\, and the integration of meaningful narrative reporting alongside financial data. By providing specific rules for these areas\, INPAS helps ensure that financial statements deliver decision-useful information\, enabling stakeholders to better understand an organization’s resource allocation\, performance\, and compliance with donor intentions. \nThe standard covers comprehensive recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements customized to non-profit activities and funding models. It includes a Practice Guide for harmonized grant reporting\, which aims to streamline compliance across different funders and significantly reduce the administrative burden on NPOs that previously faced duplicative or conflicting reporting demands. This harmonization is expected to improve efficiency\, cut compliance costs\, and foster greater consistency in how financial information is communicated globally. \nINPAS promotes comparability across borders and organizations\, allowing donors\, governments\, and the public to more reliably assess and compare non-profits regardless of location or size. ICPAK has endorsed the use of the standards and early uptake is anticipated to build credibility and support informed decision-making. The standard’s standalone nature means NPOs can apply it independently\, though publicly accountable entities must make appropriate disclosures if choosing INPAS over full IFRS. \nOverall\, INPAS marks the non-profit sector’s alignment with the kind of standardized\, high-quality financial reporting long available to for-profit entities. By establishing a single\, sector-dedicated benchmark\, it seeks to strengthen donor confidence\, facilitate cross-border operations\, and ultimately contribute to more effective and trustworthy non-profit work worldwide. As implementation progresses\, ongoing guidance and resources from the International Non-Profit Reporting Foundation (INPRF) will support the transition for organizations adopting the standard. Join us for this webinar to get more insights on the standard. \n Target Audience \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.

SUMMARY:AML and CFT Audit webinar
DESCRIPTION:NSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nAML and CFT Audit webinar\nDate: 3rd November  2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nConducting an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) audit is a critical process for auditors\, financial institutions\, regulated entities and other designated professionals to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. These audits evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s policies\, procedures\, and controls designed to detect\, prevent\, and report money laundering and terrorist financing activities. Auditors assess whether the institution maintains a robust risk-based approach\, adhering to standards set by bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)\, local regulators\, and international guidelines. The primary goal is to identify weaknesses that could expose the organization to financial crime risks\, reputational damage\, or regulatory penalties. Successful audits require a combination of technical expertise\, independence\, and a thorough understanding of evolving threats in the global financial ecosystem. \nThe planning phase sets the foundation for a successful AML/CFT audit. Auditors begin by defining the scope\, objectives\, and timeline\, considering factors like the institution’s size\, customer base\, product offerings\, and geographic operations. A comprehensive risk assessment is conducted to prioritize high-risk areas\, such as correspondent banking\, trade finance\, or dealings with high-risk jurisdictions. Documentation review includes examining the AML/CFT policy framework\, customer due diligence (CDD) procedures\, and transaction monitoring systems. Engagement with key stakeholders\, including compliance officers and senior management\, helps align expectations and gather preliminary insights. Proper planning ensures resources are allocated efficiently and that the audit remains focused on material risks. \nRisk assessment forms the core of the audit methodology. Auditors evaluate the institution’s enterprise-wide risk assessment to determine if it accurately identifies\, measures\, and mitigates AML/CFT exposures. This involves analysing customer risk profiles\, enhanced due diligence (EDD) for politically exposed persons (PEPs)\, and sanctions screening processes. Data analytics tools are often employed to review transaction patterns\, flag suspicious activities\, and test the effectiveness of automated monitoring systems. Qualitative factors\, such as staff training programs and the “tone from the top” in fostering a culture of compliance\, are also scrutinized. Any gaps in risk identification can indicate systemic vulnerabilities that require immediate attention. \nFieldwork and testing procedures involve detailed examination of controls and operations. Auditors perform walkthroughs of key processes\, sample testing of customer files for proper KYC (Know Your Customer) documentation\, and validation of suspicious activity report (SAR) filings. Independent testing of transaction monitoring rules helps verify detection accuracy and false positive rates. Interviews with frontline staff and compliance teams reveal practical implementation challenges. Technology audits may include assessing the reliability of core banking systems and data integrity. These hands-on activities ensure that theoretical policies translate into effective day-to-day practices. \nEvaluation of findings focuses on the adequacy and effectiveness of the AML/CFT program. Auditors rate controls as effective\, partially effective\, or ineffective based on evidence gathered. Common deficiencies include inadequate customer identification\, weak ongoing monitoring\, or insufficient independent testing of the compliance function. Root cause analysis is performed to understand underlying issues\, such as resource constraints or outdated technology. The audit team also benchmarks the institution against industry best practices and regulatory expectations\, providing a holistic view of compliance maturity. This step is crucial for prioritizing remediation efforts. \nThe reporting and follow-up stage closes the audit cycle with actionable recommendations. A clear\, well-structured report is delivered to management and the board\, highlighting strengths\, weaknesses\, and prioritized remedial actions with timelines. Follow-up mechanisms ensure that agreed-upon corrective measures are implemented and tested in subsequent reviews.

SUMMARY:THE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2 (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE 43RD ANNUAL SEMINAR EDITION 2\nTheme: Advancing Trust & Credibility in a changing World\nHYBRID EVENT: PRIDE INN PARADISE HOTEL\, / TEMBO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE\, (PRIDE INN FLAMINGO) MOMBASA AND VIRTUAL\nDATES: MONDAY 9TH TO FRIDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2026\nTIME: 09.00AM-03.30PM \nABOUT ICPAK – THE HOST  \nThe Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is a regulatory body mandated to regulate and coordinate the activities of qualified and registered Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Kenya – including promoting research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters\, publication of books\, periodicals\, journals and articles in connection therewith; promoting the international recognition of the Institute\, advising the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies\, advising the Minister for Finance on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy and setting and enforcing standards of professional practice such as accounting\, auditing and ethical standards. \nThe Institute is established by an Act of parliament – The Accountants Act and has been in existence since 1978.  Over its long history it has registered over 40\,000 members. Its members work in diverse sectors of the economy as accountants\, financial experts\, auditors\, financial consultants among other careers within the larger definition of accountancy. Over 1500 of our members have emigrated and are working beyond the borders of Kenya. Members of the Institute are present in 44 different countries around the globe. \nANNUAL SEMINARS – A BRIEF HISTORY  \nFor over four decades\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has sustained a strong tradition of convening its members annually to reflect on the evolving accountancy profession and emerging issues shaping the national\, regional and global landscape. Since the inaugural Annual Seminar held in 1984\, the forum has grown into the Institute’s flagship professional development event\, symbolizing resilience\, unity and the profession’s unwavering commitment to the public interest. \nThis edition aims to discuss how trust and credibility remain fundamental to the functioning of economies\, institutions\, organisations and societies. In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world\, the ability of institutions and professionals to earn\, maintain and restore trust is becoming more important than ever. The global environment is being shaped by economic uncertainty\, technological disruption\, changing patterns of work\, sustainability challenges\, geopolitical developments and increasing demands for transparency and accountability. These changes are reshaping how governments\, businesses and professional institutions operate and how citizens and stakeholders assess their credibility. \nFor Kenya\, these developments come at a particularly important time. The country continues to pursue economic transformation while navigating fiscal pressures\, public debt\, changing global economic conditions\, institutional challenges and the need for sustainable and inclusive growth. At the same time\, organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate not only financial performance\, but also responsible leadership\, sustainability\, resilience and long-term value creation. Against this backdrop\, the accountancy profession has a critical role to play. Accountants and other professionals are entrusted with financial information\, public resources\, organisational decision-making and the assurance of credibility. Their responsibility therefore extends beyond technical compliance to include professional integrity\, ethical leadership\, accountability and the protection of the public interest. \nThe 43rd ICPAK Annual Seminar – Edition II therefore seeks to provide a high-level platform for professionals\, policymakers\, government leaders\, business leaders\, international organisations and other stakeholders to examine the changing nature of trust and credibility and the role of professionals in shaping Kenya’s future. \n\n\n\nDate\nTheme\nTopics\n\n\nDay One: \nMonday 9th Nov 2026\nArrival & Registration \nNetworking\n\n\nDay Two: \nTuesday 10th Nov 2026\nTrust\, Ethics & Leadership\n1.       The Role of Professionals in Safeguarding Public Trust \n2.       Ethical Leadership: Accountability\, Integrity and the Choices we Make \n3.       Public Finance\, Accountability and the Cost of Trust Deficits \n4.       From Professional to Nation Builder: The Responsibility of the Accountancy Profession\n\n\nDay Three: \nWednesday 11th Nov 2026\nNational Leadership & Governance\n1.       Leadership in a Changing World: Rebuilding Public Trust and Confidence in Institutions \n2.       Policy and Public Value: Bridging the Gap Between Policies and Economic Realities \n3.       From Policy to Prosperity: What Must Kenya Do Differently to Unlock Sustainable Economic Growth? \n4.       The Leadership Imperative: Ethics\, Accountability and the Future of Public Institutions \n5.       Devolution at the Crossroads: Are Counties Delivering Value to Citizens?\n\n\nDay Four: \nThursday 12th Nov 2026\nSustainability\, Technology & The Future Accountant \n1.       Building Organizations That Matter: Sustainability\, Purpose and Long-Term Value \n2.       Beyond Compliance: Why Sustainability Will Define the Competitiveness of Nations and Organizations \n3.       The Accountant of the Future: From Financial Stewardship to Value\, Trust and Sustainable Transformation \n4.       Technology\, Automation and the Changing Profession\n\n\nDay Five: \nFriday 13th Nov 2026\nPersonal Development \n1.       The Power of Wellbeing: Health\, Fitness and Wellness for a Thriving Professional Life\n\n\n\n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nCONFERENCE CHARGES \n\n\n\nDetails\nAmount\n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Members\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nVirtual Option (Non-Members)\nKes. 25\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\nBookings Deadline: Bookings close on Friday\, 6th November 2026 at 17:00 pm \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 43rd Annual Seminar Edition 1. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:ISA 220- Quality control for an audit of financial statements webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nISA 220- Quality control for an audit of Financial Statements Webinar\nDate: 10th November  2026\nTime: 04.00pm-06.00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nThe quality of an audit is fundamental to maintaining public trust in the accountancy profession and enhancing confidence in financial reporting. In an increasingly complex business environment characterized by evolving regulatory requirements\, technological advancements\, heightened stakeholder expectations\, and emerging risks\, audit firms and engagement teams are under greater pressure to consistently deliver high-quality audit engagements. \nRecognizing the need to strengthen audit quality\, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) introduced a new suite of quality management standards\, including International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 220\, Quality Management for an Audit of Financial Statements. The revised standard shifts the focus from traditional quality control procedures to a proactive and risk-based approach to quality management at the engagement level. \nISA 220 places greater responsibility on the engagement partner for managing and achieving quality throughout the audit engagement. The standard emphasizes leadership\, professional skepticism\, appropriate direction and supervision of engagement teams\, effective use of resources\, and ongoing evaluation of whether quality objectives are being achieved. It also aligns with International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 1 and ISQM 2\, creating a comprehensive framework for managing audit quality at both the firm and engagement levels. \nAs firms continue to implement quality management systems\, it is essential for engagement partners\, managers\, auditors\, and quality reviewers to understand their responsibilities under ISA 220 and how these requirements translate into practical actions throughout the audit lifecycle. Effective application of the standard contributes to improved audit execution\, stronger documentation\, enhanced professional judgment\, and greater confidence in audit opinions. \nThis webinar will provide participants with practical insights into the requirements of ISA 220 (Revised)\, the role of the engagement partner in achieving audit quality\, and best practices for embedding quality management into audit engagements across different jurisdictions and practice environments. \n\nUnderstanding the New Quality Management Framework\nCommon challenges and lessons learned in establishing effective quality management systems.\nInteraction between ISA 220 (Revised)\, ISQM 1\, and ISQM 2\nLeadership responsibilities for managing and achieving quality on audits\nFirms system of quality management and role of engagement teams\nRelevant ethical requirements\, including those related to independence\nRole and responsibilities of the engagement partner\nConsultation & documentation requirements\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.

SUMMARY:IPSAS Accrual webinar
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIPSAS Accrual\nTheme: Enhancing Transparency and Accountability Through Effective Application of Accrual-Based IPSAS\nDate: 24th November 2026\nTime: 4:00-6:00pm\nDelivery Mode: Virtual \nOverview \nAccrual-based IPSAS strengthens public sector financial management by improving transparency\, accountability\, and decision-making. By recognizing assets\, liabilities\, revenues\, and expenses when they occur\, it provides a fuller and more accurate view of an entity’s financial position and performance. \nMoving to IPSAS Accrual is more than an accounting change; it reshapes how public sector organizations plan\, manage\, and report finances. It supports better cost analysis\, asset and liability management\, long-term planning\, and evidence-based policy and budgeting. \nDespite progress\, many entities still face challenges in recognition\, measurement\, asset management\, employee benefits\, revenue recognition\, disclosures\, and IPSAS-compliant reporting. Addressing these requires continuous professional development and strong knowledge of accrual principles and IPSAS updates. \nThe changing public financial management environment calls for greater consistency\, comparability\, and accountability in reporting. Effective IPSAS Accrual application improves stewardship\, audit outcomes\, compliance\, and public trust by ensuring financial information reflects the substance of transactions. \nThis webinar will offer practical insights into IPSAS Accrual principles\, including recognition\, measurement\, presentation\, and disclosure requirements. Through examples\, discussions\, and case scenarios\, participants will explore common challenges and practical ways to improve public sector reporting. \nICPAK has organized this webinar to equip members with practical knowledge and current developments in IPSAS Accrual\, strengthening technical competence and supporting consistent application for transparency\, accountability\, and effective stewardship of public resources. \nKey topics to be covered \n\n Introduction to IPSAS Accrual\n\n\nPrinciples of accrual accounting\nBenefits of IPSAS Accrual\nCurrent implementation developments\n\n\n Key Recognition and Measurement Requirements\n\n\nRecognition of assets and liabilities\nRevenue and expense recognition\nPractical examples\n\n\n Preparing IPSAS-Compliant Financial Statements\n\n\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\nCommon implementation challenges\nGood reporting practices\n\n\n Practical Implementation Insights\n\n\nLessons learned from IPSAS implementation\nEmerging developments\nInteractive discussion and participant questions\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis webinar will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession\, Internal and External Auditors\, Consultants and Advisors \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPDs):\nMembers of ICPAK and those from reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successful completion of the workshop. \nFinancial Commitment:\nThe workshop charges are Kshs. 1\,000.
