SUMMARY:Evening Networking Forum-Mental Health (virtual option)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nEvening Networking Forum- Mental Health\nTheme- Strengthening Wellbeing\, Resilience\, and Professional Performance Through Mental Health Awareness\nTime: 04pm-06pm\nDate: 15th April 2026\nVenue- Zoom \nOverview: \nMental health has emerged as a central pillar of professional effectiveness\, resilience\, and sustainable performance. For accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, and business leaders\, mental health awareness is critical in navigating high-pressure environments\, tight deadlines\, regulatory scrutiny\, and stakeholder expectations. It encompasses the ability to recognize\, understand\, and manage one’s own mental and emotional wellbeing\, while also fostering supportive relationships and healthy work environments. \nA strong foundation in mental health awareness enhances self-care\, stress management\, emotional regulation\, and resilience. Professionals equipped with these skills are better able to maintain focus\, make sound decisions under pressure\, manage work-related stress\, and engage constructively with colleagues\, clients\, and stakeholders. Recognizing early warning signs\, developing coping strategies\, and accessing support are vital competencies that enable individuals and teams to thrive\, even in high-stakes professional contexts. \nOrganizations and professional environments that prioritize mental health see tangible benefits in performance\, collaboration\, and innovation. Teams with mentally healthy work cultures demonstrate higher engagement\, psychological safety\, accountability\, and adaptive capacity. Leaders who model and promote mental wellbeing create environments where individuals feel supported\, empowered\, and motivated to contribute meaningfully. As professional workplaces contend with long hours\, complex client demands\, and remote or hybrid work dynamics\, mental health awareness has become essential for sustainable professional growth and organizational resilience. \nThis Evening Networking Forum offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of mental health while engaging in a physical\, interactive setting. Through guided discussions\, scenario-based activities\, and practical exercises\, participants will explore strategies to manage stress\, maintain resilience\, and support colleagues’ mental wellbeing. The session blends learning with networking\, allowing participants to practice insights in real interpersonal interactions in a supportive environment. \nA practical component\, The Mental Health Mirror\, enables participants to reflect on personal stress triggers\, coping mechanisms\, and behavioral patterns that affect wellbeing. Peer-based exercises reinforce understanding\, encourage empathy\, and provide a safe space to practice stress management and self-care strategies while receiving constructive feedback. \nIn recognition of the importance of mental health in professional performance and leadership effectiveness\, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has organized this Evening Networking Forum. The session is designed to inspire self-awareness\, promote resilience\, and empower participants to integrate mental health strategies into their professional and personal lives. \nThe forum is designed to cover the following areas: \n\nFoundations of Mental Health for Professionals\nMental Health and Professional Effectiveness\nThe Mental Health Mirror: Guided Self-Reflection and Practical Application\nApplying Mental Health Awareness in Real Workplace Scenarios\nNetworking with Mental Health Awareness\n\nTarget Audience: \nThis forum is designed for professionals from all industries and experience levels who are looking to improve their ability to manage stress and build resilience in their careers \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending and participating in the forum. \nFinancial Commitment: \nThe workshop charges are Kes. 2\,000.

However\, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs) often face challenges in applying full ISAs in a way that suits their unique structures and needs. \nThe introduction of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for less complex entities (LCEs) is a response to the growing recognition that smaller and less complex organizations face unique challenges in complying with full ISAs. These standards are intended to reduce the burden of compliance while maintaining the integrity and quality of audits. \nThis course is designed to help auditors understand and apply ISA specifically tailored for Less Complex Entities (LCEs). It aims to bridge the gap between the International Standards on Audits (ISA) and the operational realities of SMEs. \nThe following topics will be covered: \n\nIntroduction to ISA for Less complex entities\n\n\nBackground\nThe rationale for ISA for Less complex entities\nPublic interest overriding consideration\n\n\nDifferences between ISA for Less complex entities and existing ISAs\nCore concepts of ISA for Less Complex entities\n\n\nFundamental Concepts\, General Principles and Overarching Requirements\nAudit Evidence and Documentation\nEngagement Quality Management\nAcceptance or Continuance of an Audit Engagement and Initial Audit Engagements\nPlanning\nRisk Identification and Assessment\nResponding to Assessed Risks of Material Misstatement\nConcluding\nForming an Opinion and Reporting\nAudits of Group Financial Statements\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis course will be useful to professionals in the Audit and accounting sector with bias on assurance professionals and specifically:  \n\nAuditors working with small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) and less complex entities (LCEs).\nAudit firms seeking to enhance their audit practices for smaller clients.\n\n\nProfessionals involved in the development\, implementation\, and application of auditing standards for SMEs.\n\n\nAccounting and auditing students who aim to specialize in auditing LCEs\nSupervisors in external audit\, internal audit and compliance\nMid-level managers looking to enhance their auditing skills\n\n\nIndividuals responsible for overseeing audits or teams involved in auditing\n\nYOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \nCharges for the training will be Kes 1\,000/= which will cover workshop fees\, materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending all sessions. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session. Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory.

The symposium will provide practical insights into how to navigate these complex standards\, emerging issues associated with fair value measurement\, impairment assessments and financial risk disclosures\, along with integration of sustainability information under IFRS S1 & S2. \nThe increasing demands of the profession go hand in hand with expectations for professional judgment to be exercised and consistency to be maintained in financial reporting\, amidst the ever-evolving business models and sophisticated transactions. The symposium will emphasize challenges encountered when applying principles-based standards so that participants can feel confident about interpreting the requirements of IFRS in different industries and financial environments. Focus will be on practical applications\, case studies\, and common pitfalls observed in practice. \nBringing technical experts and practitioners together in this virtual symposium provides an avenue for deepening understanding\, discussing experiences regarding implementation and enhancing the capacity of finance and accounting professionals. It reiterates the commitment to high-quality reporting and equips participants with practical tools that will help enhance compliance with standards\, improve stakeholder communication and maintain the integrity of financial information\, as part of global best practices. \nTopics \nIFRS S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information \n\nPurpose and objectives of IFRS S1\nRelationship with other sustainability reporting frameworks – GRI & TCFD\nDisclosure Requirements – Governance\, Strategy\, Risk management\, Metrics & Targets\n\nIFRS S2 – Climate Related Disclosures \n\nPurpose and scope of IFRS S2\nBoard oversight of climate-related issues\nManagement’s role in assessing and managing climate risks\nIdentifying climate-related risks and opportunities\nImpacts on business model\, strategy\, and financial planning\n\nGHG Emissions (Metrics & Tragets) \n\nIntroduction to GHG Emissions\nOverview of the GHG Protocol (Scope 1\, 2 & 3 emissions)\nManaging Climate Risks and Reducing Emissions\nClimate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions\nSteps to create a transition plan\n\nThe Sustainability Reporting Cycle \n\nAllocating responsibility for sustainability reporting\nEstablishing the reporting landscape\nDetermining the material sustainability related information to be reported\nDetermining the data requirements\nCollecting the data\nReporting on the data collected\nImplementing reporting\n\nIFRS 9: Financial Instruments \n\nClassification and Measurement: Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities\nImpairment: IFRS 9 introduced a forward-looking Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model.\nHedge Accounting\nDerecognition\n\n IFRS 7: Financial Instruments Disclosures \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 7\nCategories of financial instruments\nDisclosure Requirements for Financial Risks\nStatement of Financial Position\nDisclosure for Impairment of Financial Instruments\nDisclosure for Liquidity Risk\nMarket Risk Disclosures\n\nIFRS 16: Leases \n\nOverview of IFRS 16\nLease term determination and reassessment considerations\nRecognition and measurement of right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities\nLease modifications: Accounting treatment from both lessee and lessor perspectives\nPresentation and disclosure requirements in the financial statements\n\nIFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 15\nScope and recognition\nMeasurement of revenue\nContract costs\nPresentation and disclosure\n\nIFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements \n\nIncome statement structure\nManagement-defined performance measures\nAggregation and disaggregation\nOther changes for the financial statements\nInterim financial reporting\nEffective date and transition\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession \nContinuous Professional Development Units (CPD Units): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 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:Webinar IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nIFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers\nDate: 24th March 2026\nTime: 4.00pm-6.00pm\nVenue: Virtual \nOverview \nBefore IFRS 15 came into effect\, revenue recognition in Kenya was guided by a patchwork of older standards—mainly IAS 11 (Construction Contracts) and IAS 18 (Revenue)—each with differing principles and inconsistent application across industries. This created challenges in comparability and interpretation\, especially for entities with complex or long-term contracts. \nThe introduction of IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers\, effective January 2018\, revolutionized revenue recognition by introducing a single\, principles-based model applicable to all industries. IFRS 15 established a clear five-step framework for recognizing revenue\, ensuring that financial statements reflect the amount and timing of revenue that truly represents the transfer of goods or services to customers. \nFor Kenyan businesses\, correct application of IFRS 15 is critical in promoting trust\, consistency\, and transparency among investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and clients. The standard continues to be the cornerstone for how companies—from construction and telecommunications to financial services and technology—measure and report revenue from customer contracts. As entities integrate digital business models\, performance-based contracts\, and subscription services\, revisiting IFRS 15’s requirements remain crucial for accurate reporting and compliance. \nICPAK has organized this webinar to discuss the following key areas: \n\nIntroduction to IFRS 15\nThe 5-step revenue recognition model\nTypes of contracts and transaction prices\n\n\nComplex Contract Scenarios & Multi-Element Arrangements: Recognition challenges in bundled goods\, services\, and performance obligations.\n\n\nTypes of warranties under IFRS 15\nPresentation and disclosure requirements\n\n\nVariable Consideration & Revenue Estimation Updates: Latest guidance on handling discounts\, rebates\, and contingent payments.\n\nTarget Audience \nThis workshop will be useful to all professional Accountants and those aspiring to join the profession. \nCPD Units \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 CPD Units upon successfully attending each of the sessions. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kes. 1\,000. Charges will cater for the course fees\, learning 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. \nNita Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

It will also be of practical use to entrepreneurs and owners of SMEs who want to meet their tax obligations in an efficient and consistent manner. Delivered over two days\, this course simplifies concepts into a structured approach that enables the participants to apply the learned concepts immediately within their work environments. The session also provides ample time for sharing knowledge\, learning from each other\, and seeking clarification on emerging issues in tax administration. \nBy the end of the programme\, participants will have developed their competence in preparing and filing various tax returns\, reconciling records\, interpreting relevant legislation\, and aligning their processes with best practice. The practical focus of the training will ensure that delegates leave with real skills that enhance not only their individual capability but also that of the organization in terms of tax compliance. \nTopics to Be Discussed  \n\nOverview of Kenya’s tax system and statutory filing requirements\nUnderstanding tax laws and compliance obligations\nStep-by-step filing of PAYE returns on iTax\nPractical preparation and filing of VAT returns\nWithholding Tax (WHT) obligations and return submission procedures\nFiling Income Tax for individuals and corporates\nReconciling tax ledgers and supporting documentation\nCommon filing errors and how to avoid penalties\nResponding to queries\, notices\, and compliance reviews\nBest practices for year-round tax compliance and record management\n\nTarget Audience \nThis virtual symposium will be useful to all professional Accountants and other professionals interested in taxation.    \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 virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar is free of charge \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:Overview of  INPAS Standards webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nOverview of INPAS Standards webinar\nDate: 5th March 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: \nAll professionals working in the NPO Sector\, external auditors\, consultants\, academia and other interested professionals.  \n Continuous Professional Development Units (CPD UNITS): \nMembers of ICPAK and reciprocating professional bodies will be awarded 2 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the webinar. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe webinar charges are Kshs. 1\,000. 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:SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IFRS S1 and S2 WORKSHOP 2026 (Mandatory Training) virtual option
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP\nDATE: 2nd -6th March 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVenue: Virtual Delivery\nTheme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2 \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global corporate reporting landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as sustainability-related risks and opportunities increasingly affect enterprise value\, capital allocation\, and long-term business viability. Investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and other capital providers are no longer satisfied with high-level ESG narratives; they are demanding decision-useful\, comparable\, and verifiable sustainability information that is clearly connected to financial performance and position. \nIn response to this demand\, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) to establish a global baseline for sustainability reporting that is investor-focused\, consistent\, and integrated with financial reporting. These standards reposition sustainability disclosures from stand-alone reports to an integral component of general-purpose financial reporting\, subject to governance\, controls\, and assurance expectations similar to those applied to financial statements. \nHowever\, despite growing awareness of IFRS S1 and S2\, many organizations face significant challenges in operationalizing the standards. Preparers often understand the conceptual requirements but struggle with practical questions such as: \n\nWhat constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?\nHow should governance\, strategy\, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?\nWhich metrics and targets are appropriate\, reliable\, and defensible?\nHow can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements\, assumptions\, and judgments?\nHow should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?\n\nIn many cases\, existing ESG reports are narrative-heavy\, inconsistently structured\, and weakly linked to financial outcomes. This creates credibility risks\, exposes organizations to accusations of greenwashing\, and undermines the usefulness of sustainability information for decision-making. For emerging and developing markets in particular\, capacity constraints\, data limitations\, and evolving regulatory expectations further compound these challenges. \nThis workshop is designed to respond to that bridge that gap. By focusing on practical reporting application rather than standard-by-standard exposition\, it aims to equip participants with the tools\, frameworks\, and confidence required to prepare clear\, coherent\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2. The workshop also recognizes sustainability reporting as a journey\, supporting participants in moving from initial compliance toward mature\, integrated\, and credible sustainability reporting practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, boards\, and auditors\n\n\nB.   Identifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments\n\n\nC.   Reporting Governance\, Strategy\, and Risk Management\n·         Governance disclosures: roles of the board and management \n·         Linking sustainability risks and opportunities to strategy \n·         Integrating sustainability into enterprise risk management (ERM) \n·         Avoiding boilerplate disclosures \n·         Examples of strong vs weak IFRS S1 governance narratives \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Selecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n·\n\n\nE.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices \n \n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n \nG.   Connectivity Between Sustainability and Financial Reporting\n·         Linking sustainability risks to financial impacts \n·         Implications for revenue\, costs\, assets\, liabilities\, and provisions \n·         Consistency between sustainability disclosures and management commentary \n·         Avoiding contradictions between ESG reports and financial statements \n·         Preparing for assurance and audit scrutiny\n\n\nDAY 3\nH.   Climate-related Risks and Opportunities under IFRS S2\n·         Physical vs transition climate risks \n·         Short-\, medium-\, and long-term climate impacts \n·         Identifying climate-related opportunities \n·         Value chain and geographic considerations \n·         Climate-related targets and transition plans \n \n\n\n \nI.     Preparing a Coherent IFRS S1 & S2–Aligned Report\n·         Structuring sustainability disclosures \n·         Integrating IFRS S1 and S2 requirements coherently \n·         Avoiding duplication across reports \n·         Readiness for assurance and regulatory review \n·         Roadmap for continuous improvement and year-on-year enhancement\n\n\n\nTARGET 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. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers who attend the webinar in full will earn 20 Structured CPD Units. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 54\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\n ONLINE 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 \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).
