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).

It plays a central role in shaping the quality of oversight\, the accuracy of financial reporting\, and the robustness of governance structures. Yet\, as global corporate failures and governance breakdowns continue to demonstrate\, risks often escalate not because controls are absent\, but because they are outdated\, poorly implemented\, or misaligned with strategic realities. \nThe release of the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025) marks a pivotal moment for the profession. These standards provide a unified global framework that reinforces ethical conduct\, independence\, objectivity\, and quality assurance—positioning internal audit as a strategic function that enhances resilience\, strengthens stakeholder confidence\, and safeguards long-term value. They reshape expectations of the profession by demanding deeper risk insights\, more rigorous methodologies\, and a more forward-looking perspective on organizational vulnerabilities. \nWhether you are a seasoned Internal Auditor or beginner\, the Global Internal Audit Standards workshop offers participants an opportunity to develop a foundational and fundamental understanding of the internal audit profession\, the internal audit process\, and how the IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF)\, including the Global Internal Audit Standards that became  effective in 2025 and serve as the guiding compass for the internal audit activity. \nThe workshop delivers an enhanced level of knowledge of the professional practice of internal auditing to experienced Internal Audit practitioners\, those who are pursuing an understanding of the internal audit nomenclature as new practitioners and external auditors who are transitioning to internal auditing through an in-depth exploration of the domains\, principles\, and standards. \nThe seminar is designed to cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to IIA guidance found in the IPPF\nGlobal Internal Audit Standards: Comparisons and contrasts between internal audit to external audit.\nPurpose\, authority\, and responsibility of the internal audit activity and concept of governance.\nDomain 1: Purpose of Internal Auditing.\nDomain II: Ethics and Professionalism.\nDomain III—Governing the Internal Audit Function \nDomain IV- Managing the Internal Audit Function\nDomain V- Performing Internal Audit Services\nApplying the Global Internal Audit Standards in the Public Sector\nStrengthening Organizational Resilience\nGlobal guidance\, topical requirements\, GIAS preparedness and gap assessment\nAction Plan for Internal Auditors for GIAS implementation\nEthics And Professionalism in Internal Auditing\n\n Target Audiences \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.

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

Despite these changes\, it is imperative to underscore the fact that the ability of an auditor to effectively identify and assess risks of material misstatement is the foundation of audit quality. At the heart of this process lies ISA 315 (Revised)\, the standard that governs how auditors understand entities\, their environments\, and related risks. \nThis 2-hour practical webinar is designed to provide audit practitioners with a clear\, applied\, and contemporary understanding of ISA 315\, with emphasis on its revised requirements\, enhanced risk assessment procedures\, and stronger linkage between risk identification and audit responses. \nThe session will examine how auditors are expected to: \n\nDevelop a deep understanding of the entity and its environment\nEvaluate information systems and internal controls\nIdentify and assess inherent and control risks\nIncorporate the impact of technology\, automation\, and digital systems\nStrengthen professional skepticism and fraud risk assessment\n\nParticular focus will be placed on practical application\, including documentation expectations\, common inspection findings\, and how weak risk assessment directly undermines audit quality. The webinar will also highlight regulatory and practice challenges within the Kenyan context\, helping practitioners align with both international standards and local oversight expectations. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will have enhanced confidence in applying ISA 315 effectively\, strengthening audit planning\, improving audit responses\, and delivering higher-quality\, risk-focused assurance engagements. \nTarget Audience \nThis training is not limited to accountancy only\, staff from other units are highly encouraged to attend. \nContinuous Professional Development Units\nMembers of ICPAK and those from other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 2 CPD units upon successfully attending all conference sessions. \nFinancial Commitment: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n \n\n\nAssociate Members\n\nKes. 1\,000\n\n\n\nFull Members\n\nKes. 1\,000\n\n\n\nNon-Member\n\nKes. 1\,000\n\n\n\n\nNote: This is virtual training and therefore training materials\, meals and other related provisions are not required. \nOnline Booking: \nWe call on seminar participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events. \nDelegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY.   This is available either online at www.icpak.com/events  or on the ICPAK Live – A smart phone-based application that is available from google store. \nNational Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Reimbursement: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with the National Industrial Training Authority.

The recently enacted amendments to income tax and indirect tax laws have greatly impacted the way business\, individuals\, and professionals perform their financial reporting and compliance obligations. As the Kenyan government increases its tempo in implementing tax reforms to raise revenue mobilization\, especially from domestic sources\, taxpayers are increasingly required to demonstrate unprecedented levels of tax literacy\, compliance\, and moral obligation. In this respect\, targeted capacity building for accounting and finance professionals is increasingly warranted to equip them with updated knowledge and practical insights into the changing tax framework. \nICPAK intends to hold a seminar that brings together tax practitioners\, accountants\, auditors\, finance professionals\, policymakers\, and industry players to discuss emerging developments in income and indirect taxes. The forum will enable review of recent changes in legislation\, administrative guidelines\, judicial decisions\, and best practices on how to plan for and comply with taxes. It shall also provide participants with an opportunity to discuss with experts’ practical challenges that affect business pertaining to\, among other areas\, tax risk management\, tax audits\, digital taxation\, cross-border taxation challenges\, and the shifting landscape of tax policy relative to business sustainability and economic growth. \nOne key focus will be the recent changes in tax legislation. The seminar will also dig into the complex topic of transfer pricing\, focusing on the impact of these regulations on multinational corporations and how businesses can align their policies with international guidelines such as the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) framework. Participants will receive practical guidance on managing transfer pricing risks and ensuring compliance with global standards. \nIn addition to income tax\, the seminar will cover key issues in indirect taxes\, starting with the evolving landscape of Value Added Tax (VAT). The session will address the latest updates in VAT regulations\, compliance and opportunities for businesses to manage VAT refunds and audits effectively. Further discussions will cover the administration of excise taxes\, particularly in light of emerging trends in digital goods and services\, as well as the broader impact of excise duties on business profitability. \nThis seminar will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of income and indirect taxes while ensuring compliance and identifying tax planning opportunities. \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 10 Structured CPD Units upon successfully completion of the virtual symposium. \nFinancial Commitment \nThe symposium charges are Kshs. 10\,000.

They carry the responsibility of guiding institutions through complex and often unpredictable environments while ensuring that stakeholder trust\, public accountability\, and organizational integrity are upheld. In today’s fast-evolving landscape\, boards are confronted with unprecedented pressures that range from technological disruption\, rapid digitization\, and market volatility to regulatory shifts\, ESG imperatives\, climate-related risks\, geopolitical instability\, and heightened expectations from investors\, regulators\, and the public for transparency\, accountability\, and sustainable impact. \nThe ability to respond effectively to these multidimensional pressures requires more than technical expertise; it calls for strategic foresight\, adaptive leadership\, emotional intelligence\, and a profound understanding of governance dynamics. Board members must make informed\, forward-looking decisions while simultaneously fostering alignment\, collaboration\, and cohesion among diverse stakeholders within and outside the boardroom. \nThe role of the board chair has never been more critical. Chairs are tasked with orchestrating the board’s overall effectiveness\, navigating the interplay of diverse personalities\, resolving conflicts\, and ensuring that governance processes are executed efficiently and transparently. They must cultivate strong\, productive relationships with the CEO\, Board Secretary\, and management team while ensuring that directors collectively exercise their fiduciary duties to the highest standard. The effectiveness of the chair in balancing the contributions of both first-time and experienced directors can significantly influence board culture\, decision-making quality\, and organizational performance. Similarly\, boards must actively work to establish a culture of trust\, accountability\, and continuous learning\, while ensuring that strategic priorities are translated into actionable outcomes for the organization. \nThe 21st-century boardroom is no longer a ceremonial space reserved for quarterly reviews or compliance reporting. It has evolved into a dynamic and strategic arena where governance\, strategy\, risk management\, and stakeholder engagement converge. Directors are expected to cultivate agility\, enabling them to anticipate change\, respond effectively in real time\, and make decisions under uncertainty. Agile boards are characterized by their ability to embrace diversity of thought\, encourage psychological safety\, promote constructive dissent\, and challenge entrenched assumptions. They are courageous and innovative\, willing to rethink strategy\, disrupt legacy processes\, and lead organizational transformation while maintaining focus on long-term sustainability. In this environment\, boards that fail to adapt risk falling behind\, as stakeholders increasingly demand evidence of proactive leadership\, ethical decision-making\, and measurable organizational impact. \nSustainability and ESG considerations have transitioned from peripheral topics to central elements of board responsibility. Directors are expected to oversee climate action\, social initiatives\, ethical conduct\, and integrated reporting with the same rigor traditionally applied to financial oversight. Boards must ensure that ESG strategies are aligned with organizational objectives\, embedded into decision-making frameworks\, and communicated transparently to stakeholders. In parallel\, the rapid advancement of technology has transformed how boards operate. Digital intelligence—including AI\, data governance\, cybersecurity\, and emerging tech—requires directors to be well-versed in tech-driven risks and opportunities\, enabling them to provide strategic oversight of digital transformation initiatives. The convergence of ESG\, technological innovation\, and governance demands that boards operate with both strategic acumen and operational insight to safeguard the organization’s long-term viability. \nThe 9th Board Masterclass is designed to equip both new and experienced directors with the mindset\, knowledge\, and practical tools necessary to lead high-performing\, resilient\, and future-ready boards. Over five days\, participants will engage in expert-led sessions\, case studies\, interactive simulations\, and peer learning\, exploring contemporary topics including board leadership\, culture\, performance\, risk governance\, sustainability\, digital transformation\, and strategic foresight. Beyond technical and strategic competencies\, the Masterclass emphasizes the human dimensions of governance—interpersonal dynamics\, leadership styles\, conflict resolution\, and cultural factors that influence boardroom effectiveness. Participants will also gain insights into practical approaches for fostering inclusive\, adaptive\, and agile boards capable of responding to change while maintaining ethical standards and public trust. \nBy the conclusion of this Masterclass\, participants will have developed the knowledge\, skills\, and confidence to make informed strategic decisions\, foster board cohesion\, champion ESG and digital initiatives\, and lead with integrity\, foresight\, and resilience. The program serves not only as a comprehensive learning experience but also as a leadership retreat and strategic reset. It challenges boards to reflect on their current practices\, anticipate emerging trends\, and adopt governance approaches that maximize value\, enhance organizational resilience\, and ensure sustainable impact in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nThis program is divided into the following five modules covering the various aspects of Board Competence: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Strategic Board Leadership\n1.

Ethics are largely described as the principles that guide a person’s behaviour while undertaking day to day activities. Occasionally\, in certain jurisdictions some ethical values get enacted as laws. Governing laws are structured rules utilized to govern a society whereas ethics are a set of moral values an individual establishes. Ethical behaviours apply to any employee\, team leader or supervisor. They should display a behaviour that is honest and fair in their relationship with their co-workers and clients. A culture of ethical businesses is vital to the success of any business. \nA leader who personifies ethical behaviour will be fair in all situations. In turn\, employees will trust their leadership team and aid in achievement of the organizational goals. Ethical behaviour includes honesty\, integrity\, fairness and a host of other positive traits. Businesses are expected to act in an ethically responsible manner\, carrying out its activities in a legal manner even when the business has nothing to benefit from being ethical. Professional ethics provides a means to solve certain ethical problems related to a particular profession. Professional ethics contain the ideals that govern the conduct of a professional or a group of them. This means that an ethical business will act in a socially responsible way\, doing what is right even if it is not required to do so by legislation or regulation\, and regardless of the impact it might have on profits. Professionals are required to practice reasonable\, responsible and transparent behaviour that consciously avoids harmful actions by embodying high ethical standards. \nProfessional ethics in business is paramount and more so in the accounting profession where the end user of information and services has to place trust in the professionals. Professional accountants are constantly faced with ethical dilemmas such as lack of independence in practice\, conflict of interest\, falsified financial reports\, and facilitating or receiving bribes etc however they are required to carry out their roles in a rational\, accountable and transparent manner by upholding high ethical standards to avoid unethical actions. \nConsequently\, the rise in ethical issues all over the world means that all professionals contribute to at least a percentage and even the most properly regulated professional bodies globally have developed a set of standards that have to be adhered to by the members. This explains the need for professional ethics and their application for members. It is in this context Institute has organized a two-day virtual workshop to explore the ethical considerations which are practically applicable in the workplace and as expected professionally. \nThe International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) develops and promotes the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards). The IESBA also supports debate on issues related to accounting ethics and auditor independence. In 2018\, the IESBA issued a revised and restructured Code which came into effect in June 2019. The revised and restructured Code includes many substantive revisions\, including in relation to non-compliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR). The 2018 version of the Code makes it clear that professional accountant\, in whatever capacity they are engaged\, cannot turn a blind eye to NOCLAR. The provisions in the Code\, including NOCLAR guide ethical behavior and help professional accountants uphold their responsibility to act in the public interest. The IESBA Code also includes a principles-based definition of what constitutes a network. The definition covers the way a group of companies operate and present themselves and is consistent with the Statutory Audit Directive. \nAll accountants are expected to subscribe to this code of ethics. With the growing necessity for patriotic and nationalistic individuals to step up to lead the country in every sector that they are involved in\, it is in this recognition that the Institute has organized for the Practical Ethics and Compliance Seminar to address: \nTOPICS \n\nOverview of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants-Practical Application of International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\nImportant ethical requirements that professional accountants should keep in mind:\n\n\nResponsibilities\nPublic Interest\nIntegrity\nObjectivity and Independence\nDue Care\nScope and Nature of Services\n\n\nEthical dilemmas for professional accountants in public and private sectors\nProfessional Ethics in Practice – Considerations for the Accountant\, personal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nThe Corruption Challenge in Kenya and Ethical Perspectives-Lessons from the EACC on ethics for professionals and the fight against corruption\nAssessing the true cost of corruption and unethical behavior to the business\nPersonal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nProfessional Misconduct and the Ethical Link – Insights from the ICPAK Disciplinary Committee\nBuilding an Ethical Organization and Capability Among Professionals\nRole of the accountant in sustainable governance\nEthical issues in the workplace/business\nEmerging issues and trends on ethics\, risk\, and reporting\nBroader view of board diversity to include ethnicity and race\nSetting up an effective internal controls’ framework in support of organizational ethics and integrity\nOrganisational Culture and its impact on ethics for professionals: Effective tone at the top in setting the right culture\nEthics and Leadership\n\n\nAccounting Professionals as an ethical role model and guardian of integrity\nIntegrating integrity into business strategy and corporate culture\nMobilizing people to make a positive change in the world and promote public values\nPractical approaches of reducing corporate failures\n\n\nDeveloping resilience- Mental health for professionals\n\nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\n**Charges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 2026 Practical Ethics & Compliance Seminar. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

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.

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.

In recent years\, Kenya—like many countries across Africa and beyond—has experienced significant shifts in its governance\, fiscal management\, and public service delivery landscape. These developments have been influenced by technological advancements\, evolving regulatory frameworks\, heightened public scrutiny\, and a global push toward ethical leadership\, transparency\, and sustainable development. Increasingly\, leaders are required to operate in environments defined by complexity\, uncertainty\, and accelerated change. \nIn Kenya\, rising fiscal pressures\, growing public expectations\, and intensified demands for accountability have compelled public institutions to rethink how they manage resources\, deliver services\, and uphold ethical standards. County Governments\, State Corporations\, and national agencies face competing priorities: addressing revenue constraints\, strengthening internal controls\, improving procurement management\, leveraging technology\, and aligning institutional mandates with national development agendas such as Vision 2030\, MTP IV\, the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA)\, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nAt the same time\, the digital transformation of government processes—ranging from e-citizen services to automated financial management systems—has reshaped how leaders plan\, execute\, monitor\, and account for public resources. These shifts demand leaders who possess not only technical and strategic competency\, but also agility\, ethical grounding\, and the ability to lead high-performance institutions in dynamic environments. \nRegional integration within the East African Community\, global economic realignments\, and shifting geopolitical dynamics have further underscored the need for resilient\, future-ready leadership. As public and private sector organizations expand their mandates\, adopt new technologies\, and navigate increasing risk exposure\, executives must be well-equipped to evaluate emerging threats\, leverage innovation\, strengthen stakeholder engagement\, and build systems that promote stability and long-term sustainability. Issues such as public debt sustainability\, environmental and social governance (ESG)\, climate-related risks\, service delivery challenges\, and growing citizen demands have made leadership more complex than ever before. \nAmidst these pressures\, the need for strong ethical leadership\, strategic decision-making\, and governance excellence has grown significantly. Executives must be capable of cultivating integrity-driven institutional cultures\, managing reputational risk\, enhancing communication with stakeholders\, and ensuring compliance with the law while upholding public trust. The expectations placed on CEOs\, Accounting Officers\, and CECs have deepened\, requiring a blend of strategic foresight\, operational discipline\, ethical awareness\, and collaborative leadership. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Annual Convention for CEOs\, Accounting Officers & CECs provides a timely\, high-impact\, and forward-looking platform for capacity building\, policy dialogue\, and practical learning. The five-day convention brings together senior leaders\, policymakers\, governance experts\, and technical specialists to explore best practices\, emerging issues\, and innovative approaches shaping leadership in Kenya’s public and private sectors. Through knowledge-sharing\, panel discussions\, case studies\, and interactive sessions\, the convention equips participants with the frameworks\, insights\, and tools necessary to enhance institutional performance\, strengthen governance structures\, manage risks\, and deliver sustainable public value. \nANNUAL CONVENTION OBJECTIVES\nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\n Strengthen understanding of enterprise risk management foundations: Deepen knowledge of core risk management principles\, frameworks\, and best practices relevant to accountants\, auditors\, and risk champions.\n Enhance capacity in risk identification and analysis: Build skills in recognizing\, documenting\, and analyzing risks using structured methodologies\, stakeholder engagement techniques\, and evidence-based approaches.\n\niii. Develop competence in risk classification and evaluation: Understand how to categorize risks—strategic\, operational\, financial\, and compliance—and assess their significance\, likelihood\, and potential impact on organizational performance. \n\n Improve proficiency in risk assessment and prioritization: Apply practical tools and assessment matrices to evaluate risk severity\, determine priorities\, and support informed decision-making.\n Strengthen ability to plan and implement risk mitigation strategies: Learn to design practical\, actionable\, and cost-effective mitigation plans aligned with organizational objectives and governance expectations.\n Advance skills in building and reviewing risk registers: Master the preparation\, structuring\, and continuous review of risk registers as dynamic tools for monitoring risk exposures and supporting strategic oversight.\n\nvii. Enhance knowledge of technology-enabled risk management: Explore how GRC platforms\, cloud-based solutions\, and automated tools enhance risk tracking\, reporting\, visualization\, and documentation. \nviii. Promote ethical and professional conduct in risk governance: Reinforce integrity\, independence\, and accountability as central pillars of effective risk management and audit practice. \n\n Strengthen application of scenario analysis: Gain practical experience in modeling interconnected risks\, stress-testing assumptions\, and evaluating the resilience of mitigation measures.\n Foster practical capability through casework and exercises: Engage in hands-on sessions\, group assignments\, and real-world case studies to translate risk-based audit planning concepts into actionable skills.\n Support continuous professional development: Enhance technical competence and practical readiness of accountants and auditors in line with ICPAK’s professional standards\, regulatory expectations\, and CPD requirements.\n\nANNUAL CONVENTION TOPICS\nThe  Annual Convention for CEOs\, Accounting Officers & CECs will delve into the following topical areas among others: \nTheme 1: Strategic Leadership and Governance Excellence \n\nLeadership Competencies for Modern CEOs and Accounting Officers\nBoard Dynamics\, Roles\, Responsibilities & Effective Oversight\nStrengthening Collaboration with Senior Management & Stakeholders\n\nTheme 2: Risk\, Resilience & Decision-Making \n\nEnterprise Risk Management for Executives\nRisk-Informed Decision-Making and Scenario Planning\nCrisis Management\, Continuity Planning & Organizational Resilience\n\nTheme 3: Financial Stewardship & Accountability \n\nOversight of Public and Private Resources\nEthical Financial Management\, Compliance & Audit Readiness\nReporting\, Transparency & Accountability for Decision-Making\nFeedback from OAG & COB\n\nTheme 4: Change\, Digital Transformation & Stakeholder Engagement \n\nLeading Institutional Change and Transformation\nLeveraging Technology\, Data & Digital Systems for Performance\nCommunication\, Public Engagement & Strengthening Public Confidence\n\nTheme 5: Sustainability\, ESG & Public Value \n\nIntegrating ESG Principles into Strategy and Operations\nAligning Institutional Goals with SDGs & National Development Priorities\nCounty Government Sustainability\, OSR Enhancement & Service Delivery\n\n TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe Convention will be beneficial to CEOs\, Managing Directors\, General Managers\, Deputy CEOs\, CECs from County Governments\, Academia and other interested professionals. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 69\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 74\,000 per Delegate\n\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance. \nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements.\n\nCPD UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 CPD points upon successfully attending the Convention. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on all participants to note that booking is available only online at www.icpak.com/events and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is MANDATORY and is available online at www.icpak.com/events. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT: \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.
