Vision:

To be a globally recognized professional accountancy Institute.

Core Values:

Credibility, Professionalism, AccountAbility

The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) is the professional organization that regulates the activities of all Certified Public Accountants in Kenya. It was established in 1978 by the Accountants Act CAP 531. Since then, ICPAK has been dedicated to development and regulation of the accountancy profession in Kenya so as to enhance its contribution and that of its members to national economic growth and development. In 2008, a new Accountants Act No. 15 was enacted to replace the 1978 Accountants Act to take into account the various developments that had shaped the accounting profession globally and in Kenya.

Functions of ICPAK

The Accountants Act No 15, 2008 prescribes the following as the functions of the Institute:

• To promote standards of professional competence and practice amongst members of the Institute
• To promote research into the subject of accountancy and finance and related matters, and the publication of books, periodicals, journals and articles in connection therewith;
• To promote the international recognition of the Institute.
• To advise the Examination Board on matters relating to examinations standards and policies;
• To advise the Minister on matters relating to financial accountability in all sectors of the economy;

ICPAK therefore is the statutory body mandated to develop and regulate the accountancy profession in Kenya through: Supporting the CPA-Ks to be recognized globally as competent professionals who add value whilst serving and protecting the public interest and building sustainable institutional capacity to provide that support.
