INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under cap 531 of the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
FINANCIAL REPORTING & MANAGEMENT SEMINAR FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Theme: Enhancing Accountability in the Building and Infrastructure Sector
Venue: English Point Marina – Mombasa
Date: 17th – 19th October, 2018
Time: 9am – 4pm daily
Overview
The building and construction sector contributes 4.8% of the Kenyan economic output (GDP). The population growth statistics also paint a rosy future for the construction industry. With the global population predicted to hit 9 billion by 2010, and 2 out of every 3 people living in cities by then, the demand for construction has never been greater. Worldwide, construction is already one of the largest industry sectors, accounting for more than 11 percent of global GDP and expected to grow to 13.2 percent by 2020, according to reliable studies undertaken in 2014.
However, focusing on this strong demand obscures a more precarious reality. Underlying challenges in productivity, profitability, performance, labour, and sustainability pose a threat to the industry’s growth. Organizations which will address these challenges effectively and re-engineer their business processes will be poised for significant growth. Businesses that fail to take the challenges seriously, however, will face an uphill battle for viability and long-term survival.
It is in view of the above that the Institute has organized this inaugural seminar to address some of the notable issues facing the construction industry, especially those related to financial reporting demands.
