Introduction

Devolution has transformed governance in Kenya, placing more financial power at the county level. However, poor financial management, misallocation of funds, and weak internal controls remain challenges. Accountants must take a leadership role in strengthening financial accountability in counties.

How Accountants Can Strengthen County Governance

📌 Enhancing Financial Management: Ensuring proper budgeting, reporting, and controls.
📌 Strengthening Internal Audit Functions: Identifying financial mismanagement and improving accountability.
📌 Capacity Building: Training county finance teams on best practices in public sector accounting.

My Plan as ICPAK Chair

✔ Advocate for accountants to be appointed to key county finance and audit committees.
✔ Enhance training for accountants in public sector finance to improve service delivery.
✔ Engage the Council of Governors to institutionalize professionalism in county financial management.

Call to Action

Vote for me, and let’s make accountants key players in county governance and financial accountability.
