ICPAR QUARTERLY BULLETIN
Foreword
Dear Reader, once again, I
welcome you to the 17th
Issue of the ICPAR Jour-
nal. I hope that as always, it will
keep you informed, updated
and entertained.
We held our first exam sitting of
the year and we had over 1500
students that sat for both CAT
and CPA exams. I congratulate
all candidates who passed their
various examination papers
and those that successfully
completed the CPA (R) and
CAT (R) qualifications and also
would like to thank examiners,
moderators, markers, security
teams, invigilators, staff, and
other service providers for their
contributions towards a suc-
cessful examinations process.
Additionally, speaking on mak-
ing our qualifications locally
relevant and internationally
recognised, we have continued
working on the CPA Revamp
project with ACCA and the
Qualification Structure along
1,500Number of students that sat for both CAT and CPA exams in our first exam sitting of the year.

with other deliverables were
signed off and I believe with
continued support from all our
stakeholders, we shall soon roll
out this revamped qualification.
During this year’s Annual Gen-
eral Meeting (AGM) that was
held on 14 May 2021 at the Ki-
gali Serena hotel, we also elect-
ed a new Governing Council
(GC) as well as new Commis-
sions: Education, Disciplinary
and Inspection. We wish to
congratulate the new GC mem-
bers and Commissioners as we
take the opportunity to thank
those that had served their time
in various capacities and wish
them well as they move on to
other roles in their careers.
Many of us had hoped that the
middle of the year 2021 would
bring some change given that
vaccines against Covid-19 had
started being rolled out. How-
ever, not much has changed as
we are still required to adhere to
all the issued health guidelines
including the hosting of events,
but we strongly believe that this
shall also pass! As part of our
commitment to lifelong learn-
ing, the institute continued to
support its members and other
stakeholder through provision
of online CPD events such as
Planning, Budgeting and Cost
control for managers; Financial
Analysis and Corporate Valua-
tion webinars. Despite the im-
pact of the pandemic, the eco-
nomic and professional skills
development Symposium was
successfully organized as a hy-
brid event: virtually and physi-
cally at the Lake kivu serena ho-
tel, Rubavu in strict adherence
to the safety protocols.
On another positive note, the
institute organized an aware-
ness campaign by selecting a
few schools/ colleges across
the four (4) provinces and the
City of Kigali, bidding at market-
ing both the CAT and CPA qual-
ifications. Considering the level
of engagement and feedback
received, we do believe that
more students will enroll for
these qualifications which will
most importantly allow such
students to qualify with both
an academic certificate/ degree
along with a professional quali-
fication.
On the regional events, ICPAR
attended the East African Con-
gress of Accountants (EACOA)
in Kampala, a Congress that was
displayed both physically and
virtually for those who could not
attend because of the Covid-19
pandemic’s restrictions. At the
Congress, ICPAR was confirmed
as the next host and the event is
scheduled in June 2022 in Rwan-
da.
As we move into the next quarter,
there are several key events that
you may not want to miss out and
these are: 6th ICPAR Bi-Annual Tax
workshop; Fiscal year 2020/2021
Annual Budget Review: Rwanda/
East Africa; Artificial Intelligence,
Ethics and Governance: Harness-
ing the full potential value of IA;
Stakeholder relations and part-
nership management; and Up-
dates on International Standards
on Auditing (ISAs): Audit quality
assurance workshop. We count
on your usual support as you vir-
tually attend these events.
Finally, to top it all, let me also
take this opportunity to wish our
esteemed students the best of
luck in the upcoming August
2021 Examination Sitting which
will be our 2nd sitting this year.
I hope you will enjoy reading our
magazine and we look forward to
receiving your comments. Please
share your stories or articles that
we can share in our subsequent
Issues.

ICPAR will next year host the 4th East African Congress of Accountants in Rwanda. This
was after ICPAU hosted the 3rd EACOA at Africana Hotel, Kam-pala in Uganda from 14th-16th April 2021. The congress was displayed both Physical and vir-tually for those who could not attend because of the Covid 19 pandemics restrictions.
In the congress, the Chief Ex-ecutive Officer of ICPAU, CPA Derick Nkajja said it was vital to have the congress despite the Pandemic of the Covid 19 be-cause of the larger aim and the
objective of the congress. The theme of the congress was ‘In-tegrity for accelerated economic development.’ The key speakers included CPA Edwin Makori I, Dr Fred Muhumuza of Makerere University, MUK lecturer Mr. Nde-besa Mwambutsya, Amin Mira-mago CEO ICPAR, the president of the ICPAU, Nutritionist expert Dr Kasenene, Mr. Vickson Ncu-be, former PAFA CEO, Minister of Finance, Mr Matia Kasaija and many others.
With the previous congress which had been held, the ICPAU Chief Executive Officer agreed

The bonding spirit is very important, even if the prevailing situation remains for the years to come, the East African Community will continue to exist therefore we must find ways to interact, transact and promote the integration efforts.

that the main objective of the 3rd congress was to enhance the involvement of all professionals but mainly the accountants in the East African Region and its borders who would form the Eco-nomic development discussions. The urgency of this was also brought by the factors of eco-nomic challenges brought by the covid 19 pandemics in the East African region and its surround-ing.
The Chief Executive Officer CPA Nkajja further said that “the bond-ing spirit is very important, even if the prevailing situation remains for the years to come, the East Af-rican Community will continue to exist therefore we must find ways to interact, transact and promote the integration efforts.”
The congress acknowledged the role of Accountants in sup-porting the businesses in differ-ent regions of East Africa and its surrounding; therefore, the congress discussed the ideal platforms for the accountants to harmonize the regulations that will ease the impede mobil-ity and ease of trade within the boundaries of East Africa and its surrounding. This acknowledg-ment, as explained, was because of the uneasy transactions of the East African countries; thus, it will improve the operations in the EA-COA.
The discussion also focused on the border trade in the countries in East Africa and its boundaries. As explained, initially, the effi-ciency in the border trades had low performance; thus, the con-gress will improve trade perfor-mance.
This arose to help different nations to adjust, especially when the issues of Covid 19 came in hence leading to the transformation technologi-cally in all the countries.
The congress meeting also discussed the continual of the EACIAs’ mutual under-standing agreement, the life-style on the diseases, espe-cially for the Covid 19 cases, among many others.
At the end of the 3-day event, the ICPAU CEO Mr Nkajja handed over the EACOA flag to the next host ICPAR.
By Joseph Rukara, Communications Manager
The congress also discussed the public finance management in the countries involved and its boundaries. The 2063 Africa’s plan was also discussed to lay its way of performance before then in its favour. It was also high-lighted that high management of funds was to be observed, es-pecially when the countries are experiencing the covid 19 pan-demic.
The congress discussed the political state of the nations in-volved. The representatives of the countries were admonished to enhance a peaceful political forum that will ultimately favour the EACOA operations.
The impact of technological ad-vancements was also explained.

April 2021 CPA and CAT examination results released
The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Rwanda (ICPAR) hereby
releases its 17th examinations results for both Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and Certi-fied Accounting Technicians (CAT), which were adminis-tered between 26th - 30th April 2021 at examination Centre’s of Kigali Independent Univer-sity (ULK); University of Rwan-da (UR - CBE Nyagatare); Uni-versity of Kigali – Musanze campus, University of Rwan-da (UR - CBE Rusizi); and Uni-versity of Rwanda (UR) Huye Campus.
1,501 students sat for April 2021 examinations. These were made up of 1073 CPAs and 428 CATs while the December 2020 sitting had registered 1,006 candidates made up of 849 (CPAs) and 157 (CATs). There is a 49% increment compared to students who sat in December 2020 and this is large-ly attributed to the adoption of blended learning delivery meth-od by both sponsors and training providers.

The iCPAR JOURNAL 9
The overall average pass rates for April 2021 sitting are 41% for CPA and 42% for CAT compared to 42% (CPA) and 23% (CAT) in December 2020 sitting. The CAT pass rate increase is mainly attributed to stu-dents embracing of IT and effective usage of online resources.
A total of 7 students – 6 CPAs and 1 CAT - have fully completed the CPA (R) and CAT (R) qualifications, respectively. This brings the total to 101 candidates who have completed the CPA(R) qualification and 184 candidates who have completed the CAT(R) qualification.
The institute hereby congratulates all candidates who passed their various examination papers and
those that have successfully completed the CPA (R) and CAT (R) qualifications and our commiserations to those that did not make it this time round. We again remind you that “Failure doesn’t mean you are a failure … it just means you haven’t succeeded yet.”
The management of ICPAR wishes to thank exam-iners, moderators, markers, security teams, invig-ilators, staff, and other service providers for their contributions towards a successful examinations process.

New education Standards focus on enhancing accountancy’s technology and skepticism skills
The International Account-ing Education Standards Board (IAESB) today re-
leased four revised International Education Standards (IESs) ad-dressing learning and develop-ment for information and commu-nications technologies (ICT) and professional skepticism. As mar-ket expectation increases for ICT skills and professional skepticism, these standards were developed to address the competencies, skills, and behaviors for both as-piring and professional accoun-tants in these critical areas.
“These revised standards sup-port the continued enhancement of quality financial reporting as the disruptive potential for ICT increases and the importance of demonstrating professional skep-ticism is heightened.” said IAESB Chair Anne-Marie Vitale.
The revised education stan-dards include newly added and revised ICT and professional skepticism learning outcomes that:
Improve the relevance and quality of professional ac-counting education offered by professional accountancy organizations (PAOs), includ-ing IFAC member organiza-tions;
Identify learning and develop-ment activities that enhance the professional competence of aspiring and current profes-sional accountants; and
Support the accounting pro-fession in its provision of high-quality financial report-ing, auditing, or other related financial and accounting ser-vices in the digital age.
A PUBLICATION OF THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF RWANDA JULY - SEPTEMBER 2021

The revised education standards should be incorporated into the educational requirements for IFAC membership organizations. They are also relevant for stake-holders interested in professional accountants’ learning and devel-opment, such as public account-
ABOUT THE IAESB
The IAESB develops education standards, guidance, and infor-mation papers for use by IFAC member organizations under a shared standard-setting pro-cess involving the Public In-terest Oversight Board, which oversees the activities of the IAESB, and the IAESB Consul-tative Advisory Group, which provides public interest input into the development of the standards and guidance. The structures and processes that support the operations of the IAESB are facilitated by IFAC. In 2018, IFAC and the IAESB devel-oped a plan for a new path for-ward for advancing accounting education at the global level. With the conclusion of the IAESB’s work plan in 2019, this new approach, which is de-signed—as part of a broader mandate—to maintain and rein-force the authority of the Inter-national Education Standards, is being implemented and the IAESB and its consultative advi-sory group have ceased opera-tion.
ABOUT IFAC
IFAC is the global organization for the accountancy profession dedicated to serving the public interest by strengthening the profession and contributing to the development of strong international economies. IFAC is comprised of more than 175 members and associates in more than 130 countries and jurisdic-tions, representing almost 3 mil-lion accountants in public prac-tice, education, government service, industry, & commerce.
These revised standards support the continued enhancement of quality financial reporting as the disruptive potential for ICT increases and the importance of demonstrating professional skepticism is heightened.

The IAESB has also developed support materials to assist PAOs in developing curricula for ICT, professional accountants in busi-ness, and public sector accoun-tancy programs.

Leadership Starts with You – the Value of Self-leadership
Leadership practice tends to focus on what is exter-nal to the leader – follow-
ers, customers, the board, other stakeholders, regulation and the operating environment. Do lead-ers ever think about the extent to which their success is con-ditioned by what is intrinsic to them? What role does the ‘self’ play in leadership? Can leaders consistently and authentically give on the outside, what they don’t have on the inside? Can
are on the inside?
In many organisations, when you have excelled technically, you are thought to have earned the right to lead others – so you are made a manager irrespective of wheth-er you have learned how to lead yourself first. But how important is learning to lead yourself? Re-nowned leader and founder of Visa, Dee Hock once said, “If you want to lead, invest at least 40% of your time in leading yourself first.” We explore the importance of learning to lead yourself first before you lead others in this ar-ticle.
There is no universal rulebook for leadership – to the extent that there is even no universal defini-tion of leadership. Therefore, the value of data, information and experience notwithstanding, the practice of leadership draws heavily from personal values, atti-tudes, world-view and even intu-ition. Leaders like Oprah Winfrey (a global Television icon) or Tim Cook (CEO of Apple Inc.) speak about their biggest and most suc-cessful decision coming down to intuition.
Imagine you are part of a work team that has gathered togeth-er in a meeting room, waiting to meet their new leader. When the leader walks in, what kind of questions would you really want to ask? Some of these questions actually never get asked, but wouldn’t you really want to ask the following;
Who are you?
What do you stand for and be-lieve in?
Why you?
If you want to lead, invest at least 40% of your time in leading yourself first.

1. KNOW WHAT YOU STAND FOR
Its Malcolm X who once said, “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything!” And that’s no way to lead. Leader-ship starts with identifying what ‘grabs us and won’t let go’. What are those things that we believe so firmly that they are non-nego-tiable in whatever circumstance? Many individuals live their entire lives without ever clarifying what their personal values are! When we are not clear about what we stand for, as leaders, we are like-ly to shift positions with every opinion or fad. Our constituents will then see us as inconsistent, unreliable and wavering. This undermines trust and credibility. And as leadership guru, Stephen M R Covey says, “Trust is the new currency of leadership.”
So how can we best clarify our personal values? First, think of someone you deeply respect. What qualities do you most ad-mire in that person? Take a clue from this. Secondly, what matters most to you, what motivates you in the work environment? How would you define success? What do you expect of co-workers and other constituents? These ques-tions will lead you to what your personal values are. But you must go beyond this because values are not simply aspirational. You need to zero down on those val-ues that are non-negotiable for you under even the most stress-ful and challenging circumstanc-es.
A leader models the way for fol-lowers and to do this, one needs to know clearly who they are and
Where do you want to take us?
What makes you think you can do this?
Do you really know what you are getting yourself into?
You see, questions like these get to the heart of leadership. The person behind the “mask” of the position is what really counts – and that is what people really want to get to know. They want to know what informs your decisions, what inspires you, what drives you, what gives us strength, what you dread, what you can’t contend with. Famous authors James M. Kouzes and Barry Z Posner (authors of such great books as The Leadership Challenge and Practices of Exem-plary Leadership) actually argue that,
“The quest for leadership, there-fore is first an inner quest to dis-cover who you are and its through this process of self-examination that you find the awareness needed to lead… the mastery of the art of leadership comes with the mastery of the self, and so de-veloping leadership is a process of developing the self.”
Great leadership is not just about the latest fads or being technical-ly sound, it’s about leading out of what is already within – be-cause the fads fade away and the technical landscape is forever shifting, but the self remains. Its about what James Kouzes and Barry Posner call, “liberating the leader within us”.
But how do we “liberate the lead-er within us”? I suggest the fol-lowing:
what their core values are. And when these values drive their ev-ery decision and action, then it helps to positively transform their leadership effectiveness. Just as a car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster when its wheels are in perfect alignment, a leader equally per-forms better when his thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in perfect balance.
2. BE SELF-AWARE
For many leaders, this is a tough one – mainly because we are fo-cused on what is external to us.

Self-awareness actually means stepping out and looking in – and the challenge is that even when we look in, we may not be able to see clearly because of our blind spots. And many leaders don’t ask for feedback from their con-stituents. And even when they do, they are not likely to get the truth because not that many peo-ple speak truth to power. Or they are not likely to believe it. The sto-ry of the Emperor’s new clothes il-lustrates this well. This emperor’s only interest in life was to dress up in fashionable clothes. But two thieves decided to teach him a lesson. They told the emperor
that they were very fine tailors and could sew a lovely new suit for him. It would be so light and fine that it would seem invisi-ble. Only those who were stupid could not see it. The emperor was very excited and ordered the new tailors to begin their work. When the emperor’s new dress was ready, he could see nothing but he too did not want to appear stupid. He admired the dress and thanked the tailors. He was asked to parade down the street for all to see the new clothes. The em-peror paraded down the main street. His people could only see a naked emperor but no one ad-mitted it for fear of being thought stupid. They foolishly praised the invisible fabric and the colours. The emperor was very happy. At last, a child cried out, “The em-peror is naked!” The emperor realised the truth but preferred to believe that his people were stupid.
This is what leaders often get from their followers – empty praise. However, if we can get honest feed-back from our con-stituents, it’s a great way to en-hance self-awareness.
Another approach for enhancing self-awareness is to conduct a personal character check. We do this by thinking about the best and worst ever leaders we know. We then jot down what made them so – and then consider our own leadership behaviour and how it measures up. The result of this assessment would be to pinpoint the areas where we are bad leaders and make a deliber-ate plan to improve and to note our strengths and make a plan to leverage the areas further.
3. SELF-REGULATE
When we achieve self-awareness, we position ourselves for self-reg-ulation, in order to enhance value, trust and credibility with our con-stituents. To do this, its important to be aware of our ‘emotional trig-gers’. What are those experiences, behaviours, ideas, scenarios that bring out the worst in us? When we are aware of them, we are more able to control them. It is also very helpful to learn how to “reframe” emotive and stressful situations using the power of our minds. Whenever we are confronted with such, we need to learn to stop and think; “on a scale of 1 to 10, how important is this issue right now?” Interestingly, we might discover that a vast majority of these stress-ors are 1s and 2s and can be total-ly ignored without shattering our calm and undermining our credi-bility. We must address the 9s and 10s of course.
Finally, who is the first person you need to lead? You. Who is the first person who needs to follow you? You. If you are not willing to follow you – why would any one else want to follow you? Unless and until you passionately believe in something, it’s hard to imagine that you can convince anyone to believe in it. And so, the primal step in the leadership journey is knowing who you are and learn-ing to lead yourself effectively. When you do, you are able to har-monise your thoughts, your words and your actions and truly achieve trust and credibility as a leader.
