Why Should You Attend:

A Key Risk Indicator, also known as KRI, is a metric used in risk management to indicate the riskiness of an activity. KRI’s are important tools within risk management and are used to enhance the monitoring and mitigation of risks and facilitate risk reporting. KRIs enable risk managers to identify conditions that may result in losses and act upon them before actual losses are realized. Metrics also act as indicators of changes in the overall risk profile of a firm.

KRIs play an important role in risk management by highlighting areas of elevated risk and enabling timely action. KRIs enable firms to:

• Identify current risk exposure and emerging risk trends
• Highlight control weaknesses and allow for the strengthening of poor controls
• Facilitate the risk reporting and escalation process
• Support risk quantification and identifying opportunities to improve processes
• Validate and enhance the risk assessment framework by linking KRIs to risk causes and allowing management to monitor exposure to adverse events Help define and set working level risk appetite based on event frequency
• Assist with scenario analysis and stress test exercises as a means to scale and benchmark internal and external data
