 Key risk indicators (KRIs) are metrics that predict potential risks that can negatively impact businesses. They provide a way to quantify and monitor each risk. Think of them as change-related metrics that act as an early warning risk detection system to help companies effectively monitor, manage and mitigate risks1. By monitoring KRIs, the board of directors can ensure the enterprise is responsive to changes in its environment that would directly impact critical business processes, such as market fluctuations, customer preferences, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, or cyber threats. Monitoring KRIs can help the board of directors to identify and assess the current and emerging risks, to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of the risk management strategies and controls, to communicate and report the risk status and issues, and to take timely and appropriate actions to prevent or reduce the impact of the risks234. References: How to Develop Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to Fortify Your Business. ThePower of KRIs in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). KRI (Key Risk Indicator): Understanding KRI and why is it important?. Key Risk Indicators (KRIs).
