How to Develop Key Risk Indicators
Key Risk Indicators are indispensable tools for Operational Risk Management. This is a brief guide on how to build a useful KRI framework based on[1]
Design Characteristics
Any piece of reliable information can in principle be used as the basis of an indicator. The broad characteristics of ‘good’ indicators are outlined in this section.
- Practical: Indicators should be simple and relatively cost effective to collect, quality assure and distribute on a repeated basis
- Measurable: Indicators must be capable of being measured (converted into a quantitative metric) with a high level of certainty and on a repeated basis
- Relevant: Indicators must have relevance to what is being monitored. Establishing relevane is more important when KRI's are used directly for other risk management tasks (limits, capital etc.)
- Timely: Ideally, indicators must be able to predict problems far enough in advance to help mitigation efforts (Lagging indicators might also be of interest for information purposes)
- Comparable: Indicators that can be compared to independent benchmarks help establish validity
- Verifiable: It should be possible for a third party to independently audit or validate the entire process of KRI generation
