Course overview
Introduction
Risk registers describe what could go wrong, but they do not always show whether risk is rising or falling. Key risk indicators fill this gap by providing measurable, forward-looking signals that alert management to changes in exposure before losses occur. Well-designed indicators help organisations act early, monitor appetite and focus attention where it matters.
This Key Risk Indicators: Design and Reporting training course shows how to select, define, set thresholds for and report key risk indicators. Participants learn the difference between leading and lagging indicators, how to link indicators to risks, controls and appetite, how to source reliable data and how to build dashboards that drive action.
The course is practical throughout, and participants leave with a set of indicators designed for risks in their own organisation.
Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the purpose of key risk indicators in risk management
- Distinguish risk, control and performance indicators
- Select indicators that are relevant, measurable and predictive
- Define indicators clearly with data sources and ownership
- Set thresholds aligned with risk appetite and tolerance
- Design dashboards and reports that prompt action
- Validate and review the effectiveness of indicators
- Embed indicators into governance and escalation processes
Target Audience
This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including:
- Risk managers and risk analysts
- Operational risk professionals
- Compliance officers
- Internal auditors
- Business unit managers responsible for risk
- Performance and management information professionals
Training Methodology
The course is workshop-based. Participants choose risks from their own organisation and develop indicators for them step by step, defining metrics, data sources and thresholds and building a sample dashboard. Group critique and case studies of effective and ineffective indicators reinforce good design.

- Indicator selection
- Indicator definition and data sourcing
- Threshold setting
