Key risk indicators (KRIs) are metrics that are used to measure the level of risk associated with a particular business process or activity. KRIs are used to identify potential risks and to monitor the effectiveness of risk controls. Some common examples of KRIs include financial metrics, such as debt-to-equity ratio, operational metrics, such as employee turnover rate, and compliance metrics, such as the number of regulatory violations. The selection of KRIs depends on the specific industry, organization, and risk profile.
